Opposites Attract. ~Larry Stylinson~

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Harry's POV.

When Louis and I made eye contact he immediately pulled back into his room as if he felt a sort of shock or someone tugged him in from the inside.

Letting out a long sigh, I heard Zayn's voice flood my ears.

"That's one of the many reasons why, but then there's also more.." He spoke with his eyes on the road, thinking I had been listening the whole time. 

"Yeah.." I mumbled, not knowing what he said, nodding slowly as I turned my head to capture the scenery outside. It was gray, dark. Typical Winter. 

We kept driving ahead, only exchanging a minimal amount of words. I just wanted to speak to Louis. Be able to kiss his pale cheeks and look into his wonderful piercing blue eyes. I just want to be able to make him happy. I want us to live together and have a marvelous life. I want the first thing I see when I open my eyes in the morning to be his beautiful face and his tired eyes. I want the first thing I hear when I wake up to be his groggy, sleepy voice, outlined with rasp on every word he spoke. And the list never ends. It continues on as I fantasize about a person so distant yet so close. Within my reach, one would say. But to me, it is very different. I have never been so attracted, so dare I say, in love, with someone. It is overwhelming, yes.. but you see the beauty, the charm, the whole reason behind the so called "complication" of emotions, that everything bad gets swept away into the midst of things at the back of your buzzing mind.

I just wanted to speak to Louis.

"Are you sure you don't wanna come over so I could drop you off when your mum gets home...?" Zayn began to ask, facing his head in my direction.

I returned the gaze, politely declining the invite.

"No thank you."

"Alright mate, see you tomorrow." He shrugged and nodded a goodbye to accompany his farewell. 

"Mhm." I mumbled loud enough for him to hear, picking my bag up and slipping it over my arm, letting the strap to rest on my shoulder. 

As I began walking up to my mum and I's flat, I hear Zayn's car speed off behind me. All of the sudden, a random thought came to mind. Changing the way I look. 

My look was never a very "trendy" one.. always gaining laughs, whispers, negative attention. 

Contacts.

Wardrobe.

Hair.

That was exactly what I needed to become a bit more.. highschool presentable. 

But I wasn't ready for this change yet. I needed to wait. Wait to reveal this look of mine. Because honestly, the whole nerd look was getting old. It isn't.. me. I mean, yes, I had many tattoos, and without the whole "dork" look I would've been considered a badass, yet I still kept this bland, unappealing icon. 

Once I reached the door, I reached up and slid my fingertips against the top of the doorframe. Knocking the spare key in my hand, I opened my palm and gripped it in between my thumb and index finger, unlocking the door and stepping inside. 

I shut the door behind me, locking it once again, and kicked off my shoes. 

Thought.

Thought is what I needed. I needed to reach to the back of my mind, trouble and eliminate myself. Expose myself to the meanings of deep thought that I didn't need to think about. Go to the hell of my mind and come back with a whole new understanding on most things yet they would still seem as confusing as fuck.

I took my glasses off as I made my way slowly accross the room to reach my bathroom, fumbling through a basket and picking up -what I believed was, and also was- the contacts my mum had bought for me. Carefully, I opened the box and undid all of the packaging and all. Once I had a single contact on my fingertip, I took my other hand a stretched my bottom eyelid, caustiously placing the small contact on my eye and blinking a few times as I wiped away the small gathering tear. 

I could see perfectly from the one eye and I looked -not to be self centered at all- good. 

I repeated the proccess as I placed another one in my other eye, smiling slightly from the bit of progress I had made.

Looks like I actually had a chance of making a new appearance. Maybe girls would swoon over me and not Lou- wait.. what the fuck am I thinking. Louis is the definition of perfection and I'm not even close. Even though Zayn said I have the muscles, I don't see them. I don't see anything good about Harry Edward Styles. I just see something that is a lost cause, worthless being. 

Maybe I should stop..

Maybe I shouldn't. 

I felt the smile completely fall from my face as I clenched my fists. 

Not now, Harry. Just calm down.

I felt the heat rush to my cheeks as I felt so many emotions at the same time.

I needed to sit down and relax and sleep and just.. yeah.

Laying in my bed, I stared at the blank, white ceiling. Mainstream, I know. I thought about things but if it makes sense, I barely payed attention to my thoughts and only focused on Louis. When I saw him through is window today, he looked pale, troubled. His hair was ruffled, a bit on the rowdy looking side. Turning my head towards the window, I could barely see through it since my head was lazily weighing itself down on the soft duvet, but I thought of Louis a few houses down. Something is that lovely, beautiful boy's life was wrong, I could tell. I just wanted to fix that. 

What if I actually gained Louis' trust though..? Would I be able maintaining such a fragile thing, being able to create it into real, genuine trust? I couldn't bare the suspense, nor focus on anything I even bothered to tried to distract myself with. 

Sleep is what I needed, yet I still had to complete my homework and studies. 

I unwillingly lifted my heavy body up from my bed, yawning quite unenthusiastically and stretching my arms up over my head, dragging myself to my small desk at home. I opened up my bag and retrieved my assignments, struggling to complete them for the first time.

And all of this because of making eye contact with Louis Tomlinson.

A/N

Hey guys! So sorry for such a long wait, I just moved across the world and things were kind of difficult. Please excuse that! I promise the next chapter will be up sooner, also, I'm probably mainly going to keep them a little bit longer than this one from now on since I don't have much time to write and I would be updating quicker. Thanks for over 100 reads! <3

Love y'all! xx
