One Little Chance

Chapter 11

I sat there, shocked. His body was pushed up against mine, his knees on both sides of me. I was trapped against his body. There was nowhere to go. 

His hands went to the back of my neck, pulling us closer. I didn't have the heart to break Harry nor Liam. It was too much. 

"Just..enjoy...it." He whispers against our lips. 

I still didn't have the heart to kiss him back. Liam was gone for vacation, but I can't just cheat on him. Especially not with my brother's best friend who is my best friend.

"Harry." I say against his lips, trying to push him off me. 

Still no use. He was too determined for me to kiss him back. 

But I couldn't. I bit his underlip which caused him to jump right off of me. 

"You-you bit me!" He screams in pain, holding his lips tighter as he feels the swelling. 

"I-I just can't Hazza. And you know that." I say, bringing in my knees up to my chin so I was formed as a little ball. 

"Crystal, I-I'm so so sorry. I-I'll just..." Harry replies, pointing at the door. 

"No. Just...just stay Haz. Our friendship isn't over. I promise you." I say, grabbing his hands before he left. 

"But-"

"Hazza!!" I whined as he sighed in fustration. 

"Fine. You're just lucky that I love you too much to let it all go." 

"And I love you too." I smiled at him as he sat next to me.

Liam came back the day after the incident. The only person that knew other than Harry and I is my brother. God damn, I'm just hoping he doesn't have such a big mouth when he seees Liam.

"Leeyum!" I scream as I flung my arms around my boyfriend.

"Gosh I've missed you!" He says, kissing my temple roughly. 

"And I've missed you too." I smiled, giving him a light peck on the lips. 

"So, what's new?" He asks, placing his arm around my shoulder as we walked around the school hallways.

"Nothing major. Just the tests are coming up and that I'm terribly stressed out about it."

"You have nothing to be worried about Crissy. I know my little angel will do just perfect on it." He replies, laughing as he held me tighter around his waist. 

"I'll see you later then." He finally says as he lets me go into 3 period. 

"Love you." I hear him whisper. 

I smiled at him as I walked to class, unable to say it back.

Liam and I walked out of school and into the park of Leenoter. We sat down at a nearby bench and talked. 

"You know I really love you." He says out of context, playing around with my fingers. 

"I love you too." I say, my breath still hitched and dry. 

"Really? Cause I thought you didn't." Liam says, sighing in a relievedly manner. 

He leaned in closer, but I stopped him midway.

"Liam, I need to be honest with you." I say, trying to build up my courage on telling him. 

"Which is?" He asks, his eyebrows ceasing in confusion and a pinch of worriedness. 

"Harry kissed me while you were gone in vacation." I say in a little whisper, yet audible for him to hear. 

"W-what?" He asks, his hands rummaging through his hair. 

"Liam, let me explian-"

"No!" He screams. "What is there to explain Crystal?! You kissed Harry while I was away! Is it cause he's better looking than me, or is it cause you've had feelings for him the whole time and you've been trying to get him to be jealous of me!?" 

"Liam!" I scream, standing up so I was able to look at him right at the eye. "I've only loved you. That the damn truth! Harry is just my bestfriend!" 

"And I was just your beard!" He screams. 

I tried to grab one of his hands, but he pulled it away. 

"No Crystal! Don't! I'm done with this bullshit!" He screams, walking away from me. 

"So, it's over!? Just like that!? And when I didn't even kiss him back?!" I scream after him. 

He turned around, an unusual flame hidding behind his hurt and watery eyes. 

"It's over!" He screams in tears, running away.
