That was then, This is now
Hope is rising
Harry's POV
"Louis have you seen my phone?" I yelled though the house looking desperately for it.
"You left it here pumpkin." He said mentioning towards the table in front of the tv in the living room.
"Finally!" I grabbed it and noticed I had two text messages and one missed call. Hope came up again but immediately dissipated when I saw the texts were from Zayn and Gemma and the missed call from my mum.
"Zayn said he's coming over for dinner." I informed Louis sighing. "Perrie's out of town again."
"You always get that face whenever you check your phone." He said not taking his eyes from the screen.
"What face?" I frowned.
"Disappointment." He simply said whereas I just sighed again. "See what I mean?" He turned to look at me.
"I just… I don't know I guess I'm still waiting for the day I look at my phone and Mia's name pops up to say she still loves and wants me back."
"She got really hurt Harry."
"I know I shouldn't have lost my temper like that but you heard what that jerk was saying, I couldn't just stay there while he kept saying those things." I remembered for the 9835091274th time what that arse said back at Mia's birthday.
"I know pal. Does she know what he said?"
"No, she didn't even let me explain, she was completely pissed and kept yelling as crying. It broke my heart Lou you have no idea. See her crying like that just made me lose my focus."
"Maybe she needs time." He resonated.
"More? It's been three months!" My heart sank as her last words crossed my mind again. 'I hate you' she said. Never in my life I thought I'd hear that from the girl I love.
"Harry what happened was a lot for her to take in, she saw her boyfriend AND her ex fighting over her on the 18th birthday. That day is extremely important for chicks and she thinks you ruined it." He said softly trying to console me.
"And I did." I shook my head looking down.
"Not exactly, you were defending her, she doesn't know that."
"Do you think I should call her again?"
"No. You tried calling her for a few days after what happened and she never returned you calls. As I said she needs time."
"More time away from here? That's the same as throwing her into that asshole's arms. She's probably over me yet."
"She isn't." A female voice came from the bathroom surprising here.
"El? I didn't know you were here?" I looked at Louis who smiled innocently at me.
"I just got here." She said. "And Mia's not over you."
"How do you know?" My heartbeat increased just to the thought of that.
"Because she was madly in love with you, it's impossible to forget someone in such short time no matter how mad she is at you."
"Well when you have another someone it's kinda easy to forget the old." I stated.
"You're talking about Filipe?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, it was clear he wants her."
"Yeah so?" She said on the couch placing her feet on Louis' lap while he massaged it.
"So he'll try everything and just to think of it makes me sick. Plus, you two are not helping by acting all lovey dovey." I rolled my eyes and walked to my room.
"She really affected him didn't she?" I heard Eleanor whisper.
"It's called love." Louis simply said. He's right, it's love.
I laid on the bed closing my eyes briefly. As I was ready to take a little nap before dinner my phone buzzed with a twitter notification. Mia had posted something.
@MiaCortês Finally got back to my old passion.
I swallowed trying to understand the meaning of that. It could only mean one thing, she and that jerk were back together. I knew sooner or later she'd get back to him, she's so beautiful every guy would like a chance with her. At least if she knew what really happened that day.
As a normal 2 million followers account she immediately got replies asking if we were back together. Everyone knew we had broken up when we both posted on twitter it happened due to some incompatibilities with distance but there were no hard feelings just like management advised me to.
Not even for that I had the chance to talk to her, she never answered my calls so Dani and El informed her about what she had to said and she merely posted it. Just like if it didn't matter.
And now I lost her. Only if she knew how much I miss her and want her back. To kiss her full lips again, hold her hands, hear her laugh in my ear and how it always made me shiver, how her blue always would get brighter when she was happy… And hear her moan my name was like a melody to my ears. I missed all of that. But now it doesn't even matter coz she's back with… him.
"Hazza, Zayn is here!" Louis shouted from downstairs snapping me away from my hurtful thoughts.
"Coming." I shouted back getting up.
"Hey man." Zayn said smiling.
"What's up?" I greeted him.
"Still in a bad mood huh?" He asked but I merely shrugged.
"C'mon Harry you need to cheer up man, I can't stand see you like that anymore, you don't even have fun with us like you used too." He said ruffling my curls.
"I'm fine." I slapped his hand away.
"Oh please I hear you cry yourself to sleep everyday." Louis rolled his eyes.
"No I don't!" I bluntly said.
"Yeah you don't I just said it lo look more dramatic." He shrugged.
"Look we all loved her too, she was definitely the best girl you've had so maybe this little time apart was for the best, maybe you needed some time apart and it will only fortify your relationship."
"El, what do you think?" I turned to her once she's a girl and understands that more than anybody.
"I think Zayn's right, sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together." She smiled sweetly at me.
"That was so profound love." Louis took his arm to his chest surprised with his girlfriend's words. "Bu your you're right. I hope you keep that thoughts if we ever fall apart for some reason." He kissed her temple.
"That's not happening, ever." She kissed Louis' lips.
"Uhg that's it, I'm outta here." I said not baring any happy couple near me.
"Where are you going?" Louis asked worried.
"Out." I shrugged grabbing my car keys.
"Everytime you say that you come home almost in the morning drunk." He expressed some concern.
"So?"
"You're on the news almost everyday associated to some girl you meet at clubs, is that the image you want people to have of you?" It was Zayn's turn to convince me.
"Don't wait me up yeah?" I said closing the door behind me without looking back.

I was drunk, I knew I was drunk but I didn't care. At least when I was drunk I wouldn't think of Mia. Well maybe not.
Some random girl whose name I can't remember was kissing my neck when my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a notification again.
@MiaCortês My last tweet was about my old passion for ballet which I quit a few months ago because of a bad injury, not about what you all think. #Awkward
A small smile works his way onto my face when I read that. People actually thought she was referring to me but as we're not back together I thought of Filipe, but she wasn't mentioning any of us, she wasn't back with him!
I stopped the girl and pushed her away from my lap. She wasn't even satisfying me anyway.
Maybe just maybe, I still had a shot with Mia.
"Louis have you seen my phone?" I yelled though the house looking desperately for it.

Notes
I'm so sorry if my last chapter made you cry, I just wanted a bit of emotion for the 1st chapter of the sequel.. :bThanksss for all the comments and votes, keep them coming! xx
@M.J.
It's amazing how you know my writing and that I don't do happily ever after which is true but I don't think I've ever mentioned that (?)
And yes, I'm replying 6 months later, sorry.
I do envision the next step after that last chapter ended but that, of course, is gonna stay in my head. :)
