We Will Find a Way Through the Dark (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter Eleven

Chapter 11

The next morning Louis woke up first needing to pee, so he unwrapped his arm from around Harry and quietly got up.

"Lou?"

"Go back to sleep Haz. Just need to go to the bathroom."

Harry didn't say anything after that so Louis crept to the bathroom and then realized they had to school today. Groaning, he quickly went then went back to wake Harry up.

When he walked into their room Harry was sitting up in bed with a blank look on his face.

Louis walked over and sat next to him. "I know I said we would talk this morning, but we woke up late and need to leave so we're not late."Harry still had a blank look on his face. "I'm sorry. Today's the last day of school though before summer holiday." Harry's face perked up a bit at that and Louis added, "we'll have a lot of time to talk after today. But if you really do want to talk this morning we can. We can just be late. Whatever you want Haz."

"You don't have to do whatever I want all the time. I would feel better if you did things for you too. But let's just go to school. We can talk later." He said snappily.

Louis was slightly taken aback, but just said, "okay." And let it go.

They both got ready quickly and hopped into Louis' car. The whole car ride was silent, and when they got out in the school parking lot, Louis asked, "are you mad at me or something?"

Harry shook his head no and said, "no, at myself."

"Please don't be mad at yourself. You did nothing wrong."

"Yeah I did. But it's okay. I'll get over it."

The bell rang then, signifying that they had one minute to get to class. "I'll see you at lunch!" Louis called out, fast walking towards his class while Harry did the same.

"Good morning Mr. Styles." His teacher said as Harry walked in two seconds before the tardy bell rang.

"Morning." He mumbled back. His first period was math and his teacher, Mrs. Malone, absolutely hated him. He was terrible at math and always did poorly on the exams she gave. He was elated to be done with her class after today.

After math, Harry still had two classes and then lunch. They went by really slowly because they weren't doing anything, and were just told to talk. He didn't have any friends in either of those classes so he just sat and stared at the walls until the bell rang. He never understood the point of going to school when all they were going to do was sit around and talk; something he did not like to do.

On his way to lunch he saw Niall in the hallway and ran to catch up with him. "Oh hey!" Niall exclaimed when he saw Harry next to him.

"Hey." He responded. After a moment of silence Harry added, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah sure. Do you wanna sit down at the table first?"

"Um no. It's um kinda about Louis."

"Oh okay. We can sit here then." Niall said, pointing to a bench against the hallway wall.

Once they sat Harry asked his question, "how do you know if you like someone?" He knew Niall had had a few girlfriends, so he figured he was a pretty good person to ask.

"Well if Louis makes you happy, and you get butterflies in your stomach when you're with him, you probably like him." Niall said, smirking.

Harry blushed, "How do you know I'm talking about Louis?!"

"You just said it was about Louis!" Niall said, laughing.

"Oh yeah." Louis remembered, blushing.
