Torn

Chapter 11

 Later that night at the bonfire we made on the beach, I decided I would pull Louis aside when no one was looking. 

 The perfect moment arose when he excused himself to go find more firewood. Harry was already gone to find a place to use the restroom, so he wouldn't come looking for me.

 I waited for a few minutes after Louis left and then excused myself, saying I wanted to walk.

 Eleanor and Danielle looked at me and winked, thinking I was going to find Harry to fool around. I couldn't help but laugh as they all cracked up at the joke. 

 I quickly took off in the direction Louis had gone, being careful to not make a sound. As I neared where I'd last seen him, I heard voices. Louis and Harry.

 I contemplated heading back to the campfire but what I heard kept me rooted in my place.

 "Lou, I just need to think. You're dating Eleanor. I'm with Skylar. We need to stop this now before we both get even more hurt." Harry's voice was pleading. I inched forward so that I could see them but they couldn't see me. 

 Louis moved toward Harry, his head hung low. "I don't want to lose you, Curly." He said, his voice breaking.

 Harry moved forward and quickly took Lou into his arms. They held each other tightly and sniffled. Were they crying?

 Suddenly, Lou lifted his head and kissed Harry fiercely. I gasped, shocked as Harry deepened the kiss, pulling Louis closer and closer. I turned away, unable to watch it any longer.

 I felt my heart breaking as I walked back toward the fire. Tears formed in my eyes but I refused to let them fall, not wanting to cause a scene.

 I sat down with a fake smile plastered to my face. Everyone seemed to fall for it except Liam who just looked at me thoughtfully. I decided to ignore his sympathetic stares. 

 When Harry and Louis returned, seperately ofcourse, I excused myself saying that I was tired. I hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and grabbed my keys and phone before heading to my car at the very edge of the beach.

 I opened the door quickly, tossing my phone across the seats.

 "Hey! Wait up!" 

 I turned to face Harry who was running toward me, his curls bouncing.

 "You weren't going to say goodbye to me?" He asked, looking hurt. I sighed and tried to swallow the lump that clung in my throat.

 "I said goodbye to you and everyone else before I left." My voice was robotic, emotionless. Harry looked confused.

 "No kiss?" He asked, his voice faltering. 

 This sent me over the edge. How dare he ask me for a kiss after I just caught him snogging Louis' face off only minutes ago. 

 "You want a kiss! You already got your kiss when you were snogging Louis in the bushes!" I nearly shouted. The look on his face was of pure shock.

 "I can explain." He said, holding his arms out toward me. 

 "Just stop it, Harry. Stop." I said, pushing him roughly away from me. "You lied to me." I said, the tears finally falling. "You're a liar." 

 I climbed into my truck and pulled away before he could stop me. The tears were streaming down my face without abandon. Harry Styles had broken my heart.
