Chapter 22

LIAM

            “This is all Louis fault. Harry is easily influenced and Louis made him think he was gay.” I say to Tyler and Syd.

We are at our favorite place to eat. It’s only been a few weeks or so since Harry and Louis were outed to the entire school.

I know the truth. Harry is gay. I’ve always sort of known, but why didn’t he tell Syd and I? Why only Tyler? That’s why I’m mad. He didn’t trust us. As if we weren’t ever his friends.

“Now Liam, you know that isn’t true.” Tyler says to me.

I just don’t want to admit it. I don’t know how to feel.

I don’t want to be his friend anymore, but I need to know if he is okay, neither him nor Louis showed up for school in the past few days.

We all know why. Who would come to school when everyone here is just going to tease you?

“I heard Shawn Mitchell tagged Harry’s house.” Syd says.

“Yeah that’s insane. Harry made this bed, now he has to lie in it.” I add.

I know we are his friends and we should stick by him, but how could we after all of this? We have to think of ourselves and how this would affect us.

“I don’t really care anymore. Eventually this will all die down and those two can live happily ever after.” Tyler laughs.

We all laugh in agreement.

“Yeah, I mean, obviously he chose Louis over us. We should let them be together. Besides, how could we even begin to forgive him after he chose someone he was supposed to hate?” Syd says.

I nod my head. She’s right. Harry knows how much I hate Zayn, why would he even talk to someone who is friends with him? It doesn’t make sense to me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HARRY

            Today is the day I finally get to go home.

I honestly just want to get back to Louis. I need him right now.

I lay in my bed, waiting for my mom and Louis to come check me out of here so I can get home. I feel like I could sleep for ten more years.

The nurse knocks on the door and walks in.

“You mom and brother are here to take you home.” She says, smiling.

I sit up quickly and a smile washes over my face as they slowly walk into the room.

Louis runs over to me and jumps on my bed. He hugs me tight.

“I missed you. I need you. I love you.” He says.

I giggle.

“I love you too.” I respond.

I wave at my mom and she gives me a weak smile.

“How are you feeling darling?” She whispers.

I stand up and walk over to her. I wrap my arms around her and hug her.
