More Than This (the bromance of Harry and Louis)

Breaking

Chapter 6

(Loui's POV)

Why was she smiling like that? What did Harry tell her? Could I pretend that I left something inside there, just so I could see what they're doing inside that room right now?

The boys and I were just sitting in the living room. Were they thinking of what might Harry do to Jean? Because I definitely was.

"I'm hungry," Niall said, and nobody was surprised. "I'm gonna eat, anyone wants some?" Liam and Zayn said no, but I wasn't really listening and said nothing. I was too busy thinking about Jean and Harry. Fuck this. I should get myself together! I need some help. I need someone to talk to. Niall was the first guy I thought of. I guess its because he's still single, snd Liam and Zayn already have girlfriends, they won't understand me.

So I followed Niall into the kitchen and saw him bringing out probably everything out of the fridge. I sat by the counter, not knowing how I would ask him about this, when he said, "What's up, mate?"

"Do you think Harry likes Jean?" I blurted out.

He shrugged and said, "Of course, isn't it obvious? And you know Harry, when he starts liking a girl, he gets her, and he gets her fast,"

I felt ice of knives through my heart. He was right. That sounds like something Harry would likely do.

"You like her, don't you? I'm sorry," Niall said, startling me.

"Whhhhat? NO! What are you talking about? Pssshhh of course not! Why'd you thought of that?"

Niall raised an eyebrow on me and I just bowed my head down.

"Why, is it obvious?"

"I've seen all 4 of you with a bunch of girls, I know when you're in love,"

"Do you think Jean likes him too?"

Once again, he shrugged.

"Do you think she likes me?"

"You'll never know, mate, unless you find out for yourself,"

"I don't know if I can, what if he gets mad at me for liking her?"

"I know what you feel, mate. But you gotta choose who you love more; you're best friend or the girl,"

"Vas happening?!" Niall and I jumped. Zayn entered and headed for the fridge, but before opening it, he checked his reflection on the fridge doors first.

"I'll eat in the living room," Niall said, a bit unusual.

"So, did I hear you right, Lou?" said Zayn. "You won't hit on a girl because a guy will get mad at you?"

I didn't reply.

"Wow, you sound like Niall about Lottie," Zayn mumbled beneath his breathe.

"What? Niall and who?!"

"--As I was saying," Zayn said abruptly. "Niall's right. If you really love the girl, you would do absolutely anything for her,"

"Even if you're best mate likes her too?"

Zayn looked at me surprised. And at that moment, I heard a yell coming from Harry's room. Jean!

I ran into the living room, Zayn right on my tail. Niall and Liam were also on their feets. We were all looking at each other, not knowing what was happening.

"That sounded like Jean yelling for Harry," Niall said.

"Let's get in there!" I said. If Harry tries to do anything to Jean, I would fucking rip his face off.

"No!" Liam hissed. "I think Harry's just playing with Jean, you know Harry with girls,"

More reason to stop whatever's happening in there.

"Or, what if ninjas came in and knocked Harry out cold and is probably kidnapping Jean right at this moment?" I said and it pretty much convinced them. Zayn, Niall, and I ran for Harry's room, but Zayn beat me to it. He flung the door wide open and we saw Harry, shirtless, jumping away from Jean. Did they just kissed?

It was like my lungs were closing in, and my heart was in my throat, breaking. I can't look at this. I walked away, breathing deeply, closing my eyes, trying to forget what I just saw. Trying not to feel my heart slowly dropping. I heard the doors close end Liam say, "I told you so." I headed for the kitchen and sat down by the dining table, hands on my face. Fuck. I hate this feeling.

The boys walked in a few minutes later, but I seriously just wanted to be alone right now.

"You alright, mate?" Liam said. They all took a seat around me. "Niall told me about Jean,"

"Thanks," I told Niall, sarcastically.

"Look, mate, you can't trust Harry on this. He's probably just joking with her. They've known each other for years already. Even Jean said Harry was just like an older brother to her,"

"Exactly, they've known each other for years already! And I'm just a guy he met last night! For all we know, she's been in love with him for so long already,"

"You gotta stop saying that to yourself," said Zayn. "Jean seems like a sensible girl. She would know how much a flirt Harry is,"

"What if Harry really does feel something for her? You know how he talks about her all the time, and how he looks lost just thinking about her--"

I stopped and silence fell. I sound like a kid, complaining and everything. But it was true. Harry sounds sincere talking about Jean. And he knows everything about her. How the hell could I compete with that?

"Then I guess you just got to show her how much more you love her," Niall said. "We'll leave you alone to think about it, mate,"

And with that, they all got up from their seats and start to leave the kitchen. But as Niall pats my back and leave, I stopped him and said silently so the others won't hear, "I think you'll be fine for Lottie." He smiled, really embarrassed. "Not just now. Someday, maybe," I added and his smile faded and turned to a smirk. He nodded and hugged me. Niall hugs, I like that.
