Love & Lies || H.S.

Chapter 5: Love Already?

Harry's POV

I leaned in, kissed Janine on the cheek, and walked out.

"Good night, Haz." I heard her say.

I smiled.

I walked down the stairs to the living room. Eleanor and Louis were still there. I sat in the sofa beside them.

"I haven't seen her before, Harry. Did you just meet her or something?" asked Lou.

"Yeah... I did." I said.

"Where?"asked Louis and Eleanor in sync.

They looked at each other and smiled.

I rolled my eyes. Two lovebirds.

"I met her in Hyde Park." I say. "Well first I was spying on her."

Louis laughed.

"Spying on her, Haz? Really?" he asked.

"Well not intentionally! I was just walking and I heard a car pulled up. I decided to go see who it was, but I didn't want to look like I was stalking or anything." I said.

"Don't you think that if you didn't hide, you would look normal?" asked Eleanor, amused.

I gave her a don't-think-you-know-everything look. But she was right. She always was.

"I don't know, I wasn't thinking." I say. "But when I saw her I couldn't move. She was just so beautiful." I say.

"Awwww, it looks like Harold's in love!" said Louis, laughing.

"Shut up, Lou." I said, giving him a death stare.

Janine's POV

I stood in my place thinking about what just happened between me and Harry. I think... I like him.

'Woah, Janine- you just broke up with your boyfriend for 3 years. You can't already be liking someone else...' I said to myself.

I decided to drop the thought there. I turned around and headed towards the bathroom.

I turned the shower on and let the water run so it could get hot. I started to take my clothes off.

I stepped into the shower under the nice, hot water. I picked up a bottle of shampoo and poured some into my hand. I started to sing Give Your Heart a Break.

The day I first met you 

You told me you'd never fall in love 

But now that I get you 

I know fear is what it really was.

Now here we are, so close 

Yet so far, haven't I passed the test? 

When will you realize 

Baby, I'm not like the rest

Don't wanna break your heart 

I wanna give your heart a break 

I know you're scared it's wrong 

Like you might make a mistake 

There's just one life to live 

And there's no time to waste, to waste

So let me give your heart a break 

Give your heart a break 

Let me give your heart a break 

Your heart a break

Oh, yeah yeah.

I started to soap up. I couldn't stop thinking about Joey.

I thought about all the fights he would pick with me. How I always had to try around him. Maybe I stopped loving him a long time ago.

I turned off the water and came out of the shower.

I grabbed a towel and started to dry up.

I put on the clothes that Eleanor gave me. It fit perfectly.  

I walked into the bedroom, looking for my purse. I left it on the bed. I sat down.

I started to think about Harry and how sweet he was. The way he comforted me and let me stay here tonight.

My thoughts were interrupted when my phone started to ring. I picked it up and looked at the caller id: Brenda.

I answered the phone.

Me: Hello?

Brenda: Hey Janine! How's everything?

Me: Um.. everything's fine.

Brenda: How's Joey?

I thought about what to say. I hate having to lie to my sister.

Brenda: Janine? Are you there?

Me: Yeah, I'm still here. Joey's fine.

Brenda: Janine, is everything alright?

Me: Err... Brenda I have to go. I'll call you later kay?

Brenda: Okay, I'm waiting!

I put my phone down and got up. I took a hair tie out of my bag and put my hair in a messy bun.

I walked around the side of the bed into Harry's walk-in-closet. I brushed my hand along his clothes.

I walked out of the closet and climbed into the bed. I laid there thinking about my relationship.

I closed my eyes and let my thoughts take over. I felt as if I was having a war with my conscious. Soon enough, sleep took me over.

Harry's POV

After getting tired of watching King Kong, I decided to go check on Janine.

I made my way up the stairs and walked down to the end of the hall. My bedroom door was cracked open.

I looked inside and I saw Janine sitting on the bed. She got up, and put her hair in a bun. She walked into my closet.

I opened the door a bit to see what she was doing. I saw her fingertips brushing along my clothes. As I saw her start to walk out, I quickly closed the door to its original position.

I saw her climb into bed, as she drifted off to sleep. I remained where I was and watched her.

Just then, I felt as if someone was coming up behind me. As I turned around, I saw Lou.

"Oh god, Harry, you scared the living day light out of me." he said.

I laughed.

"Weren't you trying to scare me?" I ask, laughing. "That didn't seem to go as you planned did it?"

He gave me a look.

"Shut up." he said standing behind me. "That's horrible, what her boyfriend did to her."

"I know. She's such a nice girl. Quite fit." I say, still looking at Janine.

"Just be her friend, Haz. She just broke up with someone she dated for 3 years." he said.

"Gosh, you sound like Liam." I say. "But I know, I won't hurt her."

I took a deep breath.

"I think I love her." I say.

To be continued....

**********

So Janine thinks she never loved Joey and she thinks she likes Harry.

She's finding it hard to tell Brenda what's going on.

Harry tells Louis he loves Janine. Lou also tells Harry not to hurt her. Is Harry going to try something? Or will he be friends with her for now until Janine gets over her breakup?

Will there be Jarry?
