Falling For the Bad Boy (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 37

Harry's P.O.V

I was still shaken by what Jay had told me. I hadn't asked Louis about it since I really didn't want to ruin tonight. I also didn't think I was ready for what the truth was. We sat at a table with Ryan and Nick, having a great dinner.

"So Nick, I didn't even realize you were gay." Louis said, setting down his fork since he had just finished his meal.

"Oh you're one to talk." Nick scoffed with a laugh. "I mean I can't believe the Louis Tomlinson is gay."

"Yeah, but try to keep that quiet. I'm not out of the closet yet." Louis said.

"Oh, yeah I get it. I mean I'm in the closet too so as long as you keep quiet for me, I'll keep quiet for you." Nick shrugged.

"I actually wanted to ask you about that, Nick. How long have you known that you were gay?" I asked.

"I knew a little bit before you came out, Harry. But I was afraid of what would happen if I did come out and I was right to be. I saw what happened when you did and I figured it would be a bad idea to do the same." He explained.

"It's amazing how many closeted gays there are at our school." Louis shook his head, chuckling.

"Really? There's more?" Nick furrowed his brows.

"Yeah you know Liam and Zayn, right?" Louis asked.

"Of course, everyone knows you guys. Mainly cause you guys scare the shit out of everyone, especially after what you did to Josh." Nick said.

Louis chuckled, "Well, Liam and Zayn are a thing."

"Are you serious?" Nick leaned over the table. "How did that happen?"

"Zayn's sucked Liam's dick, they fought for a while, Zayn admitted to me that he had feelings for Liam, I told Liam, they talked it out,  fucked and now they're dating." Louis shrugged.

"I can't believe this." Nick's eyes widened.

"There's probably a whole lot more gay people but they're so afraid of the homophobes that they stay in the closets." Louis took a sip of his drink.

"Well aren't you?" Ryan asked.

"Nah, I'm just still adjusting to being bi and I don't think I'm really ready to tell it to the world." Louis explained.

"I get it." Nick sighed.

"I think we all do." Ryan added. "At my old school I was out of the closet since everyone was so accepting but now that I have to go back in it sucks."

"I just don't get it. It's twenty-seventeen for Christ sake. Can't people just get over the fucking fact that sometimes boys like boys and girls like girls? It's all fucking bullshit." Louis ranted.

"Where I️ lived in Illinois, it was highly celebrated. Pride month was such a big deal there. I️ miss it." Ryan sighed.

"Yeah well when you live in a small town with small minded bastards that's not how it works." I huffed.

"Anyways this has been great but we ought to be going." Ryan sighed pulling his jacket off the back of his chair. "We should definitely do this again though."

"Yeah definitely." Louis nodded. "And Nick feel free to hang out with us."

Nick's eyes widened and he smiled. "Really? Are you sure that your friends won't you know like kill me?"

"Yes I'm sure." Louis chuckled. "I mean Zayn might but other than that I'm sure."

"Are you serious?" Fear flashed through Nick's eyes.

"I'm kidding, I swear." Louis laughed.

"Oh okay, good." Nick took a deep breath. "Well then I guess we'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Yeah we'll see you." He waved as they left. He then turned to me. "So you want to go ahead and go?"

"Yeah." I nodded. We got up from the table as he put down money for the bill and a little extra for a tip and we left. "You can just drop me off at home."

"I thought we were going to go back to my place for you know dessert." He furrowed his brows.

"Maybe another night, I'm not feeling it right now." I mumbled.

He eyed me weirdly, "Okay."

We got into his car and we drove silently to my house. Once we got there I got out of the car, hoping Louis didn't want to walk me to the door but tragically he did. He climbed out of the car as well and quickened his pace to catch up to me.

"Well goodnight." I said and turned to walk in but he grabbed my arm and turned me back to him.

"Harry, what's wrong with you? You've been acting weird all night." His face had worried written all over it and I loved that he cared so much but I just couldn't be myself when I knew he was lying to me.

"I have not been acting weird." I shook my head.

"Yes you have. You barely talked during dinner, you don't want to go back to my house, and now you don't kiss me goodnight."

"I'm sorry, I'm just not feeling well." I lied.

"You seemed fine before we left my house." He furrowed his brows.

"Yeah I was but then I got sick to my stomach."  And it was true, knowing that Louis was hiding something made me queasy. It had to be bad right? If it wasn't why wouldn't he just tell me the truth?

"I'm sorry babe." He smiled sympathetically and kissed my forehead gently. "Go get some rest and get better, love."

I couldn't fight the smile that crept onto my face. "Okay."

"I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"

"Yeah, I should be okay by then." I nodded.

"Good." He hugged me and walked down the driveway back to his car. Right before he got in he flashed me a smile. "Goodnight, Harry. I love you."

"I love you too." I waved as he got in the car and drove off.

How could Louis have done anything bad? He's so sweet and kind and treats me like I'm his world. How could he have done anything to hurt me, he would never hurt me.

Would he?
