Seventeen

I quickly snap out, and I come back to reality. Harry grabs his things and walks out. Louis slowly starts to stand up and Liam helps him.

"Take care of Louis. I need to..." I don't finish my sentence because I know that waisting my time with talking is not what I need right now. I chase after Harry. When I open the door to the coffee shop, I look around to see Harry getting inside his car.

"Harry wait." I never knew that those words would ever come out of my mouth. I also never knew that I would be chasing after Harry one day. He tries to get inside the car, but I stop him.

"Harry listen..."

"What. Are you trying to get back at me or what?" His voice starts to get louder, and I look around to see if anyone is near.

"No I just wanted to say Im sorry. Im sorry for Louis and Liam to distract you from you doing your work. And embarrassing you like that." He doesn't believe me, I can see it in his eyes. His curly hair is covering his eyes, making it hard to know if he's looking at me.

"Well your friend there deserved it. And so does that Liam guy." Harry starts to close the door to his car, but I stop him again. I open my mouth to say something, but I chose not to.

"What?" His vein from his neck starts to slowly form a bump on his skin. But you can't see it that much because of all the tattoos that are covering it on his neck.

"Nothing." I start to walk away, and the only thing that you can hear are the heels of my shoe hitting the cobble stone side walk. I get in the coffee shop, noticing that Louis has a ice pack on his jaw. He deserves it a little, but in the same time he doesn't. I sit next to him, and I cross my leg one on top of the other one. I stare at him without saying a word, because there's nothing to tell him. He just stays there rubbing the icepack against his jaw. He doesn't look like he's in pain, but in the other hand he's trying to look tough.

"Why?" The word comes out of my mouth smooth and slow. He doesn't look at me, he has a look on his face like if he knows something. He takes a deep breath before looking at Liam. Liam nods and I just stare at them with a puzzled look.

"There is something I have been wanting to tell you for a long time. But I never said it because I know that it would change everything." He's starting to scare me, and I can feel goosebumps forming in my skin. I start to move uncomfortably in my chair, and its starting to really annoy me. He puts the icepack down, and looks at me straight in the eye.

"I have feelings for you. I never wanted you to ever hang out with Harry because all he does to you is hurt you. And Im sorry for the other things." My body goes numb. I can't feel it anymore. Its like being so scared and you just completely shutdown. I love Louis, but as a friend, not as the way that he feels for me. I really don't know what to say, but if I stay quiet it will be the wrong thing to do.

"Louis..." I start to speak while standing up. I don't know how to tell him that I don't feel the same without tearing his heart in half. I start to feel a pain in my chest. Its a type of pain that you know that your going to hurt someone and there is no way to get out of it. I take a deep breath, and I close my eyes for a second before opening them. I look at him into the eyes, so that he can see through me.

"Louis I'm sorry. I like you as a friend. Please understand that." Tears start to form in my eyes, and a drop starts to roll down my cheek. I never hurt anyone this much in my life. I try to suck my tears in, but its no use. He already knows how I feel. I quickly walk out, and I bump into someone. I look up and its Aaron.

"What happened?" His face looks worried but I ignore him.

"I need to go." I pull myself out of his grip, and I start to run. My house isn't far away anyways. Every step that I take, tears start to fall more and more. Some people don't cry when they tell someone that they don't love them, but he's my best friend. And the way he looked at me, he looked at me like if he saw his life being destroyed little by little. That type of look is a thing that you never, and I mean ever want to see. Especially coming from someone that you care.

I start to run faster, until I get to my street. I see Melissa in the driveway talking to someone on the phone. When she see's me she hangs up.

"Oh my gosh! What happened to you?" She starts to walk towards me but I run past her, and into the house. I quickly go up the stairs, taking two steps at a time. My mom notices me, and says the same thing that Melissa said. I ignore her, and I go to my room. When I'm in I lock the door. I go on my bed and I pull the covers over me. Tears are still falling down but not as much as they were before. Im feeling like this because I saw the person that I really care getting their heart ripped out of their body. And the way that he told me that he loves me shows me that I made it heart worst then it should have. And I know how Louis is feeling right now because I once felt that feeling before.
