Larry Stylinson - I'm only human (and I bleed when I fall down)

I'm only human, and I crash and I break down

The air still felt slightly heavy whenever her name was brought up. Louis would flinch at it, feeling a louder thump of his heart against his ribs. It didn't hurt as much as it had the five months before, but it was all too much for him.

His relationship with Eleanor came to an end after 2 years of ups and downs when the girl said she was 'fed up' with all the rumours going around about him and Harry, his bandmate. Louis had tried to calm her down, thinking she was only on a bad day and that this would be one of their 'normal' fights.

But it wasn't.

The beautiful brunette had started crying and said it was over. Said she was done. She couldn't make it anymore, as she felt that Louis was, indeed, closer to his friend than her.

She was sweet enough to tell Louis that she loved every minute spent with him, and she would never make him choose between his friends and her, but she also added that she knew the truth. He just had to figure it out yet, even though it was pretty obvious to everyone else.

Then, Eleanor left the room and, consequently, Louis's life.

Five months later, here Louis was, feeling slightly better, but still with a broken heart. His hair was slightly greasy and his clothes were the same he had chosen two days ago.

He looked through the many channels on the TV, not finding anything interesting.

Louis thought. He thought long and hard. About him and Eleanor. About their relationship. About it's ending. About this 'truth' Eleanor had mentioned. About her insecurities due to his and Harry's close friendship. And, eventually, about him and Harry.

Was his ex-girlfriend referring to them when she said she knew that he still had to organise his thought and find out who he was?

In all honesty, Louis was devastated. He didn't know what to do, or even think anymore! There was Eleanor and everything they had been through. And he was so hurt about it all that he was almost 100% sure he was still in love with her.

But then... Harry.

No! Never! Harry was his best friend, for crying out loud! And he was a guy! Like Louis! He had wiped his tears when Louis came home with a broken heart!

This whole 'Larry' bullshit had to end! He was so tired that it almost made him hate Harry! And that was saying a lot!

As the thought flooded the blue eyed boy's mind, he felt his anger pumping through his veins, his fists clenching on his leg and the TV remote.

It was all his own fault for being so touchy with Harry! He wasn't gay, for God's sake! Hell no!

He didn't have anything against gays or whatever, but him?! No! He couldn't! He wasn't! He loved Eleanor!

Infuriated by all the things flying around his head, Louis stood up and went to his room, where he took a small box out from under his bed, peeking inside of it.
