You know what? You're getting this one as well for getting over the date chapter. Not that his one is any better but still. Writing this hurt a lot though but yeah, both sides are getting more prominent and things get broken now ...

Tell me in the comments what you think :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I want details" was Sean leaning almost completely over the table in the cafeteria on Thursday.

"Okay. Well, he picked me up at seven and told me I looked stunning but damn, he looked like a dream. Anyway, he led me into this one fancy restaurant. Can't remember the name. It's down the main street of ...".

"That one is huge" interrupted Niall him impressed.

"Yeah and pretty fancy. Always thought that isn't your thing" threw Àmber in sceptically.

"Never was but what does it matter when he put so much effort into this? It was such a good meal" raved Harry gone.

"What did you eat?" Niall wanted to know eagerly. Typical for him. Only the food matters.

"No clue. I just ordered whatever sounded okay to me but it tasted alright" shrugged Harry and felt some of his friends just watching him and he didn't like that one bit. They were making a drama out of nothing. "Whatever. Afterwards, we went to watch this serial killer movie in the cinema".

"Oh, I wanted to watch that for a while. Was it good?" asked Niall excitedly.

"Um ... I can't really remember much of the story" scratched Harry his neck awkwardly.

"Probably because you had to look away the whole time. Horror movies have never been your thing" guessed Liam knowingly.

"You're not wrong but I was more focused on Jake anyway" cleared Harry his throat uneasily.

"Did you guys make out the whole time, or what?" hooked Aria jokingly and Harry turned crimson, which made all of his friends stare at him.

"No way!" exclaimed Niall loudly. "How far did you go?".

"Why do you wanna know that?" questioned Harry to get out of this situation.

"Because our baby might have lost his virginity yesterday to his long-time crush in a cinema and that's something. So?" wiggled Niall his eyebrows weirdly at him.

"Nialler, stop mocking him. They did not do it in the cinema" slapped Liam Niall's shoulder. "Right, Harry?".

"Um ...".

"Ha, I knew it!".

"Niall!" admonished Sean him because people were staring at them strangely.

"Harry, tell me you did not have sex in the cinema?" looked Liam pointedly at him and Harry just turned even redder in the face. "What the hell? On the first date? And then in a cinema, probably on the toilet? Never thought Jake could be this cruel".

"Why cruel? He was perfect" huffed Harry offended.

"That might be but it's cruel to take your v-card on your first date on a toilet. That's not very gentleman-like" explained Liam what he meant.

"No need to worry about that. Wasn't my first time" clarified Harry thoughtlessly.

"Wait, you had sex and didn't tell me?" gaped Niall at him. "With whom?".

Harry avoided the eyes of Niall and Sean and glanced over at Louis, who was silently sitting across from him. Liam, Aria and Àmber were all three staring at him in disbelief. Only Zayn tried to shield him from them while Louis looked highly uncomfortable. Right now, Harry wished he would think before he spoke sometimes.

"Does it matter? I had a great night yesterday and sex with my crush. Couldn't be better" tried Harry to drop the subject.

"And according to the way you sit it was pretty rough" snickered Niall nastily, causing Sean to slap him.

"Whatever. We should head out. They need us in the big hall" coughed Harry and stood up from the table.

Ignoring his friends, he made his way towards the big hall. Today they would all help to decorate the room for the prom dance. Well, everyone that had no course. Band rehearsals were not taking place, for example. So all of them except for Liam met up in the big hall to organize everything with the other people. Jake was there at well and directly walked over to him with a huge smile on his face.

"Hi, H. How are you today?".

"Absolutely great and you?" grinned Harry from ear to ear.

"Wonderful now that you're here" replied Jake cheesily. "Um ... and how was school? Hopefully, your friends let you breathe".

"They bombarded me with questions but it was okay. They're just curious but happy for me" reported Harry with a fast-beating heart.

"That's how it should be. Louis is okay with it too? I mean, he's your ex, after all" asked Jake and sounded pretty concerned.

"Yeah, totally fine. We're better as friends anyway" reassured Harry him without really thinking about his words.

"Okay. Look, I have to go over there now. But we see each other later" pecked Jake Harry's cheek before he walked over to his friends.

Touching the spot where Jake had kissed him, Harry walked back to his friends. Sean and Niall were playfully mocking him but couldn't stop their happy smiles. High on love, Harry started to take over his tasks he had to do and like this, the last hour passed by very quickly and, in the end, they stayed longer than needed. By now, Liam was back with them and almost everyone else has left apart from them and Jake and Kyle.

"Haz, can you hold the ladder for me? I have to g ...".

"Sure thing, Louis" cut Harry him off and took a hold of the ladder, letting Louis climb up on it.

While Louis was doing his thing Harry and Jake were making weird faces at each other, causing both of them to giggle quietly. At one point, Jake pointed with his finger obviously at Harry and then at himself before making a dancing movement with his arms and mouthed the word prom over to Harry. His eyes grew big; no huge, and he vividly nodded his head with a big grin. Jake sent him a beaming smile and Harry couldn't help his happy dance to come through a tiny bit. Amusedly, Jake watched him and Harry blushed at that, bumping with his arm against something and only hearing gasps behind him but he was too focused on Jake to care.

"Harry, what the fuck!" grabbed Liam him by the shoulder and turned him around to them.

Glancing from Liam over to his other friends, Harry noticed Louis lying on the ground holding his ankle with Zayn by his side, looking concerned and angry at the same time. Aria and Àmber were glaring at him while Niall andSean looked pretty lost. In the distance, he heard a door close and just knew they were all alone now.

"What's the matter?" shrugged Harry Liam's hands off his shoulders.

"Are you seriously asking this? You were supposed to hold the ladder and not knock it over! You pushed your best friend of the fucking ladder although he has a game tomorrow and is now injured. God damn it, Harry" was Liam furious.

"It wasn't on purpose. Just an accident. Chill, Lima Bean" held Harry his hands up in defence.

"Don't tell me to chill. Fucking apologise to Louis" ordered Liam peeved.

"Don't really know why but fine. Louis, I'm sorry. It wasn't on purpose" apologised Harry half-heartedly, watching Zayn helping Louis up completely unbothered.

"Doesn't really sound like you mean it. Do you care at all?" asked Zayn him upset.

"Don't get on my nerves now, Zayn. I apologised even though it's nothing. Be happy with it" rolled Harry his eyes at him.

"Nothing? You mean this is nothing?" spoke Louis up now and pointed at his obviously injured ankle. "I have a fucking game tomorrow and it's very important and my last one. How can you be so careless? Holding a ladder is not that complicated".

"What was more important anyway?" wanted Zayn to know.

"Jake asked me out to prom," told Harry them all with a big grin.

"Wow, Hazza, that's am ...".

"That's all?" cut Zayn Niall off riled up. "You let your best friend down and hurt him in the process because of that jerk?".

"Hey, don't talk about Jake like this. He is amazing and just asked me out and I'm really happy about this. I already said sorry and c'mon, it's not that bad. He can still stand" defended Harry his crush directly.

"You do see that hand on my waist, right? Zayn is literally holding me up" remarked Louis bitterly.

"He is only using this opportunity to get back in your pants after you cheated on him. That's the only thing he wants" shot Harry back surely.

"Says the one fucking on the toilet on his first date. A classy move" was Louis not having any of it.

"You have no right to be jealous, Louis. Just because you took my virginity you have no claim on me. I love Jake and not you. Well, be happy you were able to use me once to know how it feels because you will never have it again" said Harry accusingly in a dark voice.

"I never used you. You fucking forced me into this with your mind games. Don't put this on me now. We both fucked up. And just to make this clear, I don't even want it again. Never wanted it in the first place" clarified Louis in a hurt voice.

"Yeah, sure" snorted Harry disbelievingly.

"Not everyone wants to fuck you. Some people deeply care about you" chipped Zaynin incensed.

"I don't need his caring. I'm with Jake and he asked me to prom. Those are the facts. Get this in your brains. I don't want you, Louis. Not in this life. Clear enough?" cleared Harry up once and for all. He was so done with this jealousy act.

"Crystal" mumbled Louis quietly.

"Do you have to hurt him like this?" was Zayn suddenly in his face.

"Gosh, chill" groaned Harry annoyed.

"Don't tell me to chill when you just purposely hurt your best friend and made him feel like shit and that for nothing. Friends come first. Jake shouldn't be your first priority. What about Louis?" flared Zayn's nostrils.

"I'm not into him. Why can't you understand that?" was Harry losing his patience.

"Oh, we got this but that's not the point right now. Why does Jake interest you more than Louis' injured ankle, which is still your fault?" snapped Zayn angrily at him.

"Don't make drama where there is n ...".

"He is right, Harry" cut Louis him off in a neutral voice. "You always told Javy what great friends were are but I can't see that right now. You literally don't give a shit".

"About this? It's ridiculous. Why can't you all let me enjoy my moment with Jake?" niggled Harry without understanding for his annoying friends.

"Why is Jake so much more important than me?!" exclaimed Louis desperately. "I'm your best friend. I've always been there for you, was always by your side. Since we were little kids but you keep on hurting me because of him, Harry. Can't you see what's happening right now? You're only hurting me. God, damn it! Stop being so ignorant and open your eyes. Look around! I'm the one who always built you up and encouraged you to be who you want to be. I dried your tears, not Jake. Harry, I loved you first and not Jake. He didn't even care about you before you dated me".

Emotionlessly, Harry looked at his life-long best friend, who had tears on his face. His words only made him even angrier than before. How could Louis say those things and mean them? He had no right to come at him like this.

"It's not my fault you like me and have to watch someone else making me happy, Louis. You can't hold that against me. I just don't love you. Deal with it. You're being ridiculous. You told me to look around but have you done the same? You just ruined our whole friendship because of your stupid feelings. You should have kept them in but now you destroyed everything" stood Harry his ground.

"You did not just say that. You're unbelievable. How can you even ...".

"Javy, let it be" held Louis Zayn back before he turned back around to face Harry. "You're right. Our friendship is ruined. But not because of me and it wasn't ruined today. It was ruined from the moment you started using me for your own good and stopped caring about anyone else except for yourself. I just failed to see it sooner. Have fun feeling like the centre of the universe, Harry. Hopefully Jake is worth losing everything we had".

"Are you fucking serious? I w ...".

"Just don't. Give it a rest" stopped Zayn him from talking while steadying Louis by the waist on their way to the door.

"I'm so done with you" shook Liam his head and followed his friends out the door.

"I kept quiet for so long because Louis asked me to but now I have no reason to spare you. You deserve to lose him because you treated him like shit since this whole fake dating thing had started. Louis deserves more than you and you don't deserve my words" spoke Àmber up, who had watched everything with Aria holding her back and in place.

"She stole my words, Harry. Have fun with Jake as long as it lasts" sighed Aria heavily and then dragged Àmber with her out of the big hall.

"You wanna say something too?" threw Harry his two remaining friends Sean and Niall an annoyed look.

"Just that you should really try to fix this. Louis is your best friend" was the only thing Sean had to say.

"Well, not anymore. We haven't been friends for a while" shrugged Harry indifferent.

"And you really had sex?" tried Niall to process this part of the information.

"We were drunk. Don't ask" waved Harry it off.  "And now I'm gonna go and get my suit ready for prom".

Without another word, he left them standing there and walked home. He crept past his mother into his room and locked the door. He didn't need a lecture from her for anything. She would do that the next chance she got anyway. But what she didn't know was what actually happened. She will only get to know about Louis' point of view through Johanna. That wasn't fair.

Why was no one on his side? Well, Niall and Sean didn't say anything bad but everyone else was pissed at him thanks to Louis. Louis, who couldn't keep his feelings in and let his jealousy destroy their friendship. And now Harry should pay for it? Just because he didn't want to fuck Louis again? Because he wanted Jake and not Louis? Wasn't really Harry'sfault.  

Friday morning Harry was baffled, to say the least. He had expected his mother to put him to talk but she didn't. She wasn't even acting strange towards him. She seemed happy and relaxed and that was really weird. Eyeing his mother suspiciously, Harry ate his breakfast and then got ready for school.

"Have a great day, Darling" hugged Bella him tightly.

"Love you, Mum" kissed Harry her cheek.

On his way to school Harry kept asking himself why his mother didn't kill him yet for supposedly ruining his friendship with Louis although it wasn't really his fault. Shouldn't Jay have told her everything already after Louis had cried his eyes out to his mother like the mommy's boy he actually was deep inside? It was a mystery to Harry.

In school, Harry felt cornered. He had every class with Louis today but luckily, they were never alone. First was PC together with Sean. To his utter surprise, Louis wasn't sitting in his usual spot. He was sitting far away from Sean and Harry, who didn't know how to feel right now. This cold between them kept getting colder and bigger during their English lesson. Zayn had swapped places with Louis so he didn't have to sit right next to Harry because the teacher would never allow more than that. He felt Liam, Aria and Àmber watching him dirtily as well and Harry was very thankful to have Sean and Niall by his side. They were smart enough to see that Harry wasn't in the wrong.

P.E was still better than Lunch Break. During sports he couldn't run away but at lunch he could and he did. Harry, Sean and Niall were sitting alone at their table. Harry couldn't even see Louis and the others anywhere and he didn't like that at all. Maybe they had had that stupid fight and Louis couldn't control his crush but that didn't mean they had to act like this. They have been friends for too long to behave this childishly.

"Is Maya busy?" checked Sean carefully.

"Yeah, she um ... has some documents and um ... Kayla is helping her" stumbled Niall over his words.

"I understand. Prom will be your night, Nialler" rubbed Sean Niall's back soothingly.

"I hope so" sighed Niall out sadly.

"Did someone say prom?" appeared Jake at their table.

"Jake, Hi. What are you doing here?" looked Harry up at him.

"Do I need a reason to see my boyfriend?" sat Jake down with a grin next to Harry.

"Boyfriend?" stared Harry at him in shock.

"Duh, isn't that obvious? We had sex, H. Didn't think I need to ask you like in middle school" nudged Jake his side.

"Jake" whined Harry embarrassed.

"This is gold" cackled Niall entertained.

"Thanks. H, where are your other friends?" asked Jake confused.

"Um ..." had Harry no idea how to explain this without admitting everything.

"They don't necessarily want to be here at the moment. Louis and ...".

"They have a special ritual before a game to calm Louis down" cut Harry Sean off pointedly.

"Oh yeah. It's a game today. You're going?" checked Jake curiously.

"I don't know if I sh ...".

"I think we should go. Support your bestie and all" decided Jake excitedly.

"Okay, if you want to".

Like this, Harry found himself sitting on the bleachers with Jake at the last football game of the year. Niall and Sean were by his side but the other guys were there as well to support Louis, who was apparently still playing with his injury. Then it couldn't be too bad. Louis has always been a baby when it came to pain. No chance he would play when he was actually hurt for real.

"Didn't expect you to show up after what you did" addressed Zayn him in a bitter voice.

"I didn't do anything. He is looking quite healthy to me" crossed Harry his arms over his chest.

"And why shouldn't he be here? It's his best friend's last football game before Uni. Good enough reason to be there" quipped Jake in cluelessly.

"This one time I agree with you, Bafort. A best friend should be there for support. Always" said Zayn pointedly before facing back to the field.

"Jerk" hissed Harry under his breath, knowing Zayn worded his answer like this on purpose.

"Don't even start this, Harry. Zayn did nothing wrong in this scenario. He has been by Tommo's side when you haven't been. Don't piss at him before making it better yourself" whispered Liam over to him disappointedly.

"I'm gonna go and get a hot dog. You want some, H?" stood Jake up but Harry shook his head.

"What is your problem, Liam? It's not my fault I don't return his feelings. He doesn't have to act like this now" faced Harry his friend again, if he could still call him that.

"I know you can't change that but you can change your behaviour towards him. You used him for weeks and didn't even notice how you were playing with his heart" noted Liam like he knew everything.

"I didn't play with this h ...".

"Oh really?" cut Liam him directly off. "So, you did not beg him to fuck you at Àmber's party to get rid of your v-card because of Jake? You did not trick him into giving in after he rejected your offer by saying you would find a stranger downstairs, knowing you would get him like this because of the way Louis cares about you? And you did not kiss him after he told you about his feelings and never explained this, just to literally crash his heart two days later without a warning? And you did not carelessly caused his accident yesterday because of Jake again and now he is playing injured, which could cause serious damage? And I won't even mention everything else. Those incidents are worse enough" listed Liam everything that was pissing him off about the situation.

"I um ... I only kissed him to make him shut up because I couldn't hear my own thoughts and um ... I ... he just helped me out with my v ..." was Harry looking for an explanation that would satisfy Liam.

"Of course, he did. You know him longer than I do. You should know he would do everything to help you, no matter what it is as long as you don't get hurt" cut Liam him off again in a sad voice.

"I know" mumbled Harry softly.

"Well, those times are over now. You lost him" shrugged Liam, signalling this conversation was over.

"I didn't ...".

"I still brought you something. I hope you don't mind" came Jake back over to him with two hot dogs in his hand.

"No. Thanks, Jake" took Harry the hot dog.

"Ignorant prick" muttered Àmber under her breath but Harry heard it and glared at her.

"Not ignorant. Caring" grumbled Harry into her direction.

"He doesn't even know you're vegetarian" countered Àmber cockily.

"I never told him" shot Harry back quietly.

"Because you only fuck" snorted Àmber annoyed.

"Just leave me alone" huffed Harry angrily.

"Everything alright, H?" checked Jake concerned.

"Yeah. Sure" forced Harry a smile onto his face.

Jake bought it and focused on the game, which was so weird to Harry because he was used to Jake and Louis hating each other and now he was supporting him. Well, at least one of them could put the bad feelings aside to focus on the more important things. Jake was definitely more mature than Louis and most of Harry's former friends. If they couldn't be happy for him Harry didn't need them. Least of all, Louis.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So yeah, things were said and this had consequences. Is there a way to fix this mess? 

The part with the game was supposed to be in the next chapter but then I realised the next chapter was way too short and I put it into this. No idea if I keep it like this but for now that's it. 

Please vote and get ready for the next chapter ...
