Warning: Self harm, purging

Louis' POV

Here I am now, in choir with a beautiful man, who told me to call when I have problems.

Jesus lordy.

"Hey Lou? I wanna ask you a question, and you don't have to answer if you don't want" Harry says seriously. Uh oh.

Did I do something?

I bet I make him uncomfortable.

"Why... Why do you like me?" Harry asks, cutting himself short in the middle of the sentence to see what he was saying was appropriate.

"Um" I start to blush... hard. "I-I don't know..." I answer looking down, embarrassed.

The rest of choir was awkward silence.

*After school*

Harry's POV

The remaining class periods flash by quickly, and I found myself in the football field warming up.

My mind drifts off to Louis and what he said.

I do like him but not THAT way. Right?  He is nice, sweet, shy and absolutely adorable and innocent and I love how large sweaters cover his little hands. But I don't like him...

"Hey mate, deep in thought?" Zayn mutters next to me with Luke.

" Just a bit. Nothin' important" I say, stretching my hamstrings.

"Oh get this," Zayn rambles. "Kendall told me something about Louis" I look up by Louis name. "What?" I ask, and furrow my eyebrows.

And he tells me about Louis journal.

"No way," I say shaking my head. and stretching out my arm. That can't be true.

Louis likes me, but not that much.

...

Right?

******tralala******

I shower after practice, and exit the school to begin my walk home.

I walk up the stairs by the field and I stop in my spot when I heard the OH so familiar angelic voice.

I stood there, in the middle of the stairs, listening to Louis.

*I can hold my breath

I can bite my tongue

I can stay awake for days

If that's what you want

Be your number one

I can fake a smile

I can force a laugh

I can dance and play the part

If that's what you ask

Give you all I am

I can do it

I can do it

I can do it

But I'm only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I'm only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head, knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

'Cause I'm only human.

Only human...*

He finished off.
