Shoot For My Heart (Larry)

Chapter Four

Harry couldn't stop replaying the encounter him and Louis had over and over in his head. He was so embarrassed and wished he could go back and make that piece of paper stay firmly placed inside his notebook. But deep down harry felt a kind of relief that they had spoken. He wasn't thrilled that the hottest guy he's ever met possibly thinks he's a stalker, but then if he was actually weirded out by the drawing why did he ask for Harry's name?

Harry stumbled along the wet footpath. It had just rained all through school and now Harry was off to work. Harry worked at the local Bakery, it was about a ten minute walk away from his school and about 30 minutes from his house.Harry didn't mind the days he had to walk to and from work, at least it was quiet without George screaming and honking at any car he got the chance to.

'Ding'
The door flew open as Harry strutted into the small building he had worked at for 2 years. The warm smell of fresh bread filled his body as he sniffed it in.
"Afternoon Margaret"
Said Harry with a cheerful smile.
"Hello Harry"
Margret said running over and giving harry a pinch on the bum. Harry chuckled and grabbed an apron off the hook. He was a hard worker and extremely friendly to every customer that came through, just like the rest off the old ladies he had the pleasure of working with. Harry enjoyed it there. Although he was working, the little shop gave the teenager peace and serenity before he had to resume being surrounded by the extroverts known as his family.

Harry's shift wrapped up quickly and soon he was on his stroll home. The rain had stopped and far in the distance of the English country side Harry could make out a faded rainbow. Harry distracted his mind thinking about the beauty of the puddle filled road being hit with small rays of sun peaking out from the dull clouds. But sooner or later the brown haired boy would pop into his head and he'd be consumed by his fascination once again.

Louis pondered the thought of what would happen if he were to make a move on Harry. He knew that it would have to stay a secret no matter what, he cared about football more than anything and it could never come out that Hall Cross' team captain was a fag. His football career would soon be over and he had no idea if people would ever treat him the same again. Not to mention he didn't have a clue what Harry's relation to the Eastwood team was because he clearly didn't play. Louis was terrified by every aspect of his crush and wished he could change everything about himself right there and then. But Harry, Harry wouldn't leave his mind and it made him furious.

Weeks were passing and neither Harry or Louis had seen each other since their first conversation. Louis' ego was growing bigger and bigger everyday as he began to resent himself for his sexuality. The halls of Hall Cross academy were constantly a parade of the popular Louis Tomlinson yelling and making homophobic jokes to every jock that went past. Of course the guys found it hilarious but all Louis could feel behind his huge personality was pain.

"Louis! You ready to kick Eastwood's ass next week?"
Liam had run up and caught Louis in the hallway just before 5th period.
"Hell yeah man! Who do those fags think they are anyway?"
Louis responded. Liam chuckled and put his arm around Louis' shoulder.
"We're going to kill em man and in celebration I'm throwing a huge party afterwards so we can all get two huge wins that day if you know what I mean."
Liam was pretty much a sex addict and it was his #1 mission to get Louis laid before the end of the season. Louis and Liam laughed and continued chatting till the second bell where they were forced to leave each other.
"See you later man!"
"Bye"
The two wandered in different directions to their last class of the day.
