Cheshire Chatroom Continuation

18

The school day continued, without my ever being able to pay much attention. I was too confused to do that. Harry looked really shaken when he was gone. I felt guilty for not protecting him, but I couldn't risk Zayn becoming suspicious. Interval rang and I ran to the computer lab to log in. I typed quickly.

Hotpants92: Are you angry?:(

At first he didn't answer, but his silence lasted only a few minutes.

Curlycat94: Yes ... a little: /

I frowned.

Hotpants92: I'm really sorry so much love, please don't be angry, I hate it when you are ...>-< Makes me want to destroy everything.
Curlycat94: Ahah XD I can imagine ...

I giggled slightly, grateful that he was a little happier.
Hotpants92: You're not angry anymore, are you? :) Curlycat94: A little bit yes, but that's okay, I can get over it xx

I sighed, relieved.
Hotpants92: Well :) xx
Curlycat94: It makes me weird talking to you here, I used to talk to ... well I don't know how to explain it. It was like the guy I imagined was my diary, and now I know it's you and it's embarrassing.

I nodded even though he wasn't there to see me. I totally understood what he meant, because when I found out it was Harry, it was more embarrassing for me too.
Hotpants92: I understand, I'm sorry I didn't tell you ...
Curlycat94: Okay, now everything is fine :)

"Niall!" I screamed with a smile, seeing a very familiar blonde sitting at our table in the canteen. He looked up from talking to Zayn and grinned, "Hey Lou!" I went over and sat down next to the tattooed guy, giving him a hug from the side and ruffling his dyed bangs, "It's been a long time eh! Haven't seen you for how long? A week?"

"Yes, it was a long and embarrassing journey, I mean, I didn't know my grandmother that much and that's why the funeral was weird, because everyone was crying." He explained, with a guilty face. I nodded understandingly, "Yes, my aunt's funeral was like that too."

"It was pretty funny to see my family's reaction to the tattoos and the rest," he chuckled as he bitten his apple. Zayn laughed, "God, what did they say?" Niall shrugged, "Nothing, they just glared at me and, I swear, their eyes were on fire." I smiled, I was happy that Niall was back. He was an idiot, sure, but he was also my best friend. He was sweet and funny and laughed at everything. It was really helpful to brighten my day.

"Hey guys."

I turned to see Perrie sit next to Zayn and Eleanor follow her and take a seat next to me. She kissed me softly and said, "Can we talk?" I nodded in confusion, turning to the boys, "Hey friends, see you later. El and I need to talk. " They waved at me, smiling, probably thinking we were just going to make out. Only Perrie looked at me, confused, but I followed the brunette into the corridors. He took me to an empty closet and closed the door behind us. "Louis, am I doing something wrong?" he asked with sad eyes. I shook my head, "No, of course not, why?" "You just look different. You never come to me, and we haven't been out in weeks. Is there anyone else? " he frowned. I sighed, lying, "No, I swear." She smiled and wrapped her angular arms around my neck, kissing me, "Well, are you coming on Saturday?" "I can't," I said immediately. She snorted, "Since there is no one else, then you should be able to come. And don't even try to say you can't because you're grounded. You've already gone out before. "

"Ok, I'll come," I replied then reluctantly. She grinned pressing his glossy lips to mine. I also wrapped my arms around her thin hips, pressing her against the wall. I just hoped Harry wouldn't be mad about Saturday's thing.

"Louis! Come here now!" Perrie yelled as I closed my locker door. I backed away from his stern tone before looking around the corridors. She kept his arms crossed and had an angry look. Honestly, it was pretty scary. "What happened...?" I asked, confused as to why she wanted to talk to me. He rolled his eyes, "Don't even try to ask me 'What's going on?'! I thought you liked Harry ?! "

"I do. In fact, we're actually dating at the moment," I replied with a smile. She frowned, "But ... why did you go with Eleanor, you kissed her ... and she told me you were going to her house this weekend ...?" she looked at me, confused, one eyebrow raised in the attempt to elaborate what she was saying. I shrugged and said, "Yeah, she's kind of a cover thing for Harry and me. I can't go out with him publicly. "

"What?" she gasped, shocked. I pursed my lips slightly, "Um, I think he understands that. He knows it would ruin my reputation and that I can't come out. "

"Louis," she sighed, looking very frustrated, "Do you really think he's okay with that?" I nodded in confusion, "Uh yes. He said so. He is an understanding person. " Perrie gave me a 'are you kidding me?' Look before speaking, trying to calm down, "So, you are with Eleanor, you kiss her, you go out together, make outs etc, but you are actually with Harry. . and this weekend you will go to Eleanor's house ... and is he okay?"

From the way she was explaining the situation, it seemed to me that she didn't like the idea. I didn't understand, what was so wrong with what I was doing? I liked Harry and he knew it, so what did it matter if I was dating Eleanor too? At least we were together and we could go out in private. He should have felt grateful. I nodded, "Yes, why?"

"Do you ever know you were really engaged?" she took me back, stamping his foot on the ground in irritation. I thought, thoughtfully, trying to think if I was or not. I shrugged, "Eh, maybe when I was fifteen ... but no."

"Louis, you can't go out with two people at a time! Does this mean to betray, if perhaps stupid? You should know that!" I frowned, "Hey, I'm just trying to save my reputation. I really can't be seen with someone in the tenth year, who is also a boy by the way! "

"Are you still upset about the question of being gay?" she asked, instantly becoming understanding. I ran my hand through my hair, sighing, "No, it's just... I'm not ready to come out yet. And if I'm not with a girl, everyone will start to suspect something. Harry understands that ... it suits him. And anyway if we came out they would target him even more. " He looked at me for a moment longer, before grabbing his bag from the floor, pulling it over his shoulder, "Okay, keep thinking that way. I'm going now, Zayn is waiting for me. " As soon as she was gone my gaze fell to the floor, why didn't anyone understand me? I was doing it for the two of us ... I was just trying to protect him.
