Chapter 24

AN: Double update, hurray! I got so sad after posting the last chapter so I just had to update this one right away. Anyways, onto the chapter...

 HARRY'S POV

When I got home, I immediately laid down on my bed and broke down. Everything had turned into my worst nightmare and I still had no idea what had happened. It had all seemed so perfect but then, I had panicked and Niall had seen me. The worst part was him seeing my cuts and me freaking out and leaving him alone.

I knew I had to fix everything and I quickly decided I would, once I got some sleep. Before drifting off to sleep I texted Louis and asked him to come around as soon as he would be up. I knew I needed my best friend's support.

A bit later I woke up when my phone beeped loudly. I groaned as a protest, wanting my phone to keep quiet. At first I didn't want to check who it was but then I decided to do it, knowing it would most likely be just Louis. 

Harry no matter what happens, I love you. Please remember that, okay? - Niall

My eyes widened in shock. I had not expected that. I began to type in an answer, first writing 'I love you too' but I deleted it quickly because I thought confessing something like that via text message was just wrong.

I will, I promise. I'll call you a bit later okay, I just need to sleep for a few hours

I thought my answer was rather satisfying, I had made it clear that I was going to call him later. I was worried Niall thought I wouldn't contact him anymore which wasn't my plan at all.

I sighed before closing my eyes, trying to get some more sleep. I heard my phone beeping again and this time I was certain it was Louis answering to my message so I let it be, drifting off to sleep.

Around 10.30 I finally got up and checked my phone. Louis had answered to me, telling me he would come to my apartment around 11. I wanted to shower but I knew I didn't have enough time so I just quickly changed my clothes.

When Louis finally came to my apartment around 11, I opened up to him. I told him everything, how I had been cutting and also lying to him when I had told him I had stopped. I apologised and to my surprise, Louis wasn't angry. He just told me he understood. 

I also ended up confessing that I was gay. At first Louis didn't say anything but then he shook his head and told me he already knew. Apparently it was obvious. I didn't understand what he meant with 'obvious' but I didn't question him.

After that, we talked about what had happened last night. I told Louis everything, about my thoughts and feelings. I didn't leave a single part out and it felt good, opening up to him like that.

"And then I just panicked and left," I began to tear up and felt Louis' arms wrapping around me, holding me tightly.

"Harry, you have to tell him what you just told me," Louis gently said while petting my back.

"I know, I'm so scared though," I confessed.

"Don't be, he loves you Harry and I can guarantee he will understand just like I did," Louis reassured me.

"Thanks Lou," I pulled away from our hug and gave him a small smile.

"And I love you, by the way." Louis was using a playful tone but when I looked into his eyes, I saw he was being serious.

"I love you too. Now hug me again," I commanded and he chuckled a bit before hugging me like I had told him to do.

We sat there for ages just hugging but finally, I asked for some privacy and Louis said he would go back home. Before he left he made me promise that from now on, I would start telling him things and wouldn't keep everything inside.
