What Are We? (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 2.

Louis p.o.v

Zayn smiles at me one last time and looks forward pretending to pay attention. I sigh and do the same. I never knew Zayn liked Niall. Yeah he's a flirt just like harry but he limits himself and he's very how you say playful about it. Zayn never showed that he never had any interest in Niall and he's usually just playful with Niall.

How could this even be possible? Niall is so cute-not that I have any interest in niall- and zayn is just so...well he's Zayn. I think about this whole situation making it bigger then it has to be and miss the whole teaching lesson. I hear the bell ring signaling us for third period and grab my stuff.

I start to walk out of the room when I hear Zayn call my name. I turn around and chuckle.

"Hey wait up." Zayn says gathering his stuff up as quick as he could.

"Hey" I smile fondly at Zayn. "So.. When did you start crushing on Niall?" I say walking out Of the class room with Zayn.

Zayn's smile fades away and he looks down at the ground.

"You don't have to tell me if you're not comfortable." I say trying to be the bestest friend I can be.

Zayn shakes his head and just walks away. I frown and sigh walking to my locker. I grab my stuff and quickly run off to third period.

~~~

The next two periods go by pretty fast and then I find myself walking to the lunch room with Harry. I frown when I see that we had an addition. Samantha. I never really liked her but I had no reason to. She's sweet and kind. I shake the thought out if my head and smile at her walking with Harry and Sam to the cafeteria. I see Harry talking to Sam a little more often then to me and I frown.

"Hey Harry?" I say softly. I don't get his attention and I sigh."Harry?" I say a little louder waving my hand in front I his face. I huff and roll my eyes."fine" I say walking away trying to find Niall and Liam.

How could he do that? He's been hanging around Samantha a lot and he's been a little distant. I always shake the thought away and forget about it but this time it's getting to me.

I finally see Niall and Liam walking side by side. Yes everyone knows that Liam and Niall were openly gay and they accepted it. Everyone didn't really make much thought of it when they did come out.

"Hey guys" I say putting on my fake smile.

"Oh hey lou!" Niall says smiling at me."where's Harry?" Niall says confused.

I roll my eyes "why should I care?" I shrug walking besides them with my head down.

Niall and Liam look at each other frowning. They look at me and try to look for a reason why I might be angry or mad.

"Are you alright mate?" Liam said concern in his voice.

Am I ok? No. I'm not ok. My best friend won't even pay attention to me let alone give me one look when he's around Samantha.

I sigh and look up "m'fine" I say walking into the cafeteria seeing Samantha and Harry sitting with Zayn. I scoff and walk into the line with Liam and Niall grabbing a tray. I finish grabbing my food and pay for it. I walk to our table setting my food down, not saying one word.

"Hey boo!" Harry smiles at me. I look up and then look back down picking at my food.

Harry looks hurt and confused."Are you alright boo bear?" He says trying to look into my eyes. I scoff and stand up.

"Excuse me" I say getting up with my food and walking to the trash quickly throwing it in the trash. I stuff my hands Into the pockets of my jumper and walk towards the cafeteria doors.

I sigh and walk through the halls with my hood. I walk up the stairs to the second floor of the school. I find the exit to the roof and smile walking up the extra flight of stairs. I open the door and smile again.

I close the door behind me carefully and walk on top of the roof admiring the view. I walk to the edge of the roof and sit down letting my legs dangle a bit. I sigh and put in my head phones turning my music up on blast. I let the music speak the words I'm too afraid to say and lay back closing my eyes.

~~~

I wake up and rub my eyes. I finally open my eyes and notice it's dark."fuck" I say under my breath. I scramble to find my phone and finally find it. I look at the time and see it's 5:45. I pull my legs back up over the edge and stand up dusting myself off. I quickly run towards the door and grab the key that's under the mat unlocking the door. I put the key back and close the door behind me. I run down the small flight of stairs and then run down the second flight of stairs. I run to my locker and unlock it. I open my locker and see a note fall to the floor. I look at it and grab it of of the floor. I open it and read it.

'Hey boo bear it's me harry. Can you please call or text me? I want to know what's wrong.

Harry xx'

I sigh and shake my head stuffing the note into my locker. I grab my things and stuff them into my black back pack. I shut my locker and swing my back pack over my shoulder. I run towards the school doors and take my phone out as soon as the doors shut behind me. I call my mum and hear her angry voice on the other side if the line.

"Louis William Tomlinson! Where in the world are you?!" My mom asks. I sigh and begin to make up my lie.

"I'm sorry mum I had to work on a school project with Niall. It was for science and I lost track of time. I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm on my way home right now and-"

"Oh Louis you should try and re think your lies because I called Niall's mum, Harry's mum, Liam's mum and Zayn's mum. They all said they had no idea where you were."

I cringe when I hear Harry's name and curse at myself.

"Mum I can expla-"

"Explain when you get home. Oh and this better be a good explanation." She says and the line goes dead.

I lock my phone and curse under my breath.why?! Why does the universe hate me?!

~~~

I lock my car and slowly approach my house. I grab my house keys with shaky hands and go to unlock the door. Before I can unlock the door my mum opens it before me.

"Hi mum" I say waving a little. She taps her foot on the floor and shakes her head.

"We've been waiting since 3:00 o'clock louis!" She says. I furrow my eyebrows and look past her seeing Harrt on the couch.

"What is he doing here?!" I whisper scream at her.

"He was as worried as I was! Louis he's your best friend!" She says whispering back. I roll my eyes not wanting to look at him any longer. I walk inside of the house and set my stuff down. I look at Harry and speak.

"You can leave now." I say looking down and I sigh turning on my heel heading for the kitchen. Harry gets up and grabs me by my arm.

"Hey what's wrong? You ditched me walking to lunch" Harry frowns looking at me with sad eyes. I look at him and sigh.

"I don't want to talk about it." I say pulling my arm away. I walk to the kitchen and look back to see Harry hurt and frowning.

I really hate seeing him hurt but this is the way that I react. And I can't change the way I react to this. I hear harry say goodbye to my mum and I look at the door and see Harry give me one last glance.

I hit my fist against the counter and close my eyes. Why can't things jut go the way I want them to?
