Falling (H.S. X L.T.)

Chapter Ten

Louis' Pov.
After getting Harry into Niall's bed I left the room and we sure to close the door as quietly as possible. I walked downstairs to the now empty house except for the lads.

It looked like they were all trying to sober up, they had cups of coffee in their hands and had crackers on the table.

Once they caught sight of me they all looked at me with curious eyes, expecting me to say something.

"Harry's sleeping in your bed, he's ok for now." I said quietly, looking at Niall. They all let out a sigh of relief and visibly relaxed.

"I'm gonna kill that fucking Nick Grimshit." Niall spat, an angry look on his face.

"For now just leave it, don't tell anyone unless Harry wants to tell them, we need to let him deal with this how he needs, that's what's best." I explained, even though on the inside I wanted to rip Nick's head off for even looking at Harry.

"Are you sure he's alright? He seemed really shaken up." Liam pushed, he seemed really worried.

"Yeah, he was falling asleep before i even left the room." I assured, giving Liam a small smile.

It was quiet until Niall spoke up again.

"You said you and Zayn found him right?" Niall asked, turning his attention to Liam.

"Yeah, what about it?" Liam asked curiously.

"What were you and Zayn doing heading up to the bedrooms?" Niall interrogated, I could tell he was trying to keep a smirk from falling onto his lips.

Liam and Zayn both widened their eyes at the question and blushed.

"I- uh..... We were just uhm.... We were just looking for Harry to uhh- we wanted to do truth or dare." Liam fumbled, trying for an excuse, i think we all know what they were about to do *wink wink*

"Whatever you say mate..." Niall trailed off, giving him a knowing look. They both blushed harder and averted their eyes away from each other.

"Well, do you lads just want to sleep here tonight?" Niall asked. I knew he secretly wanted us to stay because he had no idea how he could comfort Harry if needed.

"I'll stay." I agreed, giving Niall a smile.

"Lemme ask my mom." Liam said, grabbing his phone from his pocket.

"I'll stay too." Zayn promised.

Liam called his mom and she answered on the 2nd ring.

"Hey mom." He said into the phone.

"Liam? Is everything alright?"

"Yeah everything's fine. I just wanted to ask if I could stay over here at Niall's again tonight?" Liam asked, he sounded like he really wanted to stay.

"Alright that's fine I guess.... Don't be home too late tomorrow though, I want you back by 12:00" Liam's mom ordered.

Before Liam could respond Zayn spoke up.

"Liam you're hogging all the weed, pass the blunt you twat!" Zayn said loudly, causing me and Niall to bust out in laughter.

"Liam what was that?" His mom questioned.

"Nothing mom. I gotta go but I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love you, bye." Liam rushed out, hanging up the phone after the conversation.

"Zayn you fucking prick." Liam exclaimed, glaring at him.

"You know you love me." Zayn winked, blowing a kiss at Liam. Liam's eyes softened at the gesture. I looked between them both suspiciously.

"Ok there's no way you two aren't fucking." I accused bluntly, smirking between the two. Zayn choked on his own spit while Liam just stared at me wide-eyed.

"So you are then?" Niall asked.

Silence.

"I fucking knew it." I laughed, looking at the two boys who were blushing messes.

"That brings my question Louis, what's your sexuality?" Niall asked, turning his attention to me.

"Oh... Well I've never really thought about it. I fall the person more than the gender so I guess I like both." I stated truthfully, a certain curly haired boy popping into my head.

Niall nodded, I loved how cool they all were with this, it was refreshing.

After chatting downstairs for awhile we all headed upstairs to go to sleep. Instead of sleeping in Niall's room Liam and Zayn went to sleep in a guest room together. Me and Niall both laid out a place to sleep on the floor, we didn't want Harry to freak out if he woke up with someone in bed next to him.

We were both laying down and it was slightly awkward until Niall spoke up.

"So how's your girlfriend?" He asked, I'm guessing he knew from seeing me around school with her.

"Ah, well actually we broke up tonight. She cheated." I explained, I was honestly relieved to be away from her though. I didn't feel the same way about her that I used to.

"Oh mate, I'm sorry about that." Niall comforted.

"It's fine, I was gonna break up with her sooner or later anyway, things aren't how they used to be." I shrugged.

Niall hummed in response.

"Well goodnight mate, sleep well." Niall said, turning onto his side.

"Night." I replied quietly, turning in the direction of Harry and watching his small frame rise up and down slowly.

Soon enough I felt my eyelids drop shut, and I was consumed by sleep.
