It was always like this. Louis holding Eleanor's hand while walking in the corridors of the high school, kissing her and loving her. Harry was jealous, he didn't like it at all. Harry had a crush on Louis but Louis didn't like Harry. He didn't notice him, he didn't talk to him, he didn't care. Harry wanted Louis' attention, he would look at him hoping one day he'll notice him but that's probably not gonna happen. Harry was the shy little kid in the corner just reading a book and Louis was the captain of the soccer team, he was the popular jock who had a girlfriend and nice friends. They didn't quite get along. Harry would get bullied by Louis' teammates but Louis wouldn't do anything, he was too busy sucking Eleanor's face off. Harry would look at them and think "That should be me." That should be me holding your hand, that should be me making you laugh, that should be me, this is so sad, that should be me, that should be me" Harry wanted Louis' kiss. He wanted to hold his hand, kiss him, love him. But that couldn't happen.
One day, Harry was at school, reading a book in the corner of the hall. One of Louis' teammates, Stan, kicked his book and yelled "Oh were you reading that book? Well not anymore" He laughed and grabbed Harry.
"Hurt me!! I don't care you always do this! I'm done. Punch me, kick me, yell at me. Just do it!" Harry yelled for the first time. He never talked back, never.
Suddenly, two more of Louis' teammates heard Harry and ran to where they were. "What did you just say?!" Stan yelled and pushed Harry against the wall. "I didn't quite hear that? Did you just talk back?!" Harry regretted talking back.
Oh god that was a mistake.
He didn't say anything.
Stan laughed. "You're so stupid!" the two other guys started yelling insults to Harry.
"Fag"
"Gay"
"Idiot"
"Kill yourself already!"
"Don't you see people just want you gone!"
They were punching and kicking him. Harry screamed, and that caught someone's attention.
Louis was kissing Eleanor once again but when he heard Harry, he turned around and let go of his girlfriend.
He ran to Harry.
When he saw his teammates beating Harry up, it broke his heart. Why didn't he see this before? Before Harry broke, before things would get worse. He should of known. "Stan!!" Stan turned around and then saw Louis. He looked next to him, where his other teammates were and ran. The other guys were gone and Harry looked horrible. He had blood dripping down his nose and bruises on his face.
"What's your name?" Louis helped Harry up.
"Harry" The broken boy could barely talk.
"Harry, we should go to the nurse okay? My "friends" won't hurt you anymore."
Harry started crying cause he always thought the bullying would never stop.
"Hey, don't cry" Louis rubbed Harry's back. He's never seen Harry cry and honestly Louis' heart was breaking completely.
"I'm sorry" Harry said, voice cracked and barely heard.
"No, no I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Harry. My teammates are horrible! How long have they been doing this?"
"2 years"
That's when Louis felt really bad.
"Harry, no oh god I'm so sorry! I'm sorry. I'm sor-"
"Louis stop its my fault I'm so useless and ugly and stupid I deserve this!" They stopped walking and Louis faced Harry.
"Don't ever say that! No, you're.. Beautiful Harry. You're amazing and so smart."
"If I'm so smart why do I have these?!" Harry lifted his shirt up, showing Louis his scars.
"If I'm so smart then why did I do this to myself?! I hurt myself because you're friends made me realize that I'm just nothing!! I'm nothing!" Harry yelled. "Just go back to your girlfriend. You don't need me. You never noticed me when I was breaking. You never heard my cries or my screams. You never cared." Harry walked past Louis but suddenly he felt a hand pull him.
"I care. I want to help you. I want you to be okay."
Harry turned around.
"Why?! Why do you care now?! Why didn't you care 2 years ago?! You're too late. You can't fix me!" Harry yelled.
He started walking away until he heard Louis whisper "I love you"
He turned around and screamed "Why didn't you tell me that before?!"
He was right in front of Louis now, their noses barely touching.
"Because I.."
"Because what?!"
"Because my family didn't accept me! They knew I loved you. But they said I was just in a phase and that I was gonna get cured. They told me they were gonna help me. They introduced me to Eleanor but that didn't help. They said I had to get you out of my mind so they made me play football. They made me kiss Eleanor and love her but I don't! I love you and only you. I always have. But my parents didn't want me to. Eleanor knows everything. If anyone knew that I loved you everyone would hate me. They would bully me and hurt me. I didn't want that so I just said Eleanor was my girlfriend. I had to act like I loved her but I don't. Harry, I don't want to hide anymore. I want to be with you. I want everyone to know that your mine. I'm sorry that I had to do this I really am. I just hope you can understand. I love you, I love you, I love you, I lo-"
Harry finally grabbed Louis' face and kissed him. He caressed his cheek and deepened the kiss. Everyone was looking but they didn't care. They pulled away.
"I love you, Harry" Harry smiled and said "I love you too, Louis." and hugged. Everyone clapped. Everyone accepted them.
As a couple they were going strong. They loved each other and that's all that mattered.
