Chapter 3

Louis' POV

It's been 3 days straight of rain. I wake up and find that today it isn't supposed to rain, which is good because that means Harry and I can go to the park after school.

I get up and ponder what to wear. I decide on a pair of pale blue skinnies, a plain black t-shirt, and a pair of black TOMS. I decide to throw on a gray cardigan as well since it's a bit chilly.

After I'm finished getting ready I grab my bag and head to Harry's. The door is, of course, unlocked for me so as usual I just walk in. I see that Harry is already waiting for me in the living room.

"Here," he says holding out a muffin when he notices me walk over.

"Why thank you Hazzy," I say taking the muffin.

He smiles. I love his smile.

"Ready to go?" he asks.

"Not waiting for Gem?" I ask with my mouth full of muffin.

"Nope, she's sick. And don't talk with your mouth full Lewis," he says teasingly.

"Oh hush Harold," I reply.

"We need to get going Boo," he says as I take the last bite of my muffin.

I nod my head in response then grab my bag and follow him out the door.

"Want to go to the park after school?" I ask.

"Yeah, sure," he says.

We get to the bus stop and wait. Finally, the bus pulls up, we get on and sit in our normal seat. When we get to school we part ways. My mind races with thoughts of "Should I tell him?" and "What if he ditches me because of it?". That's all that fills my head through the entire day. By the end of the day, I decided to just go for it. Well sort of, but I have a plan.

The final bell rings and I rush to the bus. Harry come along a few moments later. We chitchat about classes and homework. Finally, we get to our stop and get off the bus. Since we agreed to go to the park, we start walking there instead of home. I make sure to text mum and Anne so they know where we are.

"Swings?" I ask.

"Sure," he says.

We walk over to the swings and sit side by side. We don't talk much because I know Harry likes to just sit and listen to the birds. It's a comfortable silence until I decide to break it.

"I like boys," I blurt.

"Me too," he says quietly.

"Really?" I question. I'm gobsmacked.

He nods.

"Does your mum know?" he asks.

"Mhm, you?" I say.

"Yeah," he replies.

We sit in comfortable silence for a bit longer. This time Harry is the one to break it.

"How'd you figure it out?" he asks.

"Well, I've had a crush on this guy for a few weeks now. Mum was really a big part in helping me figure it out," I explain.

"Who is the guy?" he breathes.

"Tell you what, if I still fancy him by my birthday, I'll tell you. How'd you figure it out?" I say.

"Same situation. And yeah that seems fair," he says.

We stay a bit longer before walking home together.

"Love you Hazzy," I say, pulling him into a hug before leaving him to walk back to my house.

"Love you too Lou," he says, then mumbles something else but I didn't catch what it was.

"What did you say? I couldn't hear you," I say.

"Oh- uh- nothing, nothing. Just talking to myself about homework," he stammers out.

"Oh, okay," I say before ruffling his curls.

I turn around and start toward my house as he walks into his.

When I walk into the house mum is waiting for me on the sofa.

"Well did you tell him?" she asks.

"Kind of? I told him I like boys," I reply.

"Well what did he say?" she asks.

"He asked me how I figured it out and I said I've had a crush on a guy for a few weeks. He asked who it was and I told him that I would tell him on my birthday if I still feel the same," I explain leaving out the fact that he said he likes boys as well. I didn't feel that it was my news to tell.

"Well Boo, it seems you've got this figured out," she says.

"I guess so," I chuckle.

I head off to my room knowing that I'm going to have to tell him on my birthday because it doesn't seem like my feelings for him will be changing any time soon
