Louis POV

Tuesday continued-

Harry had been ignoring Louis all day, attending to Betsie's new lamb, and helping Cord and his mother with the horses. Whenever they found themselves alone, Harry would pretend he had other things to do than talk to Louis. Harry kept playing this game that should be behind them now that their lips touched twice. Louis wanted to touch Harry like that again, and he hated that whatever insecurities the boy had was blocking him from letting him get close to him.

He tried to talk to him, knocking on his bedroom door, following him around the farm, he even tried nudging him to get his attention, but they were only met by sharp glares in return from a reluctant Harry. Even Gemma tried talking to him, she really did, but she was no more successful than he was, and Louis concurred that he should let Harry stew a bit. He didn't want him thinking he was an obsessed teen who stopped at nothing like in those LMN movies. If Louis were Harry, he would most likely be scared of him too, so he backed off.

He took an opportunity to add Niall back to the group chat and catch up with everyone, telling them about everything that happened with Harry since their last chat. Popping up right after he was added, Niall said hi to everyone and proceeded to chat about his girlfriend and Harry. He also directly messaged Louis that he was going to invite Harry over to spend the entire day tomorrow to catch up and talk, which Louis was relieved, anxious, and concerned about. Harry and Niall had a lot to talk about and he hoped Harry would be alright by the time they finished talking. He texted Niall back telling him about what happened Sunday night and that Harry was in a bad mood, Niall then told him that it was a good thing for Harry to spend the day with him and get away from the farm a bit. Louis agreed and asked Niall's assurance that he'd call him and let him know how their it goes, which Niall promised to comply.

Louis also talked with Liam about what happened as well, while Murrey and his uncle John worked on building the gazebo, and he too deduced that it was best to give the boy some space.

The only time Louis and Harry exchanged words during that day was when Aiden had invited himself over for lunch and didn't want to leave. Anne had made some tea later that afternoon and was more than 'happy' to allow him to remain, since he had the charges against Cord immediately dropped that morning as promised. Anne made sure to tell Louis out of Aiden's earshot that she still didn't trust him, a sentiment Louis shared as well. She told him to keep an eye on him while she went to help Cord, who wanted nothing to do with Aiden- charges or no charges- groom the horses out back.

Gemma and Aiden had been sitting on the couch watching Family Feud on television, while Harry sat on the love-seat. As they sat sipping the afternoon tea, Louis, who settled himself on the single chair next to the couch, glanced at Harry, and his foot started throbbing again. The painkillers he took earlier had worn out, plus he was feeling down because of Harry's rejection. Harry had made eye contact with Louis and mouthed 'I'm sorry!' with a genuine sorry face, and Louis, knowing he was referring to his wounded foot, stared back blankly at him, but still ended up mouthing back a heart wrenching 'I love you,' causing Harry's eyes to widen as he turned back to the television.
