“Hello?” Harry asked into the receiver of the phone.

“Hi.” Niall said back. He was leaning against the wall of a convenience store.

Harry sighed. “Niall, that you again?”

Niall let out a small laugh. “Yup, it’s me… you say again like this isn’t only the second time.” He heard Harry let out a laugh like his and smiled.

“When are you coming home, baby?” Harry asked, his voice serious again.

Niall sighed, running his hand down his face. “I don’t know when. Hell, I don’t know if I will, ever. I hope I can, but I have to forgive you first, I’m working on it.”

Harry’s breath was shallow. “I told you I was sorry, how many more times do I have to say it, Ni?”

Niall let out a humorless laugh and snarled, “Sorry doesn’t fix everything, Harry. You hurt me, it takes time. Hell, you’re lucky I’m even considering it, to be fucking honest.”

“I told you, Modest made-“

“They made you take her on the damn bus, Harry! Not fuck her, especially on a bunk we shared!”

Harry’s voice broke through his sentence. “I didn’t mean to, baby! It just-“

“Yeah, Harry, I know. It just happened, you’ve said that before. I’m tired of hearing it.” Niall said, his voice harsh.

Harry’s heart shattered. “Niall, please, baby.”

“Shut up, don’t call me that. Not until I say you can.” Niall could hear the shift of Harrys breathing. He knew that hurt him, but he forced himself not to care. It served him right.

Harry took a deep, shaky breath. “Niall, ba… Niall. I love you?” Harry said, but it was more of a question.

“Yeah, if you say so.”

Harry was going to respond, but the line went dead.
