Since We Were 18

Chapter 3

LOUIS POV:

When I wake up in the morning, my favorite person is no longer next to me. I get up and I get ready to shout his name to see if he is still here when I smell the food. I smile to myself as I walk into the kitchen. When I walk in I see Harry at the stove making something and I walk up behind him and wrapped my arms around him and hugged him from behind. I think I scared him a little because I felt him jump a little when I touched him. "Well good morning to you too Lou." He tells me and quickly turns around to give me a hug back but then just as fast as he did it he lets go. I wish I could just stay like this forever with him. "Good morning hazza. After breakfast do you want to call the boys and tell them to come over so we can discuss the trip?" I ask as I set the table up. "Yeah I'll call them when we are done with. breakfast." We sit in silence while we at our food and when we are done Harry takes my plate and starts to wash them. "I'm gonna use your shower haz." I tell him as I am walking up the stairs. "Alright Lou, you know where you clothes are in my room. I'll call the guys while you are in there." "Okay sounds good." 

After I get out of the shower and head back to the room to get changed I hear all the guys down stairs stalking so I am in the all clear to get changed in the bedroom without having to go back to the bathroom to change with the door closed. Or so I thought at the time. As I am slipping my boxers on I hear the bedroom door open and I snap my head around to see who it is. "Hey Lou-" Harry starts but doesn't finish because he is just staring at me and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. "Uhh Harry, you okay? What did you need?" I ask him as I slip my pants on in front of him because it's not the first time he has seen me like this. We all walk in on each other changing all the time so it's fine. He finally snaps out of his trance and looks at me. "Uh... just wanted to see if you were almost done. We are ordering pizza so uhh... yeah. Come back down when you are done." He says and turns and walks out the door beefier I get to say anything. Huh I wonder what his problem is. I'll ask him later. 

HARRYS POV:

While Louis was taking a shower I called the guys up and had them come over so we can discuss our trip more. When they finally arrived we all sat in the living room chatting. They all started to talk about relationships and I could not get Louis out of my mind the whole time they were talking about it. "Hey Harry, do you have a crush or are you seeing anyone we don't know about?" Niall asks me with an eyebrow wiggle. I roll my eyes at them and say "No of course I don't have a crush and no I'm not seeing anyone. Why would you think I have a crush? Crushes are so elementary school things come on." I say and my the way they all three turn and look at each other I can tell they knew right away I was hiding something. I really need to get new friends that don't know me so well. "Hazza you are a VERY horrible liar so tell us who is this special lad? Will we ever get to meet him and are you guys talking or are you still in the he doesn't know you yet stage?" Liam asks me and I don't know what to say. How am I suppose to lie about who I like in front of them when they knew I was laying before. "Come on haz, just tell us we are friends we aren't gonna make fun of you or hate you or anything. Spit it out mate." Zayn tells me and I really have nothing to lose so why not. Oh wait I have everything to lose. My best friend in the whole world, the love of my life, my other half, my ride or die. if I lose him my life is over. "You guys might not hate me but the person I like most definitely will." is what comes out of my mouth after all of that. They all look at me waiting to say more. "Well you gonna tell us or just leave us hanging like that mate come on, I've been waiting so long for you to have a crush on someone I need to know." Niall says with an eye roll. "Umm...I like.. umm...ugh why is this so hard for me to tell you guys." I sigh out in frustration. "If it makes you feel better and tell us I'll say my crush out loud if you tell us yours. we can say it at the same time okay?" Liam tells me and honestly that makes me feel better so I nod slowly and he gives me a little smile. "Okay on three we are both gonna say the name okay?" Liam reassures me and I take a deep breath and wait for him to start counting. "One, two, three...Zayn." "Louis" We both say at the same time and the room goes silent after that. I whip my head and look at Liam to make sure I heard what I thought I heard him say and by the looks on the other boys faces I can tell they heard the exact same thing. "You...have a crush..on me?" Zayn asks and Liam gets up and runs in the kitchen and I think I saw tears down his cheeks as he ran away. Zayn turns to look at me and Niall with a confused face but I can see the sparkle in his eye and I know right then and there that he has feelings for Liam as well. "I think you should go talk to him mate. Make sure he knows you feel the same way about him." I say and Zayns eyes go wide at that. "What are you talking about I don't have a crush on him that's crazy." He says but me and Niall can hear the nerves in his voice. "Zayn you can't lie to us either mate, go talk to Liam and just tell him the truth. Nothing can go wrong if he has the same feelings. It'll be fine trust us just go talk to him." Niall says and at that Zayn gets up and goes into the kitchen.
