I was standing at my locker at the end of school, gathering up what I needed to take home when I overheard a conversation two girls where having. "So you know that new kid Harry? Apparently he announced that he was gay in the middle of his math class!"

"What? Like he just stood up and said it?" "Kind of, yeah; so you know how the dance is coming up? Well this girl was asking Harry if he was going to take anyone." "Uh-huh...and?" "Well when he said no and she was like "You know, no one has asked me yet..." and he was like "Sorry, but I don't like girls" "How do you know this?" "Well Abby told me and she heard it from Taylor who heard it from Bethany who heard it from Amanda who heard it from Asher who heard it from Brenden who takes the same math class!"

I closed my locker with a sigh, the news that Harry was gay was all anyone was talking about today; and knowing this school, was all anyone was going to be talking about for the entire month.

I turned and walked away from my locker and made my way to my car but I was intercepted by Liam "Hey Lou, Zayn and I are going to Niall's house to watch the football game, you should come!"

Normally I would have shoved Liam into my car and made my way straight to Niall's house but the only thing that was on my mind was Harry. "Maybe a little later yeah? I've got some studying to do" I lied, trying to escape from Liam to check on Harry who went home early as the rumor went. "Study? You? You haven't done homework or taken your own exams for over two years, you have people for that; why do you need to study?"

"Chase is going out of town next week and Adam has his own exams so I'm on my own" I said, making up a lie on the spot. Liam laughed "Well look how the mighty have fallen; Louis Tomlinson actually has to do something for himself now. Alright I'll let the guys know you're not going to come, we'll see you tomorrow morning" I nodded and Liam walked away.

"You look a little lost" the store clerk said as circled the small shop for the third time. I didn't want to show up to Harry's house empty handed, but I didn't know what to do this in this situation. I stuck my hands in my leather jacket "umm, I sorta... screwed up, what do you recommend as an apology gift?" The clerk thought for a second "Well you can't go wrong with roses and chocolate." I felt like a total idiot walking out with three dozen red roses and a giant box of chocolates in a heart shaped box.

I pulled up at Harry's house and my heart sank as an unfamiliar car was parked in front of his house; his mother or sister were probably home. Pulling out my phone I dialed Harry and brought the phone up to my ear, but my call was rejected after three rings. I redialed him and again my call was rejected, before I could try a third time I got a text from Harry "Leave me alone Louis".

"I'm not asking you to forgive me, I just want to talk" I replied. "No" was all he said. "Harry please, look what I got for you" I texted him as I sent him a picture of the roses and chocolate that where on my passenger seat. "Throw them away, like how you threw away my heart this afternoon" his reply came. I sighed and placed my head against my steering wheel "I'm so sorry Harry, but I couldn't help, you know that" I explained.

No reply came.
