Snowed in (1D fanfic)

Chapter 6

Harry pov

I stormed off into the bathroom leaving there gawking faces behind me. I couldn't handle the question Niall had asked; I had thought about saying some other celebrity but I thought that would just make Louis more upset and I didn't want that. Turns out I chose the wrong answer. I locked myself in a cubicle, sat down and started sobbing into my hands. I couldn't deal with this. I had told Louis we would just be friends until I had gained his trust back but I couldn't help myself - not after the kiss. I knew it hadn't meant much to him, but it did to me. Now I had gone and messed it all up, completely ruining any chances of us being friends again. He must hate me for lying to him repeatedly. He must be sick of me. As I was beginning to calm down I heard the door slowly open and Louis' voice called out my name "Haz are you ok? I'm sorry Niall asked that question. If you're worried about me, I'm fine . I'm just a bit surprised." I replied with a tearful "How can you be alright Louis? I broke your trust again, I said we didn't have to be any more than friends but then I had to open my bloody mouth and say something stupid. It's like I just can't help myself. I'm so sorry Louis." I felt really bad, I just kept screwing everything up with Louis. Everytime things were going alright I found some way to fuck it up. Louis gave me a soft smile before saying "Harry, it's fine, seriously I'm flattered" we both laughed. We sat in an uncomfortable silence for a while. I was becoming anxious when he said "I'm sorry Harry, I've not been totally truthful. I asked Niall to ask you that. I just needed to know if you really did still have feelings for me! I was quite sure of how you felt, but I needed to know definitely, I just didn't want to end up hurt again. Now I realise I shouldn't have, and I regret it." I went from feeling shocked to angry immediately. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. After all the shit he has put me through because I legally could not tell him the truth! And besides, that was all to protect him. He was just being selfish and not thinking about me. I was so angry, but I tried to control myself. "I can't believe you, Louis. I have been putting up with your shit for 2 whole fucking years, because I was trying to protect you. That's why I had to lie to you, so you wouldn't get hurt. But now you will just lie to me like that and embarrass me infront of everyone, just because you only think about yourself. Get your head out of your ass and get your act together. You act like a child. Listen to yourself. I don't even know who you are anymore." I hissed before pushing past him and leaving the bathroom. I had to leave. I stormed past the boys and towards the door that I had first headed through hours ago, blissfully unaware of what I was about to walk into. I tried pushing the door again. It was still pretty stuck, but the top was moving, a sign that the snow was melting already. Hopefully I would be able to leave within the next few hours. I went and sat by myself on a separate table. I saw the boys give me nervous glances when they didn't think I was looking. After I saw them rush into the bathroom - presumably to check on Louis - I decided to get some sleep. I used my coat as a pillow on the table and rested my head on it. I was so tired from dealing with this all night. As soon as I shut my eyes I could feel sleep begin to take over my body.

Louis pov

I knew as soon as Niall had asked the question was a mistake - and now Harry was pissed at me, but it was completely understandable. I had been a dick and deserved every single horrible word he had said to me, but it didn't make it any less painful. I thought if I told him now it would make him feel less embarrassed or annoyed with me, but it completely backfired. I knew us trying to be friends would never work, I knew he would never want to talk to me again after being such a dickhead. He was right though I needed to get my head out my ass and think about other people for a change. Worst of all I knew how much it hurt to be betrayed by someone, and for me to do the same thing to someone else was so stupid and selfish. After a while of thinking about the severity of what I'd just done, hating myself for the way I had just treated Harry, the rest of the boys walked in looking very sympathetic. I don't know why they had come to speak to me. It should be Harry they should be checking on. He's the one who had just been humiliated by me. They all looked at all their eyes asking me the same question. What just happened? I stayed silent not knowing how to explain the situation without making myself look like the complete and utter fool I was. After I had thought over what to say to them. I realised that Harry was right, I should be less selfish. So I decided that I would tell them exactly what I had done, straight up, and just have to face the consequences. I looked over towards Niall to see if I could figure out what he was thinking. He looked at me with guilt in his eyes, clearly feeling partly responsible for this whole catastrophe. I couldn't let him think that this was his fault, it was my idea after all I asked him to help me. I spoke quietly and looked down at my feet, "Basically earlier I asked Niall if he could ask Harry who he would date because after we kissed during truth or dare I thought that he might still have feelings for me, and I just had to find out. And I guess you guys know how he reacted when Niall asked him the question, so when I went in to check on him, I couldn't help myself. He was too upset and I couldn't let him suffer like that so I told him that it was me who had told Niall to ask him." I looked up at the boys to see their reaction to what I had just told them. Zayn's and Liam's faces stared in awe at me, Zayn was the first to speak, "Louis mate, that was not the right thing to do. But I'm sure that Harry will understand if you explain everything."
