The Styles Triplets Part 2: The Triplets go to College

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Harry's POV

To my utter surprise, Edward looses it and wraps his arms around me. I can't feel anything else besides feel sorry for him. I knew Tia nagging him wasn't his problem, he was in some sort of depression.

I stand there with him as he cries into my shoulder. I look at Marcel and give him a worried look. It's so strange seeing someone who would never cry in front you and would rather break things without shedding a tear, completely break down in front of you. I'm actually getting pretty emotionall seeing him like this.

"I'm a shit person." He says. "I don't want to be here."

"What are you talking about?" I ask him, trying not to cry. I don't want to make this worse than it already is. Marcel walks away because he starts crying and doesn't want Ed to see him.

"I'm going to loose her." He weeps. "My life is going to fucking end here, I don't belong here, I'm going to fucking loose my mind."

"Ed, what do you mean?" He pulls away and sits on the other empty bed. I make space on the opposite side and sit down. "Talk to me, we're here for you." As I say that, Marcel joins Edward and pats his back.

"I love music, I love all of that and I always knew that college wasn't going to get in the way of that. My whole purpose in life was to make it big before highschool ended. I would tour, I'd have my mates by my side, Tia and it'd be great but dad just forced this on me dragging the lads down with me. Then I had this conversation with Gemma, that I would get through college, start a music career and marry Tia."

"So do it," I tell him, "do it."

"That was my plan, but she said I was going to fast. She told me that college was going to change me, change Tia and that it was possible that I wasn't going to have her in the end. You know how fucked up that made me? Gemma, of all people told me that."

"Well she's wrong," I tell him.

"Says you Harry! All the advice you get is from her! Did she tell you that you and Olivia weren't going to make it through college?"

"No but-" 

"Exactly!" He interrupts me, "Marcel, did Gemma tell you that you and Veronica weren't going to make it with you here and her all the way over there still in highschool?" Marcel shakes his head.

"You see," he yells, "why the fuck did she tell me and none of you? What made her think that me and Tia wasn't going to work? It's because I'm a fuck up! I fuck everything up and that's why she thought our relationship wasn't going to last! Look at me! I'm a fucking wreck and we haven't even been here for a day! I already busted two guys faces and I'm loosing my fucking mind!"

"Edward calm down," I tell him, "Gemma's crazy okay, she doesn't understand how serious you are. Don't listen to her, she's a bit crazy. She's said things to me like that as well about Olivia, to let her go when you were dating her but that didn't stop me did it? I didn't listen to her. She's our sister and sometimes she knows what's good for us and sometimes she doesn't know what to say."

"I just don't understand," he cries, "Why do I have to be this way? Why does everyone believe that I can't do what I want to do in life? Everyone doubts me."

"I don't doubt you." Marcel tells him. Edward looks over at him, "I know you can do it. You're personality and the way you do things makes you an inspiration. Even if you are a bit aggressive, you don't let people push you around, and that's something I wish I had when I was in highschool."

"You can do it. You just have to control yourself. Don't let things anyone has told you stop you from achieving you're goals, because the way you're acting right now, being such an asshole is going to push Tia away. She isn't sixteen anymore Ed, she's growing up and not all the things you used to do with her is going to please her like it used to," I tell him.
