Taken

Chapter 25: I'm Gonna Make You Mine

--Harry's P.O.V--

Amberlynn disconnected the video chat. Liam closed the laptop, and looked at the two boys sitting in front of us. They had been sitting there the whole time, not saying a word. They just quietly listened. Both of them looked like they were about to die before they heard her voice.

Louis was grinning, and niall's eyes seemed to have a fire in them again. Silently, Niall got up and left the room. The four of us looked at each other.

"Do you think she still hates me?" Louis asked. I frowned.

"Boobear. You heard her. She doesn't hate you."

"She's still upset with me." He said, looking down sadly.

"Just give her time, lad." Liam said. "She'll come around." Louis smiled sadly, and climbed ot his feet, before walking out of the room.

"Well," Zayn said. "That went well."

"It did, actually." I said. "She's coming back. It didn't take much persuasion. She could have refused, or we could have had to beg her more, but we didn't. She wants to come back. That's why she agreed so quickly." I stopped talking, the unspoken words hanging in the air. She's coming back because she loves Niall.

"What do you think is gonna happen when she comes back?" Zayn asked.

"I don't know," Liam said. "I hope he tells her."

"Me too. They can't go on like this. With them liking each other, and only one of them knowing it... it's going to destroy their friendship." I said.

"I'm afraid it's going to destroy their friendship if they get together." Zayn said. "If they break up, they won't be friends again. Friendship often ends in love, but love never ends in friendship." I shook my head.

"They are perfect for each other. If they get together, they'll stay together." I said.

"Niall wouldn't let their friendship be destroyed if something happens and they break up." Liam said.

"They aren't going to break up." I said.

"You guys are talking like they're together." Zayn commented.

"They will be." Liam and I stated at the same time. Zayn looked at us for a second before standing up.

"Whatever. I'm gonna go take a nap." He said as he moved towards the stairs.

"You just woke up!" Liam exclaimed. I laughed as Zayn shrugged, and moved up the stairs. Liam sighed, and picked the remote up off the table, switching the television on. I looked out the sliding glass door, into the backyard, to see Louis pushing a soccer ball around with his feet. I didn't see him come back into the room, so he must have taken a different way.

"I'm gonna go kick the ball around with Lou." I said, getting to my feet. Liam nodded, and I walked over to the sliding glass door. I opened it, and stepped through, shutting it back behind me.

"Hey, Boo." I said quietly as I watched him push the ball around. He gave a halfhearted wave. "Are you okay?" He shrugged, and passed the ball to me. I dribbled it a bit, and passed it back. "Boo, you should be happy. She's coming back."

"I know she's coming back, and I'm happy about that, but-" He passed the ball to me again. "It hurts because I know she won't talk to me. She hates me."

"Louis, no. She doesn't hate you. I already told you that! You heard her say herself that she doesn't hate you!"

"I shouldn't have told Niall."

"Don't say that, Louis. Niall knows the truth. They both love each other. Niall deserved to know. Because of you, they can finally be together." He stopped kicking the ball, and sat down, leaning his chest against his knees, and wrapping his arms around them.
