Rock Me (Larry Stylinson AU)

Chapter Two

Chapter Two:

I wake up the next morning feeling extra tired for some reason. I lean over to my right to check my phone's messages. I have a text from my mum. I might as well text her back.

I get up from my bed and walk over to the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror.

"God, you look like shit this morning," I say aloud to myself hinting at the smudged eyeliner under my eyes and my messy hair. I was too tired to take off the eyeliner last night so I just left it on my eyes. I grab a towel, wet it, and wipe off all of the old makeup from my eyes. I look at myself again and this time I feel like I'm looking at a different me. I'm so used to wearing eyeliner on stage that whenever I have it taken off, I feel that I look like a different person.

I change into some swim trunks and a tank top. I grab a towel and my flip flops and walk out my room to the hotel pool.

Once I reach the pool, I sit down on the side and slip my feet into the water. The water is cool. It feels so good in this terrible Los Angeles heat.

"Hey Lou," a voice says from behind me. I turn around to see Harry crouched down behind me.

"Hi Haz," I say to him. He sits down next to me and slips his feet into the water.

"I need to talk to you and the other boys about something," Harry says to me.

"Sure. Are we having a band meeting or something?" I ask him.

"It's nothing about the band," he says and looks down at his feet in dangling in the water.

"What's it about then?" I ask him feeling more concerned.

"C'mon, take a walk with me. I'll tell you first since I trust you the most," he says and stands up. I stand up and slip on my flip flops and start walking around with Harry.

"Okay, you can't tell anyone about this just yet. In fact, don't tell anyone," he says to me.

"Sure, mate. What is it?" I pat him on the back reassuring him that he could trust me to keep his secret.

"Well, I'm bisexual and I have a boyfriend now. I just wanted to tell you guys because I wanted him to hang out with us tonight. I don't want to hide our relationship from you boys. You're all my best friends and I don't want to hide anything from you," Harry says to me. So, Harry is bisexual. I never would have suspected it. See, I'm bisexual as well but I try to not to show it. That's one of the reasons my ex broke up with me; she hated when she found out that I was attracted to guys too. Thinking about Harry being bi gives me butterflies in my stomach. I don't understand why I have these, but I do. I feel almost relieved to hear that he's attracted to guys too. And I'm kind of glad that he came out to me first. I know I don't have the guts to come out to anyone.

"You're bisexual?" I say to him.

"Yes," he says. He almost looks upset and unhappy. I put my arm around him and I feel that maybe I should tell him I'm bi too. But I can't get myself to do it.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Hazza," I reassure him that I'm always going to be his friend no matter what.

"Thanks, Louis. I'm glad you understand," he says with a smile.

"So, who's the lucky guy that gets to be with you?" I say with a smirk. Harry giggles a little.

"Well, the guy I was talking to last night kind of asked me out he's a really nice guy and I like him a lot," Harry says.

"Oh, him? Cool. What's his name?" I ask him.

"His name is Nick. He's a little bit older than me and he's actually from the UK, like us. He's just been living in LA for about a year," he says excitedly.
