Forever Faithful

Chapter 4

Chapter 4:

I woke up the next morning late, again, for the studio. Liam was probably just so thrilled about having a another talk with me on how I am so irresponsible and that I need to grow up. I honestly didn’t care. All I wanted to do today was talk to Louis about Caitlyn. He was close to her too. Maybe he knew if she had other feelings towards me. Plus I needed his advice on how to ask her to be my girlfriend.

“Harry, do I even have to say it this time?” Liam said sternly as he glared in my direction. I just rolled my eyes. Liam tends to forget that I can’t change.

A few hours had passed and we all decided that I was time for a lunch break. The other boys took a trip to Nando’s while Louis and I stayed in the studio and ordered in. I told him earlier that I wanted to talk to him later.

“So Harold, what did you want to talk about?” Louis said as he took a bike of his sandwich.

“Caitlyn,” I said.

“About how you are madly in love with her?” He said as he grabbed his heart.

“Um, well,”

“You don’t have to deny it Harry, I can tell that you love her just by the way that you look at her. You get a smile on your face whenever she is mentioned. When you are with her you are beaming. Plus, you treat her so well.”

“Do you think that she feels the same way about me?”

“I don’t know, she’s a little more complex then you are. Little bit harder to read.”

“I’m complex,”

"Yeah, for a teddy bear.”

“Look, that’s not what’s important. Do you think that I should ask her out?”

“Go for it Haz! You have nothing to lose,” Louis encouraged.

“But what if she gets a weirded out  and doesn’t want to be friends anymore because it would be awkward.”

“Harry Styles!” Louis shouted as he jumped off the couch. “You over think things way too much! Now I know I haven’t known Caitlyn nearly as long as you have, but I have known her long enough to know that she wouldn’t end the friendship because you told her how you felt. Girls love it when you tell them the truth! And if she’s as smart as I think she is, she will be deeply in love with you too. Now call her up and ask her to meet you for dinner tonight and ask her to be your girlfriend before all hell breaks loose!”

That was another thing that I loved about Louis, he always knew how to give a good pep talk.

“What’s going on in here with all the shouting?” Liam asked as he and the boys walked back in.

“Just giving little Harry here a good ole pep talk.”

“What for?” Zayn asked.

“Just giving me the confidence to talk to someone.” I noted.

“Who, Caitlyn? Ya going to ask her out yet?” Niall threw in.

“Does everybody know that I like her?” I asked getting up off of the couch.

“Pretty much,” they all chimed in.

“Like her? Try LOVE her bro,” Louis pointed out.

A few minutes later after I texted Caitlyn.

To: My Lovely Caitlyn :)

Hey love, wanna meet up for dinner later? Xx

I had no idea why it was so hard for me to send that! I’ve sent that same exact message to her thousands of times. I must be even more in love with her than I thought. Gladly, a few minutes later I got a text from her saying

From: My Lovely Caitlyn :)

Sure, babe! Sounds great! x

I told her to meet me at my house in a few hours and we’d be on our way. “So I’m guessing that she said yes to the date?” Louis asked me as he up an arm around my shoulders. “You are blushing, love.”

“Yeah she agreed to go out to dinner,” I said with the biggest smile on my face. For once in my life I was worried about what I was going to wear that night.

It was about 7:00 when I got a knock on my front door, knowing that it was Caitlyn. I opened the door and said, “hey beautiful! Ready to go—, “before I could finish I noticed how her eyes were red and puffy, she was obviously crying recently. “Cait, are you ok, love?” I said as I drew her in for a hug.

She took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry, Harry. I’m going to have to cancel on our plans tonight.”

“That’s fine, babe! Do you want to just eat here? I can make some pasta or something—“

She cut me off by saying, “I’m sorry, Harry. I’ve gotta go. I’ll talk to you later.” She gave me a hug and then turned to walk back to her house.

I knew something was wrong. Not only because she was crying, but because that entire time she never once looked me in the eyes and Caitlyn is one of those people that loves eye contact.

I turned to walk back inside, closed the door and let out a big sigh.

“Did she cancel your plans?” My mom asked.

I took a breath and said, “Yeah, yeah she did.” I was trying to hold back a few tears.

“Is everything ok, Harry?” I’m pretty sure that my mom was one of the few people that didn’t know that I was in love.

I lied and said, “Yes mom. Everything’s fine. It was just dinner.” It wasn’t just dinner. It was the dinner that I was going to ask Caitlyn to be my girlfriend. Why did she cancel? I really wanted to know what was going on with her. Why wasn’t she telling me what was wrong? I was going to get to the bottom of this sooner or later.
