"Harry!" Niall's Irish accent rang in my ears.
"What is it Niall?" I groaned, rolling around in my bed. I just want to go back to sleep and maybe go to a carnival with Louis or we could float all the way to Paris or something.
"It's Sunday!" Niall cheerfully said. He jumped on my bed and I continued to groan and cover my face with a pillow.
"And so?"
"And so it's family day! We're going to the movies!"
"But I don’t want to" I groaned and rolled around so that I was lying on my belly with my face buried in my pillow.
Niall stopped jumping. "What?"
"I just want to sleep"
"But Harry--"
"Can't I skip this day!?"
"Harry!" Niall said. Suddenly, the covers were off of my body and Niall pushed me so I was facing him. "You never miss family day!"
"Exactly. I don’t see why I can't miss now!" I whined. I sound like a prick but I really just want to go back to sleep.
"What's wrong with you Harry? We barely spend time with mum and dad--"
"Alright, alright. I'll go to that damn family day"
I opened my eyes and I saw Niall looking at me with a disappointed look. Guilt instantly filled me. Maybe I was a bit harsh. I just wanted to be with fantasy Louis because I’m still pretty heart-broken from the real-life Louis.
"I'm sorry Niall. You know how cranky I am in the morning. I just, I just had a nice dream. Yeah. I'd love to go to the movies with you and mum and dad"
Niall's face brightened up and I sighed in relief. "Okay. Great. Now get up so we can buy tickets early and get awesome seats"
I nodded and watched as Niall cheerfully skipped out of my room. I groaned and made my way towards the shower, stripping off my clothes and throwing them on the floor along the way.
As I stood underneath the showerhead, just allowing the water to flow down my body. I thought about my amazing night with Louis. Everything felt so real and I wouldn't mind staying there forever. But I can't. I shouldn't.
After I shampooed my hair and rinsed it off, I picked some casual clothing and trotted down the stairs where Niall, mum and dad were waiting for me.
"Harry" mum smiled at me.
We all climbed into Niall's dad's car. With him in the driver's seat, mum riding shotgun and Niall and I sitting in the middle seat.
"What movie are we gonna watch?" Niall asked.
"Maybe Iron Man 3" mum said while smiling at the both of us.
"But we already watched that" I said. We did. I even gave Louis my jacket and Liam and Niall were having the time of their lives and I was having mine as well until I decided to kiss him.
"Oh" mum's face fell. I feel like such a huge dick.
"I'm fine with watching it again" Niall shrugged. "It’s an amazing movie"
"No it's fine" mum sighed. Crap.
"No mum. I'm totally fine with watching it again" I said while fiddling with the bottom of my jumper. Dad was staring at me with a disappointed look.
All I wanted to do today was sleep and be with Louis but now I managed to make my mother sad, piss my father off and disappoint my brother. I just sighed and closed my eyes for a while, just waiting for fantasy Louis to magically appear beside me like he always does.
Unfortunately, before Louis could appear, Niall was shaking me awake. "We're here" I groaned internally. Why oh why must people have such bad timing?
Mum and Dad were lining up to buy the tickets while Niall and I were in the queue for some snacks.
"So what do you want? Popcorn or just some M&Ms?" Niall asked and I shrugged and yawned. "What do you think mum and dad would like? Maybe mum would like some popcorn and dad would probably want hotdogs--"
"Look Niall, I don't really care what they want and I doubt they even care what snacks you buy them" I snapped and sighed.
"Well jesus Harry, you don't need to be so rude! I know you're sad and all but you're not the only person who has feelings here" Niall rolled his eyes.
"Who are you to say that? You and Liam are practically just one inch closer to fucking each other! Meanwhile, here I am, mourning over a broken heart just because I fell in love with my best friend!" I shouted. A couple of people turned to look at us but I ignored them.
I looked at Niall and his normally pale face was flushed and he looks like he's on the brink of crying. I felt guilty. Why am I being such a dick today?
"Aw, Niall I'm--"
"Shut up" Niall said as the tears fell down his cheeks. "You could at least be grateful. I asked them to take you out because I don’t want you to lock yourself up in misery and you repay me by being such a prick"
"I know Niall. I'm sorry" I said. I looked over to where mum and dad was and thankfully, they were too busy talking to each other to notice that Niall has started crying. "I'm sorry Niall. I just feel really crappy and I keep screwing up and--"
"Whatever" Niall sniffed. He placed our order to the girl behind the counter and I wasn't really surprised that he ordered large popcorn, 3 hotdogs, 1 nachos, 2 packs of M&Ms and one large drink for himself. "Fix your shit up Harry" he said before pushing half of the things he bought into my arms.
We made our way to where our parents were waiting and they were both surprised to see Niall all flushed and red and teary.
"What's wrong Niall?" my mum asked.
"Nothing" Niall sniffed.
Both mum and dad's eyes made their way towards me and I stared at the ground and ignored their disapproving glances.
We made our way inside the cinema and Niall is refusing to talk to me. Great, now I lost 2 of my best friends. If it isn't awkward enough, I had nowhere to sit except beside him and when I did, he made a move to inch away from me as far as he can.
Since Niall wasn’t talking to me and the person on my right side was a 50 something loner, I closed my eyes and then maybe I could just go to sleep.
"Harry!" someone whispered. I opened my eyes to see Louis smiling at me. Even though it's pretty dark in the theater, Louis' eyes shine quite brightly.
"Oh hey" I said.
"Let's go" he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me up. A couple of people shouted at me to sit back down and I apologized to them before running out of the theater.
"What about Niall and mum and dad" I asked.
Louis just shrugged and smiled at me. "It's your fantasy land after all"
Good point. "So where are we going?" I asked. We were just walking around with our hands clasped together and no one is paying attention to us.
"I don’t know. Anywhere. I just want to walk around the mall with my boyfriend" he smiled.
"You're too sweet" I said. I pinched his cheeks slightly and he just pouted at me.
We walked into different stores and Louis bought me multiple clothes and new shoes. "You don't have to, really"
"It's fine" Louis shrugged. "I like making you happy"
We just had fun walking around and buying things and looking at things until I brought Louis the the bay located near the mall.
"Wow this is beautiful" Louis said as he sat on the stone bench facing the sea.
"Not as beautiful as you"
Louis blushed. "Cheesy"
I chuckled and leaned my head against his shoulder. "I feel really bad Louis. I wish I had fallen in love with you earlier and just slept most of the time to save myself from heartbreak"
"That's part of living Harry" Louis said as he rubbed my sides gently.
"I don’t want to live enough more Louis. I hurt Niall pretty badly and I'm pretty sure my parents hate me"
"Don't say that. Just apologize to Niall"
"Alright, alright" I sighed. I turned my head to look at him and I realized that he is the prettiest boy that I have ever seen. He's probably the prettiest human being in the entire world.
"Quit staring" he laughed.
"Oh whatever. Just kiss me" I said.
"Gladly" Louis was about to lean in and I was just about to close my eyes when...
"Harry wake up!" I opened my eyes and I was back in the theater and people were standing up and walking to the exit.
"Louis" I groaned.
"What?" Niall asked.
"Nothing" I said as I rubbed my eyes in an attempt to clear my vision. "The movie is over?"
"Yeah" Niall said silently.
We stood there awkwardly for a while. I noticed that mum and dad were gone. "Where are mum and dad?"
"Oh they had to go to the loo early"
"Oh. Okay. Listen, Niall--"
"No Harry. Listen, I’m sorry okay? I should have been more considerate and--"
"No I should be the one who's--"
"You're heart-broken I--"
"But I didn't have to be a prick about it--"
"It's alright I under--"
"Niall"
"Harry"
We just looked at each other before laughing. "I'm sorry okay?" I smiled.
"So am I" Niall smiled back.
"So we're brothers again?"
"We will always be brothers"
Niall and I laughed again before leaving the place arm in arm just like real brothers and best friends.
