War Is Love

Chapter eight

I arrived at school with Louis. He wouldn't hold my hand or even touch me in a relationship like way, it's like he wanted to hide our relationship

"Harold, let's not do this in public"

"Why?"

"Cause, I don't want people getting involved" Louis replied. I couldn't argue with him, he did have a good point but, is he afraid of what people will think? I nodded and walked off to class

*Louis' POV*

I don't want Harry to think that us making out yesterday was only a one time thing. I have really strong feelings for him, I want this to continue. I stopped Harry before he left

"I don't want this to go the wrong way, you still mean a lot to me" I said as I held his hand. There was no one around at the point... Well I guess but I didn't see anyone. Harry smiled and gave me a hug

*Harry's POV*

I felt kinda strange. That's when I pulled away from Louis

"What's wrong?" He asked

"I really don't know" I looked around thinking there was someone watching. We were both outside the school at the time.

"It's okay, you're just over reacting" Louis gave me another hug to snap me out of what was going through my head before I left to class.

Through that whole week, Louis and I became closer, day by day we were so glad to see each other. We'd study together, finish homework together and help each other on projects. We were officially a couple but no one knew about it but us.

Me and Louis grew stronger through the week. We've been together for a whole week. Austin came back from suspension yesterday but surprisingly didn't do anything to me. That same day, I took Louis home with me.

"Hey mum" I said and kissed her on the cheek

"Hey Anne" said Louis behind me

"Hey boys, how was school?" Mum asked

"Good" we replied. I grabbed Louis' hand and ran upstairs with him

*Anne's POV*

Harry grabbed Louis' hand and ran upstairs with him. I looked at the both of them weirdly as they both went off, but they're just the weirdest friends you could ever meet. I continued cleaning the dishes

*Harry's POV*

Louis was on his laptop and I was laying on my bed reading. We both glanced at each other and began laughing for some reason

"What's so funny?" Asked Louis

"I don't know, I'm   just laughing at you laughing back at me" I replied. Louis and I playfully pushing and grabbing on each other.

*Anne's POV*

I walk upstairs and hear Harry and Louis laughing and saying "stop" to each other. I walked by Harry's room, the door had a little opening for me to see through and I saw them playfully grabbing on each other. It wasn't just a normal thing, it made me think if they were really friends or were they something more. I had the nerve to knock on Harry's door and ask what's going on. As I could still kinda see, Harry got off of Louis and replied saying

"Nothing" Louis was laying in the other side still giggling about the situation they were in. I'm starting to think.

*Harry's POV*

"Alright, dinners also ready" mum added.

"We'll be there, just a sec" Louis put his large arms around my shoulders and kissed me on the cheek

"Louis stop that!" I laughed

*Anne's POV*

Is this a friend's thing? I swear I thought I saw Louis kiss Harry. I must be over reacting, they're just friends.

Everyone was at the dinner table eating, Louis and Harry kept looking at each other and giggling. Boys can be boys, so instead I let that slip off my mind.

"So Louis? What grade are you in again?" I asked

"Twelve, I'm in grade twelve" Louis nodded his head. I wanted to get to know him more

"Really?" I looked amused

"Yeah, for second semester, I'm doing a lot of arts and singing" he added

"Can you sing for us?" I asked. Louis awkwardly laughed

"No" he says. Louis looks at Harry and Harry shrugs at him

"Well, I'm just going to get you a glass of water"

"Thanks ma'am"  Louis says as I get up to to get a glass cup from the covers. I kept glancing back at Louis and Harry as they both giggled at each other. I saw their feet from where I was standing and they were playing with each other's feet and that's something couples do. Is Harry gay? That's what I'm asking myself.

"Excuse me for a sec" I left the kitchen and began crying. How could I have not known? That showed me that Harry still isn't comfortable telling me things.

                    *Harry's POV*

        Mum walked back into the kitchen. She looked kinda messy as if something went wrong. Her eyes were kinda red and she was sniffing. I think she was crying

"Mum are you okay?" I asked

"Yeah, I'm fine" she replied. I felt worried like I did something or something I don't know about us going on.

"Let's talk somewhere private" I said. I got up from my chair and led mum upstairs

"I know something's up, what is it?" I asked. Mum didn't even answer

"Please tell me, I wanna help"

"It's you Harry" she said quietly

"Me? What did I do?"

"You and Louis... There's something going on between you two, is there something you aren't telling me Harold?" She responded. I felt shocked.

"How'd you know?"

"The way you guys play fight with each other, the faces and signs you make at the table and the touchy thing you two do with your feet... It's very obvious Harry" mum turned away trying to hold back a tear

"Are you gay?" She asked. I took a long blink and nodded my head

"Why didn't you tell me? Baby You are my son, you tell me everything we already went through this"

"I'm sorry I just..." I sighed

"I'm sorry"

"It's okay Harold, but please don't hide anything from me" mum began to cry

"When you do that, it makes me feel like a terrible mother cause I'm not trust worthy enough for you" she added. I gave her a hug

"You're not a bad mother don't say that to yourself, you're an amazing mum, I love you" I continued hugging her

"Don't you ever put yourself down like that"

"You know I just want the best for you" she added.

"I'll see you downstairs" she said as we stopped hugging. She left into her room to take a break. I went downstairs and didn't find Louis

"Louis?" I called. I looked around and found a note on the chair he was sitting on

"Just so you know, I went home cause I felt I had to. Sorry if I upset you -Louis"
I smiled to myself and took his plate away.
