Trouble (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 23

"I need to talk to him" Harry muttered.

"Go then" I said with a little push to his chest. He just came straight back and wrapped his arms round me.

"I cant. He needs time to calm down" Harry told me.

"How long will that take? It's been 3 hours already" I said to Harry.

"Just...I don't know. I'll speak to him tomorrow. I feel like shit" he said.

"I know you do but you shouldn't. I understand both of your sides but you haven't done anything wrong" I told him.

"I have. I've been a lousy friend. I have been lying to him for so long and making up stuff" Harry said.

"Then go. Go and tell him everything. I'll be right there" I encouraged.

"No its too soon" he replied.

"Harry you always say that. When are we going to come out? It's been 3 months" I said quietly. It doesn't help that he wants to hide our relationship.

"I know, just...I want to be ready" he said to me as he lifted my chin up to look at him.

"Well I'll stand by you the whole time. Just remember that" I told him. He smiled and kissed my lips quickly.

"I know you will. And that's why I love you" he told me. I smiled and he kissed my nose.

"Okay lovebirds you might want to break it up. You have a guest" Gemma said as she walked into the room.

"Who is it?" Harry asked.

"Zayn" she told Harry and then sent me a sympathetic look.

"Oh shit. Okay, Louis, do you want to hide somewhere or-"

"He can come into my room until Zayn's away" Gemma offered. I thanked her and we quickly walked through to Gemma's room while Harry went downstairs. Gemma's room want particularly girly. The walls were a light purple with a shimmery effect over it and the furniture was all a pine colour. It was simple but really nice.

"So do you know why he's here?" Gemma asked me. I sat across from her on her bed and nodded.

"I think so. I mean, they had a big argument earlier so I think that's why" I shrugged

"What were they arguing about? They've been best friends for so long" Gemma said confused.

"Me" I told her simply. She raised her eyebrow and I continued. "Harry hasnt told anybody about us and Zayn's a bit homophobic so he doesnt even know Harry's gay. Zayn has been thinking for a while about us two because he's been connecting the dots but we kept denying them and said I'm taking his best friend away from him" I told Gemma. "I feel absolutely terrible"

"Wow. If he was Harry's best friend though, Harry should've still told him. You cant just hide that stuff away forever" she said.

"I know I've been saying that as well. I really want to come out but I dont think we'll be the same as before if everyone knows and I can see how scared Harry is" I admitted.

"Do you maybe want me to speak to him about this and try to make him stronger?" she asked.

"Yeah, that would be great. Thank you". I hugged Gemma quickly and we talked for about 10 more minutes.

"Lou?" Harry shouted from downstairs.

"Do you think he's gone?" I asked Gemma. She shrugged but walked downstairs with me and I saw Harry and Zayn standing together. I gulped and Gemma sent me an encouraging smile.

"What's up?" I asked.

"I just, I wanted to say that I'm so sorry for how I acted earlier" Zayn started. My eyes widened a little but I nodded quickly. "I didnt realise how much you meant to Harry and I got jealous because ever since you came here, he's always been in a daydream and doesnt do much with us anymore and I was just scared because he's my best friend and I dont want to lose him. I didn't realise how much I was hurting you and affecting your relationship". I stared in shock at his sympathetic eyes. Harry had a small smile on his face and it grew when we locked eye contact. That made me smile. Gemma also looked pretty surprised.

"I...uhm...I don't know what to say" I said shyly and Zayn chuckled lightly.

"It's fine. I don't expect you to forgive me after what I done to you. Just know, I wont say anything about you two to anyone else and I wont try to hurt you in any way" he said with a small smile.

"T-Thanks...I think" I stuttered. It's weird to see this side of Zayn. He held his hand out and I done the same, making us shake hands.

"Well I'm gonna go, leave you two some alone time" he winked at Harry and I blushed. Zayn left with a wave and Gemma shut the door behind him.

"When did you decide to tell him?" I asked Harry as he smiled proudly. Gemma slowly walked away to give us some time.

"I just came right out and told him everything. I was being a pretty bad friend for hiding it and he was confused about it all at first but he got over it. Is that okay?" he asked me, chewing his lip nervously.

"Are you kidding?" I asked him. He looked even more worried. "You finally done it!! You actually managed it all by yourself. I'm so proud of you baby" I said happily and ran into his arms. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist, locking our lips in a kiss.

"Get a room guys" Gemma laughed as she was walking upstairs. Harry put me down and I blushed as he laughed.

"We have one" he said back.

"Well use it! And keep it PG". I hid my face in Harry's chest from embarrassment while he just laughed at me.

"Come on, let's go upstairs" Harry held out his hand and I took it, walking upstairs with him.

"So that's 2 down, 300 to go" Harry laughed. I joined in.

"How 2?" I asked him.

"Remember we told Niall" he reminded me. I nodded and traced one of his tattoos.

"I want a tattoo" I thought aloud.

"Are you sure? I mean, you're stuck with them forever" he said.

"Do you not think I know that? I just want a small one somewhere" I said to him.

"Yeah well think about it before you do anything" he reminded me.

"I know that doofus!" I said to him with a laugh.

"I love you" Harry told me.

"I love you more" I said with a poke to the nose.

"Not possible" he smiled
