When the Stars Aline (Larry Stylinson AU)

So its Official

I ran as fast as I can, refusing to look back or let myself think about anything besides getting my ass home. I can't believe I just let out one of my biggest secrets to someone I had barely met. Yeah, he had told me about himself too-but he wasn't in the closet still. Shouldn't I be happy that I have a chance with the guy that I'm beginning to love? In usual cases I would, but I have so much worries in my mind that I can't quite be happy with anything.

I finally reach my house and go inside, sliding to catch my breath just as I did the other day. As soon as I can breathe again, I regret running away like that. It was completely rude and cowardly of a move to make. However, I can't use my time trying to take back my thoughtless actions when my family is standing in front of me; Dad's eyes filled with anger and rage, Lottie and Liam's filled with concern, and Mom not giving a fuck as usual.

I decide that I really can't face them-specifically him- and turn for my room, using any last bit of energy that lingered inside of me. I can hear Dad furiously running after me and know that this is another action I will eventually regret, but I don't care right now. I can't handle anything else today and I need to be alone.

Finally, I slam the door close and fall onto my bed. I stuff my face in a pillow and scream as loud as I can, trying to relieve all of my negative thoughts and anxiety. I pace back and forward, trying to block out Dad's yells and threats and finally hear steps lightly tracing down the stairs. I pause for a couple of moments-silence. At last.

A knock appears on the window. I guess silence has not yet arrived.

"Louis, its just us please open up," I hear Liam call.

I sigh and unlock the window. I've shunned enough people I care for today I can't do the same to my brother and sister.

They crawl through the window and find a place in my room to settle themselves. When everybody is slightly physically comfortable but still not at ease in our minds, Lottie speaks.

"WHERE WERE YOU?!" she yell whispers.

"I just went over to a friends house after school for a couple hours," I explain.

"We were worried sick about you!" she says.

"I didn't see the big deal in it it's not like I went clubbing somewhere in the middle of no where and did heroin and had a kid," I say in defense for myself.

"We didn't know where you were and we were scared that something had happened to you. We even called out Niall, who was sick, to help look for you and we couldn't find you in your usual whereabouts. We had to go to our last result, which was telling Dad, and our next option was to report you to the police," Liam says.

"Why were you so concerned it was only but a couple hours!" I protest.

"Louis, we know what happened today at lunch," Lottie says.

"Wha-what who told you?" I asked.

"Everybody knows. It's all over the internet and was the hot topic at senior lunch today. Max and his friends shouldn't even of been in junior lunch, for one thing. But besides that point, they were suspended for what they did to you," Liam explains.

Well isn't that just peachy. Now the whole school will be questioning me and I'm sure gonna get it from Max when he comes back from suspension.

"And how does that have anything to do with me not coming home right away?" I ask.

"We thought they had done something to you in revenge for being the cause of their suspension or you had done something to yourself. People say you didn't look to good when you ran out of there when that new kid made them let you go," Lottie says.
