Harry's p.o.v
I feel bad the next morning for not giving Louis a goodnight kiss when I had the chance. Not to mention not saying "I love you" back. I was being a grump and he knew it.
I get up out of my bunk and open Louis' curtain. He is lying there on his back with one hand on his stomach and one arm behind his head. He looks like a angel..
I crawl in beside him and close the curtain. The boys are all still sleeping. I'm usually always one of the first one's up. I lie on his chest and look up.
"Louis.." I say softly hoping I don't wake the others. I kiss him softly on the lips and lay my head against his collar bone. "I'm sorry".
I close my eyes and feel him shift from under me. "Harry..?" He groans and turn his face towards the wall. I smile and nod. "I'm here boo.."
He doesn't answer, he just starts to snore. I roll my eyes playfully and kiss his cheek. I hear my phone start to ring. I quickly get up bumping my head. I curse under my breath and run to the lounge part of the bus.
I look at the contact, It's Nick. Nick is one of my good friends. We hang out often, but Louis gets really jealous because he is gay too. Nick doesn't know I'm gay. I was thinking about telling him before we told the boys but it comes across my mind that doing that would be wrong. Besides, if Nick knows.. the world knows. He is a radio host.. and if the world knows, we could lose some of our fans. Some people don't respect gay rights, that scares me and makes me upset in a way.
I turned gay when I was fifteen. I found that I was more attracted to guys compared to girls. I was a ladies man in junior high, but as I grew older I figured it just wasn't me. I started liking this guy who went to my high school before X factor. We were the same age. I stalked him a lot. I noticed the little things he did, just as I do for Louis. I didn't have the guts to ask him out, half the reason was because I didn't want to ask him if he was gay or at least bisexual.
So then when I auditioned for X factor, I met Louis. I remember meeting him in the bathroom stalls and how his hair hung messily across his forehead. I remember when I was washing my hands he stopped me and took out his phone. "May I get a picture with you..?" He asked sounding a bit nervous. "Sure.." I cheekily grinned. He snapped the picture and looked at it in aw. "Uhm, is there a reason you wanted a picture with me?" I ask shyly. There was nothing special about me, I don't think anyways. Besides the fact that one of my legs is longer than the other which causes me to have a weird posture. "I was just looking at you and thought to myself, he is going to be famous someday. Now, if that does happen, I can say I was your first fan and I got my first picture with you." He laughs locking his phone. Louis looked at me. Did he look at me in admire. He thought I was going to be famous? What?
When he left the stalls, I still remember the feeling of butterflies fluttering in my stomach. I was scared that I wouldn't see him again, that is why I am so thankful now that we are together.. because if it wasn't for Simon putting us five boys together, chances are my and Louis would not be together and we still wouldn't know each others names.

I end up calling back because my thumb never met the screen in time. Nick picks up right away out of breath. "Hello?" He chimes. I smile and slouch back in the couch. "Hey mate, you called?"
"I did, I did. I was wondering if you wanted to join me by the beach today. Rita may be tagging along as well."
I pause. Rita Ora. Not Rita Ora. I grunt and pick at the hangnail on my thumb. "What's wrong mate?" Nick asks in concern. "Nothing mate, and yeah sure. I'll come." Nick sighs in relief. "I thought you would say no, but that's great. I guess I'll meet you there. Does three thirty sound good?"
"Mhhmm.." I mumble. "See you there!" He says before hanging up. I run my fingers through my curls. Why Rita. Rita is the last person I want to see there. She always flirts with me, Louis hates it. After that picture he seen of us and how close we were to each others face, he flipped.
I remember apologising and promising I would never get that close to a women again. I even wrote him a sorry letter. He finally accepted my apology a week later after the picture went public. I guess it really hurt him.
I let out a harsh sigh and put my feet upon the coffee table. Liam comes out in his boxers and stretches wide. "Hey," he mumbles sleepily while letting out a giant yawn. "Hi.."
"It's really early, I can't believe I'm up." He rubs the sleep from his eyes and goes to the diner area, where we are occupied with a fridge, stove and a microwave. I stay in the lounge room and close my eyes. I soon hear a groan, I could tell it was Louis. I open one eye and smile, "Morning handsome.."
Louis grins and itches the back of his head. "Morning.." I shift uncomfortably and bite down on my bottom lip. "I'm sorry by the way..I was really tired last night, that's the only reason why I didn't give you a kiss or even say goodnight." I pout as I wait for a response.
"I heard you earlier, it's ok." He grins making my cheeks flush red. He gives me a wink and enters the diner area as well. I head to the mini dressing room to go through my stack of clothes and see what I am capable to wear to my beach plans.
I pull out my white t shirt and cacky shorts. It's a little plain but it will do. I also get a pair of clean socks and boxers. Once I am fully changed I apply some clone to my neck. It's one of Louis' favourite scents, Pine Cone Mist.
When I return to the lounge area, I now see all of the boys have awakened. "Hey guys, I'm going out for a bit. I should be back around supper hour." I rush to the door of the bus before I get caught up in Louis' questions in concern of where I will be going.
I hear Louis' approach. He is watching me slip on my scuffy shoes. I am bent over to tie them and then I hear a loud sigh from above. I look up and smile. "Yes my boo?" He rolls his eyes and folds his arms across his chest. "You promise you'll be here at supper time, I want you to cook up some mac and cheese for both of us." I smile and nod. "Of course I will." I go to leave but then I he stopped by the magic question.
"Where are you going anyways.."
I hesitate. "Uh.." I stutter for a moment then cough to cover up my excuse. "My dad is in town, he asked me to pay a visit." I smile and step down the tour bus steps. "Ok, be careful!" He quickly says before waving
