I'm Yours

Chapter Four

“Liam?” I ask in pure disbelief.

“Why do you sound so surprised?” He smirks.

He stands directly in front of me. Louis is now sitting on the couch, in the next room. When I don’t answer him, he continues.

“You know, I was hoping for a more enthusiastic welcoming. This is just depressing. So tell me Harry, what’s new?” There’s something in his tone that’s almost condescending. Liam walks into the room where Louis is seated and joins him.

“Well don’t just stand there, come on in.” He waves me over.

I am in complete shock. Why is Liam here? Things were going so well too. Hundreds of questions flood my mind, as I force my legs to walk towards Liam. I sit on the couch opposite Liam and Louis. Louis is now flicking through the channels on the TV on the wall.

I take a moment to look around. This house is huge on the inside too. It’s decorated very modernly, with black and white furniture, which I wasn’t expecting because the outside looks pretty vintage. The outside of the house is covered with different shades of red brick. It has huge double front doors and about five steps that lead to them.

“Nice place you’ve got here.” I say as my eyes wander around the room.

“Thanks.” He answers proudly.

We remain silent, with only the sound of the television bouncing off the walls.

Louis changes the channel a few more times before settling on watching Kick Ass 2. He then complains about how poorly the costumes are.

I ignore Louis and pull out my phone to text Zayn. I wonder if he or Niall knew Liam was back. I finish sending my text and when I look up I notice Liam studying me. Before I can say something to him, he speaks.

“I had asked you what was new? I’ve been away for so long, don’t you think I need to be caught up on what’s going on in my best pals life?” He smirks.

I want to cringe when I hear Liam call me his “best pal”. We haven’t been close for a while, even before he disappeared. I decide against answering his question and ask him a few of my own.

“Where have you been? You haven’t contacted me since you left and suddenly I am your “best pal”?” I counter.

Liam looks slightly taken aback by my tone.

“Or I think the important question is why are you suddenly back?” MY anger level is raising and I can’t help but think that the reason Liam is back is because of Kira.

This wouldn’t be the first time Liam has gotten between Kira and I and I refuse for him to do it again.

Liam seems to be enjoying my anger as he sits back in the couch grinning. Louis’ attention is now on us and the movie is paused.

“Why are you so heated Harry? Is there something you need to tell me, that I don’t already know?” Liam snides.

My heart skips a beat in my chest and I suddenly feel nauseous. “What do you already know?” I ask cautiously.

I immediately regret asking when I see a knowing grin spread across his face. “I know that Kira has suddenly reappeared. It seems I’ve been looking in all the wrong places.” Liam stands and walks out of the room.

I take this time to turn to Louis who quickly un pauses the movie, trying to ignore me.

“Louis.”

He doesn’t turn to me, his eyes glued on the television screen. “Shhh! I’m watching this.” He hushes me.

I only take his reaction as confirmation to my thoughts. It was Louis who told Liam about Kira. Why the fuck would he do that?
