I love him (L.S.)

Chapter 11

Louis

"WHAT!?" Was the first thing that came out of Harry's mouth.

Wait. What?

"My wedding ring? Louis, I'm not married. What the hell." He sounded very offended.

"But, but I- But" I couldn't make up words. So Harry isn't married?

"Of course I'm not." Oh I said that out loud.

He was looking at me like I had horns coming out of my head.

"Why would you thing that Lou?" He asked, His finger moving through my hair.

"I- It's just. You know, the ring. Miss Styles." I averted my gaze to the floor looking upset.

He tilted my chin back up, staring right into my eyes. "MISS Styles Louis."

My eyebrows raised. I heard him curse under his breath before I speaking aloud once again. "Jesus Christ Louis. You're supposed to be smart. Not this dumb."

"Hey thats rude."

He rolled his eyes. "Miss Styles, Louis. Not Mrs. That's my sister."

Realization hit me like a ton of bricks. The eyes. The smile. The nose.

Oh god, Harry is literally the male version of Gemma.

What the fuck was I thinking.

"How am I so dumb..." I whispered.

"I wonder too." He snorted.

"of fuck.." I buried my face in the crook of his neck. This is so fucking embarrassing.

"Lou? Kiddo, you in there?"

Shit

I pulled away to look at Harry. He had the same terrified look on his face.

"Follow my lead." He whispered, getting up to unlock the door.

The door opened to reveal my worried brother.

"Harry.... What are you doing in here with him." His voice threatening as hell.

"He was having a breakdown. I heard him when I walked into the restroom. So, I was just calming him down Zayn."

Zayn quickly turned to me, bombarding me with questions on what happened and whether I'm fine now.

After coming up with a partially true reason for my breakdown, we went back to our table.

My hot chocolate was placed next the Gemma. So, I just took that seat. "You okay Louis?" Her voice glazed with worry. "I had a feeling something was wrong. I would have came to check on you but it was the Men's room. That's why I sent H." She said in a hushed voice.

She sent Harry to check on me.

I smiled. "I'm okay. Just got upset being called a kid."

"Was it the word kid or it coming from Harry's mouth?" She gave me a suggestive look.

I looked at her in pure surprise. Zayn interrupted the moment though.

"What? Is there some Teacher student conversation going on. I'd like to hear too."

Gemma laughed. "No Zayn I was just asking if he was okay.

The drink and food was nice. They were having conversations that didn't really bother me. I was very involved when they were talking about football though.

Other than that my focus was on stealing glances at Harry without anyone noticing.

The action didn't go totally unnoticed though. Harry caught me. A sly smirk dancing on his lips.

I blushed and quickly looked away.

Now here we are, parting ways.

"Bye Lou! I'll see you at school tomorrow." Gemma gave me a tight hug. I really like her. I got to know her as a person more than as my teacher.

"Bye Gemma! Does this mean you'll go easy on me with the homework submission tomorrow."

"Definitely not." She chuckled and shook her head. I could see from the corner of my eyes that Harry was looking at us fondly.

With a slight blush, I turned and looked at him. "Bye Harry..."

"Bye Lou" He said pulling me into a hug. "See you soon, Baby" He bent to whisper in my ear.

The pink on my cheek became darker. He pulled away and sent me a wink. My neck snapped to the direction of Z. Thank goodness he was busy on his phone.

Right on cue, he looked up to Gemma and Harry. "Bye guys! I just got called in for work. I'll see yall soon"

"Fuck you Zayn!"

"Watch your mouth Louis."

"I don't give a shit about what you say. You can go fuck yourself!"

"Louis William Tomlinson!"

Tears started to cover my vision. I fell into his arms. Bury my face in his shoulders. My body shaking as I cried.

It was 3 am. Why were we awake?

Long story.

Well actually, not that long.

I was woken up from my sleep an hour ago. It took me a few minutes to understand that Z was talking and another couple minutes to process what he was saying. And when I did, all hell broke loose.

The argument got VERY heated.

"I don't want you to leave Z. Please stay." My voice muffled as I hugged him tighter.

"I'll miss you too kiddo but I really need to go." He needed to go to LA for a shoot with those magazine people.

"But I need you here. And what about the match? You promised you would be there."

"Lou. Babes. Look at me" He slowly pushed me off him. Keeping his hands on my shoulder. "You mean the world to me. And I know how much this football match means to you. But this is an opportunity I might never get again. So please, Understand Lou."

I was being selfish. And a little baby.

"I'm sorry Z" I sniffled. "This is huge for you. I'm really happy.. I just don't want to be that far from you. And it doesn't help that I'll be all alone."

"You won't be alone kiddo. I've talked to H and Li. They'll come by whenever they can. I also told them you could stay at theirs overnight if you are comfortable with it. I can speak to Niall's mum if you want to stay there." He ran his fingers through my hair.

"I love you Lou. Please understand this has always been my dream. If I see you crying I'll probably drop everything and stay."

"No no Z. You go. I'm really proud of you." I hugged him once again. "I love you big bro."

He placed a kiss on my head.
