I Will Wait...(A Harry Styles Fanfic)

Chapter 6

*****

“Hello? Earth to Harry.” Louis says, snapping his fingers in front of my face.

I blink back tears and bite my lip.

“What is it?”

“I just really miss her.”

“I know you do. I miss her too. I know only got a phone call once a week but still.”

I look at him and he is picking at his thumb, not looking up.

“Harry, you don’t know how bad I feel. I wish I could have come-“

“Don’t”

“No really. I just wish-“

I cut him off again.

“Yeah we all have wishes. I know you feel bad but imagine how I feel! It’s all my damn fault and I regret it every single day!” I say, raising my voice.

“Do you really think that Harry? It’s not your fault. No one can help that she left!”

He stands up, grabbing his jacket and heading towards the door.

“Louis, wait.”

He turns around and lets out a breath of air.

“You want to go for a walk?”

“Sure.” He says, smiling weakly.

I get dressed and slip on my converse. I lock the door behind us and we head out.

“You know there are 400 steps till the ice cream parlor?” I ask

“I’m guessing she told you that. You want to go there?” Louis says with a smile.

I just nod my head. We continue walking in silence until we reach the place.

“Do you remember the day I met her?” he asks.

“How can I not? It was here, after all.” I say opening the door.

The cool air brushes my face and the scent of ice cream and fresh waffle cones hits me. I spot the table where they first met. My lips curve into a smile, remembering how nervous she was.

“What if he doesn’t like me?” she asks nervously.

“He will love you. Trust me.”

“What if he thinks I’m too young?”

“Ellie, we are the same age.” I say laughing.

“Yeah but he’s twenty and I’m seventeen.”

“I’m seventeen and we are best friends. What does that tell you?”

“You’ve also known him since you were three!”

I just roll my eyes. She can be so dramatic sometimes. I hear the little bell from the door ring. Looking up I see Louis walking in.

“Louis, over here!”

He smiles and walks over. Ellie’s hands start shaking so I reach across the table and grab them. She gives me a small smile.

I stand up, giving him a hug and say “Hey Tommo!” 

“You are still the only one that calls me Tommo.” He says chuckling.

“And you’re the only one that still calls me Styles.” I say with a smile.

“And I’m guessing this is Ellie.”

“Oh yeah. Ellie this is Louis. Louis this is Ellie.”
