Purple Highlighter! (; A Lirry Fanfic :D

5 - The Blue Notes and Louis' House.

I woke up on the couch that next morning. I looked at the clock and saw it was in the middle of second period.

" Fuck! " I yelled knowing mum was gone. I scrambled up and took off to my room tripping in the process. I didn't have time to take a shower like I wanted to. I threw on a pair of new clothes and grabbed my phone and bag before running outside and to school.

By the time I got there, I was out of breath completely. I stopped for a minute to catch my breath before walking into the office.

" Late again Liam? " Jessica asked me as I started to write my name down in the late thingy.

" Yeah. Sorry. I had a confusing night last night and crashed on the couch. " I told her. She just laughed.

" Alright Liam. Just go to class okay? " I nodded and went to my locker and opened it quickly putting my stuff inside. Just as I was about to close it my eye caught something blue.

I looked at it and took it off my locker and decided to just read it when I got into class. I walked in and everyone was staring at me as I gave the teacher my late paper thing. I looked around and saw there was only one open seat and it was next to Harry.

Figures.

I slowly walked over to the desk and sat down. I put the note in my lap and tried to read it without letting Harry see it.

'You're really cute. You're worth so much more than you think.'

I smiled a bit as I re-read that. I didn't know who wrote it but it was in purple highlighter so I couldn't put a face to the handwriting.

" Mr. Payne. Would you like to join us? " I looked up and everyone was snickering. I heard mumbled from the people behind me.

" Loser. "

" He's so stupid. "

I felt a lump in my throat. Why did I even come to school today? I saw Harry clench his pencil harder and look down.

I stood up and grabbed my bag before walking to the door to walk out. " No I won't. Not when I'm being called Loser and stupid. I already know these things. I don't need to be reminded. " I forced a smile and walked out of class only to bump into Zayn Malik on my way to the bathroom.

" I'm so sorry. " He mumbled. I looked up and saw he was looking down.

" No problem. " I told him and he looked up and smiled a bit. I started to go into the bathroom again because I really didn't want to be around anyone but Zayn stopped me.

" Hey, my friend Louis wants to know if you could come hang out with us today? " He asked me and I honestly was very surprised. I barely knew the kid let alone Louis!

" I uh... sure? " I questioned myself honestly.

" Okay, here's his address. Come out around like five or so. " He handed me a piece of paper with an address on it and walked away.

" See ya later Liam! " How the hell did he know my name? I waved back at him and walked into the bathroom. I set the address down and pulled out the small razor I've only used a few times. I took a deep breath a pressed it to my skin and slid it across. I put it away just as someone opened the door and I quickly started to wash it off.

" Liam? " I heard Niall's unmistakable accent ask. I gulped. He didn't know I did this.

" Hi Ni. " I said nervously. I put soap on my hands and it got in the cut making me wince in pain.

" What's wrong? " He asked worried as he approached me. I was getting more and more worried.

" Uh... nothing! " I said quickly as I tried to walk towards the paper towels. He grabbed my arm, right where the cut was and I yelped in pain and he immediately let go.

" L-Li? What did you do? " He asked scared almost it. I stopped and gently wiped the water away from the cut and turned around slowly.

" Niall... " I let my arm drop and I knew the cut was in plain view. He gasped.

" How long? " He asked me. I held my arm out to him so he could somewhat count the scars. " 7 times Liam? " He asked hurt.

" I'm sorry... I didn't do many before. It was the day that you said all that stuff about me that really set me off. I did it about four times that night. " I told him truthfully. I now had eight cuts on my wrist but it was mainly that night that really hurt me the most. He stood their speechless. The bell rang and I heard talking and yelling.

Niall walked up to me and hugged me tighter than ever. " I'm so sorry. Please don't ever do that again... " He whispered.

" I try not too. " I hugged him back and Harry and Louis walked in. I just ignored the jealousy look in Harry's eyes and hugged Niall.

" Hey, you guys wanna skip school?? " Louis asked us. Niall backed away and looked at me. Might as well right? I slightly nodded to Niall who was surprised.

" Sure. " He said giving me a confused look.

" People keep calling me things and if you want me to... well yeah, I have to get away. " He nodded and we walked out. Somehow we walked right out of the school without trouble either.

When we got to Louis' house I guess, I saw Zayn sitting on his steps waiting. He looked up and smiled and walked into the house like it was his own.

Once we got in, Niall took me to the living room to sit down and he sat next to me. Louis, Zayn and Harry were in the kitchen but they came out with a few beers in their hands.

" Want one? " Louis asked me. What the hell?

" Sure. " I said grabbing it and started drinking it. It burnt at first going down but after a minute I got used to it.

" Damn Liam! I've never seen you drink like that. " Niall commented.

" I know but... Never mind. " I said with a slight smile.

I was quite drunk now. It was only five also. Niall had left earlier and so had Zayn so it was only me, Louis and Harry. Louis I think was the only sober one while me and Harry were all kinds of loopy. Louis sat down inbetween me and Harry because we kept messing with each other.

" BooBear! Let me play with his hair! " Harry whined as he tried to grab my hair. I giggled.

" No HazzaBear! You have to go! Your mum called asking for you to come home! " Louis told him. I leaned against Louis and practically stretched on him like a cat would.

" Fineee! But can I please! Just try him out once? " Harry asked referring to me. Normally that would really freak me out but hey, I;m drunk and kind of horny!

" No Harry. Not now. You're mum wants you home. " Louis said as I stretched on him.

" Fine! " Harry stumbled over to me and fell on top of me. I made an unf sound and Louis looked at him with wide eyes. " Liam! I love you! " He announced.

" I love you to Harry! " I announced in my giddy state.

" Yay! Now we can kiss! " He said happily and dived his head down and connected our lips together.

After that, I don't know what happened. You know why? Because everything just went...

Black.
