Life Happens

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

When Harry sees Louis next, it’s in the changing rooms, walking slowly towards the coach’s office, a reluctant and forced calm look on his face. Harry stops in his tracks to stare at his boyfriend for a moment, causing Niall to run into him.

“Haz!” The blond exclaims as he starts to fall but Liam catches his arm in time, rolling his eyes before helping the blue eyed boy to his feet.

“What’s Lou doing?” Zayn asks quietly, starting to take off his shirt to get changed into a singlet and shorts for football/soccer training, keeping his eyes on the brown-haired lad on the other side of the room. Louis knocks on the door before stepping into the office, closing the door behind him.

“Whatever it is, it doesn’t look good. Did you see his face?” Liam says, frowning worriedly and Harry swallows thickly.

“I can’t believe I yelled at him like that. I’m such an idiot.” Harry mumbles, starting to change slowly as Niall claps him on the shoulder.

“He’ll forgive you. You two always get back together.” The Irishman reassures him and Harry runs his hand through his curly hair.

“Yeah, but we’ve never had a fight like that before…” The youngest lad lowers his eyes as he absently pulls off the rest of his clothes.

“It’s Louis we’re talking about; he’ll be back in your arms by tonight.” Zayn says, rolling his amber eyes and finishing dressing. “You two will be fine. Just apologize after training.”

Harry sighs then dully starts to redress into shorts and a t-shirt, ignoring the pain in his chest, deciding to fix things with Louis after his football training, then following the three other boys outside to start warming up.

“Are you keeping it?” Is the first question Coach Hans asks after the shocked silence between the teenager and the football coach, Louis’ blue eyes staring at his lap, to scared and ashamed to meet his coach’s eyes.

“I-I don’t know, coach. I’m still t-trying to figure everything out.” Louis stutters, inhaling a large breath before exhaling slowly as Coach Hans asks

“It’s Harry’s, isn’t it?” Louis nods, his chest tightening slightly at the mention of the boyfriend who had just yelled at him last period.

“Yes. He doesn’t know though… I-I don’t want to tell him until I know what I’m going to do.” Louis says and looks over to the wall on the side of the room, refusing to meet his favourite teacher’s eyes.

“Does your mother know?” Hans asks quietly and Louis swallows roughly, shaking his head, not trusting his voice any longer. Louis hears Hans sigh then hears the coach move to sit on the desk in front of him, and Louis reluctantly glances upwards.

“I-I’m sorry, Coach.” Louis whispers and Hans sighs again, his hand coming to rest on the teenager’s shoulder tightly.

“You’re a smart man, Louis. You shouldn’t have gotten yourself into this. What happened to no sex while on the team?” The coach asks, knowing that most of his boys didn’t follow that policy anyway.

“I-I don’t know. I-I just… it didn’t seem important at the time.” Louis whispers and Hans sighs again and there’s a long pause between the two, Louis’ stomach clenching with fear while the coach considers what to do with the obviously struggling teen in front of him.

“I’m not going to cut you until you’ve decided what you’re going to do.” Hans decides, breaking the silence and Louis swallows. “But you will not participate in any trainings or sports until you’ve come to the decision. But it would be appreciated if you made it quick, so I can change the positions around if I need too. Besides, I don’t know how far along you are, but if you’re going to you only have a certain amount of time.” Hans finishes and Louis nods slowly, his blue eyes focused on the wood of the desk in front of him. He hears Hans sigh one more time before the coach says “You come and tell me if there is anything you need, alright. You’re dismissed.”

Louis mumbles his thanks before quickly exiting the room, grabbing his bag from where he dumped it in the corner of the changing rooms then fleeing to his car to start the quick drive home, praying to whoever will listen that the house will be empty.

A/N: I know this chapter isn't very good but I promise the story will get better. :) xxx
