Chapter 20: Decisions
(Louis' P.O.V.)
I checked the clock next to my bed and noticed that the time was almost midnight. It had been such a magical night! Eva was such a gorgeous girl, every about her screamed 'vibe'. I couldn't put my finger on it. No matter how many times I tried to figure out what it was I never could. Just something about her made her so special. She was on my mind ever since we met at the airport. I'd tried to be friendly and it looked like it had finally paid off. Our date tonight was amazing! It was such a great night. I tossed and turned in bed trying to sleep but still had too much adrenaline from the previous few hours.
I shut my eyes and promised not to open them until tomorrow morning, hoping I'd soon fall asleep. I heard a door creak open and couldn't help but sit up in my bed. I sat in bed for a while, my ears listening for any noise. I didn't hear anything, just about to go back to sleep I heard quiet whispers.
"Just wait here." It was a male voice. A voice I knew all too well, it was Harry.
I climbed out of bed and crept up to my door. It was open just enough for me to peep my eyes through the gap and see what was going on. I saw two figures in the darkness, then one disappeared on the other side of the door. There was a loud flick of a light switch, normally it wouldn't have been so loud but in the silence it sounded like a gunshot.
Soon the door opened slightly and the second figure joined him on the other side. What was going on? Why was Eva going into Harry's room?
"Calm down Lou, I'm sure there's a perfect explanation." I thought calmly to myself as I left my room and with stealth approached Harry's bedroom door.
I leant my ear against it and listened to their conversation.
"Harry, this is amazing! I can't believe you did this for me." I heard Eva say, she sounded like she was crying. Or at the very least sobbing. I wanted to barge through the door and hold her in my arms. What on Earth was going on! The throbbing in my stomach only got worse and worse as I stayed listening to them.
Soon I figured out what had happened. While me and Eva were out on our date Harry had turned his room into a miniature museum of Australia, Eva sounded so thankful as she spoke to him, her voice still shaking though.
I sank onto the floor, a building pit filling my core. Never had I even considered doing that for Eva. Sure I tried to be romantic, funny, intrigued her and convinced her to go out with me on a date, but never could I have made her as happy as Harry did then and there.
I'd known Harry for quite some time know, it had been a while. He was my bestest friend, a brother really. Usually though he'd flirt with anything that was female and had two legs. I was extremely impressed by his attempts to woo Eva throughout the day though. I never knew he could be so romantic. The way Eva looked at him, I saw them in the car to and from the restaurant. They thought no one had noticed their private conversations, whispering to each other, but I had. At first I was jealous, that's why I decided to make a move for Eva before I completely lost all chances. I thought she would deny me though, being too in love with Harry.
But she agreed, and I had the best date of my life. But now there she was with Harry, in his room.
I made my way back to my room and fell onto the bed. I knew what I had to do. I had to let Eva go. She was the most perfect girl I'd ever met, but she was destined to be with Harry. The way they acted around each other, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that they were madly in love. I sighed as I let go of all the memories from tonight. No longer would I allow myself to feel that way about Eva, I smiled as I thought of her, realising now that she was more of a sister. A younger sister that I loved and cared for. I'd always be there for her, just in a different way to before. Relentlessly I closed my eyes, thinking about the day to come ahead.
