I Love to Hate You
Chapter 22
At around midnight, I decided to call it a night. I grabbed my bag from the back of the club and walked out to get a cab, since I didn't want to talk in the rain. 
I didn't have much luck though, and I ended up walking home in the pouring rain anyways. I put the hood of my sweatshirt up and crossed my arms around my chest, trying to stay warm. It was dark out, as it usually is during this time of night. I should have taken my car tonight, I know. 
As I passed under a street light, I was pretty sure I saw a figure behind me. When I turned around though, nobody was there. That's weird. I continued walking, but had my cell phone out and was ready to call someone if anything else suspicious happened. I heard something drop. I turned around as fast as I could and saw a cell phone lying on the ground under the street light I just passed seconds ago. It wasn't there before. I saw a shadow walk out from behind a nearby tree and screamed. When I saw who it was though, I was able to calm down a little bit. 
"Harry Styles! What are you doing? Why were you following me?!" I asked, my eyes wide. My heartbeat was returning back to its normal pace. 
"I wanted to suprise you!" he said, walking over to give me a hug. I hugged him back, glad that I didn't have to walk all alone in the dark anymore. 
"You don't have an umbrella either?" I asked, as we continued walking. 
"Nah, I left it with Lou and Niall." he said, his hands in his pockets. 
"So, how does it feel to finally be back in England?" he asked. 
"Weird. I don't know what I expected, but this wasn't it." I admitted. 
"Why? What's wrong?" he asked, and I was going to tell him. 
"I just-I wanted everything to be the way it was before. When everything was going good for like, a day. When Liam and I kissed, and had something there. But now he's with Lilly, and I can't even talk to him." I confessed. 
"Why can't you talk to him?" he asked, confused. 
"Because Lilly told me not to. I get the feeling that she doesn't like me." I said. 
"Ah. Well, if it makes you feel any better, she doesn't like any of us either." 
"She seems rude. Why do you guys put up with her?" I asked.
"Well, we just hope she's nothing serious. We kinda of want Liam to end things with her. And can I let you in on a secret?" he asked, whispering. 
"Sure, what's up?" I asked, kind of curious as to what Harry was going to say. 
"We all want you and Liam to get together. Even Zayn." he said, winking at me. 
"Yeah, well let me tell you a little secret. I want to get together with Liam too." 
"Tomorrow is his and Lilly's eight month anniversary." Harry told me. 
"Why are you telling me this, if it's only going to upset me?" I asked. 
"Because I lied about the secret eariler. But this one is true." he said. 
"What? Tell me!" I begged, dying to know. 
"Okay. Well, when Liam started dating Lilly, he told us that if you didn't come back before his eight month anniversary, then he would give up on you. But you're back. Which means...." Harry trailed off, letting me figure out the rest. 
"B-but Liam doesn't know I'm back. And it's already tomorrow." I said, glancing at my watch. 12:17 am. 
"Go to the coffee shop at nine thirty. Don't ask, just go." Harry told me. 
"Fine. But will you walk me home? I don't need creeps following me on this dark and rainy night." I said, sticking my tongue out at him.
"Of course." he said, putting his arm around me and walking me back to my flat. 
I wonder what's going to happen at the coffee shop tomorrow...
