Chapter ✿ Fifteen

❝SO CLOSE BUT SO FAR❞

"You got everything you need?" Harry questions Louis from the drivers seat, as they're parked outside of the school.

Louis gives him a small nod and a kind smile. "Thank you for driving me... But you really didn't have to."

"I wanted to, okay? And I also want to pick you up! So meet me out here!" Harry says, a little too excitedly. It reminds Louis of a puppy.

"Okay," the smaller boy chuckles, fiddling with his backpacks zipper. "Well you have a good day..."

"You too," Harry winks. "And if there is any trouble, text me. I'm only a few minutes away..."

Louis blushes. "There won't be any trouble. It was probably just a one time thing, plus Niall has told me I'm not to go anywhere without him."

"Good!" Harry sighs in relief. "Bells about to go..."

Louis shrugs, screwing up his nose. "Harry?"

Harry lolls his head to the side, grinning at Louis. "Yes?"

"You went to uni to study nursing, no?" Louis asks, only slightly recalling Harry talking about it that dreaded day he left.

"Mhm," Harry gives Louis a short nod and a weary glance.

"So why aren't you trying to get a job?"

"I've got to look after you, silly!" Harry chuckles nervously, but sighs in defeat at Louis' unvonvinced expression. "Some stuff went on. I dropped out."

"Oh... College seems hard anyway. Is it?"

"For me it was," Harry frowns. "But for Lottie it was a breeze apparently."

"Will you tell me why you dropped out?" Louis pushes more, desperate to find out.

Harry stares ahead and shakes his head. "Maybe when you're older, okay?"

Louis nods, a little stung by the fact Harry still seems to treat him like that child he he was.

"I know more about stuff than you think," Louis confesses nervously.

"Like what?"

"Sex."

Harry's cheeks puff out as he tries to hold a laugh, but that doesn't last long. He bursts out laughing, eyes glistening and dimples deepening. "I kind of figured that. You and the blonde the other night... How old was he?"

Louis swallows thickly. "Was that the bell?"

Harry raises an eyebrow. "Louis..."

"Thirty two..." Louis mumbles, looking away from Harry embarrassed.

"What?!" Harry gasps. "Louis! That's older than me!"

Louis purses his lips. "Please don't tell mum."

"Oh god," Harry leans his head against the steering wheel. "How did you find a thirty two year old?"

And luckily this time, Louis is actually saved by the bell. "Got to go! Bye, Haz!"

Hi babys! How are you all?
I'm sooo sorry I'm being so slack with this book. I'm losing inspiration and have no ideas really... (Besides from the obvious strip club part) so if you have any, feel free to send themthrough, I'm desperate. I wrote this chapter in one sitting, really quickly, so I'm sorry if its not great!
Question: what's the reason Harry dropped out?
Have a lovely day/night, lovelies!  xo
