Three Crazy Weeks With You ➳ Larry Stylinson ✓

Chapter Twenty-Six

Sighing I pull away from his grasp to look at him with a tired expression,”And how am I supposed to convince them of that?”

He looked down at his hands a bit scared and hesitant to say whatever he was going to say next, but I nudged him saying,”Haz?”

He let out a long shaky breath obviously nervous,”You could tell them the truth?”

I was about to protest but he stopped me by taking my hands and confidently saying,”I know you're scared and I am just as scared as you are, but think about it Lou.  If we came out to them and my parents even we could maybe convince them to let you stay.  You could stay at Shannon’s for the rest of the summer or if my mum lets me even here with me.  Then when school starts you could go to a school close so we could still hang out all the time and-”

I cut him off because as much as that sounds absolutely perfect I couldn’t help but have the more realistic thoughts pop into my head as always,”Hazza, but what if they don’t accept us?  What if they kick you out or what if my mum doesn’t approve of you?  What if I can’t stay?  Or what if-”

“Lou but we have to try right!?”, He said standing up almost pleading with his eyes.

“I don't know, Haz”, I said still uncertain that this is the best idea.

“Don’t you want to try. . for me. . for us?”, He said looking like he might break down right then and there.  his body was slack and his eyes were glassy with tears he obviously was tryign to keep at bay.  

How did I even get in this situation?

Only a few weeks ago I was trying to convince Hannah that her mum would love her and accept her.  That she was hiding for no reason and that she should just come out and tell them about her and Lauren.  I couldn’t understand back then why it was such a big deal, but in this moment I was in the same predicament and even though I know my mum and that she would never kick me out or not accept me I couldn't help but still be incredibly terrified!  I really didn’t know if she would even like me dating Harry because he was a bit younger and because I kept it a secret from her for so long.  What if she was disappointed in me?  What if she took me away from him?  What if-

I was cut out of my thoughts when Harry said softly,”Please lou..” a small tear trickling down his pale cheek.

I cracked at the sight of him just standing there so venerable and I knew he was probably having the same exact thoughts I was having and maybe even more.  After what happened with him and Charley he knew better than I did what the risk was in coming out, but he was willing to try just for me.  Before I even could stop myself from what I was about to say I said,”Okay.”

“What?”, He asked and I know he heard me, but he just needed me to say it again because I don’t think he thought I would agree to it.

I stood up and took both of his hands into my smaller ones interlacing our fingers and placing a small kiss to his forehead.  I then looked straight into his eyes mustering up all the courage and confidence I had to say,”Okay.  We will come out to our parents because you're worth it Hazza and more.  I am sorry I didn’t agree to it right away like I should have.”
