Louis couldn't bring himself to tell Harry. It's not that he didn't want to. It's just- he physically could not form the words to tell him, and it was killing him.

Zayn's ignored him for two weeks now, he hasn't made any notion of talking to Harry which has left Louis on edge. He needed to tell Harry quickly, rip off the bandaid. If Harry listened to him, things would be okay.

Liam keeps giving him, 'have you told him' faces which make Louis cringe, but for now he knows Liam won't say anything either. So it's up to him, and if Harry is the guy Louis thinks he is. It could be okay.

Louis doesn't know what game Zayn is playing at now, but the rumors have only gotten worse, (Louis couldn't care less about them). Harry swears Louis just needs to say the word and Harry will beat the shxt out of him. Louis tells him it's okay, because see, Harry only wants to protect Louis and it's too much and it only makes Louis feel worse.

And now, they're in Harry's room and Harry's hands are gripping Louis' waist. His lips are ghosting down Louis' neck, sucking softly against the skin there. Louis is gripping the back of Harry's neck, when he hears it.

Those three words.

"I love you." Harry mumbled softly, he continued pressing fleeting kisses to Louis' neck.

Louis froze. "What?" He said.

"I love you." Harry repeated, his eyes shining with happiness and cheeks tinted with dark pink. He grabbed Louis' face in his hands. "I love you." And he kissed him.

Louis pulled back, "No. You don't. You can't." He started to tear up. "No."

"But, I do. What's wrong babe?" Harry asked, his mind now full of worry as to why Louis was crying.

And this, this is probably why Zayn didn't tell Harry. Because, he wanted to leave the emotional and heart-wrenching moment for Louis. "You can't love me." Louis mumbled.

"But, I do." Harry smiled softly.

"No. Harry- oh god." Louis pulled back. He couldn't do it. Not now- but if not, then when?

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

Louis wiped at his eyes, and he looked at Harry. Harry who only tried to get his attention from day one and hasn't ever really hurt him. "I'm sorry. I can't. I- okay fucking damnit." Louis took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll always be sorry."

"Sorry about what?" Harry asked.

"Everything. I'm sorry things got out of hand." Louis was crying now, tears freely falling. Harry rushed forward and tried to touch him but Louis only shook him away.

"I love you too." Louis said, and that's when he realized, that he did. He loves Harry. "But, there's somethings you need to know."

"You love me?" Harry said, and his face lit up even more and Louis felt even more worse.

"I do. I do Harry. But please, just listen to me."

"Yes. Of course. What is it?"

"I've been lying." Louis whispered.
