I'd Do Anything to Hold Your Hand

Ally's POV

I've been debating with myself on whether or not I should tell Harry why for a while now. I really wanted too, I just wasn’t sure how he was going to react. It wasn’t exactly the best reason. But if I hadn’t done it then he wouldn't be with Louis. Believe me when I say that Louis makes him happier than I ever did when we were together, I mean it.

"Babe, I'm gonna go talk to Harry real quick okay?"

"Oh, I'll come with you. Give me a second." He said putting on his shirt.

I walked over and kissed him a very light kiss.

"Umm, could I just go by myself, there’s something I want to talk to him about."

"Ohh.. Okay, yea that’s fine."

I could sense he was hurt. Not bad but just enough.I kissed him again, and smiled before walking down the hall way to Harry's room.

Harry had given me a key to his room, I told him he didn’t have to but he insisted. I knocked first, just to make sure nothing was going on. I didn’t want to walk in on anything. No one answered. I knocked again, and waited. Still no answer. I slide the card into the slot and opened the door.

"Harry....?"

Harry's POV

Harry wasn’t exactly sure why he froze the way he did. He thought it was Louis who was coming back.

"Harry?"

He heard her call for him again.

"I’m in here." He shouted tying the towel around his waist, and unlocking the door.

He nearly walked right into his Ally when he walked out of the bathroom.

"Oh, Harry I’m sorry. I’ll come back." she said turning around.

Harry grabbed her wrist, “No, Ally its fine; just let me put some boxers on."

"Okay." she said quietly, it looked like her lips had moved and nothing came out.

It didn’t take long for Harry to put boxers, and some pants on. Ally just sat on the sofa until Harry came out of the bedroom.

"Ally are you still here?" Harry shouted.

"Yea in here." Ally shouted back.

Harry walked out of the bedroom, hair dripping with water down his chest and back.

"Is everything okay, Ally? You look worried?" Harry said sitting down putting his socks on.

"Yea, I just wanted to talk to you about something." Ally said looking down at her hands on her lap.

"Ally? What is it?" Harry said picking her head up with his hand, so he could see her eyes. They were almost as blue as Louis'.

"Well, if we’re going to have to be all lovey dovey for the cameras and everything I figured I should tell you why ." She said looking into his forest green eyes.

Harry knew what she was talking about. Did he want to know? Of course he wanted to know if had been killing him for years.

"Ally, you really don’t have to tell me. I know how you don’t like talking about it. It’s fine really." Harry lied.

"No, Harry I have to tell you, it’s only the right thing. Especially with the way our lives are going."

"What do you mean?" Harry said very confused.

"Well, you and Louis are obviously soul mates and I envy you both for that so much. You’re the perfect couple, and I just want you guys to me happy, that’s why I’m doing this. And well, I’m slowly falling for the Irish freak down the hall, but you already know that. So I think it’s only fair that you know why." She said grabbing his hand.

"Ally, real-" he started but she cut him off.

"Harry, I loved you, no I was in love with you, and I’m almost sure you were in love with me too. But I knew once you went on the X Factor that you were going to be something. I never knew it would come to this level, but I just knew you would. And I didn’t want to hold you down when that fame came to you. And I know this isn’t the best or most valid reason why people break up, but I really felt that it was at the time. And look at it this way if we never did then you might not be with Louis, and I wouldn’t be with that Leprechaun." A tear slid down her cheek when she was finished.

Harry took his thumb and wiped the tear from her face. He looked into her eyes; they reminded him so much of Louis' it was incredible. Why hadn’t he never noticed the similarity before. He didn’t even think before the next thing he did.

He leaned in and kissed his bestfriend, his first real love, and now his cover. It was a kiss that was long overdue. The last kiss they both needed for closure. They had both gotten over each other long ago but it still felt right. Everything they went through together flashed in his head.

When he pulled away, she gasped like she had seen a ghost. She was shocked. Surprised. In Awe.

Ally's POV

OH MY GOD. Harry just kissed me. He JUST KISSED ME.

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Why would he do that? He’s in love with Louis, I was slowly falling for Niall. He knew both of these things, so why.

My mind was racing, but I couldn’t help but stare into his eyes, that I fell for only a few years ago. I- I think I wanted more. Another kiss? No I can’t do this to Louis, and especially not to Niall.

I guess I didn’t have a choice because Harry was leaning in again.

Harry's POV

His mind was going a mile a minute. He didn’t realise how much he missed her kisses. No he didn’t, this was just an in the moment thing. He was in love with Louis not Ally.

He didn’t know what do, but she was just staring at him. He wanted another one.

One last kiss. Just.. one... last .. kiss.

He leaned and in and kissed again, making sure it was the best kiss that they had ever shared together. The last kiss had to be the best right? He guesses this was somewhat of good practice or the media, like a warm up.

He couldn’t stop himself, he was getting deeper into the kiss, and his 16 year old self was taking over. He took her by her lower back, sliding her so she was lying down. He was hovering over her, staring into her eyes. Those blue eyes...

"One last time.." he whispered kissing her neck. He knew, he remembered everything that she loved.

“Harry, we shouldn’t..." she started to say, but was stopped by his lips.

Just. One. More. Kiss. was all he could think.

Ally's POV

This wasn’t right. We shouldn’t be doing this, was all that was going through my mind, but I couldn’t stop, I had missed his kisses, or maybe my 16 year old self missed his kisses. I don’t know, honestly.

He said, one last time. I believed him. So I let him kiss me. I tried to stop him once but he stopped me, with a kiss.

This was going to be the last time so I made it last. I guess this was what I had needed, as a final closure. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him in closer.Everything we ever did together was running like a movie in my head.

I started to think that this was like practice, like we had to start to get used to it again, for media purposes. I started smiling and laughing in the middle of the kiss we were having. That made Harry smile.

We stopped then, I started dying laughing, and I couldn’t stop.

"Harry, what are we doing?" I asked threw our laughter.

"Ya know, Ally I don’t even know but that was well needed." Harry said helping me back up into a sitting position.

"It was. Well we'll be good for the media that’s for sure." I said.

We both heard the door opening, and saw Louis a few a seconds later with a tray of Starbucks. We shared a look of 'don’t speak of this to anyone'. The same look we shared the day we decided to not talk about our relationship. Looks like that secret was exchanged for this one.

I gave Harry a kiss on the cheek, walked over to Louis grabbed the Vanilla Frappe from the tray, kissed his cheek and yelled "Thanks BOO!" as I skipped out of the room and down the hall to my Leprechaun.

Harry's POV

"What’s up with her?" Louis said handing Harry his drink.

"She's just really happy." He said smiling and taking a sip of his iced coffee.

"Oh really? And what’s gotten into you Mr. Smiles ?" Louis replied.

Harry nearly choked on his drink. "Mr. Smiles? Really Louis? Really?"

They both started dying laughing.

"So I see you took a shower. Why didn’t you wait for me?" Louis said giving Harry his cheeky eyebrow raise he did.

Harry put his drink down, grabbed Louis' right from his lips and set it next to his.

"Well, I can make up for it." Harry said moving in closer to Louis.

Ally's kisses were so much different than Louis'. Ally's were so 'young', maybe because they were together when they were younger, maybe that’s why Harry felt that way, but that was the best way he could describe it. Louis' were just amazing all around in every way. His lips were always smooth and warm and just UGH.

Harry picked up Louis. Louis wrapped his legs around Harry and they went over to the bed.

"Harry, I said you took a shower without me, not a nap." Louis said taking off his shirt to show his golden skin underneath it.

Harry kicked off his shoes, pick up Louis, and made his way to the bathroom.
