Finally Found You

Chapter 16

~HARRY'S POV~

"You heard me." Luke still had a smirk on his face.

"She doesn't even like you. You're lying." I growled.

"Fine, don't believe me." Luke calmly replied.

"I don't!" I snapped.

Luke started to grow aggravated.

"Ask her then! Ask her what happened!" He yelled.

My head started throbbing with confusion, anger, and sadness all at once.

Luke glared at me.

"Don't get all upset about it Harry. She IS afterall your best friend. She is your friend only isn't she?" He said with sarcasm.

I didn't need to hear anymore of his dumb remarks. I immediately started walking out to the courtyard.

"Ask her Harry!" Luke called out as I continued walking away.

Moments later I made my way to the courtyard where everyone was sitting down at our usual table.

"Hey mate! Where you been?" Louis smiled as I sat next to him.

"Ah, you know just had to take care of a couple things." I simply said. I didn't want to bring up anything until I talked to Jessica.

Or maybe I shouldn't...

I kept debating in my head on whether or not to ask her. She wouldn't do anything like that right?

She doesn't like Luke. That guy is a prick, Jessica can do better than that.

What does it matter? She's my best friend and as far as I know she doesn't like me romantically.

I stood up from the table.

"Where are you going?" Jessica innocently asked.

She was sitting across the table with Eleanor and Perrie.

"To get a pretzel from the cafe." I replied, I was crazy hungry.

"I'll go with you." She smiled.

She stood up and walked alongside me.

We made small talk as I bought my snack and she bought a juice.

As we were walking back a moment of silence was upon us.

"Why are you so quiet Styles?" Jess looked up at me.

"No reason." I lied and half smiled.

It was bothering me.

"You sure?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

I decided I needed to just ask her. I knew if I didn't it would bother me to no end.

"Um actually, can I ask you something?" I questioned.

We were already getting near the table again and I wanted to ask her privately.

Perrie and the other girls spotted her.

"Yeah, sure Harry what is i-"

"Jess!" Eleanor called out giggling.

Jessica smiled and hurried to the table.

I sighed and sat back down next to Louis and Liam.

Ten minutes passed by and everyone was chatting and laughing. I stayed quiet as I kept thinking about what Luke said.

"Jessica." I said to her across from me.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"Can we talk now?"

"Now, now, now Harry! Whatever you have to tell Jessica you can tell her in front of us." Perrie smirked.

"Yeah!" Zayne chuckled. "Were all pals here aren't we."

"I don't think that's a good idea." I replied.

"I agree with them, just ask me here Harry." Jessica giggled.

"No." I was starting to get annoyed.

"Harry! Stop being like that just say it!" Jessica crossed her arms.

"Say it Styles!" Niall added. Oh hell not him too.

"Nevermind. Forget it." I bitterly spoke.

"No! Now you brought it up! Ask!!" Jessica yelled.

Fine. If that's what she wanted.

"Did you make out with Luke!?" I yelled back in fustration.

Her face turned red and everyone stared at her.
