Why They Buried Louis

The Confession

"Thank you all for coming! You've been great! We've been One Direction, have a safe drive home!" Harry called out at the end of the lads final concert. The stadium filled with screams, cheers and boos as the lads ran to their tour bus. They were all exhausted, but decided to stay up and have one more chat before parting at the airport. 

"That was an amazing concert!" Niall laughed, laying on the couch in the TV room on the tour bus. 

"One of our best." Liam agreed. 

"The way they sang little things was the best I've ever heard." Zayn nodded. 

"I thought You and I sounded pretty good." Harry agreed, "How about you babe?" 

"I think the fans always sound good." Louis answered, "But I still enjoyed your solos as always."

Harry kissed Louis on the nose. "I know." 

"Will you two go in the closet?" Zayn asked, with a laugh. 

"Never!" Harry chuckled, taking Louis' hand, "We are tired of hiding. Never again." 

"I know." Zayn smiled, "I was just a joke." 

"Lads," Liam interrupted, "I don't want to go home yet." 

"You?" Niall asked, "Mr. "I'm bored and can't leave the hotel so I'm just going to circle the room." You've been begging to go home." 

"I  know I have." Liam sighed, "I'm just not ready to leave you guys, again." 

"We will be back together before you know it." Niall comforted, pushing Liam playfully. 

"Yeah." Liam sighed, "Something is just telling me that going home isn't a good idea." 

"You're just home sick." Harry smiled, "You'll be fine in a few days." 

"I guess so." Liam sighed. 

"Well, he's got a point." Louis added, looking Harry in the eyes. 

"What's that?" Harry asked, staring at Louis. 

"I'm not ready to go back either." Louis spoke softly, "Eleanor doesn't know I'm gay yet." 

"Oh, love." Harry giggled, "The whole world knows." 

"Yeah, but I haven't told her." Louis frowned, "She will be meeting me at the airport." 

"Why didn't you tell her?" Zayn asked. 

"I got caught up with tour..." Louis stuttered, "...a-and Harry. I just forgot." 

"I'm sure things will be okay." Harry comforted, fixing Louis' hair. 

"Should I wait to tell her till we get back to her house?" Louis asked, nervously. 

"Weren't you going to come home with me?" Harry asked, sadly, "I mean we do live together." 

"I planned on it," Louis smiled, hoping to cheer up Harry, "but I just remembered she was going to pick me up." 

"Maybe you can call her and tell her you are coming with me?" Harry suggested. 

"...and tell her what?" Louis asked, "That I'm gay?" 

"If she doesn't know yet, she ought to." Zayn added, "I mean we've all known the whole time. If she didn't figure it out by now, then you should tell her." 

"Here." Harry smiled, handing Louis his phone, "Do it." 

Louis was frozen. "..but how do I--" 

"Just tell her." Niall jumped in, "She should know the truth." 

Louis stared at Harry. "...but..."
