Chapter 14

"I'll just wait out here" Gemma said closing the door. I looked back at Louis and he looked nervous.

"What was that about?"

"That's my older sister. I didn't know she was coming." I said rubbing the bridge of my nose.

"She doesn't know doesn't she?"

"No. But I'll clear it up." I said smiling at him.

He nodded and smiled back, but his eyes didn't really match up with his smile. Like he was unsure.

I kissed his forehead.
"I will be back in a little bit."

I turned around before I closed the door and Louis was turned around and he sighed.

I closed the door and found Gemma in the living room lighting a cigarette.

She took a long drag.
"So?" She started.

"Come to my room. We can talk there."

She followed me to my room and we sat on the bed.

She just stared at me for a moment.

"I knew you weren't straight." She said.

I couldn't tell what she was feeling by the look on her face.

I think she was just waiting for my answer.

"I've known my whole life gem."
She looked at me with a hurt look.

"Why had you never told me love?"

"Because one time you and mum were in line at a shop, and you saw two boys holding hands and you called them fags and mocked them." I said. " I thought you would never accept me, or I thought you would think I was gross."

"Oh love." She said as she put her hand on my shoulder.
"Does mum know?"

"I told her a few moths ago."

There was silence. Nothing.

"Well I love you." She said looking at me "I never meant to make you feel like you couldn't be yourself around me. I'm truly sorry Harry."

I nodded. I wasn't upset with her.

"I love you too Gemma."

She smiled.

"Hey so I came to ask if I could stay tonight? My roommate kicked me out for the night." She said rolling her eyes.

"Uh yeah, but I'm not sure where you will sleep. All the rooms are taken up."

"I could just stay on the couch that's fine."

I nodded

"Well I'm gonna go make sure Louis takes his medicine. And I'll get some sheets and blankets for you."

"Thanks baba."

I walk into Louis' room and he was sitting on the bed playing on his phone.

"Hey Lou." I said and he jumped.

"You scared me" he giggled a little bit.

I smile.
"Sorry"
I paused
"I told her." I said quietly

"Oh. And what did she say?"

"She said she was sorry." I said "I'm not worried."

He nodded unsure.

"She's staying the night so I best bring her some sheets and blankets."

He nodded. "She could stay in here if she wants. I could sleep on the couch."
