How To Save A Life- Larry Stylinson

6. Flipped Around

*Harry's POV*

Louis decided to stay the night, as it got so late, and we both were tired.

When we went to sleep, we were at each of our side of the bed. But when I woke up, we had somehow ended up in a mess of limbs.

I gently shaked Louis, to get him up.

The air was like knocked out of me, when he peeled his eyes open, and looked up at me tiredly smiling.

"Morning babe," he said, his voice thick with sleep.

"Morning," I answered, my stomach fluttering, because he said babe, and his morning voice was hot as hell.

"We need to get to school," he said, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, wanna just go round the corner to Anna's?" I asked. (A/N I'm not British, so I have noo idea what restaurants or cafés are there, so I'm just making it up, k? x -Bjørt)

"Yeah, sure," he answered.

After we got dressed, brushed our teeth, which he got one from me, and used the loo, we were ready to go.

When we entered Anna's, we were instantly hit by the sweet arome of freshly baked breads and pastries, and coffee.

We went up to the counter, and ordered. We each got a cuppa tea, and a croissant.

We decided to eat while we were walking, hands intertwined, swinging our arms like kids and giggling like madmen.

It was about a 10 minute walk, so it wasn't that long.

When we reached the school, holding hands, people started looking at us weirdly, whispering to eachother.

"What are you looking at?" Louis shouted, "have you never seen a gay couple before?"

Gasps were heard around the hall.

"You're a faggot?" somebody yelled.

Yells about us were being thrown around, some more hateful than the others.

Suddenly, Liam shows up, which was one of Louis' sidekick, when he was bullying me.

They do an advanced handshake, which I couldn't do to save my life.

Liam went into his pocket, and fished out a 50 note.

"Here you go, mate. Well done," Liam said, giving Louis the money.

"Thanks, it didn't take a lot, since he's so vulnerable, it's pathetic!" Louis said.

Wow, I'm confused now. Did they bet anything? And who's vulnerable?

Louis and Liam started laughing, and then I put the pieces together.

Louis never cared, he just played me. It was a bet, that Louis and Liam made, seeing if I'd believe him, if he said that he wanted to be with me.

I really am pathetic. I mean, he has been bullying me for years now, how the hell can I just believe him, when he just comes and tells me he likes me?

I don't realise that I'm crying, untill I hear Liam shout, "oh look, the loser is crying! Well done Louis, he really believed you!" and then he doubles over laughing.

I hear almost the whole school laughing, and shouting things about me being a loser, being a pathetic cry baby, and how weak I am.

I turn around and start running out of the school.

I didn't stop running, untill I got home. I can't believe he played me like that!

Anger and sadness boiled up inside me, and I went up to my bedroom and slammed the door behind me.

I pulled my hair, and screamed out in frustration.

I smashed my fist into the wall, and immediately regretted it, when I felt the soaring pain shooting through my fist.

I looked down at it and saw that it was already bruised and bleeding.

"Fuck," I said, and went into the bathroom to clean it and put a bandage on, hissing at the stinging feeling.

I looked at myself in the mirror, and saw a completely disgusting boy staring back.

I sighed, and went back into my bedroom, and fell backwards onto the bed. That's when the waterworks started again.

Why would Louis do that to me? Why would he just play me like that?

I thought he liked me, and cared about me. Guess I was wrong.
