I sighed once I finally heard that Harry and Niall both stopped crying. I don’t know what happened but my heart went out to both of them. I stirred the milk into my coffee before taking a sip to see if I needed to add anymore. I quietly made my way back to Liam’s room to see him cuddle up on the bed watching some morning cartoons.
“What ya watching babe?” I asked as I put the coffee cup on his bedside table and scooted in next to him.
He re-positioned himself so he was laying on my chest and reached over to grab my coffee.
“I don’t know, it was just on and I decided to watch it.” he shrugged, taking a sip of my coffee.
He grimaced a bit before putting it into my hands.
“Needs more milk.” he said, sticking his tongue out.
“Really, I thought it was fine.” I said, a small smile playing on my lips before I leaned down and kissed his forehead.
“I love you, you boob.” Liam sighed.
“Did you just call me a boob?” I asked.
“Yes, you boob.”
“You are such a dork.” I said as I smiled fondly at him.
“Better than being a boob.” he stuck his tongue out at me.
“You’re such a dork.” I said pecking his lips softly.
“A dork who you love.” he said.
“You’re not wrong there.”
Liam focused on the tv and after about two more episodes before he began fidgeting. He pressed his lips to my neck, sucking gently.
“Li.” I moaned.
I felt him smirk against my neck before he swiped his tongue across my jugular.
“Liam you’re going to leave a mark.” I whined.
“Do you really care?” he asked trailing his kisses up to my lips and pecking them.
I ran my fingers through his hair and he smiled at me.
“Only because I can’t cover it up. If you’re going to give me a hickey at least give me one on my chest.” I said with a smirk before kissing him.
After we broke apart he rubbed our noses together before straddling my waist and giving me an awkward hug.
“We should go to the beach!” he whispered excitedly.
“I can call up Louis, and we can take Niall and Harry. I think they both need it.” I said and he nodded.
After another half an hour of just laying with each other I got up and knocked on Niall’s door.
“Come in.” He called out quietly.
Harry and Niall sat cross legged on his bed with the radio on which was playing softly. It was obvious they had been having a moment whether it was bad or good I feel a bit guilty about ruining it.
“Liam and I were wondering if you’d like to go on a trip to the beach with us?” I asked.
Harry looked a bit uneasy and Niall smiled.
“Yeah we would love to.” Niall answered trying to make the best out of the situation.
“Also Louis might be coming Haz.” I said with a wink.
Before I closed the door I saw a blush on Harry’s cheeks which made me laugh. Even though this day started off not in the right way I think we could manage to turn it around.
*L o u i s*
I parked my car in the all so familiar drive way. It was almost like a second home, but not so much since I’ve been with Harry all the time. I sighed and walked up to the door, knocking hoping she wouldn’t be home. Eleanor opened the door, her belly looking bigger than I would ever imagine seeing it. She smiled sweetly before inviting me in. Her apartment looked the same as it did the last time I was here except there was a few new pictures instead, of her and a man. They were obviously recent due to her stomach bulging out a bit in every picture.
“Would you like some tea Lou?” she asked from the kitchen. I could hear the sound of clinking silver wear against cups as she made herself a cup of tea.
“Yeah sure.” I looked at the next picture and the guy had his hands wrapped around her stomach.
“His name is Tim.” she handed me the warm cup and took a sip of hers.
“I actually invited you over because of him. You want to sit down on the couch?” she asked.
I followed her and sat down across from her on the love seat.
“You guys look like a lovely couple.” I commented.
She blushed and looked down at her tea.
“Yeah he’s been good for me.” she smiled.
An awkward silence fell over us and I shifted around trying to make myself comfortable.
“The reason I called you here was to apologize. What I did was completely wrong and I was hoping you would be able to forgive me. ” she had such a hopeful look in her eyes.
Honestly with Harry, I hadn’t even felt the pain of Eleanor cheating on me and then lying to me. Harry made this whole situation better and to be honest I was glad that Eleanor moved on.
“Yeah I think I can do that El.” I said and she smiled.
“Thank you so much!” she hugged me.
“Well I just came over for a quick visit I have a beach date to get to.” I said looking at the text from Zayn.
“Alright I’ll let you go. Just promise me you’ll bring Harry around so I can meet him.”
I agreed as she walked me to the front door. She gave me on last hug before I began driving home. That experience was odd, but a bit refreshing and honestly that could’ve a lot worse.
*Z a y n*
The beach looked so lovely today. The waves were the perfect height, the water wasn’t ice cold, and Liam was shirtless. Harry watched Niall run straight into a wave before laughing at him.
“Hey sorry I’m late.” Lou said as he sat down next to me.
“Where were you?” I asked.
“Eleanor called me over.”
I gave him a look and he sighed before he started talking.
“Zayn we just talked and she told me about her new boyfriend.”
“So there’s nothing going on between you two still? Just a simple conversation?” I asked.
“Yeah, she also wants to meet Harry.” he said happily.
“Speaking of Harry, when are you going to ask him to be your boyfriend?”
He shrugged his shoulders and cast his gaze towards Harry who was now trying to bury Niall in the sand.
“It’s weird Zayn, we’ve only been on one date and I feel like I’ve known him for years. When in reality it’s been about five months. It’s weird right?” he glanced down at me but only for a second.
“No, I don’t really think so. Maybe it’s because Liam makes me feel that way. Sometimes I feel like I rushed him into this relationship, I mean I already told him I loved him.” I said with a shrug of my shoulders.
“Oh my god, really? Did he say it back?” Louis asked.
I blushed and nodded.
“I actually said it when I was in the hospital. The near death experience knocked some sense into me.” I said proudly.
“Speaking of the hospital, have you gone back yet?” he asked quietly.
“I have, it turns out the aneurysm was due to heavy stress.” I stated.
“Zayn, what about that other stuff? Why didn’tyou tell me?” he demanded softly.
I ran my hand through my hair, messing it up a bit before looking at Louis.
“Do you really think at the beach is an appropriate time to have a heart to heart Lou?” I chuckled nervously.
“Stop trying to change the subject Zayn.”
“It was just a bad time. Liam left because of an argument I caused, I just felt so low and worthless. Trying to get through the day seemed like my hardest task.” I answered truthfully.
“I just wish you would’ve told me. So I could’ve tried to help you sooner.” Louis said sadly.
“Look it happened and its in the past. We should get over it and go swim with our boyfriends.” I said standing up and extending my hand out to him.
“Harry is not my boyfriend.” he grumbled.
“Sure.” I said rolling my eyes before heading towards the water.
*L o u i s*
“He’s not.” I muttered to myself as I brushed of the sand on my swimming trunks.
I saw Harry’s eyes light up once he saw me heading towards the water and just the look on his face made me smile. He ran up to me and pecked my lips which honestly left me a bit shocked but I didn’t say anything. He wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a quick hug.
“This sounds really stupid because we just saw each other like an hour ago, but I really wanted to say that I missed you.” He said happily.
“I missed you too Haz.”
“I’m gonna go get back to un-bury Niall, he’s freaking out because he kinda can’t breathe.” He looked at Niall and I laughed slightly.
“Come join me in the water once you’re done, yeah?” I asked and he nodded before running off to Niall.
I dived into the water trying to get used to the cool stinging sensation before surfacing and rubbing my hands over my arms, hoping to warm them up. I felt the small waves hit my back and soon my body became accustom to the water.
“You look freezing.” Harry said, scaring the crap out of me.
“Hey are you okay?” he asked, chuckling slightly.
“You scared me.” I said slapping his chest lightly.
“Aw, I’m sorry.” he said with a pout.
“Maybe a kiss would help?” he asked and I gulped.
He pressed his forehead to mine and rubbed his nose against mine. I felt my breath hitch as his lips neared mine. He quickly pressed his lips to mine before dunking me under water. When I resurfaced I glared at him and he laughed.
“You are such a dork.” I muttered.
“Yeah but I’m your dork.”
