When we met

Chapter 10

Harry's P.O.V.

I sat at the breakfast bar of my apartment, staring at my phone intensely praying for a phone call or text message from Louis, but he hasn't spoken to me since Monday when he was late for work. Niall and Liam were here for our usually Wednesday night and kept trying to reassure me that everything was fine, but clearly things weren't. I knew he was okay so I was more panicking that I had done something wrong. I don't know what I could've done though. We had such an amazing day on Sunday and another on Monday even though he was late. We even had our first kiss. Maybe that was it. Maybe that was it. Maybe he was nervous to talk to me after the kiss. Or maybe he was angry at me that I made him tell me about the gun. Hopefully it was the first one. I would rather him be nervous that angry.

"Harry you're missing most the movie," Niall said, "Everything is fine. He's probably just been busy." I nodded, 'Yeah. Yeah you're probably right." I made my way over and sat diagonal from them on the love seat. "He wouldn't be mad at you after your first kiss." Liam added offering me a little bit of comfort, "He's crazy about you." He reached over and patted my knee. "I know. I am too. It's just... what if I did do something wrong?" Niall asked, "What could you have done wrong?" I couldn't tell them about the fun and Gavin. It wasn't mine to tell and Louis specifically told me not to tell Niall and Liam. I shrugged my shoulders, "I dunno. I'm probably just over thinking it." "Well watch the movie," Niall said, "It'll get your mind off him." I mustered up a small smile before going back to our movie.

Things mostly certainly weren't fine. Come Friday Louis still hadn't talked to me regardless of all my phone calls and text messages. Even if he was busy with Mr. Deakin's firm, he would never ignore me like this. I was determined to make him talk to me during Mr Deakin's weekly dinner, even if I had to drag him out of the dining room by his ear. The five of us were standing in our usual line, greeting the members of the firm as they walked in.

"Someone looks excited to see Louis." Leigh-Anne whispered as she nudged me. "Yeah excited to yell at him." I could tell she didn't know what to say so she just went quite. At first I was worried I had done something wrong but now I was just annoyed. Louis was acting like a child.

Mr. Deakin walked in last and I craned my neck to try and see Louis, but Perrie shut the doors after Mr. Deakin. I looked around in confusion, thinking he had walked in without me seeing, but his normal seat at his table was empty. I shook my head, half out of anger, but half out of disbelief that he was going to such extreme lengths to ignore me. "Maybe he's sick?" Niall said hopefully but I just gave him a look that told him to shut up. We both knew he wasn't sick. I grumbled before grabbing Mr. Deakin's normal wine bottle and making my way over to the table.

"Good evening." I said bitterly. "Ah hello Styles!" Mr. Deakin said without even looking at me. I began pouring the wine. "Will Louis be joining us tonight?" He looked up at me in surprisement. "That's Mr. Tomlinson to you Styles. And no, he didn't want to come tonight." He took a sip of his wine, unaware of how tightly I was gripping onto the bottle. Louis chose not to come tonight. He's without a doubt ignoring me.

"Louis! Louis! I know you're home open the damn door!" I continued to bang on Louis' front door after leaving the restaurant from Mr. Deakin's party. Before I was just annoyed, but now I was nothing short of angry. I stopped banging on the door so I could go over to the window to peer in, but before I could walk away I heard something behind the door. I subconsciously held my breath so I could listen. I felt my heart sink when I heard sobbing and whimpering. Louis was there... crying. I ran a hand through my hair as I sighed. I've been here for ten minutes yelling and banging on Louis door when he was there the whole time crying. I probably just made everything worse. "Louis I can hear you behind the door." The sobbing immediately stopped. I had a feeling he was still there listening so I continued, "I don't know why you've been ignoring me, but the only thing I can think of is that I did something wrong so... I'm sorry for whatever I did. I don't know whether it's because I made you tell me about Gavin or because of the kiss but either way I'm so sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was make you cry. I like you a lot. It was never my intention to make you cry."
