Chapter 30

Nathan POV

*Start of the spring semester*

Everyone is breaking, I can see it in their eyes, I can see it in how they interact with each other.  It all started with Louis and Leightons birthday party, Sophia and Amelia snapped. Sophia spilled to Niall that Zayn and Leighton snogged, Niall hasn’t looked at her since. I personally don’t know why hes all bent out of shape for, everyone knew/knows the kind of girl Leighton is. Leighton is desperately trying to get him to pay attention to her. Its weird, he’s livid with Leighton but perfectly fine with Zayn.

Amelia practically told everyone one in the school about Harry and Louis’ secret, Harry denied it. He’s still denying it, he avoids Louis like the plague, he doesn’t realize he pushing Lou closer and closer to me. I know harry wants him though,  every time Louis is talking to me, Harry clenches in jaw, balls his hands into fists and glares.

Liam though, he fucked up…Bad…

Liam POV

*Twins Birthday Party*

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUBLE L!!!!!!!” everyone shouted as we took our 246324583427th shot!

“I really wish Zayn and Jes were here!” Leighton whined “Shes my only girlfriend right now!” she pouted 

“yeah me too!” I shout over the music

I turned to grab another drink and when I turned back around she was gone, so I kept drinking, dancing and drinking some more.

*the next morning*

Ugh, I feel like shit! My head is pounding, my body is aching and I have no idea where I am. I slowly opened my eyes to see I was in one of Nialls guest rooms, I slid to the edge of the bed and threw my hands into my hands.

“my FUCKNG head is killing me!” I shouted “whyyyyyyyyyyyy” I groaned

The bed shifted.

The fuck?

“Shhhhh, its too early” someone whispered

I slowly turned to see wild curls sticking out from under the covers.

“WHAT THE FUCK!”

“Seriously dude! Shut up!” she sat up and only then did I notice we’re both naked.

I jumped up from the bed scurrying to find my clothes, “Nonononononononononono no no noooo!”

“Liam calm down” she whispered as she walked towards me “Secrets safe with me babe, call me sometime” she kissed my cheek and handed me a piece of paper.

‘Call me

44 20 7851 1795

Xo Dani’

She walked out of the door and I heard her gasp for air but I don’t pay attention to it. I pulled my shirt over my head when i’m shoved down on the bed.

“What the fuck did you do Liam!”

Shit its Zayn.

I opened my mouth to reply but it was slammed shut by Zayns fists colliding with my jaw.

“shit Zayn!” I yelpped 

“No fuck you Liam! Stay the fuck away from Jes! Come near her and ill kill you!” he spat

“Zayn Let me explain please!”

“fuck off payne!” he walked to the door and reached for something on the other side and as he stepped passed I saw him dragging Jes with him. Her eyes are full of tears and once again I’m reminded that I feel like shit, not only am I hungover but I’ve just lost my best mate and my girl friend.

*First Day of Classes*

“Hey Liam” Leighton chirpped at me

“Why are you so happy? Everythings gone to shit…”

“But you seem to be forgetting we have classes with Niall, Jes and Zayn. They cant avoid us anymore, they’ll have to look at us”

“Leighton” I sighed “They can still be in the same room with us and ignore us”

“but Niall wont ignore you and the Maliks wont ignore me. It’s sorted! Get Niall to forgive me and I’ll get Jes and Zayn to forgive you… Deal?”

I looked up at her and her eyes were pleading like she needed this. This isn’t the Leighton I’ve known these past few years. This Leighton cares about someone other than herself, its weird. I groaned and agreed to try.

I make no promises.

Harry POV

They’re fucking with me, Louis changed his seat in art class so he now sits next to Nathan. It wouldn’t be so bad if they weren’t in front of me! Everytime Nathan touches Lou, I see it. Everytime Lou smiles at Nathan, I see it. Everytime Nathans eyes travel up and down Louis' body I want to jump over the table and cram every paint brush and charcoal pencil down his throat! Louis is mine! I just, I cant bring myself to tell anyone just yet.

“Looking good Tommo!” Nathan shouted as Louis walks in and damn.. he does look good.

Tight black skinny jeans, a slightly fitted black t-shirt showing off his tattoos with a pair of black vans. His jeans are slightly rolled up showing his perfectly tan ankles.

“Thanks love” Louis smiled at him, his eyes flicked to me for a brief second and he looked sad, but as soon as he looks back at Nathan its gone and he’s smiling again.

“Do you want to go grab some food after school? Theres a café that just opened up the road from our flats.” Nathan asked with a smug grin plastered on his lips.

Louis looked to the side, but I know he was looking back at me. He took a deep breath before replying, “Yeah that’ll be fun” I could tell he was faking just from the way he said the word fun, its dry with so emotion.

“IT’S A DATE!” Nathan said a little to loudly and it made me cringe.

“STYLES!” Mrs. Flack yelled at me, my head shot up to look at her “You’re going to be our model today come stand in front of the class”

I got up and stood in front of everyone.

“Yeah strike a pose Harry” Nathan grinned at me

He’s lucky we’re in class right now.

I opened my eyes a few moments later only to find everyone drawing but Lou was staring at me. I looked at his paper and he hadn’t drawn a thing, there was't one line on his paper.

“I- I- I’m have to goto the loo” He jumped up and ran out of class. I stood there for a minute contiplating what to do, stay or go? If I go everyone will know the rumors are true… If I don’t, I might lose him forever.

I battled with myself for a while before deciding to let it go. I’ll talk to him again… one day?

Fuck…
