Harry’s POV

I was laying on the couch with my arm draped over my eyes. Why do I have to be so stupid? Why am I always the one that messes up? Why can’t I make her happy?

“Hey mate” I moved my arm away from my eyes and saw Louis walk in closing the door behind him. “So did you talk to Ellie?” he asked placing his bag down  next to the door taking off his jacket.

“Yes” I said dryly as he sat down on the other couch.

“And?”

I sat up scowling at him. “ She hates me, what do you think happened Louis? What kind of questions is that!”

He looked at me with a shocked expression. “Ummm…”

I sighed shaking my head. “I’m sorry Louis; I didn’t mean to snap at you. I’m just so mad”

“At Ellie?”

“No, I’m mad at myself it’s like no matter what I do I always mess up. I always have to be the one that does something wrong” I shook my head, placing my elbows on my knees, talking with my hands . “I really fucked up Louis, I wish I was normal, human.”

Louis sighed. “She will get over it Harry.”

“No she won’t!”  I said glaring at him “ She told me to leave her alone and that she doesn’t love me”

“Harry, she will get over it. Mandy was the one that came on to you, let’s not forget about that” Louis said to me in a serious tone.

“I mean I do want to get her back. However, I’m worried about Friday. We were supposed to do a duet together for our music class, it’s our final grade before we graduate. I can’t let her fail because of me”

Louis nodded at me biting on his lower lip. “Okay, let’s just make a plan”

Elizabeth’s POV

I was sitting on the bench outside of my house on the porch crying. It was chilly outside but I didn’t care. Throughout the day the girls have tried to cheer me up and it was so sweet of them to do so. There was a point where nothing worked but I faked a smile for them anyways because they were trying their best.

“Hey Ellie Bellie” I looked up and saw Niall walking up the porch steps wearing black jeans, Nikes, and a black jacket zipped all the way up. He was also carrying a bouquet of flowers in his left hand.

I wiped my tears away with the tips of my fingers and smiled at him. “Hey Niall.” I said as he leaned down and gave me a hug.  “Sit down”

He gave me a small smile and I scooted over so he could sit down next to me. “What are you doing out here in the cold?” I sniffled.

“I could ask you the same question” He said letting out a small chuckle.

“Who are the flowers for? Are you trying to get Molly back?” I asked pointing to the flowers in his hands.

He shook his head smiling down at then. “ Nah, they’re for you” he said looking up at me and handing them to me.

“Aww Niall you didn’t have-“

“I saw what happened between you and Harry earlier” he said apologetically. “I just thought they might cheer you up”

I smiled at him but didn’t say anything. I placed the flowers under my nose to smell them.

“I mean if you don’t like them that’s okay. I just thought maybe they could –“

I laughed. “Niall it’s okay. Thank you, they are lovely” Niall looked at me giving me a crocket smile.

“Let’s go inside and put them in a vase” I said standing up and opened the door and allowed him inside. Niall closed the door behind him and followed me into the kitchen. I took out a vase from under the sink and filled up with water placing the flowers inside it.

“Thank you Niall, you really didn’t have to” I said placing them on the counter. He didn’t say anything and gave me a small shrug.

“Hey Ellie not to stress you out or anything but don’t you have to do a duet for your music class?” Niall asked leaning against the counter crossing his ankles. I nodded.

“ I do and I have no idea what I am going to do.” I sighed shaking my head blinking at few times. “My teacher won’t let me change the song it’s way too late to do that, plus I won’t have enough time to rehearse”

Niall pursed his lips into a line and looked down as if he was thinking. “What if I do it with you?” he asked looking up at me with soft blue eyes.

“Niall, I couldn’t ask  you do do that-“

“What do you mean? I don’t want you to fail.  I’ll help you” He said leaning away from the counter and placed his arm around my shoulder, hugging me. “Besides it’s the least I can do since you tried to cheer me up with the whole Molly thing” I smiled.

“Okay, only if you want to” Niall smiled at me and pulled away.

“Alright then, I better get going it’s late” he said and started walking to the door and I followed him.  “Just text me when you want to meet up to practice”

I nodded at him as he opened the door. “Night Ellie”

“Night” I said and he smiled at me and walked out.
