Tough Love ((ON HOLD))

Chapter 9

Hope you like it :) xx

Instead of Harry answering my question he grabbed my face and-----

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry grabbed my face pretty hard but once he had a good grip on me he calmed down a bit and started bringing my face towards him. It was quite slow but right when Harry started leaning in Niall jumped up from the couch and shouted , " Stop !! She's mine !! Harry !!" When Niall finally said something and started walking towards us, Harry picked up his pace . Although, when Niall distracted Harry for those 2 seconds i got ready and slapped Harry. Hard i might add.

Harry backed up a little. " Elena?!?!" he said while rubbing his cheek.

" You okay Elena?" Niall came up to me and hugged me. Just hugged me. I was really confused.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All three of us were sitting in the living room. Niall and I on the love seat ( we weren't holding each other or touching) and Harry on the arm chair.

I took a sip of my tea that Harry had made for me and himself. I didn't like tea, but the way Harry made it just gave it this little touch.

Niall was just sitting there with his arms crossed and giving Harry a death stare. Harry face looked angry but his actions were calm, like nothing had happened. He could have gotten into a fight with one of his best mates and he was just sitting there like nothing.

I was waiting for an apology from Harry. I know some of you might be thinking " Why would you need an apology from Harry Styles. He was about to kiss you and you screwed it up!"

A few minutes later Harry said. " Ok. I'm sorry Elena for almost kissing you when you clearly didn't want to be kissed by me."

It wasn't the best apology ever, but I'll take it. " Ok Harry, it's fine. Just dont do it again."

I looked over at Niall to see him stilling glaring at Harry. He saw me looking and gave me a smile. I smiled back. That smile just brings up my mood. We just sat there staring at each other in comfortable silence.

" I guess it is clear who you chose, isn't it?" Harry said breaking the moment between Niall and I.

* SIGH* i started " Harry, I..."

" No Elena. Even if I made you chose 2 months from now it would have still been Niall. I get it. I just don't want to spend my time chasing after a girl who doesn't show any interest in me when i have such strong feelings for her. As for you Niall, I cant look at you the same way anymore."

" Harry I haven't done nothing, and neither has Elena." Niall told Harry.

" Whatever." With that Harry left the room with tears in his eyes.

" Harry what's wrong?" said a voice outside by the door.

Must be one of the boys. I wiped the tears on my face.

" Hey Niall. Whats wrong with Haz?" Louis asked concerned over his best friend.

" Oh hi Elena. I didn't know you were here." Louis walked over to me and gave me a hug.

" Hi Louis."

" Have you been crying Elena? Whats wrong with you and Harry? Did Something happen?"

" What's wrong?" Liam and Zayn said together as they entered the room with grocery bags in their hands.

I got up and quickly walked into the bathroom.

Once i got into the bathroom i started crying. I'm not just crying because i hurt Harry, but you should have seen Liam's and Zayn's faces when they walked in and saw me. Liam was expression was just a ' I knew it was a bad idea to let a fan close' but Zayn's was the worst. He told me before when we 1st met ,that if i liked Niall i had to be easy with him. He didnt mention anything about Harry, but i guess he thought i would understand that too. He was disappointed in me and we only knew each other for a day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( Zayn's POV) :D

God damn it. I should have known that Harry had a thing for Elena, and tell her to be easy on him too. This just wasn't Harry, to get so emotional with a girl he just met a day ago, especially a fan. You never know if a fan likes you for you. Now Harry ran off doing who knows what !

" Niall you should go talk to Elena. Tell her I'm sorry will ya?" Niall nodded and went to the bathroom.

" Why do you want him to tell her you are sorry?" Louis asked. Liam just had a confused look on his face.

" She knows why. I am going to look for Harry"

" I'll come with you." Louis said. He was concerned for his best bud ,so i nodded.

" I'll just stay here and look after these two kids" Liam said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( Niall's POV)

I'm not really sure why Zayn told me to tell her he was sorry. He didn't do anything to make her cry. The only people who should be apologising is me and Harry . We overwhelmed her, she probably couldn't take it all in in one day. I feel horrible.

Once i got to the bathroom door i heard sobs. Oh no. I knocked " Elena?" nothing. ' Elena please let me in so we can talk."

Elena opened the door and i walked in. It was a big bathroom. Enough room for us to both be sitting on the floor.

" Yes NIall." Elena said. Oh gosh her eyes were all red.

" I'm so sorry please dont cry." I grabbed her and hugged her. Hugging her was great.

* snif sniff* " Im trying not to babe." She said

babe? I like the sound of that. " Zayn said he was sorry. Do you know why he would say that when he hasn't done anything?"

" Really? Yea i know why."

" Why?"

" Can we not talk about that? Maybe some other time."

" OK. how bout we leave this bathroom and go for a walk? That will cheer you up !" I looked down to her beautiful face. Those eyes get me every time. I just wanted to lean in and kiss her already, but our first kiss in a bathroom? I think not.

" That sounds lovely." She got up and washed her face a little bit. Once she was done i grabbed her hand and lead her out.

" Where are you 2 going?" Liam asked. He was eating some chips and drinking a coke while watching some TV.

" We are going out for a walk."

I hurried Elena out before LIam could protest. Elena giggled.

" why are we running away from him?"

" I dont want him to say we need a bodyguard. I want to spend this time with you."

Elena smiled and went along with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( Elena's POV)

I guess it is safe to say that Niall Horan liked me and I liked him back.

I choose Niall instead of Harry. I hope it was the right decision. It feels like it is. Either way I am not looking back, this feels like the start of something new. I never had anything really good in my life. I was an only child, parents divorced. Niall Horan made me feel special. He was good to me.

I never believed in true love before Niall Horan came into my life.

That was cute ! awww she choose Niall! Hope you liked her decision. Even if you don't, and wanted her to be with Harry, keep reading. I have so much more in store for Elena, Niall, and Harry:) And i put the boys in this chapter. I hope it made sense lol.... as i said there is much more to come for these love birds ;) please keep reading. love you lots- andrea.xx
