Trouble

Chapter Two

"You mean, he is gay?!"

"No! He is anything but that, remember I told you he screws with all the girls? If he was he would be gone by now. No one here likes gay people." Tessa adds, my heart drops. Looks like I'll never be able to be myself at "home."

"Well, what's his name?"

"Louis. Louis Tomlinson." That sounded so pretty, who said he could be that bad? I hold my head helplessy staring at Louis.

"Don't stare! He will beat the pure shit out of you if you even dare to look." Niall, looks back at his food, really? He was just human.

"You guys are stupid, maybe he is just lonley!" I stand up, my eyes never leaving him.

"Harry, stop!" Tessa pulls my sleeve back down, in a paniced order. Why is he so scary, he looks as soft as a baby kittne actualy. "He is mean, I know you want to be friends. He has done horrible things, just because he saved you from a ass beating doesn't make him cool. He has given many of those himself. Please do not fall for his looks, or him. He is a mean, big bully and deserves no friends, he is better off to himself to be honest." Tessa sounded harsh, but Niall and Zayn nodded along. Maybe I should just listen, they are just my friends and are saying that only for my sake, it has to be true. Atleast some of it.

...

"Harry, love. Please come in here." My mom pleads, still I haven't talked to her since Sunday. Its been four days, since then. And also since my encounter with Louis.

"What." I spit at her, crossing my arms and sitting on my hip.

"I am sorry, I should have come and picked you up! You told me you didn't want me to know about any of your life anymore, and I felt unwanted. H, you know I still love you, I just hope you haven't lost that for me. We have been fighting quite a bit, and I've been rude to you." My mom's eyes travel to her feet, her hands clasping together at the front, nervous. I didn't feel like complaining at her, so I just give in to get this over with.

"Of course I haven't lost love for you, and its fine." I pull her into my embrace, her breathes are short and, I think she is sobbing a bit, as I can feel my shoulders getting wet.

"Ok, thank you. I am also sorry and I don't want to have those fights with you anymore." I let go, and a few moments of comfortable scilence absorb the room. "Have you met any cute boys at school yet?" She sits down at the kitchen table, signilling for me to follow, I do.

"No." I lie, Louis was very cute. But I don't like him at all! He is obviously straight, and a douche bag.

"Really? Not one?" I shake my head, frowning. My mom would be the type to always wonder about my love life

"No, the cute ones are always straight." She gets up, pursing her lips and widneing her eyes.

"I beg to differ, all the gay guys are extremely attractive!" This was my mom, I throw my head back, cackling.

"Mom!" I say, getting up, "don't fool yourself." I whisper, while walking up the stairs, I hope I could find some hot guy who was gay. But apparently everyone here hates gay people. 

Louis was amazing, he had this kick to him, I so desperately wanted to get to know him, be friends. Maybe more.

My thoughts remind me of an old time back home, it gave me chills and brought tears up to the rims of my already rosy face.

*flash back*

I can see Ryan staring at me from the corner of his eye.

"Why are you staring at me, like that?" I ask, turning my gaze towards him. He was beautiful, little did he know how much I liked him.

"Sorry, I just thought you were crying." He looks at his thumbs, at which he was fiddling with.

"Crying? Why would you think that?" My voice cracks a bit.

"Because, well- the movie is sad." Ryan lets out a smaller laugh, his eyes meet mine once again. It seems so many moments that we have been looking at each other, smiling.

Ryan's eyes sparkle, suddenly realizing its been a while we've embraced each others presence.

"Hey, Ryan?" He snaps back into reality, his smile fades. "Can I tell you something?" This was my moment, years, years, we have been friends. Yet he had no clue that I was so clinicly in love with him.

"Y-yeah." He sits up a bit, surprised because I never really would bring up something like that unless it was extremely important.

"I- I..."

"C'mon, just say it before you choke on it."

"I am so in love with you. Every little thing, and trust me I have done everything to keep it back and not let it take over me. But I have fallen so hopelessly in love with my best friend and I can't help it, you're my first love, and my only. Ryan, I know you probably don't feel the same way but I-"

"I don't!" He screams, his voice echo's through out my room, drowning out the movie. His eye brows slanted inward and his fists clenched at his sides. "Harry! What the hell? We are friends and I would never want to be anything more, maybe I don't even want to be friends anymore. You disgust me." He hisses, snatching his jacket from the bed. The tears soaking up my face are unstoppable, I loved him so much and fro him to respond like this- it was absolutely agonizing.

"Ryan, I am sorry. I don't want us to not be friends I just-" Yet again he interrupts with his rasping words.

"Consider us strangers Harry." And with that he left, leaving me alone to cry my heart out all night long.

*EOF*

No, not now. I will not fall in love with Louis, I will not fall in love with anyone. Ever again.

(~ Hey guys<3 pretty please vote, comment, and share with friends. I know this chapter is mostly a flashback, but it was a pretty interesting one. Some of you have messaged me telling me that the chapters are very short, its only because I update daily or every other day. I never go below 1000 words, but if it really bothers you comment what you think? If you want longer chapters, I will try to do about 2000, but I will update like every 4-5 days. If not, the pattern will continue! I couldn't possibly have time for that much writing every single day. Anyway, I hope I make you happy, please keep reading! And share, I work very hard for you all, and even though I get no reads I refuse to delete it! Aha, love you lots like tater tots. <3~)
