4th Of July Weekend Louis POV

Anne and Dad are here. In the cabin. Forcing me to see Harry. Do you feel the awkward? We still have not talked since the forest. I mean, we've had little talks like "What do you want to eat," or "Are you using the shower first?" Anne and Dad still have no idea. I'm actually terrified.

I'm sitting in my room right now. Trying my best to avoid what is happening downstairs. I don't want to see Harry. No, I can't see Harry. I hear everyone laughing downstairs and I wish to be a part of it. I lay down in my bed, looking at my phone. I'm looking at random YouTube videos. I got onto the videos where you ship couples;half of these, I didn't even know. There was a couple with the names of Dean and Castiel. Then Rose and Number 10. I knew the second one, that was Doctor Who. I was really confused and also really amazed at how many ships I could find.

I hear someone knock on the door. "Louis? Louis, honey are you okay?" It's Anne. God dammit she's going to want me to come downstairs. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired." I said truthfully because I really wanted to take a nap. "Oh, okay. Well, Hun you need to come downstairs now. Mark said so." I don't want to, I wanted to scream. But I didn't. I got out of bed obediently and put on some clothes, for I was only I'm my boxers.

I left my room and went downstairs, where I saw Harry, Dad, and Anne watching some show. I recognised two people from it from the ship video. "Hey, you're watching Merlin!" I said as I sat down beside Dad. "Yeah. How'd you know? You've never watched this show before." I shrugged, not wanting to admit to me looking at TV ships. "So what are we doing for 4th of July?" I ask, quickly looking at Harry then back to Dad. "Well, we are going to go to Harry's favourite Mexican restaurant and then we will be setting off fireworks. And yes Louis, we will be doing the Tommo finale." I cheered. The finale was my favourite part. "When do we leave?" Harry asked. I look at Harry, giving him my full attention and he looks back. Our eyes lock before Anne breaks it. "We can leave now if you want. Beat the dinner traffic." Harry and I nodded.

We left around 20 minutes later. All four of us got into my dad's truck. Anne and Dad in the front; Harry and I in the back. We stopped at a fireworks shop before actually going to dinner. Harry and I stayed in the truck. "Harry, we can't keep ignoring each other. We are going to live together for fucks sake." I said. "Well Louis, you should stop avoiding me! Then I might talk to you. But this is your fault! You couldn't keep your fucking feelings in check!" Harry almost yelled. "I'm sorry okay! I should have kept my feelings to myself and I didn't. I let you know how I feel! And obviously how I feel is horrible!" I said sarcastically. Harry let out a chuckle. "You shouldn't have these damn feelings Louis! I've said it before and I will continue saying it, that was wrong." Harry and I sat in a silence after that.

Dad and Anne entered the truck, looking concerned because we weren't talking. I just looked out the window, after putting on my headphones, and started to listen to Fix Me by Marianas Trench. I laid my head on the window and closed my eyes, decided to take a nap.

I was woken up when someone continued to poke me in the shoulder. I looked at who it was. Harry. "What?" I asked, spitting some anger at him. "We're at the restaurant." I nodded and got out of the car. I walked towards the entrance, with Harry following behind. I entered and stood with Anne and Dad. The place had a welcome feeling and it looked like your average Mexican place. This lady, black hair in a bun and tan skin, came up to us and took us to a booth.

As we say down this other guy gave us salsa and chips. Harry, who's been here a few times, grabbed some of the green sauce and put it in the already spicy salsa. Another guy came up and got our drink orders and then our actual food orders. Harry ordered three tacos and 12 grilled shrimp, to share with me. Then I ordered a full order of beef nachos. I was making small talk with our parents and some times talking to Harry. Anne and Dad finally left to pay the bill after we had finished eating and I was alone with Harry, once again.

"You can't hate me forever Haz." I say, breaking the silence between us. "I sure can try." He said, with an attitude may I add. "No. No you can't because we will be living together. We have to try to," I stopped for a moment wondering what I should say. "Try what Lou?" Harry asked. "We have to try to forget what happened. I'll forget my emotions. I'll try that. But, just humour me, okay Harry? You didn't push away the first time. The second time is when. What happened between the first and second?" I asked, deciding I needed to know. "I realised what was happening." He said, his voice raising. "Then why did you let me kiss you again!" I pretty much whisper-yelled. "I just needed to make sure," he said quietly, looking down. I wanted to question him further but Anne and Dad came back. I inwardly groaned at their horrible timing. "Alright loves, you two ready to go?" Anne asked sweetly. Harry looked up and nodded hastily. I got out of the booth, him following.

All four of us were now on our way to some abandoned field to go set off fireworks. I was more just excited for the famous, not really, Tommo Finale. As we pull to a stop, I'm the first one to jump out. I head to the back of the truck and pull out some mild fireworks first. I grab the spinning saucers, these spinning bees, zappers, and a couple fountains. "Alright Harry, mind lighting two punks?" I ask him as I set up four fountains. He looks at me confused. "We're going to light these four at the same time, now come on!" I yell, a quiet laugh escaping my lips. I look at Dad and give him a thumbs up, he returns my action. Harry walks back towards me, two lit punks in his hands.

I take one and and start lighting. He joins. Seconds later, the fountains are going off. I laugh and Harry joins me. I can't help but stare at him. He stops laughing and stares at me intensely. I feel an energy come around us. Full of lust, stronger than it should be. All I can think is that I want to kiss him, here and now. Even with our parents staring. I break the eye contact before I actually do it.

------An hour later------

It's  the Tommo finale. Dad and I start to put the bottle rockets into a bucket. Once that is finished, we line it up somewhere and light it. You can just guess what happened. It started to basically explode, the bucket going up in flames, the screams of the fireworks. It was the best. Dad and I agreed that it was time to put the fire out. My favorite part is peeing on it. So, that's what we did.

We were on our way back to the cabin. Harry and I in the backseat, the feeling is back. I look towards him and he's looking at me. I mouth, "Do you feel it?" He nods. I look out the window. We drive around. I really just want to go home and make out with Harry, but I can't.
