chapter 13

Harry POV

"We really just did that!", I say to Lou as we walk to music class, we have to write a song today. "Yes we did, I'm proud of you Haz", he smiles.

"I'm prouder of you", I say and I grin widely.

Words can't describe how happy I am and how proud I am of Louis.

We both came out to Zayn and Liam today and they took it really well. They basically gave me a gift card to take someone on a date for my birthday. There is only one person I want to take on a date and he's walking right next to me, Louis Tomlinson. But he'll never like me the way I like him.

We walk into music class and the teacher tells us to start writing a song about anything.

After writing for a while we got a few lines. It's a romantic song and it was quite easy to write it. I'm so in love with Louis, the lines just came from my heart.

My hands, your hands
Tied up like two ships

Drifting, weightless
Waves try to break it
I'd do anything to save it
Why is it so hard to say it?

My heart, your heart
Sit tight like book ends

Pages between us
Written with no end
So many words we're not saying
Don't wanna wait 'til it's gone
You make me strong

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?

"Louis?", I ask nervously. I want to ask him about something but I'm scared of the answer.

"Yeah?", he looks at me, his eyes bright blue. I swallow thickly before asking him.

"Do you have these feelings for someone?". I look away from his eyes and stare at my lap.

I really hope he has those feelings for me but I know that that chance is really small.

He looks at me surprised, "Y-yeah, I do. Why?".

I swear I could feel my heart skip a beat.

"Just wondering. Are you going to tell me who?"

I really want to know, even if he has no feelings for me. "I-I don't know Haz", he whispers.

"Why not? You know you can tell me anything right?", I ask him anxiously, looking at him once again.

"Alright, please don't be mad at me", he whispers. "Why would I be mad?"

I frown and I'm very confused, what is he talking about?

"It's you. I really like you, I do. I'm sorry if I messed up our friendship", he says and I can't quite believe it so I just stare at him for a while.

"Haz? Please say something? I'm getting scared here." He whispers, his voice breaks. I look at him and I see a few tears appearing in his eyes.

"Go on a date with me?", I blurt out and I see the emotions change on his face, causing me to smile.

"W-what?", he stutters, trying to hide the smile on his face.

"I think you heard me", I chuckle.

I look him in the eyes before I speak once again, loudly and crystal clear. "Would you please go on a date with me?"

"Really?", he asks me, smiling widely. I nod frantically, "Yes, I like you a lot, Lou."

"I never thought you would like me, Harry. I was scared I would ruin our friendship with my feeling."

I grab his hand and rub his palm with my thumb. "You had no idea did you? I thought it was obvious, even Lottie noticed."

"What? Lottie? How?"

He looks very confused so I tell him about that night he told me he got raped and how I bumped into Lottie that morning. He starts laughing, sincerely and widely. His beautiful sunshine smile appears and I can't help but smile.

"So when is our date, Styles?", Louis asks me at lunch.

Liam and Zayn heads look up from their food immediately.

"WHAT?!", they yell at the same time, looking at us with wide eyes and smiles on their faces.

"Well, it was about time", Liam sighs and Zayn hits him playfully.

"Mr. Styles made me confess my feelings when we were writing a song for music class. I told him I like him and he told me he likes me too and then he asked me on a date".

Louis looks happy and I smile widely. Seeing him happy makes me very happy.

"I think you're cute together", Zayn announces and Liam nods in agreement.

"We aren't even together", I say causing Louis' smile to disappear. Everyone looks at me.

"Yet", I smile and everyone chuckle. Louis starts blushing and it's really fricking adorable.

"But to answer your question, Mr. Tomlinson", I tease.

"What about this Friday? I'll pick you up at 6pm". He smiles widely, "sounds perfect".

That was the best birthday ever. I got to celebrate with two great friends and my best friend also known as my crush. Maybe he'll be my boyfriend soon, I certainly hope so.

I chose for 'strong' because it's a beautiful song and I think it fits in the story.
