"Either you move your foot out of the way, or I slam the door closed on it!"
Louis groans, blinking up groggily at Harry. "Mm, what's going on?"
Harry shrugs his shoulders, perplexed. Eloise is blocking whoever it is that she's arguing with from the boys' view, but from what Harry can tell, Eloise is close to punching the person right in the nose.
"Don't test me," Eloise growls.
A dainty chuckle travels through the room, and Harry's eyes widen in realization. He shoots out of bed, locking himself in the bathroom. Louis, afraid that Harry isn't feeling well, knocks loudly and continuingly asks if he's alright.
He gets no response because, no, he's not alright. He's not fine at all. This cannot be happening. It could screw everything up, and Eloise knows it as well as he does. The thought of Louis being his soulmate has been milling around in his mind ever since Louis came, and this could push it to the side.
"Don't test me," the voice says, and Harry wants to vomit. He has to sit in front of the toilet just in case he does. "Now, let me in. I need to see my Harbear."
"Yeah, not gonna happen, sweetheart."
"I came here for him, not you. Move."
"No! You are not seeing Harry, but you can see my foot going up your ass if you don't leave this second," Eloise says with a fake smile before giving the girl a shove, slamming the door, and locking it.
Jo.
It's Jo. Harry's head is spinning. He can't think straight, can barely even hear Louis' persistent knocking. The most he can do is hit the doorknob in a downward motion until it unlocks, causing Louis to rush in and squat next to him, hugging him tightly.
"Are you okay? What just happened, Harry?"
Eloise is leaning against the door frame, her arms folded against her chest. "I hate that girl more than I hate wet socks."
Louis looks up at her questioningly. "Who?"
She stares at Harry intensely, her eyes nowhere near as nervous as his. Louis can feel the tremble of Harry's fingers against his back, hear the shakiness of his breath. Eloise shakes her head once at her best friend, practically boring holes in his head.
"Uh." Harry swallows dryly, feeling sweat form at the back of his neck. "She's no one. Forget about it."
"Harry," Louis says warningly, "tell me."
Harry looks at her, his facial expression pleading for help, but she just holds up her hands and walks away. He hears the television being turned on moments later.
He can't do this. He can't tell Louis. It will seriously hurt him, hurt their relationship, hurt everything he has with him. Harry has to think quickly.
"Uh, she's just my cousin. We're kind of fighting right now," he says, biting his lip and hoping that Louis buys it.
And Louis does. He nods in understanding and helps Harry to his feet.
"Did you tell him?" Eloise asks when they come out, eyebrows arched.
"Yup," Louis says, smiling at her. "No big deal."
Her expression changes from apprehension to complete bewilderment. "You don't care?"
He shrugs. "Why should I? It doesn't involve me. I'm going to go shower, okay?"
As soon as the water starts running, Eloise jumps off the couch and over to Harry. "What did you tell him?" she hisses.
Harry retells his little lie to her, to which she groans loudly in frustration. They both know that Jo will be back, hopefully not until after Louis leaves the next morning, but back she will be. And she'll be wondering why there was another boy staying with them. And Louis will be wondering what is going on. And Eloise will not be helping Harry out of this one.
He's just dug himself a very deep hole. No amount of snuggling with Louis that entire lazy day will make him forget it because all he can feel is guilt. So much guilt it's weighing him down.
Harry can't wait for this trip to be over with. He thinks that it was actually a very bad idea.
A/N: So this was short af, sorry. Louis leaves the next morning, guys :'(
So, important information: this book will have between 30-45 days (seeing as the trip lasts to 21 days), but I'm already thinking of a sequel because God knows this book is going to need it.
Also, wtaf?! This book only hit 600 reads yesterday and it's hitting 700 today?? Thank you guys so much, you don't understand how much this means to me! Please reccommend it to your friends (if you want, no pressure).
Love you guys and thank you so much! And I have a rough outline of what's going to happen in this book ;)
Dedicated to @skittlelouis
