Fragile Blue | Larry Stylinson

>>> ⑥ <<<

Harry and Avery had been gone since an hour. I sat cuddled up in a blanket on the sofa and watched the Simpsons. Something better wasn't there right now. Unfortunately the doorbell rang and I had to leave my warm place.

"Hey Louis." Liam greeted me when I opened the door.

I let him in, followed by Zayn.

"So you aren't well? What's wrong? Harry called and asked if we could check on you." Liam asked while he and Zayn took off their shoes.

I just shrugged my shoulders and sat down on the sofa again. I turned off the television.

It only made me feel a little better that Harry at least tried to know how I am. Even though he'll never be able to know the real reason.

"Headache? You look so tortured." Liam asked.

I shook my head again.

"I think I know what it is. Louis, can Liam know?" Zayn probably thought of something.

Since I had nothing more to lose anyway, I simply nodded.

"Should I tell him or do you want to tell him about it?" Zayn asked.

"You." I just mumbled.

Liam just looks confused at us.

"Good. Liam, our dear Louis is gay and madly in love with dear Harry. Apparently he had a few problems with Avery yesterday. At least she's taking his place." Zayn told him.

Liam looked at me with big eyes before he grinned thickly.

"I knew it! Of course I support you too. You're okay, Lou." it came out of him happily. "But let's be honest. Avery annoys me a bit. She didn't do anything, but I have the feeling that she will bother me."

And with that he had hit a sore spot. I felt tears flowing down my cheeks and I couldn't suppress a sob either. All of the stress from this morning came back.

"There it is. What did she do?" Zayn asked, sounding a little bit too angry already.

I just shook my head.

I couldn't say it. Avery was going to kill me.

"Louis! What. Has. Avery. Done?" Zayn repeated this time a bit more dominant.

"You can trust us." Liam added.

Liam was actually Harry's buddy first, but I trusted him as much as Zayn.

"S-she h-h-has--" I started, now crying fully.

"Shhh, I'll make us some tea and then we all come down a bit. Afterwards you tell us what happened." Liam suggested and looked slightly warning at Zayn, who should probably calm a bit down too.

After half an hour I had calmed down and the tea was also empty.

"So what did Avery do?" Zayn began the conversation.

I fiddled with the blanket and looked at my hands.

"She threatened me." I admitted.

"What? We're talking about the same Avery right?" Liam said shocked. "Like I knew there was something wrong with her, but not that she's a beast like that!"

I nodded.

"Believe me, she looks harmless. I can tell myself that Harry doesn't look that happy with her." Zayn agreed with me.

"Good, then go on. Sorry." Liam nodded to me, smiling, albeit a little sad and angry.

"She said I should leave Harry alone. If not, then she's telling him a lie that he'll believe her. She thinks Harry believes her more than me." I repeated the incident.

"Never! Harry believes everything what you say. If he didn't have a girlfriend, I would almost say that he somehow likes you." Liam clarified.

"Sure and I'm God..." I muttered.  "Because she's his girlfriend, he believes her a lot more than me."

"But how much can he love Avery? I don't believe in love that forms within 4 weeks. It couldn't have been 4 weeks because they for sure didn't met at the first day of the vacation. Love takes time to develop." Zayn contradicted.

"You don't believe it, but it can still happen. Harry also said that he has a person on his mind that he loves so much that he is afraid of losing them." I mumbled.

"Did he? This is new to me. Are you sure he meant Avery?" Liam assured himself.

"I don't know. I asked him, but he said I should go back to sleep." I shook my head.

"He just ended the conversation without answering the question! I'm sorry, but somehow some things are becoming clear now. At least for me and apparently also for Zayn." Liam grinned brightly and pointed to Zayn with shining eyes.

"We will find a way. Zayn and I will help you, won't we?" he continued and looked at Zayn questioningly.

Zayn nodded wildly and grinned at me.

"Tonight is Niall's birthday. We'll turn our heads off then. Tomorrow or the day after, we'll do something about Avery." Liam explained his plan.

Zayn immediately agreed and I nodded after the two of them looked at me demanding. For the rest of the morning and afternoon, the two boys stayed with me and we actually just watched shit on TV.
