Walking Alone (1D Fan Fiction AU)

Not So Secret

Louis’s POV

“I just called Harry, he is on his way over.” I said to Niall, Liam, and Zayn. We were in the gym waiting for Harry to show up so we could practice for the talent show that the school is having.

I don’t know why Haz would be late for rehearsal, he’s never late. The doors flung open and my best friend walked through the doors completely out of breath.

“I came as fast as I could.” Harry said panting. “Sorry I’m late, my alarm never went off due to the fact that I forgot to set it last night.” he started to mumble towards the end of his sentence.

“It’s okay Haz,” I said and flung my arm around his shoulder, “now what song do we want to sing for the--” buzz buzz. Harry’s phone started to vibrate in his pocket. He pulled out his iPhone and I saw that Anna was calling Harry.

“Hey, Lou, I gotta take this.” and he walked off into the corner. Why would Anna be calling him, not that I don’t like her because I do I mean we have been friends for two years but why is now, why is he choosing her over me? What makes her so important? Stop Louis, your over reacting, we are all friends and maybe there is an emergency or something.

I looked at Harry and his face was starting to turn red and he put his free hand on his forehead. I caught his gaze for a moment but then he turned around almost like he didn’t want me to know what he was talking about, like he was hiding something. Harry hung up the phone, let out a sigh and dropped the phone into his shorts pocket.

I was so caught up looking at Harry that I didn’t notice that Niall, Liam and Zayn were standing next to me.

“Hey, Harry, what’s up?!” Zayn asked but Harry was pacing back and forth.

I walked up to Harry and put my arm around his shoulder, “Hey, Haz what’s wrong, you look worried?”

“I’m not worried,” he started, “I’m almost relieved.”

“Wait, what? What are you talking about?” I asked. What could he be relieved about after Anna’s conversation?

“Come on,” Harry gestured me and the other guys to go sit in the bleachers. “It’s time that you guys knew something.” He paused and took a deep breath. “Well, to make a long story short, Anna and I have been going steady for almost a year now, this Friday, the 21st of December.”

“Haha, I knew it!” Niall said. Liam pulled out his wallet and gave him ten dollars.

“Wait, what?” Harry questioned.

“Liam and I had a bet to see which of the girls you would go out with and I knew it would be Anna from the start.” he said trying to keep still in his seat.

“How did you know?” Harry asked still kind of confused and embarrassed.

“I saw the way that you looked at Anna from the moment you first saw her. I mean, come on Harry, no guy I know offers to walk a girl to the nurse if they don’t like them. Plus when we were ending our sophomore year, you guys were always together and agreed with almost everything. Harry it was obvious.” Niall explained.

“Am I really that see through?” Harry said scratching his neck and looking at the floor.

“Yeah dude!” Niall said.

I could tell that Harry was a bit uncomfortable so I decided to change the topic while Harry sat down in the bleachers.

“So, lads, as I was saying before, what song should we sing for the talent show? Any ideas?”

“How about a love song!” Niall joked poking Harry in the shoulder.

“Actually, I think that would be a great idea!” Harry piped up. “I mean the talent show is right around Valentine’s Day and what kinds of girls don’t like love songs sung by five, aha, good looking boys?” Harry flips his collar and gave us that charming smile of his.
