The Neighbors

Chapter 35

**Harrys POV**

"Hey Mum," I say as I walk through the door.

"Oh hey Harry, how was Louis'?" She asks and turns to look at me.

She's sitting on the couch with a cup of tea.

"It was fun, I uh, wanted to tell you something," I say and feel my stomach twist.

Louis brought me home after we went out to eat. I had a lot of fun and I honestly didn't wan to come home.

"Sure sweetie, you can tell me anything," she says and pats the spot next to her on the couch. I make my way over to her and sit with an arm around her. I give her a big hug.

"Harry, whats wrong?" She asks.

"Nothing's 'wrong', it's just, I have a big crush on Louis," I admit and my stomach flips when I say it. I tell my Mum everything And I don't want to be like Louis and hide anything. Even if this is just a phase, I trust my Mum and I know she'll understand. She's one of my best mates.

"You like him? Does he like you?" She asks. I feel the pressure let off and relax. I'm glad her reaction wasn't crazy.

"Uh, yeah, we were actually on a date today," I say.

"He's a sweet boy," she says and sips her tea.

"You don't think it's weird.. That I'm gay?" I ask.

"Do you think you're gay?" She asks.

"Well, actually, no, I don't really fancy other guys," I say. I think for a second, "but I don't think I've ever liked a girl the same way either," I say.

"Maybe Louis' your soul mate," she says half teasing. I chuckle with her but, it gets me wondering.

**Louis' POV**

"You back already?" Mom asks sarcastically. I stayed out pretty late with Harry. I chuckle and plop down next to her on the couch next to her.

"Who won bowling?" She asks.

"Uh, I did," I lie.

"Really?! You're so bad at bowling?" She says with a playful smile.

"Harrys much worse," I tell her.

"You two spend quite a bit of time together," she notes. I adjust in my seat uncomfortably.

"Yeah, he's my best friend," I say.

"You two could be gay lovers with how close you are," she laughs and I force myself to laugh along.

"Yeah, uh where's dad?" I ask.

"You sure are anxious to change the subject, he's asleep upstairs... Is there something you want to tell me?" She asks seriously. I force myself to chuckle again.

"No mom, there's nothing," I lie and it sort of hurts.

"Honey, you know that time when you were so excited for that soccer game that you practiced every night in your bedroom, and one night you knocked over a lamp and broke it," she says.

"Yeah, I remember," I say.

"You came crying and you thought I didn't love you anymore," she says. She puts a hand on my knee, "Boobear, I will love you no matter what," she says and I grab her in a big hug.

"Mom, I'm gay," I say in a whisper.

"I knew it, no straight man has a butt like that," she says and pinches my butt, making me jump.

"Mom!" I whine and rub my butt.

"Does Harry know you are gay?" She asks, still hugging me.

"Yeah, we went on a date today," I say.

"Boobear! Harrys gay?" She says.

"I don't know, he thought he was straight when I met him, but he told me he has feelings for me a few days ago," I tell her. Harrys confusion confuses me as well. I don't know what he is.

"He likes you! He is going to be the perfect son in law. I love that boy!" She says and I laugh again.

"He is pretty great," I say.

"When are you going to tell your dad?"

"I don't know," I say.

**Logan's POV**

Starving. I want nachos. I'm also tired. What do I do? This internal battle is killing me.

Eventually my hungry side wins and I climb out of bed. I start to walk down the stairs when I hear Harry talking to mum.

"But I don't think I've ever liked a girl the same way either," he says. What?

"Maybe Louis is your soulmate," mum says. Louis? That would explain all the time they've been spending together. I descend the stairs quickly and walk through the living room.

"Hey Logan," Harry says and waves.

"So, Louis, huh?" I says. His face turns bright red and he grabs a pillow to cover it and slumps down on the couch.

"You heard that?" He says through the pillow. Mum laughs at him and pokes his side.

"Sit up Harry," she teases and he does sit up, but still covers his face.

"Louis a cool guy, I approve," I say and start walking to the kitchen.

Louis is a cool guy. Yeah, it's a bit of surprise that Harry could be gay, but I honestly don't care, as long as he's happy.

Honestly, I'm more worried about getting nachos.

Harry comes into the kitchen and pulls himself into the counter. He sits cross legged and I dump crisps onto a plate.

"You don't think it's weird that I could be gay?" He asks.

"Could be?" I ask and look at him for a second before looking back to my plate. I dump cheese on my crisps and throw the plate into the microwave.

"Well, I like Louis, so I guess," he says and I look up at him.

"Do you like guys?" I ask. He is confusing me.

"I like one guy," he says. He so damn confusing.

"Do you like girls?" I ask.

"No, not really," he says.

"You've made out with plenty of them," I tell him but it sounds kind of like a question.

"I still haven't liked them the same way, it's just hard to explain," he says and runs his hands through his curly hair. Our hairdresser gave us all the same haircut, but it looks too good for me to change it.

"Maybe you're 'Louis-sexual'," I suggest and the microwave dings. I open it up and grab my plate to set on the counter.

"Shit! Hot!" I curse and drop the plate on the counter. It lands normally and doesn't spill, thank god.

"Use and oven mit, dumbass," Harry says and I roll my eyes at him.

"Watch your mouths!" My mum shouts from the living room.

"Sorry mum," Harry and I groan at the same time.
