No Regrets (A Larry Stylinson Student/Teacher Fic)

Chapter 20

Louis' POV

I had my eyes glued on Harry as soon as he stepped foot through the door, however instead of the familiar perky blonde named Niall walking in with him, there was somebody else. A girl, also blonde, but a little less perky. She was laughing at him and he was so caught up in her that he didn't even notice me stood here, I have to say, I was angry that he hadn't acknowledged  I was here. I even tried clearing my throat loudly to get his attention, but he just passed me and took a seat at his desk. I did however manage to catch Niall's attention, I watched as he tapped Harry multiple times before shooting a look at me. Harry's head slowly turned and I could see his eyes looking at me over his shoulder, I leant back against the wall and raised an eyebrow. He gulped before turning back around, my feelings were so mixed I didn't know what to do next. I wanted to storm over and shout at the random girl who kept catching all his attention, but then I wanted to go over and scoop him up into my arms and apologise for everything. A part of me wanted to walk over to Liam and shout at him for making me come in, but another part of me wanted to break down in his arms and plead him for help. However I held myself together and sat back whilst Liam took the register, he read the names out quickly and I soon found out that the blonde haired girl with Harry was called Star. Hm.

"Alright, we've got individual practice today, Louis will obviously be helping Harry, I'll set you all off and then Star I'll help you." I looked over at Liam and widened my eyes, making me work with Harry was the worst possible thing he could have done. He instructed the class to grab their scripts and hurried over to me,

"I'm really sorry Lou, I didn't know he was coming in. But I need you to work with him, you're the only person that's played Danny and you have to teach him how to do it right. I'm really sorry." He said in a low whisper, I sighed and picked my script up from the desk before walking over to Harry. I stood next to him and soon became annoyed as he ignored my presence and continued speaking to Star,

"Star, can you please leave Harry and go and speak to Liam. He needs to rehearse." I blurted, they both turned around and looked up at me. Harry frowned whereas Star's cheeks flushed red,

"Yes sir." She scurried away quickly and I stood facing Harry.

"That was rude." He snapped, I just stared back, surprised he was actually speaking to me.

"You've got a thing about being rude haven't you, you were rude today and the other night. It doesn't suit you." He barked as he flipped through his script, I really needed to talk to him alone, there was no way I was taking blame for what happened.

"Mr Payne, we're going somewhere quieter to rehearse, do you have anywhere you can recommend?" He walked over to us,

"Go to the old art block, it's literally deserted. Nothing works in it except one classroom that has electricity, nobody bothers to go there anymore. It will be quiet." I nodded and thanked him,

"You can lead the way." I said to Harry as he grabbed his bag, he stayed silent and stormed out of the classroom. I was quick on his heels and followed him out of the main school building, we passed the other blocks and ended up near the more quieter blocks. Soon enough we reached the abandoned block and entered, we searched the three classrooms until we found the one that had lights. The windows were blocked by wood so without the lights on it would have been pretty dull. Harry dropped his bag on the floor and sat down on one of the desks,

"Why did you bring me here? We were perfectly capable of rehearsing in there." I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair,

"Harry, you need to hear me out. I'm really sorry for what happened the other night, as soon as you left I cried. I felt like a right dick letting you walk out, I didn't realise how much I wanted you with me until you were gone." I looked up as he sat twiddling his thumbs,

"Well you did, you let me walk out and home in the dark. Anything could have happened to me, proves how much you really care." I sighed and walked over to him, it felt strange being taller than him. I placed my hands either side of him,

"Harry I regret making you do that, you know I do. I'm so so sorry, when I saw your bracelets on my night stand I broke down again. I pretty much cried myself to sleep, you don't understand. I didn't want to need you with me, because I know that these sort of relationships are wrong. But I couldn't get rid of the feelings I had inside of me." I stared straight into his eyes as he sighed,

"You're right, these sort of relationships are wrong." He hopped off the desk and pushed past me, picking up his script and turning to the first page. My heart crumpled inside me,

"Is that it? That's all you have to say?" He bit his lip before nodding.

"Seriously Louis what do you want me to say? I'm sorry I forgive you I love you so much." I smirked,

"That would be fine." He rolled his eyes.

"No because I don't mean any of it. You really hurt me Louis, really bad. I got home and cried, I cried until there were no tears left to spill. You expect me to say everything's okay when you practically broke my heart?" I felt the tears beginning to well up in my eyes, I never knew how badly I'd actually hurt him. It pained me to think he might not ever forgive me.

"I don't know what to say Harry, I've gave you my apologies and I've asked for your forgiveness. Nothing seems to be good enough for you.." I trailed off but he stayed silent and kept his eyes glued to the script.

"Can we just rehearse?" He mumbled, I nodded and began teaching him how to do it properly.

Every time we touched my heart raced but I had to ignore it and continue on, every now and then Harry's cheeks would heat up if we were stood closer than we should be but he chose to ignore it to. It was really bugging me, I just wanted to prove to him that I truly was sorry.
