Plot 22

Chapter 4

"Niall, I don't think this will work out like you think it will".

"Yes, it will. Do you want to know why?" I waited for his answer. "Because until you are Harry are friends again, this", he pointed to his whole body, "is off-limits". I gasped.

"You're withholding sex from me? Only girls do that". 

"Well, now, Niall does it", he said, laughing, "So, if you want me, make friends with Harry. I'm sure you'll give in first. I can hold out a long longer than you can".

"Cocky bastard".

"Well, you're right about 'cocky' ". He winked at me.

"I hate you".

"No, you don't", he said and kissed me, "I'll be back. I need to go thank Harry and tell him the plan".

I sat down in the waiting room.

Niall POV

"Hey mate", I said when I walked in.

"Hey there", he said smiling.

"How are you feeling?"

"I've been better".

"I bet. They're sending you home tomorrow. I know you'll need help, so I'm sending someone with you".

"Who? What are you talking about?"

"Megan is going to live with you and help you out until you get better". He shook his head.

"I know you're trying to help, lad, but that will do more harm than good".

"Harry, just hear me out-".

"No, Niall", he cut me off, "Look. You may think that the reason I don't talk to Megan anymore is because she doesn't like to talk about Ashley. I would love if that were the reason. I don't like to talk about Ashley because it's too hard. That's not the reason why I don't get along with Megan".

"Then, what is it?"

"They're twins". I waited for him to say something else. He didn't. "They're twins", he repeated.

Oh. Realization had washed over me.

"They're identical. So, every time you see Megan, you see Ashley". 

He nodded, and I could tell he was trying to hold back tears.

"It's too hard to look at Megan and know that you have someone that beautiful, and I don't anymore. I'm sorry. I really don't have a problem with Megan. She's a great girl. She can't help if it they're identical". I sat down on the edge of his bed.

"Harry, I know it's hard. I miss Ashley too. Probably not as much, but I do. You saved my life today, kinda". He raised his eyebrows. "Yeah, the paramedic told me. This could help you and Megan both. I know it's not saving your life, but I really think it'll do you some good. Please, just let me help you. Let her live with you for a little bit, and I promise you'll be thanking me".

"Ugh, Niall", he said, "fine. Megan can stay with me. But, this better work".

"I promise it will. Louis wants you to pick you up from the hospital tomorrow, so I'll drop her off at your house. Thanks, mate".

I hugged Harry and left. Megan and I drove him in silence. She was probably upset, but I didn't care. I was sure that my plan would work. When we got home, I took off my shirt and got into bed. She put on a tank top and shorts and grabbed a blanket. She began to walk to the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm sleeping on the couch".

"Why?" She looked at me. I laughed. "Are you serious? If you can't have sex with me, you don't want to be in the bed with me at all?" I continued laughing.

"I see nothing funny".

"I do". I keeled over in laughter. She threw the pillow at me. I blocked it.

"Stop it", she said. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her run towards me and jump. She tried to hit me, but was unsuccessful.

"Sorry, babe", I said, after I calmed down, "but that was really funny. Don't sleep on the couch. This is the last time that we can sleep in the same bed before you go to Harry's. Stay here". She thought for a second.

"Fine. I still hate you". She laid beside me, and I pulled her into my arms.

I was going to miss this for a while.

When I woke up, Zayn, Liam, and Louis were in the living room.

"Hey there", I said, "Lou, is Harry at home now?"

"Yep", he said, "I just dropped him off". Megan came out behind me.

"Hey sleepyhead", Zayn said, "excited to live with Harry?" She fake smiled.

"You're going to love it", Liam said, "he's not that bad. And, you two can get closer".

They ate while we got ready to go. I told them that I would see them later and drove Megan to Harry's.

"Be nice", I told her. She rolled her eyes. I walked her to the door and held her bags.

"I'll miss you", I told her. I could tell she wanted to say something smart, but she refrained.

"I'll miss you too, babe". I kissed her. As I pulled away, she pulled me closer. After a couple of minutes, she finally let go.

"What was that for?"

"Just showing you what you'll be missing". She winked at me.

"Bye, Meg".

I kissed her again and drove off.

Megan POV

I knocked on the door. After a couple of minutes, I heard someone come to answer it. I looked at the person who opened it.

"Hey, Harry".

Hey guys! I know that I said I wasn't going to update till Friday, but I had a great idea for the story, and I didn't want to forget it. I hope you don't mind. Trust me. It's about to get good. Enjoy! (:
