Model Material- Larry Stylinson

Chapter Twenty Eight

But the sound of a gunshot still cracked through the air. The mere sound breaking the screaming, and the soft swirling of the wind and whistles of birds outside.

"Lou?"

Everything was frozen, like time had stopped in a bubble. The swirls of heavy breathing filled the room, surrounding Harry. 

"You could've-" 

"Get. Out." Harry sneered at Pete, without even batting an eyelid. 

Scrambling himself up off the floor, Pete ran out. His hands clenched his stomach and he limped through the door. 

"Lou?" 

"Baby?" 

Louis stood there, his mouth still wide, staring at the gun in Harry's hand. He couldn't speak. He thought it hit him. He could've died, along with their baby. All because of Harry and his stupid temper. 

"Lou I-" 

"Get away from me." Louis jerked his hand back as Harry went to touch him. 

Without another word, he slowly walked out the door. 

"Louis! No wait I can explain! Lou just come back." Harry pleaded as he followed Louis down the path. 

But Louis was still stuck in a daze of shock. His lips were still slightly parted, and he didn't bother to look at Harry. 

"Louis please I just-" 

"You nearly shot me Harry!" 

"Only because you pushed my arm!" 

"Oh so this is my fault? What was I supposed to do? Let you shoot him and get sent down for murder? You're a real fucking idiot Harry." 

"I didn't mean to pull the trigger. I just, I was scared and angry and-" 

"Boo fucking hoo Harry, you were angry so you shot a gun! You can't just do that, you could've killed me, and you don't even care!" 

"Of course I fucking care, I love you Lou." 

"Don't." Louis turned around, his eyes full of anger. 

"I love you more than anything, don't leave. It was an accident, I promise, I'd never hurt you or our baby. Louis you've got to understand, that man, h-he ugh you know what he did, and then I come and see him sitting with you and I just couldn't take it." 

"Har-"

"Don't leave me." 

For a moment Harry thought Louis had changed his mind. But instead he got a cold glare and watched as Louis walked away. 

"Lou! I love you please don't" he shrunk to the floor as he saw the car door shut. "Don't leave me" he whispered, his eyes flooded with tears as the engine started. And the car pulled off, and a silent plead of "please, please don't leave me" left Harry's lips.

"I love you Lou." Ran through his mind, but never left his mouth, the words being too painful to say out loud.

"You shouldn't have sent him there though!" Louis sneered at Charlie. 

"He sent me that baby scan Louis. He was trying to make me jealous and cause trouble like always. I'm sorry for sending Pete to your house but now you finally see what he's really like. He's not good for you, he's not good for anyone." 

"He's just-" 

"Louis how many times are you going to defend him? He nearly shot you! All because he has a bad temper. Louis, he's always been like this. He's violent and manipulative, and pretty good at being a caring gentleman to cover it up. Why can you never see the real picture Louis?!"
