I Need You Now

Chapter 10

Here's another update.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day after having out with the Wanted, the boys insisted on hanging out at Louis flat. Well except for Harry who knew that anything could go wrong and coaxed them into doing something else, but their minds were set. The previous day, when Harry and Louis left LIams house, they had a little meeting of theirs.

"Louis' been so off recently." Liam said, laying on the couch. The others nodded. Niall was a on the arm of the couch and Zayn took Louis previous spot.

"I thought it was only me," NIall said, lightly scratching his head.

"And only Harry knows," Zayn pointed out. "They are always whispering about something they don't want us to hear. And during the whole game, Harry was looked sadly at Lou the entire time."

"Do you think there's something going on between them," Niall blurted out.

"Like what?" Zayn and Liam simultaneously said.

"Like what if  Larry Stylinson is real?" Zayn started to chuckle.

"Harry might be gay and Louis is bi but that doesn't mean that they like each other. We all know Harry just broke up with Siva and he's so sad even though he won't admit." Zyan explained. There was a moment of complete silence, filled with thinking.

"I hope we're still their best friends," Liam said rubbing his chin.

"Why would you say that?" Niall said.

"Because i know they are closer to each other than the rest of us but if it  concerns the band and its imagine,  think we should know about it." 

"What are they actually hiding?" Niall thought out loud.

"Guys, its a mess. You didn't give me time to clean up." Louis said, holding his keys tight in his hands. They were outside his flat's door and he was trying to come up with excuses.

"Louis, I usually clean up after you guys anyway so its not a big deal, I wont touch anything you don't want me to touch." Liam said.

"Guys, we could do something else like ," Harry faded, running a hand through his un quiffed hair.

"Its not like you store dead strippers in there so," Zayn said, pushing Louis aside and taking th keys from his hands, unlocking the front door. Everyone filed inside.

"You see therre's nothing wrong." Zayn said,placing the keys on the table and kicking his feet on the coffee table,relaxing back in the couch.

"Just act calm." Harry whispered as he passed by Louis.

"Well what do you want to do?" Louis heavily sighed.

"Just chill. We don't really have to do anything." Zayn said.

"But I do have a question," Niall said."What are you guys hiding?" Harry and Louis looked at each m other than looked at them.

"What do you mean?" Louis looked genuinely confused, than realization crossed his face, but dint show it.

"The thing that involves The Wanted and why you and Tom are so close?" Niall said, turning to face Louis.

"And why Siva acts like he has to protect you," Zayn voiced.

"And why you are so emotional over the littlest thing like the other day, when Zayn was talking about how you and Tom went to iHops. (Sorry, I can't make it more England base, but lets pretend.) What's wrong with you Louis, and why are you telling our rivals, rather than your best friends?"  Liam said, standing up.

"That kind of hurts, that you won't even tell us." Liam whispered. Harry looked away, not wanting to feel even more guilt on his heart. While Louis, his breath became staggered, though he tried to calm down.

"Let us help," Zayn said, standing up to and taking a step to Louis, who backed up against the wall.

"You guys are attacking him," Harry reasoned, steeping in between Louis and the rest of the band. Louis turned and ran out the front door, running until he could feel his heart rate come down. 

"Lou, Louis," Harry called out behind him, Louis turned around and eyes instantly watered.

"Harry," he managed to choke out. Harry jogged up to him, catching his breath.

"You need to tell them, today." Louis shook his head.

"No, i don't. They can find to by themselves. I just- I can."

"Lou, look at me," he shook his head. "Look at me, Louis Tomlinson." Louis eventually looked up.

"Yes, i know its hard, but they will be more careful about what they say to you and try to o protect you. I cant do it all alone." Harry sighed. "It was hard for me too: tell them I'm gay, but they stuck with me. Telling them i dated our rivals, we're still in the same band. And about the break up, it was one of the hardest things in my life. But they are still willing to protect me and hurt him in whatever form that is most discreet." Lou wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded. Harry stepped back coaxing him back to the flat.

"Come on, lets get a drink of water. I'll hold them back until you can breath."

Harry got Louis to walk with him to the flat where the boys were not in the living room.

"Guys," Harry called. Niall came out of the bathroom and Liam came out of the guest room, not really looking at Louis ad mumbled between themselves. Louis went into the kitchen to pour some water form a pitcher in the fridge.

"Where's Zayn?" Louis called before taking a sip of water.

"What's this," Zayn said coming out and holding up the small picture. Louis dropped the glass he was drinking from. It shattered from the fall. He froze and the room went quiet, Niall and Liam looked at the picture and back to Louis.

"Why do you have a sonogram?" NIall said, taking the picture from Zayn, and squinted at it. "And why does it say you?" Louis' heartbeat increased rapidly and that's when he fainted near the broken glass, feeling like it represented his heart perfectly.

Broken. Shattered. Impossible to put back together. Better if thrown away. Useless. Hurtful.
