6 Boys and They're All In Love With Me (1D and Justin Bieber Fanfic) *ON HOLD*

Ch. 20 - More Competition

~ Chapter 20: More Competition ~

♣ Harry's POV: ♣

I guess I could safely say I was more scared than angry at this whole situation. Scared that Gabby would be taken away from me, that is. Scared that all my chances will be gone. But mostly scared that she'd be gone. I never thought I'd feel so much jealousy towards Daddy Direction. Of all people, Liam's being mean to me. I wouldn't get so worked up about this if he didn't know. But it hurts... It hurts like hell to know one of my best mates is aware I like a girl, but he's digging in anyway. It shocks me because something like that is beyond Liam's personality. It's all a bit too suspicious.

I now sit in my bed, rubbing my forehead and thinking things over. I'm seriously damaged. One minute I was furious, then I felt fear, and now all I feel is emotional pain. I'm a pretty sensitive guy.. I think most of you know that out there. I felt like crying my eyes out but I knew it wouldn't be appropriate. Sometime I'll have to walk back down there just like I said I would and face my betraying friend and my crush all at the same time. I can't let out one single hint that I've been crying.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Go away!!" I groaned. I don't want to face anyone. Specially not Liam or Gabby. I don't want to talk about it.

"It's me," a very familiar voice called from out the door. I sighed and thought I might as well let him in, if anyone at all. I trust him more than anyone right now.

"Okay fine.." I say, walking towards the locked door and unlocking it. I swung it open to be greeted by my Loubear. As soon as I saw his comforting smiling face, I knew I didn't regret letting him in. For the record, I'm not gay, I obviously like Gabby. But Louis is my best mate ever and I seriously get along with him better than anyone in this world. Ever heard of Larry Stylinson? But seriously, I can tell him literally anything, so I don't think admitting my crush would kill me, would it?

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" Louis spoke, raising an eyebrow. I quietly nodded and made space for him to come inside. He walked in and sat on my bed, patting the spot next to him. I took a deep sigh, shut and re-locked the door and took a seat beside him.

"What?" I asked tiredly.

"Harry.. I'm your friend, I care about you, I want you to know that. I really do want the best for you," he began.

"I know, Lou, I care about you, too," I added, then let him continue.

"Thanks, Haz. But right now, I'm going to ask one simple question. As your best friend, I really hope you answer honestly, I beg of you," he said, his tone turning quite serious.

"O-okay," I gulped. Louis is rarely ever this serious.

"Do you or do you NOT like Gabby?" he came out with it. My eyes widened.

"W-what?" I stuttered.
