Louis pov
I woke up on Friday and I felt horrible. It still hurt knowing that I would be driving to school without Lottie in the car. Harry has been staying over a lot more lately for emotional support and I'm very grateful.
We both finished getting ready and went downstairs. He ate a bowl of cereal while I didn't eat anything. I hadn't been eating anything ever since the funeral.
We got inside my car and I drove us to school. When we arrived, I hesitated before opening the door. Harry held my hand in a comforting way and I gave him a weak smile.
He held my hand the whole way while we were going to our lockers. "You go ahead. I'll be there in a few" I told him.
"Is something wrong?" He asked, concern in his eyes.
"No, I'm just going to the bathroom" I replied.
"Okay but if you're not in class in the next five minutes I'm coming for you"
I walked towards the bathroom and of course Nick had to be in there at that time.
"Look Nick, if you want to bother me about being gay please don't. I'm not really feeling like tolerating you today alright"
"I'm done with all that. I just want to say that I'm sorry. For everything"
"Really? I don't buy it"
"I mean it Louis. You see the thing is, when we first met, I knew I wanted to be friends with you for some reason. Then you came up to me saying that you wanted to be friends and I obviously agreed"
"Where is this story going?"
"Just let me finish. As I was saying, we became best friends and I felt this weird closeness to you. I didn't know what it was until you met Niall. I saw how close you guys were and I was jealous of him. All these things I was feeling were confusing until you started hanging out with him more than you did with me. I realised that I was jealous because I was in love with you. Then Harry transferred to the school and I saw how close you got to him in such a short amount of time. I noticed the look in your eyes whenever you saw him or spoke about him with Niall. I knew you liked him and it was obvious he liked you too. So that's why I started bullying him. I wanted him to realise that I wouldn't stop making his life miserable until he stopped hanging out with you. But clearly that didn't work because a few weeks later, I found out you guys were together. I realise now that what I did was wrong and I'm so so sorry Louis. I know saying that I did all that stuff to you guys especially him because I'm still in love with you isn't a good enough excuse. I really hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me even though I doubt you will"
"Wow. I never would have thought that you're gay. But I just wanna know why you suddenly distanced yourself when I became close with Niall"
"I realised you didn't need me in your life and decided to leave you with your new best friend. I guess I was right"
"Sure maybe Niall's my best friend now but that was only because my old best friend left me without any explanation and has never contacted since then"
"I'm really sorry for everything Louis"
"It's alright. I forgive you but it doesn't go by me. You still have to apologise to Harry since he experienced everything a lot worse than I did"
"Definitely. I will. Thanks Louis"
"You're welcome"
I walked out of the bathroom and headed to English. I sat down next to Harry and he gave me a questioning look. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm feeling better now"

I walked into he cafeteria and sat down with Niall, Liam, Zayn and Harry. "Hey guys" I said with a smile that was actually real.
They all looked at me as if I had just smoked crack in front of them.
"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?" I asked.
"We just think it's weird that you're suddenly happy today" Niall replied.
"Actually Niall, he wasn't happy this morning until he went to the bathroom before English" Harry said. "You never told me what changed your mood"
Just as I was about to respond, Nick walked up to our table. "Can I sit here if you don't mind" he asked politely.
"And why would I let you do that?" Harry sassed. I would be proud if I didn't know why Nick was here.
I placed my hand on his thigh. "You can sit Nick" I said.
He gave me a grateful nod and took a seat beside Niall.
"What do you think you're doing?" Niall asked, baffled.
"Just let him talk Niall. Clearly he wants to say something"
Nick nodded and began. "I came here to say that I'm sorry for everything I did to you Harry. I know what I did was wrong and my reasons for doing it aren't a good enough excuse"
"Then why'd you do it?" Zayn asked.
"I did it because I was jealous. I was jealous of how close he got to Louis and it angered me. It made me angrier than when Louis got close to Niall"
I could see Niall's body stiffen at those words.
"What do you mean you were jealous? You and Louis weren't even friends when it happened in fact you aren't friends now" Harry said.
"You see the thing is and you are gonna think this is stupid but I was bullying you because I was and still am in love with Louis. I have been since we first became friends. I thought that if I bullied you long enough, you'd realise that you should distance yourself from Louis and I might get a chance with him. But after that fight I realised that it was a stupid plan and I had ruined any chances I could have had with Louis"
"So you bullied me for being gay knowing very well that you were gay too" Harry said with disbelief.
"I get it. It doesn't make sense but it did to me at the time because there was something about you that made me angry. What angered me was that I always knew that Louis was gay but at the time he always said he was straight. I was angry because you were the person that helped him realise who he really is and not me. I envied you for that and I still do. You're special Harry and you bring out the good in people. I realised that after watching you with not only Louis but with your other friends too. I wish I could be like you. I know I did a lot of bad things to you and I don't expect you to forgive me. I just wanted to apologise and get it off of my chest"
"Fortunately I'm a kind person so I'll forgive you but I can't speak for Louis though"
"Actually I already forgave him" I said.
"When was this exactly?" Harry asked.
"Earlier today. In the bathroom" I replied.
"So that's why you've been happier today" Niall said.
"Well you can't blame me for being happy after getting my friend back"
Everyone laughed and we ate our lunch talking about random things and how I used to act before meeting Harry. Some things were embarrassing but I didn't mind. I was glad to be around people that I love and who love me too.
