chapter 23

Harry POV

That night in bed I'm crying. Why can't our mums just accept our relationships? What's wrong with being gay and being in love?

Mum told my dad and stepdad.

My stepdad yelled at me too, "This is not natural! I won't ever approve!"

I started crying and ran to my bedroom, I cried even more and I'm still crying, it's 3am now and the tears keep falling down my cheeks.

I even got a text from my dad.

'I don't approve, I don't even know who you are anymore Harry. You're a stranger to me as long as you "like" boys. You're not normal. You're not my son anymore'

Why can't they accept it? I don't understand. I am crying and crying a lot more. I didn't do anything but love Louis. Our parents should be happy for us.

I really need my boyfriend by my side right now.

"Louis?" I whisper through the phone, silent sobs leaving my mouth. "Y-yes?", he stutters, he's clearly crying too.

"I tried to stay strong for you but I can't. I can't hold it in anymore, I need you", I cry, loud sobs are escaping my mouth now.

"I-I'm coming Hazzy", he mumbles and he hangs up. Less than a minute later he walks in my bedroom.

His hair messy, his eyes red and puffy from crying. Tears still rolling down his cheeks and he's wearing one of my hoodies.

"Come here, Haz", he whispers as he lays down next to me. I turn around so I'm facing him.

I let the tears fall down as my boyfriend takes me in his arms, his short arms around my shoulders and my longer arms around his waist. I'm crying on his shoulder and he's crying on mine.

We're trying to find comfort in each other but it doesn't really help. We're both crying, it doesn't seem to end.

"Why? Why can't they accept it?", I cry out and I pull Louis closer to me.

"Why?", tears are falling down and my head starts pounding, great.

"I just don't understand. Why is it so bad to be gay and in love? There's nothing wrong with that right?"

Louis' sobs keep him from talking so he just shakes his head. Seeing my boyfriend like this hurts my heart.

"I'm sorry Lou, I'm sorry I did all of this to you. I'm sorry", I say I sit up in my bed.

Louis doesn't deserve this, he has gotten hurt more than enough and I don't want him to get hurt even more because of me.

"I don't want you getting hurt because of me, I'm not good for you."

"No, no, no", he manages to say, "You're good for me, so good. You aren't hurting me, our parents are. You're perfect, I love you okay?"

I smile a bit through my tears, "I love you too. Why can't they accept us?"

I'm sobbing again, I feel Louis' arms wrap around me again and I hear he's trying to keep his cries in.

"Hey? Are you guys okay?", I hear a soft voice coming from the door, we sit up and I see it's Gemma. "N-no of course not", I cry and Louis swipes a tear from my cheek.

"I'm sorry", she walks into the bedroom and sits down on the bed. "I guess you could use some comforting."

She wraps her arms around me and my boyfriend and she hugs us tight. "I'm so sorry guys, you do not deserve this. They'll come around eventually."

"It hurts", I cry, "so much", Louis adds.

I pull away from Gemma and take Louis' hand in mine. "We'll get through this", I say and kiss his knuckles. I pull him in yet another tight hug, my tears slowly disappear.

"We're strong together Louis. We can deal with this", he nods and plants a kiss on my cheek before he pulls out of the hug.

"Gosh you guys are so cute, I want a relationship like that", Gemma coos and I can't hide a smile.

"Thank you Gemma, for everything", I pull her in a hug, "Thank you", she ruffles my hair before she pulls away, "Always."

"Thank you so much Gemma", Louis whispers and he pulls her in a hug too, Gemma smiles and he rubs his back.

"Of course brother", Louis pulls away and looks at her with a confused look on his face. "B-brother?", he asks.

"Yeah, you're dating Harry. That basically makes you my brother right?", she smiles at him softly. "Yeah, I guess", he nods and smiles a bit.

"Okay now I'm gonna sleep. It's been 4am, sleep you two!", she walks out of the room, "Good night, Gem".

"Let's sleep, love", I whisper and I pull Louis' body close to mine. He rests his head on my chest and wraps his arms around my waist. My arms are around his shoulder and I plant a kiss on the top of his head before I fall in a deep sleep with my love in my arms.
