Blue-Eyed Baby

Chapter Thirty-Seven - Jackson

----- HARRY'S POV -----

After I heard and left Louis stood with some guy, I didn't recognise his voice, I went back to Liam's dorm where Niall, him, and Zayn were. I walked through the door willing myself not to cry, I could have been wrong, Louis could've said something else. I probably needed to let him explain but all I could think about was him and telling someone else he loved them. Liam was the first to look up, when he saw the look on my face he stood up immediately, walking up to me and pulling me into a hug. When Liam's arms were round me, I couldn't help but cry.

"H," I heard Zayn say, "What happened?"

"I... I heard... I heard," I stuttered.

"Take your time."

"Louis," I let out, "he was, was talking to someone. I... I think he was about to say he loved them."

"I don't think Louis would do that, H, we can see it in his eyes. He adores you, so much," Niall spoke up, "he laughs when your jokes aren't even funny, he doesn't know what to do with himself when you're not around, that boy, he's gone for you."

"I don't think he is Ni, what if he's just pretending?"

"H, listen to me, you need to talk to him."

"I will ju-" I was cut off by the doorknob being wiggled, I ripped myself from Liam's hold and ran into the bathroom slowly shutting the door trying not to make any noise. I pressed my ear to the door trying to listen.

----- LOUIS' POV -----

I left Andrew and ran straight to Stan's room. I flung the door wide and walked inside starting to cry.

"Lou," Stan said jumping off of the bed to come and hug me. "What's happened? What's wrong?"

"Andrew," I sobbed, "He's here."

"What?" Stan said angrily.

"He cornered me, he told me a bunch of bullshit," I weakly said into Stan's shoulder.

"I'm gonna kill him," Stan exclaimed, pulling away from me. "I swear to fucking god who the fuck does he think he is. Turning up at college and cornering you, begging for you back, when one it's been over a year and two he fucking cheated on you."

"Stan calm down."

"No Louis, it's not fair on you. Who was it he cheated on you with again?"

"Jackson."

"What, why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I knew you'd get angry."

"Of course, I'd get angry, Lou. Those twat's hurt you, in more ways than one."

"Yes I know but when it happened I didn't want to tell anyone. In fact, I didn't tell anyone, not even mum."

"You really kept all that to yourself?"

"Yes, for a fucking year, and it was going great till that prick showed up," I said looking down at my feet.

"Louis," Stan spoke softly, "Lou look at me." I looked up with tears running down my cheeks. Stan pulled me into another hug, "Louis, you could've told me, I'd have been there for you."

"I know, I just didn't want to be a burden."

"You could never be a burden."

"Thank you, I love you but I.. I.. I need to get to Harry."

"Come on then, go get your boy."

I pulled away from Stan walking out of his room, with my head down I walked to my own room. I jiggled the door handle a couple of times before walking into the room, probably with tear-stained cheeks and red rimmed eyes. I lifted my head up slowly to see Liam, Zayn and Niall staring back at me with confused expressions. I wiped my eyes with my hoodie sleeve before speaking, "Have uhm, have any of you seen Harry?"

"Uhm," Liam said.

"I just, I need Harry, please if you've seen him tell me," I whispered out.

"Lou, you look worn out. You need to rest," Niall spoke up.

"No, I need to talk to Harry, please, where is he?" I choked out.

I walked over to my bed dropping down and hugging my pillow to my body.

"Lou, what's going on? What happened?"

"My ex happened," I whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"Niall! My ex, he turned up at college telling me he loved me and all this bullshit, wanting me back. I just need Harry."

"How does Harry fit into this?"

"Because Niall, I'm in love with the boy!" I shouted, "he makes me happy, he- he knows what to do when I'm sad."

"You really do love him don't you."

"Yes. Now if you're not going to tell me where he is please, leave."

I turned on my side, facing away from the rest of the boys. I closed my eyes. I let my breathing even out after I heard the door close, and the room go quiet. The last thing I felt before I drifted off to sleep was a kiss pressed to my temple and the words, "I'm in love with you too, I'll find you when I'm ready to talk," whispered into my ear.

----- HARRY'S POV -----

After I walked out of Louis' room I checked my phone to see where the other boys had headed. When I saw Niall's text saying they had gone to his room, I went straight there.

I pushed the door open and walked across to sit on his bed, "I told Louis I would speak to him when I'm ready.'

"That's good, at least you can do it on your own terms," Niall smiled at me.

"Yeah, anyway, FIFA?"

Niall just smiled standing up and grabbing the game to put it in the PlayStation. He put the game in and we all sat down, playing several rounds of FIFA while drinking at least two beers each.

It had nearly been a week.

At the weekend I avoided campus completely. I went home and spent the weekend with my mum and Gemma, we went bowling and on walks, we played games and went out for meals. I had the time of my life and I forgot about Louis for the whole weekend. On Monday, I went to my classes as normal. I didn't really talk to many people that day, I kind of just stayed in my room thinking things over. I wanted to talk to Louis, I just didn't know what to say. I guess I was just worried he didn't mean anything he had said. On Tuesday, I had no class so me and Liam went out, we got away from campus and talked. He told me the basic stuff, like I needed to talk to Louis and here his side of the story or that I couldn't just lose out on 'the love of my life' because I heard a conversation. Wednesday wasn't much different, I had more of a conversation with Louis. We talked about the lesson and that was it.

A/N: Let's ignore that I forgot to post <3
