The Bendy Straw

Sick Puppy

*Louis' POV*

I was sitting next to Liam on the couch watching stupid shows. He was cuddled next to me, his head on my shoulder and my arms over his shoulders.

"When do you think we should tell the boys. I mean its not like we can hide the fact that we love each other," Liam said suddenly, not taking his eyes from the television.

"We can do it when ever you want. But sooner rather than later, I don't want to not be able to kiss you infront of them forever" I replied kissing his head. His fever went away and his ankle wasn't as sore as it was. He had to take pain pills for when it hurts. He smiled at my response and quickly kissed my lips.

I felt special whenever I was with him. I don't know what it was, but I always favored Liam. He was so protective and wise, even though he's younger than me. Niall was on the kitchen making some type of snack to carry him over until supper in a couple hours. It was only 4:30, so it was to early to eat. Besides, I wasn't really hungery after the cereal and Liam earlier...

Harry was with some old friends at the park and said he was coming back around six. Zayn was on his room, texting Perrie, his girlfriend. He hadn't gotten to see her a couple weeks so he was grumpy, but he was always in a better mood after talking to her.

About ten minutes later Zayn came downstairs with a big smile on his face.

"What did you guys talk about?" I asked. He smiled even bigger.

"Her tour ends next week so I'll be able to see her! Facetime and Skype isn't the same, it'd be weird if I kissed a screen," Zayn said chuckling. I laughed with him and Liam shifted his position so he wasn't so close. He had pit his ankle on the coffee table and winced.

"Lou, can you go get the pain killers? My ankles bothering me now," he said frowning. I nodded and went to the kitchen to get them. I put them on a cabinet with the silverware, so I know Liam wont get take them without someone getting them for him. He thought I was over reacting but I don't need him to overdose or something, he was better but I don't want him to do something stupid if we ever got into a disagreement. I shuddered at the thought of Liam trying to kill himself. He still didn't know about me cutting, but I wont until I know I'm ready. And right now, I'm not ready.

I grabbed two pills and filled a cup with water. I don't know why but he only likes to take medications if its in pill form. I don't know, he has his certain things he does. I still don't get the spoon thing. He has his own spoons that he keeps in a cup in the cabinet so no one else uses them. I handed to him and he placed them on his tongue and swallowed the water. He smiled after and I smiled back. Niall was taking to Zayn and seemed in deep conversation about something. I sat sown next to Liam and patted his knee.

"Do you want to tell them after dinner? When Harry gets back?" I whispered and he smiled widely and nodded.

"We have to go see management tomorrow. They want to know about your ankle seeing Harry told them. They said they were going to see if they could get it off sooner. If not they have to get you a stool or something," Liam said.

We fell into a comfortable silence and then Liam said he needed to go to the bathroom. Zayn jumped up before I could and he helped him. I have to admit, I was jelous. I sat down and Harry texted me saying he was coming home early because him friend had to go for a family emergency. Great, now I have less time to prepare myself to tell them. We'll have to tell Simon tomorrow and I don't know if he'll be happy about it. God, why am I thinking this? Its going to be fine. Just then Zayn came back with Liam and they took there seats. Liam looked flushed and Zayn looked a little worried. What happened?

"Harry said he's going to be here early. His friend had to leave," I announced and I noticed Liam pale a little bit more. He must have wanted more time like me.
