Took me long enough, but here you go. x

Everything around Louis felt like it was moving in slow motion. He felt several gazes on him perforating him with their confused, shocked or angry looks. He ripped his eyes from Gina who was still standing in front of him with a glare plastered on her face and turned to Niall and Jacky, both frozen and waiting for him to say something, but instead of doing so his eyes wandered further to Liam who raised his eyebrows awaiting an answer as well, not knowing how to save the situation. Lastly he glanced at Harry who was thankfully staring at the surface of the table. If he would look at him now Louis didn't know what he'd do.

"I-" He swallowed thickly and forced himself to get a clear mind again as he turned his head back to Gina. "It's not true." He tried weakly.

"Bullshit!" She spat. "I heard it! Everyone heard the record of you two in the restroom! At least don't fucking lie to me!"

She spun around and rushed towards the exit angrily.

"What the fuck?" Louis breathed out desperately.

"Someone was there." Liam muttered horrified.

"Fuck. What do we do now?" Niall asked.

"I have no fucking idea." Louis sighed defeated, he could feel several gazes on him and didn't even dare turning around.

It wasn't a big deal, such things happened every time one of the popular kids had a new love interest, but this time it felt like the big bang because he knew what was at stake- and everyone else at the table knew it as well.

"Lou?" Harry whispered.

Louis had completely forgotten how much it would affect Harry and within the blink of an eye he was entirely clear in his mind. He turned to him and saw the scared look on Harry's face, his own face softened to not work him up even more.

"I know, baby. It's going to be fine, yeah?" He assured quietly and Harry nodded, but he wasn't convinced. Louis wasn't either.

"Let's wait a few days and see if it dies down." Jacky suggested.

"It won't. We need to think of a good story, because everyone will want to know who it is." Niall said worried.

"I can't do this right now, sorry." Louis got up when everything got too much for him and he got up to leave the room and be alone.

Everywhere he went he could feel the gazes on him and it was driving him crazy. Panic erupted inside of him as he was blindly wandering through the halls of the school, almost stumbling over his feet when his head started spinning. He knew it was a bad idea from the beginning and now it was just a matter of time until anyone found out and then it was all over, he just knew it. They've been so careful at all times, he always made sure no one saw them or heard them talking and now because of something stupid like this the entire school knew.

Without thinking or caring about it he left the school property and drove home, to be alone and demolish something or cry in peace. He stepped into the house and as soon as the door was closed his eyes welled up and he slumped against it sliding down on the ground.

"Fuck..." He croaked out and buried his face in his hands crying silently.

"Darling, what are you-" Jay appeared in the doorway and looked at Louis confused whose head shot up in terror and Jay gasped at his red eyes. "Oh, baby. What happened?" She rushed over to him and crouched down.

As soon as her knees touched the ground Louis let out a sob and threw himself in her arms crying in her shoulder. Jay was in a state of shock not knowing her son like this, but she hugged him tight placing a kiss to his head.
