Upsets and Downfalls Larry AU

Chapter 3

"He will love you!"

"Wait, what?" I say in shock as I stare nervously. One because I didnt say if i was trying to impress a person, and two his hand is still resting on my elbow. I also never said I was gay, so he shouldnt know, unless I am that obvious.

Before Zayn can say anything about his slip up I hear the bell go off signaling a new customer. We both turn our head sharply towards the two new people standing in front of us.

"Whats....whats going on here?" Niall smiles cheekily between me and Zayn.

I take a large step back away from Zayn and straighten my outfit a bit, even though there is no need to. I just get nervous, I guess. "Nothing."

Liam looks at me and then Zayn. His jaw clenches and he crosses his arms. Niall goes to shake Zayns hand but Liams takes it in his hand and pulls Niall back.

"What the hell. Li?" Niall glares at him and slaps his shoulder.  "Why are you being so damn rude?"

Liam doesnt say a word. Zayn looks down awkwardly and then to me. I dont know what to do exactly so I just go back to the dressing room to change back in to my own clothes. As I pull off the lovely fedora I hear Niall mumbling stuff and then a scared Zayn saying "Sorry,"

I try to ignore their converstaion as I finish changing. I take the clothes that I tried on and put them back on the hangers and put the outfits on one arm. As I open the curtain I see Liams back and him pushing Niall outside. Before Liam walks out he turns quickly and glares at zayn. As he is killing Zayn with his eyes he speaks. "Harry. Get out to the car. Now!"

Liams voice is so low and gravely that I just want to skip out on paying and go see whats wrong. But, I do need ot buy these clothes for tonight. As I go to pay I notice Zayns face is the same as Liams. His cheeks are puffing gently in and out and are as red as can be. His eyes are darker than they were a few moments ago and his jaw is clenched. I place the clothes on the counter and I take that as the wrong thing to do.

"Keep the damn clothes in your hands. Liam payed already. Just get out." I widen my eyes and slowly grab a small sack from the side to place the clothes in. As I do so, I feel tears brim my eyes. What did I do? Did I say something wrong?

I wipe a tear off of my cheek and pick up the bag of clothes and go to the door. As I open the door I feel a hand on my shoulder. I dont turn around but just stay still. My heart starts to pound in fear and my head keeps telling me to just walk away. But me being me, I want to give him a chance to explain.

"I'm sorry." I look out of the door and see Liam staring right at me and i dont reply to Zayn. I just walk out of the store and to where Niall is crying against the car.

"Whats going on? What happened back there, Li?" I asked pointing towards the store while trying to comfort Niall.

Niall turns and burries his head into my shoulder as Liam glares at me. "Zayn. Just, watch out. Hes not good news okay?"

 I just roll my eyes and pull Nialls head away so I can look him.  "Wanna go back to my place and get ready for the concert?"

"Concert?" Liam taps my shoulder and I look up to see a confused look. "Whose? Why didnt I know about it?"

Suddenly there is a jab in my side from Niall. I make a umph sound and clench my stomach a bit. "Thanks for ruining the surprise. Liam, I was going to ask you on a date tonight and go to Louis' concert. But, this idiot ruined it all." Niall wipes his cheek of the remaining tears and cracks a smile.

"Well, what are we waiting for? I wouldnt miss another one of Harrys attempts to get Lou to notice him." Liam chuckles and I turn abruptly flipping them off. I begin to walk back home as I listen to the fading sounds of Niall, and Liams laughs.
