Summer Love

Chapter 11

Harry's POV

It was a good thing I had Lana's party to look forward too because the last two days have been absolute hell. Louis refused to look at me much less talk to me and every time I passed their group Cassie would give me the death glare. The guilt and sadness I felt the night Louis kissed me was still like a weight on my shoulders. 

I just couldn't believe I had messed things up so bad. If only there was a way to fix everything. 

***********************

When I woke up on Friday morning I sighed in relief. Finally this week was finally over and there was a party tonight to kick start the weekend. I didn't know whether I wanted to see Louis there or not though. Would he be avoiding me all night or dancing with someone else? Or would it be me who ended up making things awkward and ruining the night. I wasn't sure I wanted to know the answer. 

After quickly taking a shower and running a hand through my damp curls to try to make them more orderly, I was out the door with half a banana in my mouth. After doing a quick calculation in my head I decided I could wait five minutes before going in the camp as I would get there early. Even though I wouldn't admit it, the real reason I was waiting in the car was to wait for Louis. He wouldn't talk to me and the handful of times I had tried to catch his eye I always saw his eyes gloss over with a thin sheet of tears. But before I knew it, he would blink them away like it never even happened. 

It broke me seeing how much pain he was in. But I knew that he wouldn't accept my apology. He thought I hated him. Oh, how wrong he was. 

After waiting in my car for ten minutes and still not seeing Louis drive into the parking lot I gave a heavy sigh and got out of my car to walk to the entrance of the camp. After greeting some of the other counselors with whom I was friends I walked down to the lake. I saw the boats already sitting in the water and Lana sitting on the dock while scrolling through her phone. 

"Hey Lana," I said sitting down next to her. She turned off her phone and turned to me. Pressing her lips together she sighed and narrowed her eyes. 

Releasing her lips and widening her eyes more, she opened her mouth. "What's been going on with you lately? You always seem gloomy now and I haven't seen you and Louis together at all this week. Did something happen between you two?" 

I closed my eyes while she was talking and prayed the tears went away so I could look at her properly and tell her what had been bothering me for days. After I felt my vision clear I opened my eyes and saw Lana looking at me with a worried expression. "So um," I said swallowing thickly. "I'm gonna start from the beginning so you know the full story of what happened. On Tuesday night, I was going to drive Louis home cause I brought him to work and he didn't have a car," I said explaining the unimportant detail. "Because you were sick that day I told you I would put the boats away and I checked with Louis and he said that was fine. After doing that I was sitting on the dock watching the sun. He came up behind me and when he didn't sit down I didn't think anything of it and just told him to come sit next to me." I felt my cheeks heating up at the personal details I was about to reveal to Lana. "We just sat there for a couple minutes and then he asked if he could tell me a secret. I of course said yes but when I leaned in his breath kind of caught in his throat and I wanted to check if he was ok so I leaned back to look at him. But when I did he leaned forward and kissed me." At this Lana gave a small smile but didn't say anything and let me continue with the story. 

"I-I was surprised Ana. But at the same time it felt so right. Like his lips were made for mine. They just, fit together like puzzle pieces. But then I had to go and ruin and everything." I looked down and sighed before telling her what had possibly ruined mine and Louis' relationship. "I-I pushed him in the lake,"
