I'm THEIR son!? (Book 1) | Larry Stylinson

Chapter 16

Louis' POV

Larry seemed pretty nervous about going to surgery. We all told him he'll be fine and gave him a hug. Once he was gone for the operating room, they escorted us to the waiting room. I really don't like the feel of this room. It's depressing to see so many family members worried about their loved ones. I sigh and take my seat next to Liam.

El and Danni went with Stella to get us some food. I really wasn't expecting El to be here. I'm glad she's here but I had things planned in Miami. I was going to ask her to marry me. The only person I've talked to about it is Liam. He was as shocked as me when he saw Danni and El.

"Lou? What are you gonna do about proposing to El?" Liam asks quietly.

"YOU WERE GOING TO PROPOSE TO EL!?" Zayn yells.

I wince from his yells and nod. Zayn, along with Niall and Harry, come up to me and give me a bone crushing hug. HEY! That's my thing! They let go and start asking a whole bunch of questions. Gah, now I want to throw hot coffee on their faces.

"Guys! I really have no idea what I'm gonna do anymore. Now that they came here to Texas, El can't go to Miami," I sigh.

They all sit down and start to think. Niall's thinking face makes him look like he's going to go to the bathroom. Harry is just staring. Is that hint of sadness in his eyes? I don't want him to be upset. I sigh and wait for an answer from the guys.

"Did you buy a ring?" Niall asks.

"No, Nialler. I got her a soda tab and put it in a box. Of course I bought her a ring," I say.

I take it out of my pocket. I open the box. The beauty of it still amazed me. It cost a lot of money, but I got the best for El. She means the world to me.

"Well, how bout you propose to her here in Texas?" Zayn suggests.

"I thought of that, but I have nothing planned here," I say.

"Leave it to us! We'll get you great stuff planned. We'll even have Stella and Danni in on it. You've got nothing to worry about," Niall says.

When Niall says I have nothing to worry about...it makes me start to worry about everything. He isn't exactly the best when it comes to surprises. I nod to Niall and Harry just stares blankly at us. He gets up and walks somewhere.

"What's wrong with him?" Liam asks.

"I'll go find out," I say.

I jump up from my seat and walk around looking for Harry. I ask nurses if they've seen him. They give me directions until it leads me to the garden at the hospital. I find Harry sitting on a bench looking out at the small pond. I quickly walk to him and sit down next to him. I turn my head to him. He keeps staring straight forward. I sigh and look ahead.

"You're upset aren't you," I say.

"No, Louis, I'm a bottle of happiness," Harry's voice says dripping with sarcasm.

"Haz, why are you so upset?" I ask.

He looks at me like I'm stupid.

"Well, isn't it obvious? I still love you Lou, but I know how much El loves you too," he says looking down at his hands.

"Harry, we just weren't meant to be together. You'll find your special someone. Hell, that person might even be with us right now, but I know it's not me," I say looking at him.

His head turns to me. His greens eyes say it all. He wants to know who it is. As strange as it sounds, I think I know who he fancies. I'm pretty sure of it. He just acts like he doesn't know it.
