Alternate Universe

*Harry's P.O.V.*

It's been a little over a year since I moved to Ed's place. Yeah, I don't call him Ginger anymore. I've gotten used to living with him and he's gotten used to me. It took a few months for me to realize that I won't be going back to Louis. Louis tried and tried. He went to court, talked to the child protection whatevers, and begged the police to try and do something about it. But nothing he did worked. I never got to go home to Lou-Lou. But he said that he'll never give up on me. And he hasn't so far.

We've been talking to eachother over the phone and Ed never found out, luckily. Speaking of Ed, once I started getting used to living there, I actually began to talk to him and we carried on a real conversation. Ed is actually really nice. I think of him as a friend now. Speaking of friends, I've actually made some. I made sure to choose them carefully. I didn't want to hang out with bad people who would put a bad influence on me, or good people that I would put a bad influence on. I hang with the... the inbetweeners. Oh yeah! Guess what?

I found out who that boy was down the street! It was Josh Devine, my best friend who moved! He was here. I was so happy when I found out that I started crying. He looked at me like I was crazy. I appeared to be one big ball of emotion. I was overjoyed and didn't know how else to express it other than happy tears. I was walking down the street to get some fresh air when I saw him about about a month after I moved here.

"Josh?" I said stopping in front of his yard.

He was kicking around a football and stopped to look at me. His face was confused, but then his expression lightened when he realized who I was.

"Harry?" he exclaimed.

We both immediatly attacked eachother into a hug. And DAYUM! He is good looking! *Cough, cough* Ignore that I just said that. Anyways, we began to talk about what has happened over the years including if we've had any girlfriends. We also talked about football, school, and Louis. Josh knows about my secret crush on Louis. When I first told him when I was eleven, he thought that I was joking because:

A) I was eleven, he was (and still is) twenty one.

B) He was my foster parent

C) HE'S A GUY

The thing is, I find Louis to be irresistable. I once acted like I was tired and didn't know what I was saying and told him that I thought he was cute. I even asked him to wait on me because one day I'd be old enough to date him. (I was surprised he actually fell for it. I am a terrible actor.) I think he is attractive, kind (when he wants to be), funny, and some kind of perfect. Angelic. I mean... Wouldn't it be nice if I was older? The funny thing is that I thought when I was younger that this crush would go away when I grew up... But it never did. In fact, my love for that boy grew as I grew. Each day, I look at him and listen to him and find something new about him. Something else to make me love him even more.

I once was told that that was love. Love is when you never get tired of someone each time you hear their voice or see their beautiful face. Love is when you'll do whatever you can to make them smile. You'll put them first and never let them down. And the truth is, you never get used to them. You never stop loving them. Which actually sucks when you lose them. Louis was the one who told me all of those things about love. Louis is the reason why I wake up in the middle of the night screaming and crying. The sad part is, the first time that I did that, is when I first talked to Ed.

He asked what was wrong and without thinking, I told him. I told him all about how I love Louis in so many ways- like a brother, a friend, something more... I told him how I hated being there because I lost Louis. And Ed comforted me. He wasn't as bad as I though he'd be. Although, when I asked him to cuddle with me one night, he kind of looked at me weird, so I quickly changed the subject. (Louis is the best cuddler anyways.) That's when I began to realize that Ed is nothing like Louis (except for their love for music). However, I'm alright with that. I like Ed. He's a cool guy. A really cool guy.

We connect mostly over music, which I also imagined him and Louis to do. Ed digs deep into the music and the meaning of the lyrics. He looks into the lyrics and points things out that I never noticed before. People are like that, too. You never notice their special little things until you look a little closer. I find Louis however, to be one of the most interesting human beings in existance. He confuses me. He drives me nuts. The way he talks intrigues me. The way he sings hypnotizes me.

When he laughs, my heart beats a tad bit faster. He makes me want to be romantic, even though I'm only fourteen. But the way he looks at me... He looks at me like I'm nineteen. I don't know why nineteen. I just have a weird feeling. I don't know... Maybe I'm being weird, but there's just something about the way he looks at me that seems strange. Like he's hiding something. Mysterious almost.

I don't know. Lou-Lou is just so... Interesting. Moving on. I've got to tell you a story. So Ed wanted me to try something new at school. These boys, who are all friends of mine needed a lead singer for their band. I found this to be a perfect opportunity to try something new like Ed said. (HA HA. Ed said. That rhymes.) I joined the band and we named ourselves "White Eskimo." Catchy and random.

I like it. There is a battle of the bands competition at my school, so we plan on going to compete. I'll even ask Louis if he can come to the show. As long as Ed doesn't find out, then it's all okay. I'll ask later, though. Louis is at work and right now I'm listening to him on the radio like I do everyday.

"Well isn't it a rainy day today, Grimmy?" Louis says in a happy voice.

It may be rainy and cloudy, but he sure lights up everything with that voice of his.

"It is. But why don't we play some bright music to make our listeners a bit more happy on this gloomy day?" Nick simply says in almost the same tone as Louis.

He's probably mocking how happy Louis is.

"That sounds great, Nick. I think some Liam Payne would be great," Louis says.

I smile. Our love for Liam never did go away.

"Why do you like that guy so much?" Nick asks.

There is a moment of silence and what I somehow recognize as Louis' light breathing until I hear Lou's sweet voice.

"His music reminds me of someone very special in my heart."

"Oooh," Nick cooes. "Is it a special girl?"

A quiet laugh escapes Louis' lips.

"No, Grimmy. It's someone way better."

The beautiful music starts up.

"If you're listening. I love you," Louis says over the introduction music. "You know who you are. This one's for you."

Liam's singing starts up. I lean my head against the kitchen table as I turn the radio up a little louder.

"I love you, too, Boo Bear," I whisper.

"You know who you are."
