CHEAT

chapter 2

Everything was silent, too silent. I started to panic. Trying hard not to let it show on my face I look to Niall, he looks just as lost as me. I give him one last scowl, turn on my heal and walk after Alba.

I practically jump down the stairs, once I've reached the bottom I know Alba has left the house in a hurry as the front door is still wide open. I sprint to the door leaning out trying to catch a glimpse of her. Finally I see her trademark brown eyes looking over her shoulder, obviously checking I'm not following her. She sees me and puts her brown hair over her face. Like that's going to help, I think. Someone else is running down the stairs behind me and before I can look behind me to see who it is, they push past me almost knocking me over. Louis runs after alba like the adorable boyfriend he is. I decide to let him take care of this knowing he will be able to talk some sense into her.

*Alba POV*

"Urg I can't believe Harry could do that to Keely and Sol won't even let me tell her now" I shouted in frustration.

"It's okay Albs, calm down" Louis said trying to comfort me while pulling me into a hug.

"Don't call me 'albs'! Its alba or nothing."

"Okay, nothing." louis chuckles at our ongoing joke. He strokes my hair gently, this is comforting. I close my eyes and rest my head on his chest, I can hear his heartbeat. We stay like this for so long.

"Oh sorry" an awkward voice comes from behind louis, I peek over his shoulder.

Iz is walking, half running, back to the house, a blush creeps over my face. Does she still like Louis? No time to think about that now, we need to worry about keely. Oh poor keely, I wish I could do something but no Sol won't let us, even though its the right thing to do. Who makes her the boss? If it were me I would want to know, even if it hurt. I look up at louis. He would never be this cruel to me, he's too honest, sweet and adorable. A foolish grin crosses my face and I try to hide my face in his shirt but it's like he can read my mind.

"Alba I would never do that to you"

"I know louis..... Its just Harry might have said that to keely and well.." I can't find the words.

"Don't you trust me?"

Do I trust him? Of course I do, he's nothing like Harry.

"Of course I do silly" I said playfully punching him in the stomach.

He tries to act shocked but fails miserable, he grins and hugs me tighter.

"Well then there's nothing to worry about then" he whispers into my hair. He kisses my forhead then turns back to the house still with me under his arm.

Louis POV:

I love having my arm around albas shoulders, its strangely comforting knowing I have her so close. I play with her hair twisting a strand round my finger, She lies her head on my shoulder.

Does she really trust me? She has to know I would never even think of doing that to her, that's Harry's style not mine. I stopped her and held her a shoulders width a part and looked into her deep brown eyes.

"Do you really trust me?"

She seems slightly shocked at my sudden question, I can see she is struggling for words. I feel overwhelmed at this anger, I want to go and shout at Harry. Tell him he's an idiot.

Sol POV:

I decide to go back upstairs and face Harry and keely. I deserve to feel this guilt. I take the stairs two at a time and once I reach the door I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I reach for the doorknob but the door swings open before I push it making me jump, Harry is just as startled to see me and has the decency to look embarrassed, he looks over his shoulder towards keely who's chatting happily with Iz. He looks back at me and nods his head towards the stairs. I shake my head with disgust, spin around and race down the stairs hoping he doesn't catch up, I grab my leather jacket on the way out the door. I hear quick footsteps behind me and grunt like a horse.

"Wait!" Harry whispers "sol, wait please."

I continue to shake my head and storm down the road. I see Alba and Louis up the road talking so I take a sharp turn right so they don't see me and Harry.

Harry catches up and puts a hand on my shoulder trying to spin me around, I jab my shoulder out of his grip.

We walk like this for a while, me just a few steps infront of him. We turn into an alley way. Harry huffs and put his hand on my shoulder again but before I can shove him off he spins me around and shoves me against the wall.

"Ah!" I shout. "That hurt you.. Idiot"

His hands on either side of my head stopping me from escaping. His usually beautiful features are distorted by his angry expression leaving me breathless. Its oddly sexy. Why is he angry? I should be the one who's angry! He seems to notice this and his face grows softer and some of his features return.

"I'm sorry" he whispers "you just wouldn't listen"

His amazing green eyes never fail to make me squirm, they are just too beautiful.

I refuse to let my scowl slip.

"That's because I didn't want to talk to you." I whisper back " Why the HELL did u tell Niall! Of all people Harry, Niall had to be the person u told!"

"Look I'm sorry! He's my best friend an-"

"And he's my boyfriend!" I interrupted

He sighs and looks down, then back up at me.

"Then what am I?" He whispers, his voice raw with emotion.

I'm still angry.

"Nothing. No, actually, a bloody mistake. I love Niall, Harry. I can't keep doing this to him, its killing me."

He looks so hurt that my anger goes and is replaced by sadness. I feel my eyes water. Harry places his hand on my cheek.

"But I love you."

I stop breathing, anger returns even stronger in the pit of my stomach.

"No u don't Harry" I shout sternly ripping his arms away from the wall "you don't. What about keely! "

"I don't care about her anymore!"

I spin round my mouth falling to the floor.

"Harry! That's terrible, you can't say that! Its not true!"

He catches my arm and pulls me so I'm standing right infront of him, our lips inches apart.

"Its true. sol, this was just a laugh at first, a mistake. But its grown to be so much more than that. I love you" he groans, I can feel his sweet breath on my skin. I'm lost in his green eyes and before I know it we are kissing. I pull away slightly annoyed.

"Stop."

"No."

And we kiss again. we stay like this for ages, lost in our kiss. Its simply great. This time Harry is the one to pull away. He wraps his strong arms around me, this is so relaxing. I cant help but compare this feeling to the one I have with Niall. My eyes close relishing in the feeling of his arms around my waist. "You don't really love him anymore, do you?" He says, his lips at my ear.

I sigh and rest my cheek against his.

"Noo" I groan "I used to. So much. But then you had to come along."

He laughs and it makes me smile. I open my eyes and look to the end of the alley way. I freeze and my eyes widen. Harry pulls away and looks at me worried, he turns around and freezes just like me, he rips his hand from my waist and puts them behind his back like a small boy being caught in the cookie jar.

Alba and louis are staring at us with the same expressions as we have. I feel my face begin to heat. Alba shakes her head once with wide eyes, spins around and runs off, louis a few steps behind.

"Crap." Harry breathes
