Just the start [Larry, Ziam,]

Chapter 10

       Liam bit his lip as he thought about what to say. He wasn't opposed to telling his parents, but he was pretty sure his dad would be pissed. Zayn huffed impatiently. "I mean," Liam started, "maybe." Harry rolled his eyes. "What do you mean 'maybe'? It's a yes or no question." Liam continued his response. "I would like to tell them, but they might not take it so well. My mother is generally accepting, but my father can be," he paused, "harsh." Zayn nodded, looking at Liam. "Then we can tell your mum, right?" Liam shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so." Zayn's smile was brilliant. "Great," he said right before he pecked Liam on the cheek. 

      Louis looked at Harry “Do you think you’ll tell your parents about us?” Harry scoffed. “No.” Louis looked at him, hurt. “W-why?” Harry chuckled. “I don’t wanna get kicked out!” Louis sat up. “So what?!” Harry eyes darkened. “I’d like to have a fucking home!” Louis sighed. “There’s always my house!” Harry snorted. “Yeah, because I want to deal with all this shit all the time.” Louis stood up abruptly. “What shit?” Harry stood, too. “You’re pathetic! And you are all about yourself!” Louis stepped back. “Excuse me?! You’re the dick here, Mr. I-don’t -give-a-shit. No wonder why everyone thinks you’re a freak!”  Without warning, Harry slapped Louis across his face and suddenly everything stopped. Louis cupped his cheek and moved back, shaking. Liam got up quickly and wrapped his arm around Louis, pulling him out of the room just as he started to cry.

       Liam walked Louis down the hall to an empty room and sat him on the bed. Louis tried to curl into himself. “Lou, no. Don’t do that.”  Louis looked at him with anger. “Why not?! He hates me! I can’t handle this, Liam.” Liam sat down next to him. “You can and you will.” Louis’ hands shook and he rubbed them together. “Get me out of here, Li. Please just take me home.” He started to cry even harder. Liam wrapped his arm around him again. “Okay Lou,” he agreed. Liam walked back into the living room with Louis and looked at Zayn. “Where did Harry go?” Zayn looked at them sadly. “He ran out.” Liam's eyes widened. "And you just let him go!?" Louis stiffened and tugged on Liam's arm "Can we please go now? " Liam rubbed his side and nodded, but looked back at Zayn. "Why did you let him go?" Zayn shrugged. "Because it's better than having him here." Louis whimpered. "Liam, please." Liam nodded. "I'm taking Louis home,” he said to Zayn, who nodded.

      Liam walked out with Louis, holding his waist tightly. Louis leaned against him. "Thanks for helping me." There was an unsaid again at the end of the sentence, but Liam knew what he meant. "You know I'll always help you, don't you?" Liam rubbed his arm, walking to the car. Louis nodded, getting in. "Of course." Liam got in the other side. "I just wanna look out for you." He patted his friend's knee. Louis nodded, wiping his eyes "You're the only who actually does."

           Liam sighed as he walked back into Zayn's flat. “Hey, is Lou okay?” Zayn got up and walked over to him. Liam nodded, hugging Zayn. “Promise we won't ever fight like that?” Zayn pulled away, looking into his eyes “Of course, Li. I could never hurt you or even yell at you.” He kissed him gently. Liam kissed back softly and pulled away after a moment. “Can we go tell my mum?” Liam whispered. “Yeah, of course, baby.” Zayn smiled. “Okay, let's go now.” Liam beamed, taking Zayn's hand. They walked out to the car and Liam silently and nervously drove to his house. When they got there, Liam just stared at his house. Zayn took his hand. “We don't have to tell her. “ Liam shook his head and got out of the car. Zayn quickly followed him. “No. I have to tell her.” Zayn nodded, following Liam up the walkway and into the house. “Mum?” Liam called. Liam's mom walked into the hallway. “Yes?” Liam’s mom smiled. Liam took a breath. “I’m gay and dating Zayn.” Liam's mom chuckled. “Honey, I knew that since you were twelve. Well, the gay part, that is.” Liam eyes widened. “Okay, well, we are going on a date now. Bye!” He grinned and walked out. “That went well.” Zayn smiled.

        Louis walked into his house after convinsing Liam he would be okay by himself and that his mom would be home and she would look after him. Louis walked in slowly into the living room. his eyes were blood red and his face pale. His mom looked up at him “boo? whats wrong?” Louis let out a soft sob and shook his head. Jay got up and hugged him quickly “Hey its okay tell me what happened?” Louis took a shakey breath. “i’m gay and this kid i was dating he and i got in a fight and i said something horibble and he hit me” Louis cried harder. Jay rubbed his back “shhhh its going to be okay. its okay.” Louis sniffled “is it? you dont mind that im gay?” Jay chuckled “Lou. i knew that you and John were dating.” Louis broke into a knew set of tears over his name. “H-he he no he.” he started hyperventilating. Jay pulled away “he did what?” Louis looked at her and then suddenly he couldnt breath and he fell to the floor.

The next day....

      Liam and Zayn sat on the couch with Louis in the middle of them. Harry sat in the chair not looking at them. They were all at Zayn’s place waiting for Niall to arrive. He had called them in hysterics and asked to see them all together. Louis looked over at Harry “why did you have to hit me?” Harry rolled his eyes “because you were being a fucking prick!” Louis glared “you couldve said something rather than hitting me!” Harry shook his head annoyed. “say something!” Louis yelled. Harry looked at him seriously “i wish i never met you.i wish you were dead!.” Louis eyes widened and Liam pulled Louis quickly into a hug rubbing his back. Suddenly Niall walked in eyes red. “i have bad news...”
