Hiding My True Self- A Larry Fanfic

Chapter 4: Texting Buddies

A/N-My goal for this story is 1k. Think I can get there? I hope so. Also, Louis is finally going to have his Pov! Here's the new chapter!


Harry's Pov

My shift was coming to its end. Going in the back, I removed my apron and grabbed my backpack. I just wanted to hurry and get home. Texting Louis seemed like a fun thing to do. I thought he was interesting. Nobody ever did the things he's did to me. Like feel interested in me. It felt good knowing someone actually cared about me and wanted to know more about me. Of course, I wouldn't be telling Louis too much about me though. Yet, a small part of me wanted him to know everything about me. Louis looked like the person you could put your absolute trust in. "I'll see you tomorrow Jane." I said while exiting the bakery. Walking home I thought to myself. What made Louis want to talk to me? Of course it was his first day and he wanted to make friends, but why me? Nothing about me popped out of the ordinary. I was just like some other ordinary student going to school. Walking home, I saw a couple holding hands strolling down the sidewalk. Looking at the two, you could tell they loved each other. That's what I wanted. Someone that loved me. My mum and Gemma loved me, though it wasn't the love I wanted. I wanted someone that could look at me and say I was perfect in their eyes. I didn't want sex, I just wanted to know someone absolutely cared for me. My dad really scarred me. The hurt, pain, and depressed emotions he caused me were all bottled inside. Hell, if I told someone how I felt, they would send me to an institution or something. I just blame him for me not wanting to get close to someone. Because of him, I'm the way I am now. Shaking some curls out of my eyes, I opened the front door with my key. The house was quiet. I should've known that since my mum would be working her second shift and Gemma doing her college courses. I scurried up the steps to my room. Throwing my backpack on the ground, I jumped onto my bed. The smooth, soft, comfortable comforter could have made me fall asleep. Digging in my pocket, I took out Louis' number. Putting it in my phone, I didn't know a thing to text him. Gosh, what could I say? Thoughts came rushing in my mind. Maybe this will be good.

Louis' Pov

Sitting on the couch, my phone started to buzz and ring. It was a text message. The number is was from wasn't a saved contact. Looking at the message anyway, I saw it was Harry.

"Hey it's Harry. So what's up? :)"

He was so awkward and shy. That's what I liked from him. I wanted to push him out of his comfort zone. I decided to text back quickly.

"Nothing really, just watching some tv. I have a question for you. Do you mind answering?"

It took time for him to text back. I hope I didn't scare him off. Before I could say anything else, my phone buzzed again. It was Harry.

"Sure, what's the question?"

My heart beat started to escalate faster. I didn't know if he would take this the wrong way or not. I just need to know. Shaking the doubt out of my head, I started to text the question.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but are you gay?"

A few pieces of eaten chips later, Harry relied back.

"Gayer than a person can ever be! Haha! How come you asked? Your gaydar went off when you saw me? :D"

I couldn't help but to to burst into laughter at his text. "Who are you texting?" My sister Lottie said to me. Trying her best to sneak a peek on my phone. "None of your business. Just a cute boy from school." Her eyebrows raised. "Oh I see, someone has a new crush don't they?" My cheeks erupted with blush. "No Lottie, just a friend." "Sure, for now they are." She said walking out of the living room from me. Lottie got me so caught up, I forgot to text Harry back.

"Lol! No, it didn't go off one bit. I just had hope you were. Your just so cute. ;)"

Once the message was sent, I thought to myself. Was it a little too early for flirting?" Getting a text back from Harry, it must've not been.

"Oh stop, your making my dimples show. :) Your not so bad yourself. Especially with that bum of yours. ;)"

Again I was blushing like crazy. "He's already flirting with you?!" Lottie said excitedly behind me. "Lottie, were you reading my text messages?!" "I don't know, was I?" She said plopping on the couch beside me. "So who's this Harry kid?" "A guy I met today. He's a bit shy and strange. That's what attracted me to him." "So he's a bad boy?" "I don't think so. The other kids must tease him for being gay." Lottie looked a little disappointed. "That's just terrible." "I know, but maybe since I'm there, he'll have a friend to talk to." "I think you want to be more than friends Lou. Am I correct?" She said grabbing some chips out of the bowl. "I mean he's cute, but I don't think he's interested in me." "Louis, he basically said he likes your bum. I think he's interested in you!" We both started to laugh together. "Okay, so your right. Though I'll see what happens between us later on." Lottie got up. "Tell me if more happens. I want to know if I'll be getting a brother-in-law." A smile crepted on my face. I couldn't help but thinking of Harry as something more than just a friend. I went upstairs to my room. Texting Harry the rest of the night.

A/N-So was this chapter good? I didn't take too long in making it, so it probably was crappy. Anyways, vote, comment, and fan! Love you! :)
