Being Louis (Zouis)

Chapter 25

-Liam

After I drop Dani off, I drive home. I unlock lock the front door and walk in expecting total chaos but I find that it's complete silence. I walk upstairs and go in each room to check on my boys. Just as I'm about to shut Louis's door, he pops up with a groan.

"Dad?" I turn around and look at Louis rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah, it's me. Just go back to sleep."

"But I want to know how your date went!" I sigh and hold my hand up.

"Just go back to sleep, Louis." He shakes his head and crosses his arms with a smirk.

"You got some didn't you?"

"I-what?"

"You go, Dad." He throws his fist in the air and nods.

"Goodnight, Louis." I turn back around and shut the door.

"Oh, Louis." I walk to Harry's room and open the door.

"Harry? Do you know what time it is? Go to bed!" He ignores me and continues reading the paper in his hands.

"Harry? Are you listening to me?" He gasps then looks at me with teary eyes.

"What's wrong?" My face softens as a tear rolls down his face. He runs over to me and cries into my chest.

"Harry?" He holds up the paper he was reading then continues to hug me.

My dearest Harry,

This is hard to say but I can't love you, not even like. I just don't want to be called all these rude names. I know we kissed and I gave you that ring and all but I didn't really mean that. I didn't. You mean absolutely nothing to me, you're like a plastic bag, no one cares about you. I'm better off without you and I don't need you.

Goodbye.

Yours Truly,

Josh

I ball up the paper and hug Harry.

"Oh, Harry." He shakes his head and wipes his face with the back of his hand.

"I'm so sorry." He hiccups and looks up at me.

"I found it in one of my books." He pulls away from me and starts to play with the string on his shirt.

"It can only get better." He looks back up at me with anger in his eyes. He stomps his foot down then points to me.

"What do you know? You have half the bloody neighbourhood wanting your love and affection!" He pushes past me and runs to the bathroom then slams the door. I let out a small sigh and walk to Niall's room.

"Goodnight, Niall." I kiss his forehead and walk to my room.

-Harry

As soon as I hear Dad's door closes, I walk back to my room. I lay on my bed and just think about what will happen tomorrow. The principal said I could come back to school early because Nick admitted to instigating the fight. I was actually planning to enjoy my suspension. No bullies, No homework, No nothing! Except me, the couch, and the telly. But now I have to go back to that horrible place.

"Have a good day!"

"Bye, Dad!" I wave then Dad drives away. I wave to my teacher then walk over to my usual reading spot. As I'm reading, I hear a noise coming towards me. I try to keep calm and read but it sounds like someone is trying to climb up here.

"Maybe they're just rough housing in the mulch again." I reassure myself and look down at my book but I can see the same messy quiff in the corner of my eye.

"Hey." I turn the page of my book and keep reading.

"I said, hey." I ignore him again so he snatches the book out of my hands.

"Come on, Nick! I don't have time for this!" I cross my arms and turn away from him.

"I heard what happened with Josh. I'm sorry." I shake my head and continue to look down.

"That's none of your business. Just go away." I try and scoot away from him but he grabs my wrist and pulls me back towards him.

"I'm not going anywhere." He smashes his lips onto mine. I quickly push him off and wipe my lips.

"What the hell, Nick?" He throws my book behind his head and puts his hands on my waist.

"Can I walk you to class?"

"I don't understand."

"What?"

"You bully me for liking a guy and being a nerd and now all of a sudden you like me? I don't understand, I-" He grabs my face and kisses me again causing me to blush. I try to not enjoy it but my body keeps asking for more.

-Louis

I get out of my class and walk over to Zayn. He pushes off the locker and pecks me on the cheek.

"Come on, let's go." We walk out of the building and walk home.

Early release has never felt so good.

As we walk home hand in hand, Zayn looks over at me.

"So what exactly happens when I black out?"

"Well, you change into different types of personalities."

"Well, I know that." He laughs a little.

"Do they talk to you? Or do they ignore you?"

"I've only met three and they're okay except for Javadd."

"Oh, him."

"Yeah."

"Has Javadd ever-" He looks around, trying to find the right word.

"Touched you?" I shake my head.

"Why do you ask?" Zayn sighs.

"I recently saw what Javadd wrote on the board and I just don't want him to hurt you."

"What did he write?" I look at him worried.

"He said maybe I'll beat up the little queer. Maybe not." I look down then Zayn squeezes my hand.

"But I already wrote down for him to not touch you. So don't worry, please?" I stop walking and face him.

"I love you." I kiss and hug him then we continue walking.

"Of course you do. Who wouldn't love all of this?" He says gesturing to his body.

"You're so weird." He smiles at me as we continue walking home.
