If We Could Only Turn Back Time

Chapter 3

Harry’s View

All I could do was hug her and let her cry. Louis shouldn’t have done that. I could feel her tears seeping into my shirt. I couldn’t take this; it hurt me to see her cry especially when it was over our best friend. I gave Louis a look and he walked out. He was hurt too. I picked her up and carried her up stairs. The boys looked at me holding her. I shook my head as in saying “this isn’t a good time to ask.” I carried her into my room. All I wanted was to kiss her and tell her everything would be alright. I placed her on the bed and I laid next to her. I pulled her close to me. Her head was against my chest. I rubbed her back and hummed some tune. I noticed she was silent. I looked down at her and she had fallen asleep. The tears were still on her cheeks. I wiped them away with my thumb then I kissed the top of her head.

“It’ll be okay, don’t you worry. I’m here for you.” I said kissing her forehead once more.

Next thing I knew Gracie was playing with my curls. I guess I fell asleep too.

“Hello beautiful.” I said as she smiled the beautiful smile. All I wanted was for her to be happy. She buried her face into me shirt. I put my thumb on her chin and my hand lying underneath. I gently pulled her head up so she was inches from me. I moved in and kissed her. It felt so right and I pushed the kiss a little further hoping she would approve and she did slightly opening her lips. Her hands were running slowly through my curls. God she knew how to kiss! I had my hands on her hips. I didn’t want to take it much further, so I slowed up and pulled my lips from hers. I left my forehead against hers. She was trying to catch her breath.

I could tell she was thinking.

“I need to make things right with Louis.” She whispered. I nodded. I think I may regret the next thing I say:

“Do you think we should break up?” tears started to fill the brim of her eyes. “No, no don’t cry. It was only a thought.” She shook her head.

“I don’t want to end it with you. Things are just starting with us.”

“and they sure won’t be ending anytime soon.” I kissed her forehead and she relaxed. She started to get up.

“I need to make things right.” She said looking at herself in the mirror.

Grace’s View

I walked down the stairs. Niall was spread out on the couch. Zayn on his laptop on the floor and Liam was listening to music.

“Niall where’s Louis?” he shrugged.

“Not sure sorry, G.” I nodded.

“It’s fine.” I said walking into the kitchen where could he be? I stopped and looked out the door. I went outside. It was beautiful out. He was kicking the football into the net. I crept quietly down the stairs and onto the grass. I didn’t have shoes on but I kept walking. He missed the goal and I picked up the ball and passed it to him.

“What are you doing?” he asked clearly mad.

“Let’s play, like when we were little.” We started kicking around the ball and I tripped and fell causing him to fall too. I started laughing.

“You should be mad at me.” he admitted.

“How can I be? You’re my best friend. I just think you should be supportive with this. Lou, he makes me happy. Isn’t that what you want for me?”

“I love you. You know that.” he said hugging me. “if you’re happy, I’m happy. I’m sorry and I love you.”

“I love you too. Best friends fight sometimes that’s all.”

“Can I ask you one thing?”

“mhhm.”

“Don’t talk about your uhh life behind bedroom doors around me.” I smacked his arm.

“Shut up. I won’t. I’m not that kinda girl.” He laughed.

“its harry.” I couldn’t help but laugh then hit him. “Stop hitting me!” he said. I hit him again.

“Or what?”

“I’ll tickle you to death,” I hit him and he wasn’t lying.

“HARRY! HELP ME! SOMEONE IM BEING TICKLED TO DEATH HELP!”

I heard the door open and footsteps across the deck then he was there and helping me. we were all laughing and carrying on. When we finally stopped, we were all laying on the ground looking up at the sky.

“This is how it should be.” Harry said taking my hand.

“The three of us happy and not fighting.” I added.

“agreed.” Louis said.

This is how I wanted it, me happy with my best friend and a boyfriend. Is it possible I already love him?
