Fight Me Bitch

Chapter 11 [Part 2]

     When Louis said don’t leave, he meant it pretty literally Niall stayed over Louis’ and borrowed his clothes so they could go to school together.

-

            Niall walked into Louis’ last class and excused himself, “excuse me Mr. Tomlinson.” Louis stopped teaching and smiled, “Hey, what’s up?” Niall walked over to him and spoke quietly, “Zayn called me and said that he wanted us to check out the training room if we wanted to come earlier? I said I wasn’t sure cause I have to ask you…” Louis bit his lip, “after school I gotta pick El cause her cars messed up so I’ll meet you there.” Niall smiled, “Kay, sounds good.” He turned toward the class, “sorry! Proceed with your learning!” The kids looked at him strangely and some laughed.

-

            “Darren, can you wait a moment. I wanna talk to you please.” Darren nodded as the rest of the class left. Louis smiled warmly, “Um… I was wondering if you’ve heard anything about Harry?”

            “Well, I’ve been grounded so I haven’t been to any fights recently but I do know that he’s out of the finals. Fucking bummer.” Louis nodded, “You know why?”

            Darren shrugged, “probably cause of you. I mean he was doing some interviews and he was saying that he was distracted and stuff.” Louis cringed, almost forgetting that his students knew.

            “Okay, thanks.”

            “You know, it’s okay if you’re gay Mr.” Louis was taken back. “Wha-“ “Like no one’s gunna hate you cause you’re gay. Mr. Horan’s gay and everyone loves him. I mean I wouldn’t know but it’s okay to be gay. You don’t have to be scared.” Louis was in awe.

            “Thank you Darren, see you Monday.”

            “See ya.”

-

            “Shit!” Louis cursed. He had no gas and he was about 9 blocks away from the fight club. He pulled over the side of the road when his car made a funny noise.

            “Fuck me!” he let his head hit the stirring wheel. This is all Eleanor’s fault, he thought glaring at nothing. Louis pulled out his phone and dialed Niall…

            “Hello?”

            “Ni?”

            “Hey love! Where are you, the fight starts in like 10 minutes?”

            “Uh- well… I’m in a bit of a mess actually.”

            “Hold on Zayn, Louis’ in a mess! What happened! Where are you?”

            “No! Calm down! I’m fine, I just ran out of gas and I’m stuck on the side of the road…”

            “Oh! Thank goodness… no Harry he’s fine, just ran out of gas.” Niall laughed, “I thought you were being kidnapped.”

Louis sighed, “No I’m fine, just need a ride.”

“A ride? Harry says he’ll go pick you up?”

Louis bit his bottom lip, “yeah… okay.”

“Okay you can go get him- where are you?”

-

            Louis waited uneasily for Harry to arrive. What would he say? He knew he was going to apologize but how? ‘I’m sorry’ would do. Shouldn’t he say more? Maybe he could drive and get him a gift…but his car is out of gas. Louis was having internal friction and hadn’t noticed Harry pulled up behind his car.
