Just friends (L.T.) [FINISHED]

19 - Friends?

"Hey," he says, trying to make eye contact with me. I turn my head. I can feel my heart pounding in, almost out of, my chest, it's racing. I look at my hand and notice it's shaking, just like the rest of my body. Oh Lord, get my out of here. "Yasmin.." he speaks, waiting for me to say something. His eyes are still on me. I can just feel the awkwardness inside this room. Maybe I should say something? No. He wanted to talk, not me. "Yasmin.." he tries one last time while I'm standing here, trying to avoid any kind of contact. "Okay, so you're not gonna say anything? Then I don't think I had to come here. I better leave if you want to do it like that." He turns around and slowly walks away. Out of my life.

"Louis, wait!" That sounded louder than it did in my head. It didn't sound confident; it was rather miserable. But that's exactly what I'm right now: miserable. Miserably waiting for him to say everything's mistake, he'd get a divorce and he'd love me. My heart's racing, my whole body's shaking. "I'm sorry."

After hearing those words, he turns back around. "So this is what you've been sad about the past months?" Actually it's what I've been sad about for a really long time but you can put it like that as well. "Why didn't you tell me? We could've talked about this like adults?"

"Is that really what you think? If you would have known this earlier, you would have reacted the exact the same way. I'd lose you anyway and the fact that it has to be this way.." I can barely talk through all the tears running down my face. "..that's sad but that's the way it is. You can't change it. It's faith." This is it. I think this is the end.

"Who says you're gonna lose me?"

"Friends? He wants to be friends?" Harry asks, knowing exactly what I'm thinking. During this whole thing we got closer and closer as friends. I'm so grateful for such a great friend. "Well, that's gonna be hard but-"

"I can't do that, Harry!" I can't hold back any tears and fall into his arms. He rubs my back with his hand. "I can't see him being all happy with Eleanor, raising Freddie, whom I would be - according the lie he has told me - an amazing mom for. All the hope I had for us is gone. All the hope he ever gave me. No, all the words he spoke that I may have understood wrong. How could I be so dumb?!" I'm still hugging Harry. "How could I think there was hope?"

He sooths me. "Yasmin, look at me." I lift up my head and look him right in the eye. "This isn't all your fault. Ruining his marriage wasn't the smartest option." Thanks for reminding me. "But no one can blame for believing and loving. And one day, a guy will come along and he'll treat you the way you deserve."

"Promised?"

"I promise."
