Simply Beautiful (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter Twenty Two

LIAMS POV

We all waited, including Harry, for Ava to come get us. 

"Why can't we go there now?" Niall whined. Harry's head snapped in Niall's direction. "She told us to wait therefor we will wait." I intervined in their little glare-off. 

"What are we even doing?"

"We are going to have her talk to us." I reasoned with them, I felt incredibly guilty that no one knows that I talked to her before she left over a good month ago. No one needs to know, espically not Harry. He would never forgive me for keeping this from him, he could have talked to her and tried to make her stay instead of me letting her go. 

"What if she doesn't want to talk to us?" Louis added. 

"She's been talking to me and Niall, I don't see why she wouldn't talk to you." I snapped. "You've been talking to her?" Zayn looked over at me. Of course he is the only one who noticed my slight slip in langauge. 

I stayed quietly and patiently waited for her to come. "Answer the question." Louis pushed further on to the topic. "Yes I have been talking to Harry's ex-girlfriend Ava, happy? I have been texting her since the day she left." I let out a frustrated groan. 

"You what?" Harry said angrily. 

There was a light knocking at the door. "Saved by the bells." Louis muttered quietly as he went over to go answer the door. "Hi Ava."

"Hey Louis. May I come in?" 

"Um, sure?" before anything else Ava walked curiously into the room. She took a glance around the room. "Wow I don't think you could even cut the tension in here with a butchers' knife." she commented. "You know us so well." I joked. 

"So you two have kept in contact?" Niall glared at me. 

"Ah, so thats the tension." 

We all sat down, Harry, and Louis were on the two seater couch, Niall, Zayn and I were on the three-seater, and Ava sat alone on the next two seater. It was quite a comfortable fit for all six of us. 

"So, how did we get onto this topic?" she rested her elbow on the side rest and look around the room. 

"We were talking about you-"

"Nice to know I am a topic of interest." 

"Anyways, the lads were complaining on how you would not want to talk with them and I said been, which Zayn caught onto, which really is a normal language error. So I cracked." I shrugged.

"You didn't tell them why?"

"No, I was hoping you could do that for me." I gave her a sheepish smile and shrunk into my seat. 

"So, you boys are hoping for the truth?"

"And nothing but." Harry added.

"It is a long story."

"We have a long period of time." Louis told her.

"Well, after I found Harry and that chick making out-"

"Can we please skip this part?" Harry said weakly. 

"Fine by me. Anyways, I was back at the apartment, I was quickly packing my things I wrote the note and left the bed on the dress-"

"That was the day you left what does that have to do with you and Mister Payne over there keeping in contact?" 

"Do you want to hear the explanation or not?"

"Yes."

"Then shut up."

"Okay." he quietly whispered.
