A Month in Bora Bora

Chapter 7: A Hotel, Movies, and Wine

"There you two are! I woke up and Harry wasn't in bed so I was looking for him and noticed you weren't in bed either! Where did you go?"

I was quick to come up with an answer. "Oh uhm we just went to the beach.. Neither of us could get any sleep."

"Yeah. " Harry agreed.

"Oh. Well you two were gone for a while, what were you doing?"

Me and Harry said different answers at the same time.

"Eating."

"Talking."

I mentally face-palmed.

"Well, we did both haha.." I tried.

Louis didn't look convinced.

"Well I'm gonna go to bed now.." I paused, remembering I slept on the couch. "Actually um you're on my bed haha."

Louis jumped up.

"Oh, sorry. I suppose we're going to bed too. Harry?"

Harry was still frozen by the door, but snapped out of it when he heard his name.

"Oh uhm yeah, let's get to bed. I'm knackered." he replied with a light laugh.

We awkwardly hugged before he followed Louis into the bedroom. I didn't know how to feel about what happened tonight. I mean, I felt guilty because Niall is my boyfriend, but maybe Harry was right. Niall is a fair weather boyfriend. He's great one minute, but he drinks one beer and he turns into a complete jerk. And there's only two honest people in the world: small children, and drunk people. So everything that Niall said, he meant. And the way Harry treats me.. He makes me feel like I'm loved, and needed, and important. I had to practically beg Niall to let me stay with him, and Harry offered. But that doesn't change the fact that I cheated on my boyfriend, jerk or not, and I could not let it happen again. I decided to sleep on it, and figure out what to tell Harry in the morning.

*Harry's P.O.V.*

I knew Louis would ask me more questions, questions I didn't know how to answer. I had to tell him the truth though, he is my best friend and I know he'd never tell anyone about it.

"Harry, what the hell was that?"

"I don't know okay! I don't know.."

"Listen. I love you, lad. And I'll love you no matter what. But you have to tell me the truth, Harry."

I sighed and ran both hands through my curls.

"Like she said, neither of us could sleep, so we went to the beach. But-"

Ugh telling him was going to be way harder than I thought.

"But what?"

"But we weren't just talking and we definitely weren't eating.."

His eyes widened.

"Oh my God Harry, what did I tell you?! Do you really want a repeat of what happened with Bethany?!"

Just the mention of her name made me sick.

"No! It's not like that Louis!"

"Oh really? How so?!"

"Reagan is different! She deserves so much better than Niall. I treated Bethany like a queen, and she left me for no good reason! Niall treats Reagan like shit, and she's scared to leave him! She's a good person, Louis. And I'm not gonna sit here and watch her be miserable because she feels like she has nowhere to go."

He sighed and plopped down on the bed next to me, patting my back.

"I understand, and I'm sorry, but you have to let her go. For the sake of the band. Maybe one day Niall will find a new girl, and Reagan will be all yours. But for now it'll only cause problems."
