Homeless (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 7

It had been two weeks since Harry moved in to the Home For Lost Boys. He'd been taking care of the younger kids, cleaning, and going to the laundry mat. It was almost like he was back at Louis' doing things for him except he wasn't helping Louis and that changed everything. But he liked being productive. When he wasn't working, he sat with the little boys while they were being homeschooled. They were all homeschooled; Harry was glad about that too. In the back of his mind, he was really afraid to go to a public school. He was happy to learn things though. He was basically on the same learning level as the 7 year olds.

Perrie and the other girls were their teachers. She was really nice, Harry thought. He knew why Zayn had such a crush on her, but she was no Louis. No one was as beautiful as Louis. Is it bad that I think that? Harry thought. If the other boys, Niall and Liam, knew that he was in love with a playgirl model, they'd laugh in his face. Harry also tried is very best not to steal anything. He didn't want to get kicked out of this one.

One day, they were all sitting in the crowded living room eating dinner while the dozen kids sat in the kitchen. this was usually how it was; Perrie, Eleanor, Kendall and Sophia would sit with Harry, Liam, Niall, and Zayn. The girls were talking about cute famous boys while the guys sat there and laughed.

"I saw a cute boy at the bakery the other day," Perrie said picking at her food. The other girls 'ooohhed' and giggled while Zayn kept his head down not wanting to hear about Perrie's dream boys.

"Did you talk to him?" Sophia asked.

"No! I was too afraid. He looked like he lived in one of the rich houses up town anyway...." Perrie trailed off.

"So? You're pretty, I bet he'd like you," Zayn said now looking up. This time the boys 'ooohhhed' and Perrie blushed.

"Thank you, love," Perrie said. Harry cringed at the word love. He instantly longed for Louis to talk him like that again.

"Anytime," Zayn said back.

"I met this guy," Kendall started, "he's in this room."

"Who?!" Niall said, eyes wide along with all the other boys.

"Harry," she said and giggled. "You're such a cutie."

Harry laughed at that along with everyone else because he didn't find Kendall as remotely attractive as the other girls or even the other boys. She seemed full of herself, always looking at her hair in the mirror.

"Gonna get yourself an older girl here mate," Liam said.

"Are you Harry? You sure about that?" Zayn said raising an eyebrow. He knew that Harry was gay, or at least that he liked Louis.

"Uh...." Harry began.

"Well I think that I might be getting myself an older boy," Eleanor said fluttering her eyelashes.

"Oi, we're done hearing about you guys's love life!" Liam shouted.

"Well you have to here about this! Since he's older, I might be able to move in with him! You know, if things get serious."

"You'd never leave us!" Sophia proclaimed.

"I know, but for this guy....I would. He's so hot!" The girls giggled.

"Tell us about him!" Kendall said.

"Well, his name's Louis-"

Harry choked on his food. No, it couldn't be. No, it really couldn't be....Louis was gay, right? Actually, he'd never told Harry if he was bi or gay.....but there's other Louis' in the world, right? She was surely talking about someone else.
