I Remember You Laughing [Larry Stylinson]

Chapter 39- The Gazebo Party part 2

A/N:-Hey this chapter is basically a continuation of the previous chapter. Some sections are present tense here too so just a heads up. I left the deeper scenes in past tense verb form. Warning:- Fighting/ physical harm trigger in here as well.

4k plus readers...I'm speechless. You all have no idea how grateful I am for this. I have written in the past but never for online readers (or any readers for that matter) so I'm swimming in emotions right now. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for this. Please stay a few chapters more. I have all questions to be answered. Please give votes and comments to my work and check out my other story Sometimes We Break So Beautiful.

I hope you enjoy.

Louis' face stings. He realizes it had come into contact not only with Harry's palm, but all his rings as well. Not giving himself time to get over the shock, he grabs both Harry's hands, but the boy shoves him away, hard.

Little does he know that all occupants of the front yard- even the two hiding inside the SUV- heard the loud crack of the slap and were now staring at them.

"HEY! Leave my brother alone!"

A furious Daisy runs to her brother's rescue. She dives into Harry and starts hitting the surprised boy in his chest and neck and wherever else her arms flew. Louis- still in shock himself- grabs her off of him, and Harry then disappears inside again.

From the roof of her mouth to the floor of the vehicle; that was the length of Lottie's jaw-drop at the moment as she and Trey witnessed the whole thing. They quickly darted back down out of sight as Mark went rocketing over to his son.

"Okay, start talking!" Mark serious-tones as he holds up Louis' chin in his fingers to get a better look at the lash. Louis lets out a burdened sigh, closing his eyes, unable to say a word.

"Does Anne know?" He asks his son after sending the girls back to the party. All Louis can manage in reply is a weak shake of the head, and Mark over-dramatizes what should be a simple inhalation, making Louis want to roll his eyes but is unable to actually do so because he thinks he may be paralyzed on one side of his face now.

"You have to tell her," Mark says, sounding to Louis a bit strangely elated for his personality.

"That's all I've been trying to do all night! Harry keeps-" a frog croaks in Louis' throat now, shutting him up.

Mark's eyebrows huddle together. "Wrap it up before we leave." - Oh, there he is, Louis thinks, finally catching the annoyance in his father's tone- "Once you're in Australia, you start fresh. We'll work something out, Louis." he tells his son, sounding more like he was trying to convince himself.

Louis knows his dad wants what's best for him, but he just can't see past Harry. He knew he should have told him then that he wasn't going with him but all he could think about was what could have caused Harry to flip like that. If he was that determined not to tell people about them then why should Louis stay?

On his way back to his room, Harry runs into Zayn and Liam in the living-room.

"Harry, we're sorry you had to see us like that! It won't happen again, we swear!" the boys say in unison.

Harry's eyes almost pop out. "That was you!" he shouts at Zayn who nods.

His breath shortens and he is sweating now. I just slapped my boyfriend for nothing! He is mad at himself but decides to take it out on the couple before him. It is their fault after all.

"How dare you disrespect my mother's house like that!?" he thunders. "She invited you to her party! The party's OUTSIDE!!"

Liam shields Zayn from Harry's flaying hand.
