Mood: Broken Glass by Sia (the lyrics go amazing with this chapter.

Boyfriend.

Harry called Louis his boyfriend. To his mum. He called him boyfriend. To others it probably doesn't sound like such a big deal but to Louis who is supposed to be straight to the public eye for Harry's career and for him to say that to his homophobic mother of all people...

He watches as the crowd disappears behind him and he just hopes none of those paparazzi heard what Harry said. If they did, well, it was going to get nasty pretty soon.

Harry was quiet next to him, clenching and unclenching his jaw. Louis took his hand softly, rubbing circles on his palm.

"Thank you." He mumbles, his voice quiet. Harry looks at him, raising an eyebrow.

"For what?"

"What you said to Johannah. If any of those paparazzi heard then--"

"I don't care if they heard. Your mother doesn't have boundaries. It wouldn't surprise me if she followed us home. As a matter of fact, maybe we should check if we're being followed." Harry says, turning to look back.

"She's not my mother. I mean, she birthed me but she has no right to be my mother." Louis replies and Harry gives him a lopsided smile. They fall back into comfortable silence, their breaths and the soft humming of the driver the only noise.

"You're amazing. I hope you know that." Harry whispers into his ear before pulling away and smiling smugly.

Harry Styles Gay?

A video has recently surfaced of singer and songwriter Harry Styles referring to his friend Louis Tomlinson, a newfound model for Adidas, as his boyfriend. These rumors are just adding to the drama filled popstar. He lied about a pregnancy, dating dozens of women, was caught kissing another man and now this!

He seemed obviously tipsy and the woman he was rudely yelling at is claiming to be Tomlinson's mother.

Whether any of these rumors are true or not, no one has spoken up about it. We'll keep in you updated, and watch the video below, and tell us your thoughts on all of this!

Louis stares at his phone in shock. This isn't happening. He groans and locks his phone, tossing it on the bed. He could hear Eleanor and Alice laughing in the room next door and he wonders how it feels to be that carefree. He hasn't been able to really enjoy his life in a while.

Sure, being with Harry is absolutely amazing, he's amazing, but.

He was ruining his career. He was putting him through all this stress and pain and he was probably stressing Harry out as well.

He thinks about Harry's life. Was this all worth it? Was being with him really worth it? Losing his career, his fans, his everything? All for a little romance?

Louis sighs, running a hand through his hair. Harry was in the bathroom, taking a shower, erasing all memories from last night.

He could hear the water shutting off faintly. A few minutes later, Harry walks in, in a pair of basketball shorts and nothing else. His hair was dripping wet, small drops falling onto the floor as he made his way towards Louis.

He sits next to him, slipping his feet under Louis' bum.

"Oi!" Louis squeals, glaring at Harry.

"My feet are cold and your bum is warm." Harry replies simply, smiling. Louis rolls his eyes and grabs his phone again. He unlocks it and feels Harry lean over to look.

"What's that?" He asks when he sees his name.

"This one article." He says, about to exit it but Harry takes his phone and eyes it for a few seconds. He sighs and stares at Louis with worried eyes.

"It's okay...we're okay." He whispers softly and Louis shakes his head.

"This is all proper bullshit. I'm just so--ugh!" Louis scoffs, unable to form an actual sentence in his anger.

"Lou...calm down." Harry mumbles, reaching a hand over and rubbing his back softly. Louis hunches over and covers his face in his hands.

"Is it worth it?" He asks, his voice muffled. Harry gives him a quizzical look even though he isn't watching him.

"What are you talking about?" He questions.

"Is it worth it? Are we worth it? Or are we just fucking around?" Louis asks, looking up at Harry with glassy eyes.

"Of course we're worth it. Babe, why are you doubting us?"

"Because this isn't fair! It's not fair that we have to hide! It's not fair that we have to pretend! I hate it!" Louis shouts, his voice breaking. Harry frowns and pulls him onto his lap. He hugs him tightly, trying to keep him grounded.

"I know it isn't fair, lovely. Trust me, I know. But don't give up on us. I'm in love with you and I hope you feel the same way. We can get through this." Harry whispers, kissing the top of Louis' forehead.

"I'm sorry." He says, his voice broken, "I have no right to complain. You get the worst of it. You have to go through so much more than me and I--"

"Hey, don't say that. Complain all you want. I'm here to listen." Harry mutters. Louis breathes shakily, resting his head on Harry's chest.

"When will it end? When can you--we--be free?" Louis asks and Harry is quiet for a moment.

"I don't know, darling. But hold on okay?"

Louis gives him a small nod. Harry smiles and kisses his hair again, tightening his arms around his waist.

"One day, our love will be written in stories. A young lovers romance for everyone to read. They'll read our struggles, and feel our pain. But for now, it's just you and me. Us against the world. We'll get through this, Lou."
