Mandolin Rain

Harry's POV

We have all day off. I couldn't be more excited. Tour life is exhausting, we're constantly moving, constantly going places, talk to this person, talk to this person, sign this, change quickly, you can't do that, you can't do this. Today we're free to do whatever we want, within reason of course. It's hard in Japan though, not speaking the language at all so we always have to go out with a translator and a body guard.

I decided to call Elliot instead, she's been a little shaken up since the whole issue with her stalker. Who ever it was, was seriously creeping me out so I can't even imagine how Elliot feels.

She answers on the second ring.

“Hey Harry.”

“Hows it going?” I'm a little nervous she'll freak out on me, this is not the Elliot I'm used to.

“Fine.” Good, going to be one of those kinds of conversations.

“We have the day off today.” I try to cheer her up and make this conversation a happy one.

“Oh yeah? What's the plans then?” She sounds better at least.

“Not much, the guys want to go to the beach and go out but I haven't decided. Louis will stay in like usual, who knows what Zayn's doing.” I just want to be at home with Elliot and Luna.

“Cool.”

“Are you okay?” I hate asking that question.

“I'm fine. Just have my mind on other things.” Ouch, that's a little painful.

“Oh, I'll just talk to you later then?” Guess she just doesn't want to continue the conversation.

“No Harry, I'm sorry, I'm just stressed out with everything that's going on, this person seriously has me on edge, I don't know what she's going to do next.” I shouldn't be so hard on her.

“I know, I wish I could be there with you. I hate this is happening.” I sit down and run my fingers through my hair, I wish I could just snap my fingers and fix this.

“Yeah, well you're not here so...” And back to this.

“You don't have to remind me Elliot, I know.”

“I just need a break.” Perfect idea, a break!!

“Then take a break, take some time off, come visit us in Japan, you'd love it here.” The plans are already running in my head of when she can come out and visit and what we can do.

“No, Harry, I mean a break from us a-”

“Got it. You can leave my house anytime.” Are you fucking kidding me? A break from us? After all of this she's just going to give up?

I'm pissed, I throw my phone across the room, wincing as I can hear it shatter against the wall. Great.

She wants a break? She'll get a break.

I left my phone in pieces and charge out of the bus.

“Woah, wheres the fire?” Niall teases.

“Not in the mood Niall. Elliot just broke up with me.” I tell him, fuming.

“What? No way.” He sits up from the picnic table he's been laying on.

“Well its the fucking truth. She said she wanted a break. And I don't blame her.” Thinking about it I really don't blame her, I mean since being with me people have hated her for no reason, spray painted her house, stole shit from her, broke into her house, I'm surprised she made it this long with me to be honest.

“Call her back, I'm sure it was a big misunderstanding.” Niall tries to reason with me.

“Nope. I just shattered my phone in the bus. I'm not calling her back either. She wanted a break, she'll get a break. I'm going out tonight, you coming?” I ask.

“But you never go out.” He reminds me.

“I know, but tonight I just need to get away.” I tell him honestly.

“I'll go with you, but don't do anything stupid. Don't do something you'll regret.” He tells me.

“Well, I don't really care anymore.” I shrug my shoulders and continue walking to who knows where.

I woke up with a pounding headache, I never drink, I don't know why I decided to go all out yesterday. Ugg. I slowly sit up and place my hand on a body? Shit.

I slowly turn my head and see long gray hair. Lou? What the fuck?

With wide eyes I slowly lift the sheets to realize I only have boxers on.

Oh my god.

This ruins everything.

I look around the room finding clothes strewn all about like they were thrown all over the place. God, no I can't believe I did this. Panic sets in.

I creep to the edge of the bed careful to stand, covering myself with a pillow finding my boxers on the floor and slowly slipping them on, eyes locked on Lou to make sure she doesn't wake up. Maybe if I leave, she won't remember last night and I can forget this ever happened.

I gather the rest of my things, why is it so fucking hard to put skinny jeans on quietly?

“Harry?” I hear Lou's voice groggy with sleep.

So much for my plan.

“Hey Lou.” I watch her turn and pull the sheets up covering her body.

“Were you just going to leave me here?” She teases.

“I was kind of hoping that that's how it could go.” I pull my shirt on. “I didn't really plan on this happening.”

“Well you were all about it last night, telling anyone and everyone that you and Elliot broke up.” She tells me and I instantly slump feeling terrible about Elliot. Even if we're on a break I would never do this, I can't believe I did this.

“I didn't think it would get this far, I still love Elliot, I'm not like this.” I try to explain leaning against the dresser.

“Harry, we didn't have sex last night.” She shakes her head.

“We didn’t?” I look at her.

“No, I mean we kissed, I'm embarrassed to say I tried but you just wanted to go to sleep telling me constantly that you loved Elliot then you passed out. I was too tired to get dressed so I just fell asleep.” She smiles.

“Are you sure?” I ask.

“I'm sure we didn't have sex last night.”

“I have to get a new phone and call Elliot.” I'm so glad nothing happened, now just to make sure Elliot doesn't find out.

I storm back onto the bus to get my phone only to be confronted by Louis and Eleanor.

“Where the fuck have you been?” Louis asks.

“Out, why?” I try to act like nothing happened.

“Because Niall went out with you and Lou and said that you two didn't want to come back with him. Where's Lou Harry?” He crosses his arms. People think that Liam is the “dad” of the group but in reality it's turning into Louis.

“Why do you care? It's none of your business anyway.” I walk back to my bunk to grab some clothes to change into.

“Because it is my business, it's all of our business. What about Elliot?” He asks me.

“What about Elliot?” I give him a nasty look. I see Eleanor behind him almost in tears trying to hold it back. “Shouldn't you be worried about Eleanor? She looks like she's crying.” I point to her trying to change the subject.

“Yeah, she's been quite upset today.” Louis has a stone face I don't see very often if ever. It makes me stop and match his gaze.

“Why?” I say carefully.

“Well if you would have been a man and not taken to drinking to deal with your problems you would have known what happened to Elliot yesterday or in Japan time, around three am when you were pissed drunk probably fucking Lou.” My eyes wide, my Elliot?

“What happened to Elliot?”

“Elliot was an accident...” He starts to explain to me and I listen as my face goes white and I can't catch my breath. What have I done?
