Lottie's Brother (larry au)

16

"C'mon it's your boyfriends' party you're like obligated to be there!" Niall whines as they walked into the cafeteria together. He was talking about the big party Daniel was throwing at his house tonight.

Harry wasn't really a party person but Daniel and Niall have been begging him to go to this party.

"Fine, I'll ask my mom but I'm sure she'll say no." Harry said as they sat down at their now usual table. He could see Lottie sitting at the table full of cheerleaders, and the spot next to here where he would be sitting was still empty. Today would be officially four weeks since they last spoke and honestly it hurt his heart.

"I just want to get drunk and kiss a pretty girl, but apparently that's asking for too much." Niall sighs and picks at his food. Harry turns away from looking at Lottie's table to comfort him.

"Hey, any girl would be lucky to kiss you, hell if you don't find a girl to kiss you I'll gladly kiss you." Harry teases him and puckers his lips out for a kiss and Niall groans and pushes him away.

"Gross, that would be like kissing my grandma." Niall replies and Harry laughs and then someone is slipping their arms around his shoulders.

"Hey, Sexy." Daniel whispers into Harry's ear and Harry giggles as Niall rolls his eyes and continues to eat.

"Hi." Harry says as he turns around in his chair to face Daniel. Daniel pecks Harry's lips quickly before talking.

"Don't forget about my party tonight, it's going to start around nine and-." Daniel gets cut off by one of his friends calling him over, "I'll see you later babe, bye."

Harry sighs as Daniel walks away and he's about to turn back around in his chair when his eyes meet the blue ones he desperately misses.

Louis was standing there by the doors of the cafeteria. Harry wonders how long he had been standing there and if he had seen Daniel kiss him. Although, Daniel didn't care about PDA which meant everyone at school knew they were together.

Harry couldn't look away because Louis looked almost sad and Harry didn't know if he was making it up in his head, but Louis didn't appear that happy these days.

Louis quickly broke eye contact as Eleanor walked in and handed him her backpack. Louis smiled weakly at her and carried her pink backpack for her. They walked away hand in hand and Harry finally tore his gaze away and stared at his food.

The rest of the lunch period goes by fast as Niall tells him funny stories that keep Harry entertained.

"So, should I pick you up at ten?" Niall asks as the bell rings signaling the end of lunch.

"Yeah that should be fine but I'll have to ask my mom first." Niall nods and Harry loves Niall for being so understanding because anyone else their age would tease him for having to ask his parents or encourage him to sneak out.

"Hey mom, so like Daniel is having a party at his house tonight around nine, but Niall is picking me up around ten, could I go? I mean it's okay if you say no like I totally understand." Harry rambles during dinner between him and Anne.

"Of course you can, just please be responsible if you decide to drink, and if your driver starts drinking you can call me I don't want anything bad to happen to any of you." Anne says calmly and Harry stares at her in shock.

"Mom, it's okay if I can't go." Harry replies and Anne laughs.

"I'm serious, I know you're getting older I can't keep you away from parties forever. Unless... you don't want to go?" Anne asks with one of her eyebrows raised.
