Push Me (BoyxBoy)

Lay down beside me, in the hallowed water.

Harry's POV

I officially I haven't talked to Louis in three days,he's been avoiding me all around. The classes we have together he would skip, and he would make sure he sat next to Niall without inviting me over. The first time I went to him and asked if I could sit he told me Niall wasn't comfortable with that. I know he was lying because Niall started to shake his head shamefully. I can't ask him why he is avoiding me, because he has a perfectly good reason to. I have to get rid of my father. One way or another.

I decided Louis happiness and his sanity is more important than me wanting to not see my father. The third day that he completely ignores me I decide that that afternoon I was going to call my father and make him leave us (him) alone. How that was going to happen? I don't know. 

Louis POV

I know that avoiding Harry was probably stupid and immature, but I can't help how I feel. He was there a few nights ago at the bowling alley, and I had no clue. How am I suppose to be okay with that in any way? I'm standing next to my locker waiting for the final school bell to ring when Nick walks up to me looking burnt out immensely. What had happened to him? 

"Hey Louis. Where ya been?" Immediately when he speaks I can tell that he didn't brush his teeth that morning...maybe not in a couple of days. 

"I think the question is; where have you been? I've been at school. You haven't." He smiles like I said something he was hoping I would say.

"Ah, so you did notice my absence." He pauses biting his lip. I back up a little bit because the breath coming out of his mouth was really starting to affect me. "But anyway what I was really asking is, where have you been? I've been calling and texting you asking if we could hang out, but you never answer." 

I faceplam myself because, yes! I completely forgot that I was suppose to text him back. He steps closer to me giving me no space whatsoever. I back up a little more and place my books out in front of me so he has no room to go forward. I smile a little bit to cover up the awkward silence. 

"Uh yeah, I'm sorry Nick I forgot." I laugh a little bit. "You can blame it on Harry, he was keeping me occupied." My face flushes as I realized how that sounded. Wow two innuendos in one week? That's a record for me. His eyes spark as glares at the side of my cheek. His eyes start to glisten as his lip trembles. My mouth falls open and so does my heart to the guilt that comes pouring in. "Oh god I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that at all! I j-just need to get out of the house and he let me stay at his f-for a while...he kept me occupied cleaning...ya know how he keeps it dirty." What a horrible lie. 

He smiles a little bit. "So you're like...living with him?" He asked anxiously. 

"No not really. I've bee going home for the past three days b-but my phone has been off. I got an unexpected text Sunday so...yeah.." 

"From who? And why didn't you want to go home?" My mouth opens and closes with no words coming out. Why does he feel the need to know all of this? Lucky for me the school bell rings.

"Oh, there's the bell talk to you later Nick!" I call to him as I swivel around walking swiftly to the bus stop. I had been standing there for 5 minutes when I felt a pair of arms around me in one second and my foot is going in the invaders crotch the next. The person unhooked their arms from around my neck and fell to the ground. My eyes widen as I saw his hair.

Harry.

I felt like kicking him in the face. Why would he do that to me? He knows I'm jumpy, he's being mean and stupid.

"Why the hell would you do that to me?" I yell down at him. He has his eyes scrunched closed and his mouth hung open in a silent scream. Did I really hit him that hard? I drop down to my knees placing my hands on either side of his head lifting it up. "I'm sorry are you okay?" My tone drastically changes to one of concern. 

"N-no s'fine....urrggg" He groans. "I won't have kids..." He chuckled as I shook my head at him, how could he be joking right now?

"Harry I'm sorry." I tell him as I stand back up. 

"It's okay." He grips his crotch as he stands back up. "I j-just I wanted to tell you I'm going to talk to my father today." He shuffles on his feet awkwardly. I nod at him, it's fine if we wants to reconnect with his father, I just won't stand around to watch it.

"That's okay everyone needs a father in their life." He furrows his brows looking at me like I'm a mad man, but not replying for a minute, he just stars at me like some sort of mystical creature. He finally croaks out something I knew I would have to think about. He's so predictable.  

"What are you-...would you be okay with that?" I shrug my shoulders even though on the inside, I really am thinking this through.

"Yeah I guess I would. I would give anything to have my father back, but just because I'm okay with it doesn't me I'm going to be around and watch you two bond." He cracks a smile shaking his head. 

"You're awesome you know that? Anyway what I meant was, I'm going to talk to him today and get him to leave us alone. And by 'us' I mean you." I'm stunned. He would do that for me? Well yesterday he did say I'd do anything for you. Mhm. Isn't that weird? I feel my lips quirk up a little bit but it's soon gone and replaced with perfectly pressed straight lips.

"I don't want you to get hurt."

He looks at me like a wounded animal. "I think I'll be fine."

"Do you really want to take that chance?" He stares down at me stepping closer his crotch apparently forgotten. 

"Like I said: I'd do anything for you."
