In Front of Them (L.S.)

Chapter 4

   They sat at the booth talking and laughing and making out a little for what seemed like ages after going so long barley seeing each other. Harry's head laid on Louis' shoulder as he looked out the window.
    "Look the sun's coming up," Harry said half asleep. "Yeah, it is," Louis agree. Suddenly jumping Louis searched frantically for his phone. "The suns coming up, oh my God what time is it??" Finding his phone, he saw that it was a quarter to 5. "Oh my God Harry we gotta go!" Throwing a 50 on the table, and thanking Nora they rushed out.
    Speeding like a maniac, they got to the hotel at 4:59. They ran as fast as they could up the stairs and Louis suddenly stopped right before his room, causing Harry to run right into him nearly knocking both of them over. "Lou, wha-" Harry stopped too.
      Right outside Louis' door stood Garrett. The doucheyest of the whole management team. Also the lead. "Boys. Where have you been?" His voice was low, intimidating. "We ju-just, we," Harry stuttered out. "We went out," Louis finished.
    "I see that," he said. "How many people saw you?"
     "Just one!" Harry proclaimed.
     "One's one too many in this job. You know what that means,"
      "It won't happen again," Harry pleaded.
      "It's too late, gotta shut down any rumers now. Should I call Danielle or Taylor?" He asked as if either was a good choice. "Wait, why would you call Taylor?? " Louis asked. Garrett gave an evil smirk. "Harry you're going to need to cover up that hickey on your neck. We are thinking about a Haylor reunion."
      Louis turned to see Harry's face drop. The stunts were hard for both of them, but harder on him. He knew who he was, he'd always known. He wanted to come out so bad since day one and the beards only made it worse.
       "Danielle," Louis said.

    Danielle met the boys at the airport once they touched down. She gave a sad smile and waved. She wasn't one of the bad ones though, the ones who try to make the boys straight. She was actually just trying to help out and be a good friend.
     Louis have Harry one last glance before mouthing "I love you" and walking to Danielle. "Hey," she said softly. Louis barley even acknowledged her as he just put his arms around her and walked passed the paparazzi.               
      The hardest thing was seeing the look on Harry's face, the look of hurt and betrayal. "Kiss her!" "Yeah lay one on her!" They yelled. So he did. He had to. And Harry knew that. But it hurt.

     "Okay Louis, just try and act like you are having fun." Jeza was trying to get 'pap pictures of the couple'. That was her job. To fake pictures.
     She walked over to Harry and patted his shoulder. "He's never go to do this if all he's thinking about is you. And then Garrett will get pissed and make her stay longer." She really was trying to help.
     Harry knew she was right. He had to go somewhere else. So he stood, walked straight up to Louis and kissed him firmly. Louis could taste the salt on his lips, tears. "Mine," he whispered. Louis grabbed his hand and answered, "100%" Harry smiled sadly, letting go of his hand. "Then go get this over with, I'm um, I'm going out. With the guys. Bye." "Harry," Louis tried to stop him. "I love you," Harry confirmed right before opening the door. But he waited long enough to hear Louis say softly "I love you too."
