TIMEBREAKER
Chapter 2
The very next day, he couldn't sleep well with the thought of the horibble incident that happened last week. He was up until 4am until he felt really sleepy, so he decided it was his time to finally sleep. He woke up on 8am with a massive headache, probably because of the lack of hours of sleeping. His eyes were still swollen from crying hard.
He really should get over it, it isn't healthy to cry every night and it happened since the night it happened. He realized that the thing happened and there's no way that he could get a time machine and rewind the mistake. That's impossible.
His loud thoughts were eating him alive each day. Louis hasn't spoken to him ever since that day. He tried to contact Louis, of course but not even once had he answered. Truth be told, without Louis his life become very lonely and boring. Ever since Eleanor came into the picture, we rarely hang out but back then he always make some time for me. But now, I haven't even heard his voice in a week.
The thought of Louis leaving me is like the worst nightmare I've ever had. And the fact that it's actually happening right now makes it even more wonderful. Note the sarcasm.
I sighed as the sun rays shines right through me and decided it was time to get out of my bed and living another boring day, like always. I stretched his arm wide, letting out a loud yawn. I reached out my long arms, identifying my phone on the table. When I finally got it, I check the notification bar to see Niall messaging me.
I quickly open the text message.
Niall:
Wanna hang out later? You've been distant..
I sighed. I wasn't really in the mood for hanging out. I'm not really in the mood for anything, really. I just want to stay in bed and sleep all day, as boring as it sounds. But Niall's true, I've been distant lately. It's mostly because of what happened between Louis and I.
So, I thought maybe I should just go out this time. There wouldn't be any harm, wouldn't it?
I think for awhile, and finally made my last decision that I'd finally to go outside for once after staying home all week.
Harry:
Yeah. Sure, when and where?
Within minutes, I'd already gotten a reply from him.
Niall:
Starbucks. 3pm-ish? I can pick you up if you want
Harry:
Uh, no...it's fine. I'll drive my car. Thanks.
Niall:
Oh ok. See you later x
Harry:
Bye xx
I sent the text and finally get out of bed. I make my way to the empty kitchen and treat myself a nice and simple breakfast. While eating, I decided to scroll over instagram. Eating while staring at the wall doesn't really makes me feel any better and it's quite boring, don't you think?
I scroll from pictures to pictures, liking every single pictures I've seen. Boring, I thought. It's only 8 in the morning, no one posts pictures at times like these. Most people wouldn't even been awake at such times. I'm just an early rise, 's all.
I liked a few more pictures until I decided that I had enough of Instagram. I finished my cereal with a few more spoons and put it into the empty sink to wash it for later.
So now, I don't really have anything to do. Maybe I should open Instagram again. I know, I have an amazing life. Maybe I'd find something interesting there, who knows.
I opened the app with a bored look and continue to scroll over hundrers of pictures, like before. That until a picture took my breath away, literally.
My breath hitched at the sight of the unpleasing picture. I gulped, biting my lip. My lips twitched into a deep frown. I feel so purely upset. Devastated. I feel so devastated. My heart broke into a million tiny pieces. It feels like he whole words suddenly crashes onto me all at once. I put my hand over my mouth and started biting my fingers, showing signs of frustation.
Harry shuts his eyes closed in betrayal and took a glance at the picture again.

It's so pathetic, really. To get sad over a normal photo. He saw pictures of Louis and Eleanor all the time because Louis always posts them everywhere, almost as it's to get me jealous. It's all he every posted about , really. He always feels like Louis shouts I AM IN FACT STRAIGHT, everytime Harry and him hangout ever since there's Eleanor. It's always about her.
But I can't help but feeling so upset over it everytime he did. He just really dislike seeing Eleanor and him together, eventhough Eleanor is a really nice girl and all.
He don't want to admit that he's jealous of the poor girl, but that's exactly what he's feeling. Jealousy is written all over his face everytime he sees Louis with her.
I shook my head and groaned. And so, he spend that day bawling his eyes out and let out all the emotion his feeling on the bed that was once made for two.

It is finally 3pm. Thank god. I can finally get out of this house and do something without looking like the loner I am. I'm finally over the rather...cute picture.
Right now, I won't let anyone ruin my mood, not even Louis. I'm just gonna be all happy and smiling with my new appearant best friend, Niall. Not really...No one, absolutely no one can replace his Lou. Well, not his Lou anymore.
I finally started the car and drives it. The way from my home to Starbucks takes about 10 minutes. The short and silent drive finally ended and I get out of my car, looking for a certain fake-blonde haired with a thick irish accent. When I finally spot Niall, I immeaditely take a seat in front of him. Niall takes his eyes away from his phone when he realized that I'm finally here.
"Harry! You're here!' Niall said in enthusiasm. I grinned at him. "Well, I guess I am, or else you won't see me" I joked and he chuckled.
"Go order first, I already ordered mine" I nod and walked to the counter. A girl with a long, wavy blond hair is the cashier. She waves at me friendly. I awkwardly waves back at the stranger. "Hi! Welcome to Starbucks. May I take your order, babe?" She said, twirling her hair. I cringed at the nickname but decided to let it go.'
"Uhm—Yeah. I want a Caramel Latte, please.." I said, my voice turned sligtly deeper and raspier. She smirked and nod and went to the back, probably making my order/ When she's back with my Caramel Latte, she asked for my name. I wasn't sure if I should lie or just give her my real name. So, I decided to just tell her. There wouldn't be no harm anyway.
"Uhm..Harry" I mumble.
She nod, writing my name to the cup using a sharpie. "Hmm...Harry. I like it" She winked at me and I grab the cup and leave. Well, that was weird.. Is fhat flirting or being friendly? Either way, he wouldn't date her because well, he's gay. Though, he admits that she is a very beautiful person.
I make my way to my seat to see Niall with his drink already. Niall is slurping the cup like he hasn't drink for months. I rolled my eyes.
I drink a gulp of my drink. "So, Harry. How'd you been?" Asked Niall with curiousity. I haven't told Niall about what happened. I didn't even told Niall that I love my own best friend and the fact that I am gay. I don't think that would be necessary.
"Um, good? Not exactly..but I'm fine. What about you?" I returned the question to him. He made a thoughtful look, which I chuckled at. "I've been fantastic, sir" I laughed out loud at his cheekiness.
That's why I love hanging out with Niall. He always makes everything feels better eventhough it's not. It's like he never had any problem at all with his spontenous act. He never failed to make me feel good in seconds, even just by hearing him laugh at stupid things.
I take a sip of my drink again when suddenly a note slips from the bottom of the cup. I hovered my eyes go the onr and pick it up as I opened the small note.
xxx-xxx-xxxx call me, boo? x ;) ♥
I groaned and Niall furrowed his eyebrows. "What is that, Harry?" I shook my head, muttering quiet nothing.
Niall doesn't look satisfied as he quickly get out of his seat and taking the note from me. And the next thing I knew, the note was already in his hand. I gasped, "Niall!"
He grins, "Ooooh, little Harold have an admirer! Who is it? Is it that girl from the counter? Harry!"
I blushed slightly when I realized that some eyes were laid on us. I smacked him. "Shut up, Niall. You're attracting attention"
Niall huffed. "I don't care. Details. Now. Is it really that girl?"
I mumbled a low "Maybe..." And suddenly Niall gasped dramatically. "Dude! I was trying to hit on her since I arrived here. Unfair!" Niall pouted, crossing his arm. I laughed lighyly, "Too bad, man. Kidding, you can have her. I have an eye on someone anyway.." I blurted out.
"WHAT!" Niall suddenly shouts, attracting more attention than before. I flinched. "Why didn't you tell me anything? Dude! You never tell me anything" He huffed.
Just great. I shouldn't have said that. Now what do I tell him? It was accidentally anyway..but still. I, most definitely wouldn't tell him that I'm gay. What if he's homophobic? I pursed my lips. Will Niall accept me? He'd been friends with me for years, sure and I tell him almost everything. But I'm still not quite ready.
"Harryyyyy" He said, dragging the letter Y. "Tell me, please!" He cried out like a baby.
"Um—"
"Harry!"
What do I tell him. My mind is racing fast and my mouth work faster than my mind when I accidentally said something I shouldn'tve.
Niall gasped as the name slipped out of my mouth. I can't even believe I said that. Fucking amazing.
"Harry! Oh my god!" Niall said, he shook his head slowly, giving me a pity look. I mentally face-palmed myself for being so stupid.
How do you take your words back? If only I could time-travel? Wouldn't that be just nice..
"I-um, yeah.. I have for awhile?" I said, the statement coming out more like a question. I really wanted to deny it but I can't find a way how. Now I'm trapped.
Niall pat my back slowly. "Aw, Harry! That's so sad. I'm so sorry. I promise I won't tell Louis about your little crush..."
Don't say it, don't say it. Please.
"..on his girlfriend. You deserve someone much better!"
I literally want to kill myself at that exact moment for being so fucking dumb. Now Niall thought I'm in love with Eleanor, while it's the opposite. I despise her.
I just smile fakely and nod. "Uhm..Thanks Niall.." Niall smiled sheepishly. "No problem. If you have any problems. You can always tell me!"
I nod once again, muttering to myself. "Yeah. I'd rather not...." Thankfully, Niall didn't hear one bit of it.
After that, we spent the day talking and talking. We talked about everything, really. From the politics to the grandma next door to the topic of our exes, which I cringed at because back then I didn't knew I was gay, or maybe I'm bi? or I'm just louis-sexual.
Niall said he'd only dated one girl, back in Ireland. I'd only dated like 3 to 4 girls my whole life, though girls always throw themselves all over me. It's not that I'm full of myself or anything—but it's kinda the truth.
But sadly, all of the relationships I had was one-sided so..
As I hear him chattering about his exes, suddenly Niall shouted someone's name that I knew so well.
"Louis! You came!" Niall said in joy.
All I could do is hoping that it's a different Louis. Please let it be. Please.
"Hey Niall..Sorry I'm late. Was hanging out with Eleanor"
Of fucking course. It's his Louis. His Louis that always hang out with Eleanor. I'm so not ready to see him. And I don't think he does either.
Niall and Louis started chatting together, ignoring my existence. Until I fake-coughed, which caught both attention, even Louis. Of course he just saw me. I'm invisible to him.
I build up my courage to talk infront of Louis. "Um, Thank for today, Ni. But..I-I have to go"
Niall frowned. "Why? Louis just arrived! Let's hang out together" I look over to Louis, but he's just facing the floor, he doesn't even take a single glance on me. "It's fine. I just really have to do something, like—right now. So, yea. Bye Niall" I said goodbye to Niall, not bothering to say goodbye to him. If he can ignore me, then I can too.
With that said, I immeaditely get up and leave.Two can play that game, Tomlinson. I huffed, starting my car,
It won't start, what the fuck? I tried to start the engine it again, but it still won't start. I groaned. Now, how do I go home? Walk? Or do I ask Niall?
Thinking about all this started to make my head dizzy. If I asked Niall, then I'd have to meet Louis again, and boy I most definitely don't want to.
After lots of stupid ideas, I finally realizes something. Oh yeah, I can just call Niall. I started searching for my phone in my pocket.
Nothing.
It's in the fucking Starbucks.
Beside Louis.
The day couldn't get any better.
Can't wait for the next update I'm so excited to see what happens.
