chapter 12: on our way

Louis pov:

Niall and I were currently on a plane on our way to Wisconsin. Liam and Zayn stayed back because we didn't want there to be so many of us so Harry wouldn't feel forced or anything. We obviously want him to come back with us but on his own terms. Niall was sitting in the window seat and I was sitting in the aisle seat. I looked at Niall and noticed he was fidgeting with the seat belt anxiously. "Niall, are you okay mate?" I asked him. He turned to look at me and I could see the worriedness in his eyes. He nodded "Y-yeah, just nervous. Even if we tell him that we forgave him, what if he doesn't forgive himself?" He asked me. I sighed. "He can't beat himself up forever. It's not his fault." I told him, Niall nodded looking down. "That's not all that was on your mind was it?" I asked him curiously knowing he was thinking about something else. "I know Noelle and I made up, but what if when we get Harry back she realizes she wants to be with him." He said looking down. I didn't know how to respond because I knew he was right. Noelle hasn't made a decision yet and there was a possibility she could still choose Harry. "Let's not think about her right now, let's focus on Harry." He nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he's the top priority right now... but I think I'm gonna order a drink." He said looking for the flight attendant.

Niall fell asleep after his first drink which left me alone and bored. I had my headphones in listening to Red Hot Chili Peppers, one of my favorite bands. All that was on my mind was Harry and what I would say to him when we saw him. I still had no clue what I'd say, but I know in the moment It'll come to me. Before I knew it my eyes slowly closed and I joined Niall asleep beside him.

Not too long after, we arrived at the airport in Wyoming. "Louis? Lou, we're here!" Niall said shaking me. I opened my eyes slowly to see him in my view. "The seat belt light is on." He said pointing up at the light. I nodded as I followed the rules buckling my seat belt then rubbing my eyes to wake myself up. "Are we landing?" I asked Niall who was staring out the window. He nodded in response. I don't understand how people can just look out the plane window when in the air. I get really bad airplane sickness so I would've vomited. I closed my eyes as I felt the plane land. The seat belt light turned off and people began to stand up to get their bags. Niall and I waited a bit till the aisle cleared before standing up to get our stuff. Once it cleared, I stood up to grab our bags and handing Niall his. Then we headed towards the exit.

Once we got off the plane we exited the building to get a taxi. "So- uh Lou, do you know where we're going...?" Niall asked me which made me realize I had no idea where to go. I didn't plan it this far. "Um... not sure actually" I replied before going on my phone to message Harry. I didn't think he'd tell me where he was but maybe if he realized we cared and were coming after him then he'd come back with us.

"I got his address," I told Niall who was super confused but didn't question it. The two of us got in a cab and gave the driver the address. "What do I say to him when we see him," Niall asked worriedly. "Tell him you forgive him and love him and that nothing will get in the way of your friendship especially a girl," I explained and he nodded. "You think that will work." He asked again. I sighed "It has to work." I answered. "And what if it doesn't." Niall questioned. I shook my head "It has to."

We arrived at the motel Harry was staying at. It was a very bright orange color and old fashion signs and bright orange and blue sign that said 'Wyoming Hotel'. We went into the office and to the front desk. "Hi, Luv, what room is Harry Styles staying in. I asked the young girl who looked to be in her late 20s that was sitting at the desk. "H- Hi I- um... Room 12." She said with absolute starstruck eyes staring at Niall and me. "Thank you." I smiled and we exited the office. We finally found Room 12. The two of us took a deep breath before hesitantly knocking. I looked over at Niall who looked nervous out of his mind.

The door opened to reveal Harry. He was wearing a sweatshirt and a pair of Adidas that I had gotten him last Christmas. "H-Hey Harry." Niall stuttered. Harry didn't respond, he just looked between us two. "Can we come in lad?" I asked. He nodded not saying a word but opening the door for us to enter. The room had a small bed and a small couch with a tv pointing toward both. Niall and I sat down on the couch as we waited for Harry to close the door and sit across from us. Once he sat, the three of us sat in silence for a moment before I broke the silence. "Are you okay, Harry?" I asked him. He looked down at his hands. "Yeah... I'm ok." He said quietly. "You could tell us if you weren't okay... You know that right?" I spoke again. He nodded looking between Niall and I. "Harry, no one is mad at you. We all forgive you... Including me... We love you Harry and we want you to come back with us, please." Niall spoke causing Harry to look up at him. "You're not mad?" Harry asked.  We both shook our heads. "And Noelle?..." He asked again. I looked at Niall who seemed unable to respond, I turned back to Harry. "She isn't mad, she's just... conflicted with things right now. She likes you both and she doesn't want to hurt either of you. So if she chooses one of you or neither of you... we all need to respect her decision, okay?" They both nodded in response. "So... H? Will you come home?" I asked softly. He nodded. "Yeah Lou, I'll come home." He said before I got up to hug him and encouraged Niall to join.
