One Of Her Students.

Chapter Nineteen

As soon as they landed, Harry stayed by Louis’ side. He was aware that he couldn’t do anything affectionate because people they knew could be around them. So they just stood as close as they could to each other, Harry holding onto the fabric of Louis’ jumper. They walked in silence until they got into Louis’ car that had been left there for the past few days. 

"I don’t want to go back yet," Harry frowned, throwing his suitcase into the back of the car before opening the passenger door to get in.

"I don’t want to go either, babe." Louis said, also throwing his stuff in the back. He got into the driver’s seat, glancing at Harry. He spotted his frown, "Smile, please.." Louis murmured.

"Why?" Harry muttered, glancing at Louis. His eyes were soft.

"Because I like it when you smile." Louis answered, poking his cheek. "Please." He begged.

Harry glared at him for another second before giving him a forced smile and turning the other way. Louis sighed, starting the car. “Mind if we stop by Zayn’s and Liam’s first?”

Harry shook his head, “No, like I said.. I don’t want to go back yet.” Harry sighed, reaching out to touch the skin on Louis’ arm for some kind of physical contact that he was craving.

Louis brought one of his hands off of the steering wheel to intertwine his fingers with Harry’s. He glanced at Harry, giving him a reassuring smile before looking back at the road. Harry tightened the grip on Louis’ hand, almost like he didn’t want to let go of it ever.

When they arrived, Louis and Harry walked through Zayn & Liam’s door without knocking. “Louis!” He heard Liam yell, walking over towards the both of them. Louis gave him a grin as they both greeted him. Harry returned the little hug that Liam gave him also, giving him a smile.

"Hey guys." Zayn said as he walked into the room, "How was the trip?"

"It was great." Louis smiled, looking at Harry who nodded - agreeing with him.

"Someone got laid." Zayn laughed, causing Louis and Harry to turn bright red.

"Shut up, Zayn." Louis laughed. He gave Harry’s hand a reassuring squeeze before releasing it. Louis glanced at Zayn, "Can I talk to you?" He asked.

Zayn nodded, walking into the other room with Louis. Harry and Liam both looked at each other. Liam was obviously confused, but Harry knew exactly what they were talking about. 

"Eleanor called me last night and was telling me some things…" Louis frowned, scanning Zayn’s face. "She told me that you guys spoke?" 

"Yeah, she decided to come over way too early in the morning. You need to teach the bitch some manners." Zayn rolled his eyes.

Louis stared at Zayn, waiting for him to explain. He was a little surprised at how openly mean he was being about her to him. Usually he would make a few comments to Louis, earning some glares, but it was like he wasn’t even trying to hide it anymore. Louis kept watching Zayn as he shifted on his feet. “Well, she told me that you told her that you wanted me to cheat on her and she said that you were being rude to her..?” He pushed.

Zayn rolled his eyes, “That’s all that she told you?” He asked. Louis gave him a nod, basically encouraging him to tell him more. So Zayn continued, “Well she left out the part where she barged into my home when I didn’t even invite her in. Oh and when she called me a faggot. And when she told me that I don’t deserve Liam because he’s the sweetest person and I’m just an asshole. So, I told her that she didn’t deserve you. I told her that I hoped you were cheating on her because you deserve someone a lot better than that bitch. I was just telling her the truth, so if she thinks that telling on me is going to change anything..” He trailed off, shaking his head and chuckling without humor.
