A Love To Remember - Larry Stylinson

Chapter Two - 'You'll never be accepted'.

* * *

"But that's not fair!"

"Nothing in life is fair Harry, deal with it!"

Niall and Liam listened eagerly as Harry argued with the head of Modest! Management. Harry was tired of hiding Larry Stylinson, it was all getting far too much for him to handle.

"I love Louis and Louis loves me!"

"You can't love each other, you're in a boyband. You're target audience is young teenage girls who dream about marrying one of you 5 boys. Think of how heartbroken they would be if they found out that two of their idols were 'going out' with each other. They'd be crushed knowing their idols were gay."

"And you think me and Louis aren't crushed having to hide our love, having to pretend we're something that we're not?!"

"Lets just put it this way, you will never be accepted here if you're gay. Understood?"

That was it, Harry had had enough. The chair screeched across the floor as an angry and upset Harry got up to leave the room. As he opened the door, he was greeted by Niall and Liam, both with their ears pressed against the wall, listening in on the whole argument.

Harry charged past them both and headed down the corridor towards the toilets. Just as the toilet door slammed, Louis had walked around the corner.

"Hey Niall, was that Harry?" Louis asked looking very concerned.

"Um, yeah bud, you might wanna go check on him".

"He's just had a bit of a.. Well.. lets say he's just come out of a rough conversation with Steve." Liam added.

"Cheers lads." Louis said as he jogged down the corridor, away from Liam and Niall.

He entered the toilets, to see Harry bent over the sink. A loud sniffle was heard, and it was then obvious to Louis that Harry had had a bit more than a 'rough conversation' with Steve.

"Harry, what's wrong? What happened?"

"I'm sick of it Lou, I can't do it anymore." Harry said through the soft sound of sniffles and tears.

"What did he say?" Louis questioned.

Silence.

"Harry, tell me what he said". This time it wasn't a question.

"He said-"

Silence again.

"..he said we'd never be accepted if people found out we were gay". Harry continued, eventually getting his words out.

"Harry, please don't worry about it. Of course we'll be excepted. And if not, we'll find out who the real fans are, because they'll be the ones who stay by our sides, no matter what our sexuality is. But we just can't come out yet. I'm so sorry baby". Louis tried to make it as easy as possibles but things were hard.

"I- I understand, Lou".

"Harry look at me". Louis tilted up Harry's chin. His soft, plump lips pressed against Harry's. He pulled away from the kiss, looked deeply into Harry's watery eyes and said:

"Just remember, no matter what happens. I love you and you only, ok?"

"I love you too".
