Feeling Your Love

Chapter 1

Hello. My name is Harry Edward Styles. I'm 17 years old, a senior in high school In Doncaster, but I was born and raised in Redditch, United Kingdom until I was 12 years old. I live with my mum, Anne Styles, who divorced my dad, Desmond, many years ago. I rarely see my dad, except when he isn't 'busy' with work. Don't get me wrong, I get along just fine with my dad but we're not as close as mum and I are. I have a best mate named Niall Horan, who's originally from Mullingar, Republic of Ireland but he moved here with his mum, Maura Gallagher, several years back and we meet in middle school. Niall and I meet our other best mates Liam Payne and Zayn Malik, our 9th grade here in high school. Liam was born in Doncaster but moved here with his family when he was 13 years old. Zayn was born in Bradford but moved here in 2nd grade when he and Niall become friends when Zayn beat the hell out a couple of boys who were bulling Niall.

My dad has a small issue with my being gay but thankfully mom absolutly has no issues with my being gay. My mom is an awesome parent and she's always encourging my older sister, Gemma and I to be who were are, true to be honest with ourselves and not conform to what others believe we should be. Dad was a little dissapointed that he figures I won't be able to pass on the Styles name but he doesn't figure that I can adopt and my son would have the last name to carry on. Whatever it's his issue not mine and I'm not going to date and get a woman pregnant to make him happy. I want to find the love of my life and be happy, yes I know he and I would fight but what couple doesn't? My sister Gemma, sometimes I swear is a second mom to me. She may only be 2 years older than me but she always treated me more like her son than her baby brother.

So, now that you know a little back story about me let me contiue on from present day. Currently today is the first day of school and I'm glancing over my schedule to see what my first two blocks of the day are. Ugh, Math and English, alright onward to Math. I just hope that Niall, Zayn or Liam or all three have a majority of my classes with me otherwise this is going to be a long ass year. Walking into class, I make my way to the very back of the room to the last table that sits four people and hope for the best. The next two people to walk in are Niall and Liam. Awesome! I wave at them and they smile broadly as they make their way back to me. Niall plopping down next to me and Liam next to him.

"Hey mate, how are you?" Nialler asks as he pulls out his text book.

Smiling at my redheaded mate, "Hey mate, I'm good how are you?" Glancing at Liam as he settles pulling out his book as well. "Hey Liam, how are you mate?"

Liam smiles broadly at me and then at Niall. "I'm okay, ready for this year to be done." Liam smirks at Niall before he leans over to kiss him gently on the lips. "I want this year to be done so Nialler and I can dorm together at Uni." This causes Niall to smile broadly at Liam. Oh, I guess it's obvious that Liam and Niall are dating, they have been since the beginning of last school year. They are so damn cute together, I hope that I can find that someday soon.

The rest of the morning drags on, in English, only Zayn is in that class with me and that's okay, he's a good guy, a little rough around the edges but once you get to know him, he's like a big teddy bear, just don't tell him I said that. He likes to keep the bad boy image alive and well. Perrie, Zayn's girlfriend, is such a sweetheart and such a perfect match for Zayn, she keeps him centered in life and helps him to control his mouth which tends to get him in trouble sometimes.

Walking into the cafe with Zayn and Perrie, I quickly scan the room for Liam and Niall to find them in the line to buy food. The three of us wander to the line to buy our lunches before joining the two love birds at a table. Several minutes into our conversation, there's a big crash causing us to turn toward the noise to see a new student who looks to be our age had been pushed and his lunch was all over his clothing and a group of guys laughing at the boy on the ground.

Standing up I wander over to the incident and shove the boy who pushed the new kid and help the new kid up to see he's crying silently. Walking him over to the table where my friends are at, I sit the kid down next to me where no one else was sitting and hand him half my lunch with a smile.

"I'm Harry," I tell this blue eyed beauty as I introduce him to everyone else as I say their names. "That's Zayn and Perrie, and the other love sick couple are Liam and Niall."

This boy with carmel colored hair and sea blue eyes stares at me in confusion. "Sowwy, wha?" he says in broken words like a small child. Oh, I wonder if he's deaf. Smiling at this beauty sitting to my left, I slowly speak to him giving him time to read my lips better this time. I don't pity him, I can't, he's even more beautiful now to me.

"What's your name?" I ask the boy in front of me.

"Lou," he replies and I just want to wrap my arms around him, to hug him and I feel the need to protect him, he seems so pure and innocent.

"Hello Lou, it's nice to meet you," the five of us tell him causing him to blush and smile. I need to remember to have a pen and paper handy in case he doesn't catch something we say to him. I don't want him sad or frustereated because he feels left out and I'm making a stop at the bookstore after school today to buy a book or two on sign language. I want to speak to him and make him comfortable and that's exactly what I did.

I look at his schedule and I'm excited to see that he and I have our last three blocks together. I smile as I show him mine and he notices the same. Niall and Liam share the last two blocks of the day with us and Zayn shares the block right after lunch with Lou and I. Good more people to help me protect Lou from lunch on to the end of the day. Before lunch is done I pull my phone out and ask Lou to put his cell phone number in it and he happily does this for me. Once he hands me my phone back I instantly pull his name up and text him.

To Lou: Hi Lou, it's Harry. I'm glad I got to meet you today and become your friend.

I see Lou's eyes crinkle up from his beautiful smile as he quickly types a reply back on his phone.

To Haz: Hi Haz, is it okay I call you Haz? I'm glad you came over and helped me so thanks. I'm glad we're friends, too, and everyone else here at the table too.

Smirking at Lou as I type a reply to him.

To Lou: I love the name Haz, you are the only one allowed to call me Haz. Let's go to our next class that we have with Zayn and Perrie.

I see Lou's smile widen as we head to History. I have a wonderful feeling that a long term friendship has been born due to those damn shithead's that were messing with Lou. Hate them but thankful at the same time because I might not have noticed Lou otherwise. The rest of the day flew by due to spending it with awesome mates that made this damn horrible school day so much more tolerable.
