Highschool Love

Chapter 8

Harry's mom, had immediately grabbed her car keys, and took Harry. She knew her son had a heart of gold and that he would do whatever it took to keep his friends happy. Harry had told Louis to meet him at the door, and as soon as Louis opened the door he collapsed into Harry's arms crying nonsense about he was going to lose Zayn. Harry just stood there hugging Louis until they slowly made their way up to Louis room while Harry's mom worked it out with Louis mom so Harry could stay the night.
"Lou baby, you've got to calm down. You won't help yourself if you stay like this." Harry said soothingly. Louis sobs finally began to subside, but he stayed with his face buried in Harry's tear soaked shirt.
"Let's go to bed yeah? Things will look better in the morning." Harry spoke softly to the small boy in his arms stroking his hand through Louis hair. The two boys went to bed, and cuddled in their sleep.
*The Next Morning*
Harry's alarm went off and he dragged himself out of bed. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and then realized he wasn't in his own house. He looked around and then spotted Louis still curled up in a little ball snuggling a pillow, and he remembered what happened last night. He left Louis to keep sleeping while he headed to the bathroom grabbing his supplies. He took a shower, and wrapped a towel around his waist as he began to dry his curls with another towel. He heard stirring in the room and assumed Louis must be awake. He put the towel he just used to dry his hair, in the hamper. he grabbed a pair of boxers out of his bag and turned his back to the door. He threw the towel he was wearing around his waist into the hamper. The door opens with sleepy Louis, who yelped when he saw Harry. Harry turned around with a stunned look on his face with his boxers half way up his legs. Louis immediately closed the door of the bathroom rushing into his bedroom. Harry got dressed quickly, and then knocked on the bedroom door. He and Louis switched places in the bathroom while Harry packed his book bag. After Louis came out of the bathroom, he grabbed his bag and they headed downstairs.
"Good morning boys." Louis mom called out in a cheerful voice. "Louis, Harry's sister Gemma is going to come and take you to to school. Now sit down and eat something." Louis mom continued getting herself and Louis younger siblings ready for the day. Harry and Louis ate quickly and before they knew it Gemma was there. She drove them to school were they saw Niall and Shane getting off the bus.
"Hey guys!" Niall called as he and Shane jogged over to them.
"Thanks Gem." Harry said as he closed his door.
"Good luck today." Gemma answered through the open window.
The boys began heading towards the entrance not spotting Liam or Zayn yet.
" Not gonna wait for me, I see how it his." Zayn spike behind Louis, scaring the poor lad.
"Hey, that's not nice, and besides I didn't see you so I'm going to take myself into the building." Louis said as he stepped back towards Harry.
"So after we left, and did out homework. My dad took Shane's family out to dinner, and our dads are going to be partners." Niall broke in telling them all about the dinner. After a few classes of the story, Louis was fed up and already in a bad mood from yesterday.
"Hey Niel, can we please talk about something else?" Louis asked.
"Niel?" Niall asked with a question in his voice.
"Yeah it's your new nickname." Louis shot back.
"But my name is Niall, why would you nickname me Niel?"
"Because I want to ok." Louis walked off as Niall sat down trying to process what happened.
"Hey Niall, don't take it to heart. Louis been upset about something and he doesn't know how to handle it. He didn't mean to be like that." Harry came over and talked to Niall.
"What's he upset about?" Zayn asked. "He didn't tell me, and he always tells me."
"Well, the thing is, you are part of what he's upset at." Harry said to Zayn.
"Wait I don't understand." Zayn answered back. Liam, Niall, and Shane all took this as their cue and left Zayn and Harry to talk alone.
" What's he upset about Harry?"
"Look Z, I don't know if he wants me to tell you. I suggest you talk to him, and let him explain it to you. When was the last time you two had a best friend chat?"
"Umm..." Zayn hummed as he tried to figure it out.
"See that's part of the problem. Liam and I talk at least a week if not more."
"Wait, he's mad cause I haven't called him?"
It's more than that Z. You need to talk to him. Preferably sooner than later. He cried more last night than I've ever seen anyone cry."
"Louis cried? It must have been really bad. I'll talk to him tonight. Actually, maybe this afternoon."
The two boys rejoined the group where once again Louis had them all chuckling at his sass with no sign of anything bothering him. The day passed quickly with Louis avoiding Zayn, and mainly spending time with Harry. Zayn found himself jealous that Harry was taking his place. He made up his mind. He was going with Louis today since Liam had some family stuff, and wouldn't be able to go to the library together. He set his jaw, and focused on how to get back in Louis good graces.
