The Bet

Part 11

•Louis' POV•
As soon as I left Harry's room and went into Gemma's, I saw who has been blowing up my phone, it was Zayn, probably wondering how the bet was going even though it should've ended a week ago, me and Harry already finished the project before he got in the hospital, school has been out for two weeks, and I've been avoiding Zayn ever since. When I finally answered him he asked how the bet was going, as I predicted, I told him that I didn't want to do it anymore, that I would buy him that drum set he wanted, he told me I was going soft, and he was right, I couldn't keep lying to Zayn and the feelings I have for Harry are real, I just can't keep doing this. He kept trying to talk me back into the bet but I told him no, and of course he got mad and hung up, but I didn't care. As soon as I got done I went back into Harry's room, he was sat up on his bed looking through his phone, I rushed over to him and grabbed it out of his hands.
"Harry! you can't look at screens for at least a week!"
"Louuuu" he groaned, he's never called me Lou before, there went the butterflies, I started blushing and smiled at him.
"What?" he looked at me smiling
"You've never called me Lou before, I like it" I smiled at him
"Well I'm upset with you!" he said with a cute grumpy look on his face
"And why's that?"
"You took away my phone"
"Harry, if you still have a concussion you can't be on any screens for a week!"
"But I'm so boreddd" he growled and laid back on his pillow crossing his arms.
"There's more to life than a silly phone angel"
I sat next to him and he cuddled up next to me
"oh! I forgot, it's time for your medicine Harry, I'll go get it and some water" he made a grumpy sound. "I just got comfortable!" I laughed at him, "I'll be back soon, no phones!" I kissed him on his forehead and got out of his bed to made my way downstairs, Harry's mum was in the kitchen making her some tea.
"Hey Louis!" she beamed at me
"Hi Anne" I smiled at her making my way to the cupboard that had the glasses in it
"Are you thirsty? I was just making some tea!"
"No, thank you though! I'm just getting some water and Harry's medicine for him" I smiled at her filling his glass with water
"You're really a sweet boy you know that?"
"I try"
"I'm serious, you make Harry so happy, which is why I want you to stay with us full time!"
I was shocked! and excited, living with Harry and his Mum sounded great.
"Really? you mean it?" I asked her putting down Harry's water
"Yes of course! Harry and I love having you here!"
I walked over and hugged her, she always gives the best hugs, I was happy, I didn't really have much of a home where I live, I live alone, It's not important to get into detail on where my family is, so this was perfect. After me and her finished talking I made my way up to Harry, there he was on that bloody phone again.
"Harry, am I going to have to strap your arms and legs to the bed posts?!"
"If you want" he said seductively
I laughed at him and shook my head, "Here, take two of this medicine and wash it down with water, it will make you loopy so don't be afraid okay? I'll be right here" He smiled at me and took the medicine he drank the whole glass of water, he must have been thirsty. After that he said he wanted to lay down so I got beside him and he cuddled on top of me, I played with his beautiful brown curly hair and listened to him as he breathed, he was perfect, everything about him felt like I was in a dream, he sits up really fast, startling me.
"Louis, you're so pretty, like your eyes are super blue and, and you're lips are super soft and your hair is phenomenal" He almost sounded drunk, I look at him and laughed. "Harry, I think the medicine kicked in"
"Louuuu" he groaned "My head hurts" he held his head and began to cry
"Harry? are you okay? please don't cry, come here lay on me" he laid his head on my chest still holding his head with his hands, I felt his tears roll down his face and landed on my shirt, I rubbed his head and told him everything was going to be okay, he calmed down and fell asleep, I was glad, he needed rest, but I was also sad, seeing him cry really hurt me. I felt so bad for him and this whole thing of him being hurt makes me think it was all my fault, I shouldn't have left him at the library by himself, but I did anyways, I began to cry, thinking I caused all of his pain and suffering. I pulled myself together and looked down at Harry, he looked so cute sleeping, I covered us both up and I dozed off.
