Two weeks later Louis was going back to school and honestly he was pretty excited. Also he can officially walk without crutches now which is great even if he's slightly slower than normally but the doctors think he's making great progress. Louis got dressed in his school uniform and headed downstairs to grab some breakfast. Niall and Harry are walking with him to school because they wanted to which Louis was more than happy about.Spending more time with Harry sounded great; he really enjoyed their friendship. He was also happy to see Eleanor but at the same time not because she had been distant and hadn't reached out to him since before his surgery which was two weeks ago so he doesn't really know where their relationship stands. The best thing is he has music for his first lesson and the boys had come round after school almost everyday of the two weeks he was off so they could practice their song which is nearly finished but still needs some tweaks.
Louis ate his slices of toast before hearing the knock at the door grabbing his school stuff and saying goodbye to his mum. Harry, Louis and Niall walked the whole way to school just chatting about the randomest of things and Niall spent it just eating but surprisingly didn't get a stitch. They arrived and headed inside the building.
"Guys I'm gonna see if I can catch El at her locker but I'll see you in music" Louis said waving goodbye to Harry and Niall. Louis walked towards El's locked which is around the corner to his and luckily she was there. She didn't notice him as he was walking behind her but she shut her locker door and was face to face with Stan one of the fellow football players. Louis heard her giggle and it stopped him right in my tracks. She then gave him a peck as they walked hand in hand to form. Louis couldn't believe his eyes. He had only been gone for two weeks and his girlfriend was cheating on him with one of his own mates. He was so upset he just walked into form and didn't speak to anyone not even Zayn or Liam. They questioned him about it but he still didn't answer them. He was just so glad that he didn't have sex with Eleanor because she was obviouly not his special someone nor tell her that he's bi because that would have made the situation worse than it already is.
Form finally finished and Louis headed to music still mad and sad. He sat down at the table slumped and put his head in his hands. What did he do to deserve this? He felt more presence at the table which he knew were the other boys.
"Lou are you alright?" he heard Harry ask and he kept my head in my hands. He then heard Liam and Zayn telling him that they didn't know what was wrong either and the next thing Louis knew, he was being dragged out of the classroom. He finally looked up to see he was outside the classroom and round the corner with Harry.
"Lou please tell me what's wrong?" Harry said looking really concerned
"I just..." I choked out feeling the lump in my throat. "It's El"
"What happened?"
"I-I-I saw her and Stan kiss and hold hands down the corridor" Louis said now well aware he was crying. "I'm sorry you must think I'm an idiot for crying about it it's just she was the first person I'd ever been with and I thought it was special but I guess not" he added feeling the tears roll down his face.
"Hey hey look I don't think you're an idiot for crying about it. You are crying in a cool way Lou and I'm sorry about El but everything happens for a reason you know. Maybe the universe was saying you deserve better. " Harry said, being the optimist he is.
"I guess you're right, thanks Haz I really appreciate it" Louis said, wrapping his arms around Harry and giving him a big hug. It lasted for a while actually and then Louis pulled away. "Sorry I just love a good hug" Harry said while blushing in embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it hugs are good now let's go and practice our song" Louis said while Harry still had a rosy tint
"That's the spirit BooBear" Harry cheered, surprisingly Louis only rolled his eyes at the nickname and didn't give him a slap because he actually didn't mind it coming out of his mouth. They headed back inside the classroom and got stuck into the work without the other lads questioning it.
"So what should the next line be?" Zayn asked
"Everyone else in the room can see it. Everyone else but you" Harry suggested
"You know what that actually works nicely well done Hazza" Louis said ruffling the curls on his head. "Then here I think it should be 'if only you saw what I could see' as it links to Harry's point"
"We should totally start a band," Niall said randomly, which left the others in silence. "Think about it. We're great singers and songwriters so it could work" They all ended up nodding in agreement.
"So we're a band now?"
"Guess so huh we should write some more songs and have a name"
"One Direction," Harry said after a few minutes of silence. "What? We can only go in one direction and that's up or down but hopefully up"
"That's smart" Louis said which got a proud smile from Harry
"One direction it is then" they all nodded
"3...2...1... One direction!"
