Hidden Scars (Larry Stylinson AU)

Chapter 11

Driving Zayn to the train station took about fifteen minutes. Zayn told him not to but Harry offered too kindly that Zayn felt bad to turn him down.

Harry and Zayn were sat in the front seats with Louis in the back. Zayn had whispered to Louis that he could sit in the front if he wanted. He wanted. He wanted to sit beside Harry but decided on letting Zayn sit there. He'll sit there on the way back. Besides he couldn't act too clingy towards Harry or he'll think Louis is a weird one. Honesty, Louis was scared of things that weren't supposed to be scared off. But, on his position, he was right.

Louis had moved everything of his to Harry's place, with the help of the two, that would be useful for the upcoming few weeks. He still had the key to Zayn's and his apartment if he needed anything from there anytime.

"You be alright. I'll call, skype, text. You are gonna pray that I stop." Louis laughed at what Zayn was saying.

They had reached the station just in time for Zayn to catch his train. It was time for boarding and Zayn hugged Louis ever so tightly, a tear slipped Louis' eyes. Louis was facing Harry so it was easy for Harry to wipe it, he knew Zayn wouldn't want to see Louis crying.

"I'll miss you." Louis whispered.

"Only three weeks. Take care alright. Don't do anything you'll regret." Louis knew exactly well what Zayn meant and nodded.

Zayn released Louis and hugged Harry as well. It didn't matter that he met Harry not more than two weeks ago, he had grown close to the boy. He waved his last goodbye and climbed up the train.

Soon the engine roared and the chimney screeched. The sound of the wheels running on the tracks echoed and the train started and went out of sight not a long while later.

That was it. Louis and Harry were left alone.

"So...wanna head home now? Or any place else you wanna go?'' Harry asked and Louis sighed looking down.

"Home." Hearing Louis say home to Harry's house made Harry's heart flutter. It felt good. It felt right.

They walked back to Harry's black Range Rover and clambered up, Harry on the driver's seat and Louis on the passenger seat.

Harry wasn't just going to take him home with out brightening Louis' mood. The past days he learned few things about Louis and he thought of using one of the facts to his benefit.

He took a different turn and he was sure Louis didn't notice. He soon stopped when Louis least expected. They do say expect the unexpected. When Louis looked outside the window, he saw shops.

"This isn't your home." Louis said confusedly.

"I know. Come on out." Harry smiled, teeth and dimple and all. Louis couldn't not obey that so he did what he was told.

"Follow me." Louis was on Harry's tracks looking down and soon bumped into the hard frame of his body.

"Oops. Sorry." Louis mumbled, blushed forming, as looked down again.

Harry put two fingers under Louis' chin to get him to look up. "No need to be sorry. And I don't want you to be this shy with me. Please don't be. I'm the same Harry I was the past week. What made you act so shy?"

"Nothing."

"Well I guess you'll love our stop." Harry chuckled when Louis gave a quizzical look to him. "Look at where we are." Harry bobbed his head to the side and Louis' eyes followed the direction only to glimmer seconds later. He looked at Harry, who looked delighted after seeing Louis' reaction.

"Come on." Harry reached his hand forward and Louis took a few short seconds to give his hand to Harry, almost hesitant. Harry took notice and rubbed his thumb on the back of Louis' petite soft hand. The gesture seemed to have Louis loosen up a little, making Harry proud of himself.
