Chapter 6: Trouble in Love

"This - ... You can't be serious," Harry breathes out shakily, his heart pounding loudly in his chest as he stares at Liam in pure shock. "Are you?"

"Oh, I am."

“But, I mean, I - I'm so confused right now. I thought, well, I never thought you'd like me back. Then there's Louis, who's so  into you, yet you don't even know it. Like, what ? You can't just say something like this to me and expect me to actually say something back that could ever be close to that. I could never say anything like that – "

Liam suddenly grabs Harry’s hand to stop him from talking, squeezing it lightly with a confused expression on his face. “Hang on. What did you just say about Louis? He – he likes  me?”

“Oh god. Did I say that? Just – You can’t  know from me, Liam. I didn’t mean to tell you! Louis will for sure  kill me now.”

“So he does  like me?”

“Wait. You knew?” Harry asks, still not pulling his hand away from Liam’s.

“Well, I mean, he’s always been kinda clingy since we met years ago, but I always thought he was like that. I mean, he is  Louis, so… I never really thought about him like that,” Liam admits more to himself, not looking at Harry anymore, which only makes the curly-haired lad worry about what Liam is saying. “No wonder he’s always said all those things about my arms and body; especially after I work out. And he always wants to be around me - … I should go talk to him. But don’t worry. I won’t tell him you told me.”

Then he just leaves the room, leaving Harry on his own yet again. What a déjà vu, the green-eyed lad thinks, frowning as he continues to stare at the door, hoping that Liam would return and forget about talking to Louis right now.

We were actually having a moment, then I had to mess up and mention how Louis felt about Liam.

It’s just my luck that Liam would finally realize and talk to him about it after he just admitted his feelings for ME.

Why couldn’t I just keep my mouth shut?  he scolds himself, falling back on the bed, then immediately regretting it when he remembers how much pain he’s still in.

But knowing what Liam and Louis are talking about now only makes his heart ache.

It may just hurt more than how he was feeling before.

THAT NIGHT…

Ever since Liam left to talk to Louis, Harry hasn’t seen either of them for the rest of the day. And that only makes Harry worry even more.

Currently, he’s eating dinner with Niall and Zayn, although he doesn’t really have the appetite to do so. He just pushes the food around his plate, letting out obvious loud sighs of how upset he’s feeling. Niall and Zayn have noticed, but weren’t very sure whether they should or even could  ask.

But it’s starting to get annoying, so they drop their utensils and look at Harry.

“Something wrong, Harry?” Niall questions slowly.

“I don’t really know,” the curly-haired lad responds, pushing his plate away and laying his head on his arms on the table.

“Then why are you sighing so much?” Zayn demands, already getting frustrated with the way Harry’s acting. “No one sighs that much. Just spit it out, Styles.”
