After school, Harry and I made our way to the soccer field. I had soccer practice now but Harry insisted he would wait till the end. I kissed him quickly before running off to the locker room and getting dressed.
"Tomlinson!" I looked over to one of my team mates, Josh.
"Who's the boyfriend?" He asked with a smirk and I rolled my eyes.
"He isn't my boyfriend... yet anyways and second, mind your own business." I said and he chuckled.
"Not judging mate, just wondered when this all happened?" He asked and I chuckled.
"Its only recent." I said and he nodded as I tied my laces.
"So are you like gay or bi?" He asked and I shrugged.
"I think bi or pan." I said as we made our way out to the field.
"Can understand that, but what do you see in that emo dude?" He asked looking over at Harry.
"He isn't emo and you need to get to know him to see what I see. There is a caring, fun loving guy under that disguise. You just have to get it out of him." I said and Josh laughed.
"Don't need to get sappy mate!" He said and I smacked the back of his head, before I started my lap around the track. On my second lap, I noticed Liam approaching where Harry was sitting and I panicked.
"Harry!" I called and he looked up from his phone towards me. I gestured for him to come onto the field and thankfully he noticed why I wanted him to come because he soon ran over.
"You gonna help me warm up okay..." I said and he nodded as I passed him the ball. I kept an eye on Liam as he stood by the side of the grandstand, glaring at us. Harry kicked the ball to me a few times and I stopped them, kicked them back and nearly kicked Harry in the gut.
"Sorry..." I said quickly but he just smiled and shook his head.
"Louis!" I turned to see coach there with a look on his face and I smiled.
"Uh he was just helping me warm up coach." I said and he nodded.
"Can you play?" Coach asked, looking directly at Harry.
"No idea sir." He said and the coach nodded.
"Well we just going to have to see then won't we?" Coach said and I gaped at him.
"Wait...What?" Harry choked out.
"Close your mouth and get a team vest. You can play on Louis' team." Coach said and I smiled, watching him walk away.
"I can't play..." Harry said and I smiled.
"You can! Come on." I said taking his hand and running to the bench with all the vests and stuff. We got the green ones while Josh's team got red. Niall and Zayn were with me too.
"Harry? What you doing here?" Zayn asked.
"Coach said he must play." I said and he nodded, patting Harry's shoulder. So the game began and I have to admit that if I am not careful, Harry will end up taking my position as captain. He was just that good. Once we were finished, we all lined up in front of coach and waited.
"Well I think we have one more player for our team." He said looking at Harry and I grinned.
"Really?" He asked and the coach nodded.
"You have got a talent there son. Might as well not waste it." He said and Harry nodded.
"Our first game of the season is in two weeks. We better be ready!" He said and we all cheered.
"Right, off you go! There is no practice tomorrow." He said and we all nodded before walking to the locker rooms.
"I can't believe he actually put me on the team..." Harry mumbled.
"Man he would be mad not too! You sent my team crashing down to the pits of hell with the way you score goals!" Josh said and Harry smiled a bit. I got changed back to my normal clothes. I decided to take a shower once we get home because Harry needed one too and he didn't have gym clothes with him.
"See you boys tomorrow at school!" I called. Many of them said bye and everyone congratulated Harry on his performance as we headed out.
"Liam is probably waiting for us..." Harry said and I sighed, knowing he was right. I took his hand in mine and entwined our finger together. As we walked out the locker room, there stood Liam, leaning against the wall with a angry look on his face.
"So you both think you could dodge me?" He asked.
"No?" I said as he pushed himself off the wall.
"Don't bother trying to act stupid. I know you called him over to help you when you saw me walking towards him." Liam said and I sighed.
"What do you want Liam?" Harry asked as Liam smirked.
"A favour..." He trailed off and I frowned.
"What favour?" Harry asked.
"I have some... stuff that I need to sell. You sell it, and your debt will decrease." He said and Harry visibly gulped.
"What stuff?" I asked but Liam just smirked, looking at Harry.
"Are you in?" Liam asked and I looked to Harry and watched him nod.
"Good. You have a week to get sell it." Liam said and walked away.
"Come see me tomorrow." He called over his shoulder and I frowned.
"What stuff?" I asked and Harry looked away.
"I don't know." He said.
"You do. You just won't tell me." I said and he sighed.
"Its just some stuff Louis. Okay?" He snapped walking off and I sighed.
"Its drugs isn't it?" I asked and he stopped in his tracks.
"You only act like that when it comes to that stuff..." I trailed off as he turned around to look at me.
"I want to drop the debt Louis... It won't be hard." He said but I shook my head.
"How will I know that? How will I know you won't use it?" I asked and he frowned.
"You don't trust me?" He asked and I frowned. How can he think I don't trust him? I have been his friend, I even let him kiss me. I even let my own heart believe in him and actually fall for him?
"How can you think that..." I said backing away from him.
"Well thats what it sounds like." He said all snappy and I sighed.
"I am not doing this. I am not going to fight with you." I said before backing away from him and turning to walk the opposite way down the school hallway.
"Louis! Wait!" He called but I shook my head and carried on walking. I felt him grab my arm and stop me.
"Please don't leave." He begged and I sighed.
"Please don't pick a fight with me!" I said back and he looked down.
"I just thought..." He trailed off and I shook my head.
"You thought I don't trust you. You think if I didn't trust you, I would of let you kiss me and hold my hand and let myself fall for you? Really?" I asked and his eyebrows furrowed together.
"I just... I want a normal life... I just want to pay Liam off so I can get a normal life. I want my normal life with you Louis, but I need to get Liam off my back!! I can't... I can't get you involved in this. I don't want to get you involved in this. Lou you have to understand that I just want you trust me that I won't use the drugs because I still crave them terribly. I have you to think about everytime I feel the need for them..." He said and I sighed, looking down.
"Please don't think I don't trust you Harry. I do. I really do but I just get a bit paranoid..." I said and he nodded.
"Of course, I would too." He said wrapping his arms around me, almost crushing me against his chest. He pulled away and pecked my cheek, then my nose and then my other cheek, making me smile a bit.
"See, this is what I want to live for." He said and I looked at him confused.
"I live to just see your smile." He whispered and I playfully smacked him on the arm.
"OW! What was that for?" He asked and I smirked in satisfaction.
"For being that sappy, cheeky moron!" I said and he chuckled, taking my hand in his as we began to walk to the exit. I wasn't happy about the fact that Harry will be selling drugs, but if it gets Liam off his back... Then I am just going to have to accept that.
