CHAPTER 4

Play the song Poison and Wine by Civil Wars when it says to.

[Harry's POV]

'Hey Lou, I have a crush on our bandmate'. How hard is that to say, Harry?!

Very.

I sighed and put my face in my hands. Louis put a hand on my knee comfortingly. I looked up and he was observing my every feature. It's like he knows. It's kind of creepy.

Nonetheless, he is my best friend and, if I can trust anyone, it's him. I've never been able to keep anything from Louis. If he is anything, he is very trusting. He doesn't have a judgmental bone in his body. That's why I'm finding it hard to not tell him! It should just come out already!

Poor choice of words there, Harold.

"Harry," Louis cut off my thoughts. "Before you tell me what happened- everything that happened." He reassured. I nodded and he continued. "I just wanted to tell you that you shouldn't be afraid to tell me anything. I will always love you. No matter what may come in between." He explained.

I nodded. He is my best mate. For years now. Why is this so hard? I have a feeling that he knows that I'm...bisexual? Is that what I am considered? I'll have to ask Louis his opinion on the matter later.

---

I did it. I explained EVERY detail. I didn't leave a thing out. I said everything that happened between Niall and I in that closet today. And he just stayed quiet the entire time, listening intently. He nodded here and there. He smiled when I said something cute. He frowned when I shared my confused thoughts on Niall. Louis is the best person you can get advice from.

Well, aside from Liam, but Louis actually understands more than he can advise. While Liam is great for advice and reassurance, Louis is a great listener. If you ever need to get something off your chest, he is the best to pour it on. And, if you tell him not to, he won't say a word to a soul.

"That was quite a day." He exasperated.

I nodded in agreement. I hadn't even realized that 15 minutes has passed and it was midnight already. The boys were probably all sleeping, including Niall. At least I share a room with Lou.

Louis must have noticed that I was in deep thought since he rested his hand on my knee again. I looked up and he had a comforting expression.

"I don't think you're gay, Harry." He closed his eyes briefly. His eyelashes fluttered a teeny bit before he continued talking. "I think that..." he paused while searching for the right words. "I think that you are fond of the type of person that Niall is. I don't believe that you can change to a different sexuality just for one person. But I do believe that your heart can change to a different setting just for that one person." He explained.

Wow. Five points for poetry. I nodded slowly, trying to take in what he just said. "Hey," he caught my attention. "Go talk to Niall," he instructed, nodding his head over to his room. "I think that he needs to hear what you have to say." He smirked.

I sighed hesitantly. He shoved me. "Go before I smack you." He thumped my forehead.

"Ouch! Fine!" I growled. Louis smiled and stood up yawning.

"Tell me about it in the morning. I'm knackered." He pat my shoulder, heading towards his room. I stood in the living room alone before actually moving my feet. The time on the microwave read 12:28am. I shuffled towards Niall's room which was the last room in the hallway on the right.
