HARRY'S POV

I swore as I realised what I had let happen. I couldn't be gay. I couldn't. I needed to stop fate and get a girlfriend as soon as I was out of this hospital.

The problem in my pajama bottoms begged to differ and I sighed knowing it wouldn't go away.

**

As I came out of the bathroom Louis winked. "Your loud." Louis commented and I blushed bright red. "I could have helped."

Oh god, Louis had better stop or I'll be back in the bathroom. "Im sorry." I said feeling the need to apologise and Louis shook his head. "Why would you be sorry?" Louis asked.

In his head we were still together and I didnt want to upset him so I went along with whatever he wanted. When he slung his arms round me I couldn't push them away. It would hurt him too much.

"I don't know I just-" I started not knowing what to say. I got back into the hospital bed sighing. "When can I leave this place?" I asked wanting to know.

"Umm I'm not sure." Louis said, "Want me to go ask?" I nodded and Louis walked out of the room.

When Louis came back he looked happy. "They want to run a few tests but after that you can leave tomorrow!" Louis said and did a little dance. I laughed.

"Umm where do I live?" I asked realising I didn't even know. Louis stopped dancing. "With me. Although if you don't want to or-" Louis said stuttering. I cut him off saying, "Of course I'll stay with you, we're best frends right?" I said immediately realising I had said the wrong thing.

Louis smile dropped and I felt stupid. "Louis I didn't mean to- god." I said wanting to cry. "Its fine." Louis said although I could tell it wasn't. "I'm a mess." I said and I felt like it.

Louis sat on the bed and put his arms round me. It was strangely familiar and it was almost as if this had happened before. "Does this happen often?" I asked and Louis looked confused.

"Does what happen often?" Louis said. "When I get upset do you cuddle with me?" I asked. "Yes and watch titanic." Louis said. "God we are so cliché." I said laughing.

We cuddled for a while and it felt so... right. "Always Titanic?" I said after a while and Louis laughed, "Not always, but usually." He said.

"Get us a cuddly bear and some soppy music and we could star in the next soppy love film." I said and Louis laughed. His laugh was so cute. Wait cute? Did I feel something for this boy who had been cuddling me for an hour? Best friends don't act this way.

Then I remembered how Louis feels. I am only doing this to make him happy. I almost fell asleep when Louis moved his arms and I whined. "Sorry, I have to go, Zayn will be waiting." Louis whispered and I smiled half asleep.

Louis tucked me in and kissed my forehead. I think he thought I was asleep. "I love you Haz." Were Louis last words to me as he left and I was left with the question, did I love him back?

ZAYN'S POV

I was waiting by the car and Louis arrived looking pleased with himself. "How'd it go?" I asked and Louis smiled. "I'll tell you on the way to Liam's." Louis replied hopping in the car as I groaned.

"So spill." I said as we left the hospital. "We were watching the video diares and he asked me to bite his shoulder again." Louis said and I smiled.

"That good." I said and Louis nodded. "He sure is loud." Louis said and I went pale. "You didn't." I said and Louis began to laugh. "He did." Louis said moiting and I understood.

Louis winked at me, "I still got it." Louis said and I rolled my eyes.

We pulled up at Liam's house and I gulped. "I can't believe your this nervous." Louis said, "Its only Liam."

"He's changed." I said and we got out of the car. Louis rang the doorbell and nothing happened. Louis held it down the sure way to get Liam to answer it. "Oh he is going to kill us both now." I commented and Louis rolled his eyes.

Liam finally anwered the door, only wearing boxers and his hair was ruffled. "Hey, Louis-" Liam said and then he turned to me. His smile dropped and his eyes seemed to turn black.

"What are you doing here?" Liam said and Louis raised his eyebrows. "Can we come in?" Louis asked. "I'm busy." Liam said glancing upstairs and Louis shrugged. "This is important." Louis said going into the house past Liam.

I followed and Liam went upstairs. "I'll be back in a minute!" Liam shouted and Louis sat on the couch. "Did you see that?!" I said and Louis nodded. "Maybe you were right."

Liam came down the stairs followed by Niall who was also in boxers. Oh god. Now we know why they didn't answer the door. Louis cleared his throat as Niall and Liam pulled on clothes.

Liam smirked at me as Niall refused to make eye contact. "What is so important?" Liam asked. "Zayn told me." Louis said and Liam through a punch. I clutched my face.

"LIAM!" Louis shouted rushing to check I was ok. "I warned him." Liam said to no one in particualar. Why wasn't Niall doing anything? I shrugged Louis off me insisting I was fine.

"You can't force him to leave the band and everyone he knows and loves." Louis said calmly. "Just accept the fact he isn't leaving." Louis said. "I won't talk to Niall if thats what you want," I said pausing, "If thats what Niall wants?" I said.

Niall shrugged. "Niall dosen't want to speak to you anymore." Liam siad. The words stung even not coming from Niall

"Liam clearly your upset but once you've clamed down you'll see your being unfair." Louis said and I could tell Liam was getting worked up.

"Come with me." Liam said walking outside. I got up and Louis stopped me. "I can handle him." I said wanting to prove to Niall I could take Liam.

I arrived in the backgraden and Liam glared at me. I had always felt slghtly intimited by Liam. He was taller, had a better voice and a better personalty. He is also very good looking. Qualities I can never compete with.

"I thought I told you to stay away." Liam said circling me. It was like he was a tiger and I was a small moose waiting to be killed. "Louis convinced me I should stay. I never really wanted to go anyway." I said and Liam got more angry.

"Well Niall dosne't want you so you can forget about that." Liam said. "Niall himslef, never said that." I said feeling brave. It wasn't long before I was on the ground bleeding and blacking out.

Liam was going to kill me I was sure of it. He was kicking me constantly and my body couldn't take much more. "Where's Niall now? Huh?" Liam said taunting me and I smiled. I couldn't let him win.

He kicked me harder. I was guessing he had seen me smile. I thought of how great my life had been and how many peole had supported me. I was more of a man than Liam would ever be. Suddenly the kicking stopped and I opened my eyes.

Louis was punching Liam and Niall was here looking at the floor. As Louis punching the living daylights out of Liam Niall walked over. He helped me up and took me inside.

"You'd better be thankful for this." Niall said and I smiled. "I'm the one who will be getting beaten after this."

I took it as a joke but then I started to notice the brusies. The slight limp in Niall's walk. He wouldn't. Would he?
