The Triangle

Chapter 3

Harry didn't know who this new student was but he was gorgeous. He had enchanting blue eyes that drew someone in, and his hair was quiffed perfectly. He was wearing a white Hollister jacket, he pulled the sleeves down so just his fingers hung out. He also had a pair of black glasses, they really showed off his blue eyes. He could tell just by the way this boy carried himself he was really shy. Forget Niall, this boy would be his next in line, even though he was probably straight and so was Harry at least that's what he wanted people to think.

The boy slowly walked over to the seat avoiding eye contact from everyone. "Hi..... I'm Louis..... is it ok if I sit here?" He timidly said to Harry still avoiding eye contact. Why he was so shy shocked Harry, how could someone so attractive be so insecure.

"Yeah totally dude, you can sit here whenever you want. Can I see your schedule, let me see if I have anymore classes with you." Harry was trying to be friendly really was hoping he would get to see this boy more then once during a day. He looked through all the boys classes and realized there schedules were identical, maybe him and this Louis could become good friends. "Woah that's awesome, we have the same classes as each other. Stick with me and I can show you where all your classes are."

"Yeah, that would be nice." Harry could tell he really didn't want to talk so he left him alone. They talked a bit here in there in every class but Harry didn't learn much about him. He learned that his favorite band was the Fray, his parents were divorced, and he had moved into Harry's neighborhood.

Harry and Louis said a couple things to each other here and there until they finally got to their last class of the day. He called Louis over to sit with him and his two friend Ashley and Diamond. Of course right after Ashley met him she slipped her number into his pants pocket. Of course Ashley couldn't read people like Harry could and he could tell Louis was really wasn't into her.

Harry stood next to Louis the whole time while they were singing and he had to admit he had an amazing voice. He tried to focus on Louis instead of focusing on Niall because Niall was trying to get Harry attention, he just ignored him. He could see Niall attempting to mouth I'm sorry to Harry but he didn't pay any attention. Harry thought maybe he was taking this to far but he was really hurt.

Once class ended he started to walk to his locker when he felt a strong force grab his shoulder and turn him around. It was Niall, he was the last person he wanted to see right now.

"Can we talk about what happened last night, I'm really sorry dude, I didn't mean to hurt you. I just..... I just..... acted on the spur of the moment and fucked this up. I would never want anything to come between us, you're my best friend. But can you promise me you won't tell anyone about what happened. I don't want to ruin my reputation." That last line really hurt, it hurt a lot.

"What did you just say? So basically your reputation is more important than me. I always knew you were just a popular ass hole who only gives damn about himself. You know what, I'm done." Harry turned around to storm off luckily he saw Louis at his locker. He ran over to go catch up with him. "Hey Louis want to walk home with me." Harry asked really trying to make Louis like him.

"Sure, I was going to take the bus but I guess we can walk." Harry was so happy he really wanted to get to know him a little more, even though they had just met. Louis was so attractive and Harry loved how shy he was. It made Louis a challenge to figure out and Harry liked that.

They started to walk home from school, Harry had to walk pretty fast to keep up with Louis. They didn't say anything to each other for most of the walk until Harry finally decided to say something. "So why'd you guys decide to move to this boring place?" Harry asked hoping he had finally asked something that would make Louis branch out.

"Well we had a couple reason, first of all my parents got divorced so I moved here with my mom. The other reason is ummmm." Louis didn't answer and looked right down at the ground avoiding eye contact, when suddenly Harry saw a tear hit the ground. Shit what had he just done, did he cross a line. It's not like Louis had to answer his question. But suddenly Louis kept talking,

"Back at my old school I was bullied... everyday. I didn't feel safe at school because everyone was out to get me. I got called names and beat up pretty much everyday. I had to delete all my social media accounts because people would comment calling me a faggot or telling me to just kill myself. I still have trouble sleeping, I hope thing are different at this school." Louis had said with tears flowing from his eyes.

Holy shit, he didn't realize Louis how such an attractive person could have such a dark past, maybe that's why he was so shy. Harry did the only thing he thought would be socially acceptable, he wrapped his arms around Louis and embraced him in a tight hug. "It's ok, it will be different here I promise."

"Are you sure?" Louis asked almost hoping Harry was wrong. "You probably couldn't tell but I'm gay, that's why I was bullied. I thought things would be different here but obviously they won't be. The only reason I came out of the closet was so I could find someone who got me and I still haven't found him." Louis said sobbing in Harry's arms. Damn Harry wanted to shout I'm gay too but he couldn't. Being closeted was the only place he knew and it felt safe. As shy and quiet as this boy was he had a lot of courage.

"I'll keep you safe, I promise, I won't let anyone hurt you." Harry said still trying to comfort the boy. They continued to walk home in silence, Harry's arm was still around Louis. Louis head rested on his shoulder, an occasional tear ran down his face. Harry didn't realize how damaged he was, all he wanted to do was fix him. He just wanted to take Louis up to his room and hold him in his arms. He wanted him to feel safe, protected.

"Well this is my house, thanks for everything. Sorry you had to hear about my problems, I'm just scared." Louis quietly said, he was so cute and awkward. Harry leaned in and wiped the tears away from Louis eyes.

Harry leaned even closer, embraced him in one last hug and got right next to his hear. "You'll be ok as long as I'm here." Harry pulled away and stepped back. Louis walked up to his steps and turned back one last time. "How about I come over sometime tomorrow, we should hang out this weekend." Harry quick yelled back before he started walking home.

Harry didn't know how to feel about his encounter will Louis, at least the boy trusted him, that was a start. Harry really wanted the boy to be his but he knew he had to keep quiet about his little secret. Only his mom, Gemma, and Niall knew. He figured his mother had told his dad though. Then that's when it hit him, he had to face his parents when he got home.

He knew it wouldn't get better if he didn't face them about it so he decided to go home. He slowly walked up the steps trying to buy as much time as possible. He opened the door walked inside and what he saw scared him. His whole family was waiting for him in the living room, shit. The thing that worried him the most was the fact that his dad was there, he was suppose to be at work.

"Harry come sit down, we need to talk." His beckoned him over to them. "We need to talk about your big declaration. I want you to know that we support you completely and we love you." Harry's day had been an emotional roller coaster and he finally just let it all out. He started sobbing and then the tears just burst out. Gemma got up and went over to hold Harry, he would've rather cuddled with Louis but she will do.

"Harry we love you so much and we just want you to be happy. Keep being yourself, it doesn't matter what other people think. If there's anyone you ever have a problem with let me know. You know family comes first and if anyone fucks with you I will fuck them up to the point that it's unrepairable." It made him feel so warm in side to know how much support he had. What his dad had said also made him feel amazing, hearing your parents curse was always refreshing. Hopefully no one would mess with him because Harry's dad was serious.

They all spent the rest of the day together hanging out and goofing around. He had the best family ever, how was his life so perfect and Louis was such a mess. The day ended on a good note, he had no trouble falling to sleep that night.
