The look in your eyes

Song: put a little love on me by Niall Horan
(A message from Louis and Harry to each other)

"Take these." I urged pushing the two small pills into my younger sisters hands.

She let a small laugh break as she swallowed the pills. "It's just a cold boo bear." She groaned knowing I hated the nick name.

I heard a chuckle from the presence behind me. A small laugh that belonged to no other than Harry Styles. "Yeah, boobear." He smiles putting an arm around my waist.

"Oh shut up!" I huffed quietly trying to pull away. I felt lotties eyes on the pair of us. "We aren't dating so you shut up as well." I added

"Don't be mean lou." Harry said over dramatically. "Now, the important questions. Where did the name boobear come from?" He hummed with a goofy smile on his face as he swayed me in front of him with my back to his chest.

"Well, our aunt jay use to call him that but she passed away a few years ago." She hummed with a hint of sadness. We all missed jay. I shed her a small smile.

I quickly turned around and began pushing Harry. "Okay, shoo shoo. We have to go to lunch." I laughed before calling out to the girl. "Bye Darling!"

As we shuffled down the hallway Harry and I made conversation. It was nice just to talk to him like nothing had happened. The conversation made the nerves in my body about the noise we were approaching calm. However as we got closer to bustling cafeteria the conversation slowed and all the nerves bubbles up again but I faced it, with Harry beside me.

We sat down to see a smiling Liam and a happy Delilah. They all had something in front of them including Harry but I lacked it. I didn't need to get an fatter. I heard a small sigh come from Liam's mouth before he placed a banana in front of me. "Eat." He warmed.

Nobody seemed to notice the interaction between Liam and I. I liked it that way. The conversation went on until a certain blonde arrived. "Hello my favourite people!" He said loudly plonking down beside Delilah. "and Harry." He added coldly before digging into his food. "I also have an offer." He hummed. It seemed suspicious.

We all seemed to share that feeling as we looked at each other. "Oh no this isn't going to go well." Harry sighed rubbing his temples.

Niall through a chip at Harry to show his anger but Harry just caught it and ate it smugly. "Ignoring that. I wanted us to throw a party because it's the last weekend of you guys being seniors but I thought about it and Harry and Louis' legitimately met because they are the most boring people to bring to parties. Liam is sad so he will sad drink. And even though I hate Harry I know he would be the one looking after me when I get shit faced." He explained quickly whilst shoving food down his throat. How could he do that? "So I have concluded. We are having a games night at my place." He added with a grin on his face.

Before any of us could an say much Harry jumped in. "Are you seriously mad at me for not hanging out with you in the weekend? Because if I remember clearly you have ditched me so many times for a girl." Harry said fiercely crossing his arms over his chest. Harry couldn't hurt a fly but seeing him out his foot down was still a tad scary.

"Yes but I've been dating all them." He huffed sassily   "Last I remember you and lou weren't dating. Which truly doesn't make sense." He added and it was like pouring salt in the wound.

Out of nature I just let out a soft. "Because I'm straight." Which sounded like more of a whimper. I kept my head low not wanting to see the disappointment on the others faces.

Niall just let out a loud groan. "When are you going to drop that? You shoved your tongue down Harry's throat at the ice rink the other day." I knew it wasn't meant to upset me but I could feel myself slipping into that place. I wasn't fully with the groups anymore.

That may have explained why I flinched when Liam grabbed my hand. "I know. Please don't hit me." I answered my eyes screwed tightly shut.

Harry's pov
The boy was shaking like a leaf but I knew it would just be better if I left Liam to it. I stood up abruptly and pulled Niall off with me, which lead Delilah to follow. "You can't say shit like that, you dick." I huffed smacking him upside the head.

I saw the pure confusion and sadness in Niall's eyes. "I-I don't know what I did." Niall stuttered out. I could tell he was scared so I decided to leave it for the moment.

"Why did he think we were going to hit him?" Delilah asked sympathetically.

I wish I could have told them. It would've made this whole thing much easier. "I can't tell you." I said weakly trying to hold back tears.

Suddenly I felt two pairs of sad eyes on me. Then I felt Niall's soft hand meet the top of my back. "Haz, is he safe? We can help if you need us to." Niall hummed honestly. The anger I felt for him slipped away because deep down I knew Niall had one of the best souls.

I just nodded as I searched for the right words. "Yeah, Liam's protecting him." I said trying to put on my most convincing voice.

I looked over to see the pair had disappeared. I knew they'd be in the bathroom. "Hey, I'm going to go look for them. See you later." I said happily before running off.
