Sneaky Little Liars (A Larry Stylinson FanFic)

Chapter Seventeen

*Harry POV*

This was it. I had to gather up some courage and talk to him.

"Lou?" I called out to him, when he was at his locker. "yea, Haz" he said casually, shuffling through his books. "I need to talk to you" I said quietly. "sure, go on" he said, slinging his bag over his shoulder.

"not here, though" I said, grabbing his wrist and leading him to the theatre.

"whats up, are you okay?" he said, worried all of a sudden. "yeah I'm fine, I just needed to ask you something important" I replied, looking down awkwardly. I started contemplating and changed my mind. this was a bad idea.

"Soooo?" he said curiously. "um, doesnt matter anymore, it-its not that important" I stuttered quickly, and I turned around to walk away, which I always did when I felt embarrassed. He grabbed my hand, pulling me back to him, we were very close and I could feel his breath warm against my face. "I'm not leaving until you tell me" he said determined, holding both my hands now, his blue eyes shining.

"I was just wondering, who do you like?" I said very quickly, He glanced at the ground, his face blushing a light shade of red and his eyes looking around, almost nervous.

"I think I like..no it doesn't matter, you're right, its not really important" Louis said, turning to walk away, in a different direction. I stood there speechless, for a while, he was halfway across the field, and I realised I needed to take the biggest risk in my life.

I ran. I ran as fast as my feet could carry me, he couldn't see me coming but I almost tackled him to stop him walking/running away. "Woah" he said, almost falling over. class had started and we were late, so it wasn't very busy.

"And you're not leaving, till you tell me" I asked him, I held his hands to stop him from running away. "Why do you care so much Harry?" Louis asked, exasperated. "I just want to know if its that girl you were with?" I told him honestly, "Because if so, why would you lead me on?, its the worst thing you can put me through" I told him, shoving his chest slightly.

Louis started laughing, and I was really confused, I let go and he started rolling around on the grass laughing his head off, his cheeks flushed red, and it took ages, before he could breath normally again.

He got up, brushing himself off from the grass, "Harry look at me" he said, his hands softly holding my face. "firstly, that was my best friend Ella, I don't like her in that way at all, pinky promise" he said, holding out his pinky, to shake mine "Secondly, I'm not sure I can tell you who I like yet, I'm scared of rejection" he said sounding worried.
