Fighting For Love

Chapter 7

Niall's POV

I stared awkwardly at my toes, feeling the heat radiating off my cheeks and my fingers trembling slightly. Louis' icy gaze was literally cutting right through my soul and I was seriously freaking out.
"Well... " I stuttered, Think Niall!! Think! What's a good excuse? Food? I thought to myself franticly.

"I got hungry and there's no food in the boys apartments and we haven't seen you two in a while so I thought we could come ummmm here... " I babbled nervously, hoping no one could see through my lies. The room again feel silent. Damn they didn't believe me!

"Umm.. Well what have you two been up to?" Liam said in an attempt to break the silence.
Louis and Harry stood awkwardly, giving each other a smirk. A smirk I know very well. "Damn I missed it again" I grumbled to myself, annoyed that Zayn and Liam's attempts of following me here had made me miss another Larry sex marathon.

Zayn cleared his throat awkwardly bringing me back to earth.Everyone was again looking at me expectingly
"what?" I asked.
"So how exactly did you get in our house?" Louis asked. "Well I used the key of course" I piped in. "What key" Louis demanded. "You know, the one Harry gave me"
He gave me a blank stare before switching his attention to Harry. "Harold is there something your not....."
"No No No!" I stopped him "Harry gave me the key when I stayed with you after my knee operation."
"Oh" he replied. "Seriously Lou you didn't think that I would...." Harry grumbled. "Anybody wan't to watch a movie or something" suggested Zayn trying to break the tension that was begging to fill the room.
"Yeah, movie" Harry trailed off obviously annoyed at Louis. "Come on Haz, we'll let you pick" I grinned at him, trying to lighten the mood.
We all jumped onto the three seater couch, which was a bit squishy for five boys but by now we were use to it. Harry grabbed a movie from the cabinet next to the TV and started the movie, before returning to his spot on the couch cuddled up next to Louis.
As the movie began I watched Louis snuggle into Harry, as if to reassure him that he never meant the idea of Harry and I too float around in his head. "I'm sorry" I heard him whisper softly into Harry's ear. "I know, I'm sorry too Lou.. I should of discussed it with you..." Harry whispered back. Harry put his arm around his boyfriends small frame and as he did so, took the opportunity to give him a little kiss on the forehead. I smiled in content, loving to see them in love. I hated disputes, especially between my two friends and favourite couple. To see them so happy together made me happy, not only because they were in love but also because they made some awesome sex tapes which I 'accidentally' may have watched. Who am I kidding, I am a bad person, but I mean well. I snuck a glance at the two lovers, who were intwined on the couch next to me. Louis was whispering something in Harry's ear, which in return Harry giggled. They looked so cute.

I directed my attention back to the movie, hoping they didn't notice me staring in their direction.

We were about halfway through the movie when I heard a phones text tone sound next to me. All five of us stuck our hands in our pockets and checked our phones. "Ha it was me lads" said Louis, unlocking his phone. "Oh" he said, the colour running out of his face. "Mmmm who is it" grumbled Harry, who I noticed was snuggled close into Louis chest. "I gotta go" Louis replied, standing up and disrupting our positions on the couch. "Wait what" said Harry, who was now sitting up rigidly and grabbing for Louis hand. "It's management, I have...... a 'date'"Louis grumbled putting an emphasis on the word date."But Lou.." Harry whined. "Haz you know I have to ...." Harry turned his head away from Louis, as if to say he had had enough. "Harry...." Louis said, his voice tinged with annoyance. Zayn, Liam and I watched this argument play out, much like you would watch a tennis match.
"Harry don't be like this, you know what has to be done has to be done" Liam said, sideing with Louis. "What!" I yelled. "You two shouldn't have to do this." I felt tension pulse through the room, I probably shouldn't have spoke up. "I... I have to go" said Louis, shooting Harry an apologetic look before heading out the door.

I turned my head just in time to see Harry stand up and walk up the stares sulkily. "Haz" Liam called. "Forget it Li, even you can't fix this" Zayn sighed. So we turned our attention back to the movie, which didn't seem nearly as enjoyable as it did before with the two vacant spots on the couch next to us.
