Chapter 23
                          
Harry's POV 
                          
I woke up with Louis's arms still wrapped around me, and the sound of the tv buzzing, Niall always forgets to shut it off every.single.time. I carefully removed Louis's arms, and got up and turned off the tv,  I was careful not to step on Liam's head on my way back to the couch, he and Niall were asleep on the floor, and Zayn was in the recliner with a blanket on  him. I smiled to myself as I laid down on the couch, "Lou?" I whispered tapping on his shoulder. 
                          
"hmm?" 
                          
"Are you awake?" 
                          
"I am now" he sighed, sitting up, rubbing his forehead. "Are you ok?"
                          
"Yeah m fine..tired is all" I yawned, rubbing my eyes. 
                          
"Want me to hold you?" Louis asked, nervously. 
                          
Of course Louis, I'd love that more than anything..
                          
"ok" I nodded. He sat up, and spread his legs apart and pulled me closer, I rested my head on his chest, and then poked his nose. 
                          
"Hey, what was that for?" He pouted, poking me back.  I grinned and then yawned again, man was I tired..I don't know how late we stayed up, Zayn had fallen asleep first, then Niall and Liam and Louis. I couldn't sleep for a while though, I just laid there thinking. 
                          
"Harry?" Louis said, poking me. 
                          
"Oh, yeah? Sorry, didn't hear you" I said, shaking myself out of my thoughts.
                          
"Rude. You just weren't listening" Louis pouted, sticking out his bottom lip.
                          
"Louuuu, what is it?"
                          
"I just...and don't get mad at me, but...can I see?" He mumbled, quietly, glancing at my arm. 
                          
I hesitated, "erm...ok...but it's not like they healed over night you knight you know" I sighed, allowing him to roll up my sleeves. 
                          
"You wanna go in our room? Or is out here ok?" 
                          
"It's fine as long as they don't wake up.." 
                          
Louis nodded and inspected my arm, he brought it to his lips and kisses my wrist, then looked at me, tearing up, which caused me to do the same.
                          
"Don't cry over me Lou...you shouldn't have to put up with this, I'm sorry...you can go back to Eleanor's if you'd like....I understand" 
                          
Louis looked at me strangely  and shook his head, "no way, you need me right now, Eleanor will have to wait"
                          
I didn't say anything, but Louis has no idea how happy that made me, he chose ME over Eleanor, I-I just can't believe he'd do that...I mean..he loves her, I know he'd rather spend his time with her, but instead he chose me.
                          
"Lou...I-I'm sorry you have to put up with me, it's fine if you want-"
                          
"Nope, you can't change my mind, I'm staying  with you" 
                          
A smile spread across my face as snuggled next to Louis. Right now, everything was perfect, I wish it could stay that way, and I wish I could tell Louis I love him...but he made it very clear to me that he loves Eleanor...why he would want me anyways when he has her? I'm just his...friend  nothing more...
