Harry gets back on the first plane back home after canceling all his meetings from both sides of the companies. He didn't feel like putting on a brave face.

"How could you keep this from me?" He says stumbling into Niall's room at one am.

Liam sits up and turns on the light while Niall is still in a deep sleep, "Harry? How'd you get in here?"

"You knew too didn't you?" He says slurring his words. "Harry.. its late. Why are you here?" Liam says getting out of bed, trying to push him out the room to not wake up Niall.

"I need-" Harry hiccups while leaning against the door so Liam couldn't push him out. "I want to talk to Niall. I wanna know why he took his side."

"What happened, H? I've never seen you drunk?" The sober man chuckles trying to lighten the mood, "I don't drink much but the flight attendant offered and I accepted." He giggles as tears start streaming down his face, Liam was confused to say the least. "Harry?"

"Liam..." Harry looks at him, "Why couldn't he love me? Am I that bad of a guy?" He sobs and Liam pulls him into a tight hug.

"What's going on?"

"I-I left Louis... He doesn't love me or ever want what I want... All he says is no no no! I don't know why I bought this stupid ring! Why did I think it would be any different?"

Liam eyes widen as he moved Harry out of the way and shut the door of his boyfriends room as the man started yelling and crying louder. "What?"

"You asked Lou to Marry you?"

"No but I knew he'd say no so I left him at the restaurant. I left my boy all alone."

He sits on the floor, crying into his hands as his friend stares at him all the more confused. He goes in the room grabbing his phone and comes back before Harry would notice.

"Um how'd you know he'd say no?" He asked while texting Louis. Liam pretends to listen while Harry rambles about what happened but it didn't make any sense.

Me: Are you home?

Best friend 🤪: Yes.. Why?

Me: Just making sure... Now go back to sleep, we have a lot to talk about in the morning 😑

Best friend 🤪: I haven't been to sleep... Waiting for a call or text or him to show up at my door... 🥺 I really messed up, Li 👉👈

Me: You mean him? *photo attachment*

Louis sits up staring at the picture, feeling horrible about letting him walk away.

Best friend 🤪: Is he okay?

Me: He's fine just drunk out of his mind. What happened?

Best friend 🤪: I told him I wasn't ready for all that he wanted...

Me: It's been 2 years going on 3, how are you not ready? You love him more than anyone.. What's going on?

Best friend 🤪: Um every time I imagine making a big step I remember all that happened with Stan...

Me: For fuck sakes Louis!

Me: ITS BEEN 7 FUCKING YEARS! GET OVER THAT BULLSHIT! HARRY IS NOT STAN, HARRY LOVES YOU AND NEVER PLAYS WITH YOUR FEELINGS! IMAGINE HOW HARRY FEELS RN THINKING HE WAS THE PROBLEM!

Me: I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT STAN, AREN'T YOU?!

Louis didn't even know how to reply, Liam has never spoke to him that way.. Every time he'd bring up Stan back then he was understanding and comforted him but now that wasn't the case.

Best friend 🤪: I don't know what to say... I'm sorry..

Me: Don't apologize to me. Harry is the one hurting because of this.. I'll deal with Harry so don't worry about it.

Louis tosses his phone on the bed feeling empty, he didn't know he'd be hurting Harry this much.

A bit longer, hope you enjoyed!! 😊
