Being Louis (Zouis)

Chapter 19

-Harry

After Dad drops me off, I sit on the bench and wait for Josh. A few minutes go by and I start to get worried.

"Where is he?" I check my watch then get up from the bench. I open the door and see Josh with a girl pushed up against the lockers, snogging her.

"Josh?" I can barely even call out. He pulls away then quickly shoves the girls off of him.

"Harry! That wasn't what it looked like. I-I" He pulls at his collar and swallows hard.

"Then what was happening?" He shrugs but tries to get close to me.

"You're nothing but a pig!" I yank my ring off and shove it into his chest and stomp off.

No more boys for me, just books. Just books.

-Liam

"You ready to go to the park, Niall?"

"Da!" I put him in his stroller and push him in the direction of the park. When we get there, there's a ton of mums there and about a gazillion kids playing on the playground. I settle for the bench farthest away from all of that commotion.

"Jonah! Do not jump off of that!" The kid screams and jumps from the swing, resulting in Niall starting to whine. I pick him up out of the carrier and cradle him.

"What's wrong?" I coo at him and slowly rock him back to sleep.

"Just go to sleep my little baby." His eyelashes become heavy then he closes his eyes.

"Hi, Liam!" I look up and notice Sophia walking towards me.

"Hi." She squeals then takes a seat next to me.

"Sophia." I shake her hand with my only free hand.

"I notice you here alone. Maybe I could help you cook dinner?"

"Wel-"

"How about tonight?"

"I don't know. My boys are only used to my sisters not other women."

"I won't be a bother, I promise. All children love me!"

"I-"

"I'll be there around seven." She smiles and reaches into her shirt and hands me a slip of paper.

"Okay?" She quickly walks back to her friends and after about 5 seconds they squeal and jump up and down like a bunch of teenaged girls. My phone starts to vibrate in my pocket. I take it out and see that it's Harry's school again.

"What happened this time?" I answer it with a sigh.

"Hello?"

"Hello, again, Mr.Payne. We need you down at the office. It's regarding to your son." I sigh and strap Niall back into his stroller.

"I'll be there in a minute." I hang up and start pushing the stroller.

"I hope you stay this way forever, Ni. Or at least be a good boy and not get in trouble."

-Harry

I sit in the principal's office in silence with the principal just looking at me.

"I didn't do anything wrong."

"Silence. I told you to sit there and wait for your father." I look down and think about earlier today.

Someone slaps the book I was reading down in the mud over by the swings. I can't read it anymore because it's ruined. I get up angrily and look up to see Nick.

"You ruined my book." Nick and his friends laugh and push me down.

"Oh, yeah? What are you gonna do about it faggot?" His words burn through my mind. I feel my heart beating faster than it usually does. I stand up and grab Nick's collar.

"Listen here. I'm tired of your shit. Either you stop or else." His friends grab me and hold me up.

"Or else what? You're gonna get your daddy?" He fake pouts and grins.

"That's it." I kick both of his friends so hard that they drop me. I jump onto Nick and start punching him with all that I've got.

"Get off me!" I keep punching him until the teacher pulls me off of him.

"Touch me again! I dare you, Grimshaw! I dare you!" I yell and lunge forward just about to kick him again but the teacher grabs me just in time.

-Liam

"Mr. Payne. Your son, Harry here, has beaten up an innocent boy." I look at Harry but he looks down at his hands.

"There has to be a reason why Harry has done this. He couldn't of just beaten up this boy for no reason." I look back at the principal.

"Mr. Grimshaw said that Harry walked up to him and started punching." Harry tries to stand up but the handcuffs on his hands hold him down.

"That's not true!" Harry sits back down and looks out the window holding back tears.

"Well. Until we can get to the bottom of this, Harry, you will be suspended from school for a week."

"What?"

-Louis

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Zayn." I kiss Zayn goodbye then walk back to my house. I smell something really good but it's not Dad's cooking. I walk near the kitchen and notice Dad with his hands wrapped around someone's waist.

"Dad?" he turns around, making me gasp.

"Slut-bag Sophie?"

This isn't real, I would have been totally fine with anyone else but her and there's a reason why.
