I walked in the coffee shop, my two friends behind me. I started looking around trying to find Louis. "Do you think were allowed to sit with the rest of the football team?" Marcel asked from behind me. I shook my head and finally spotted Louis near the back, past the team. I started walking towards him, the two boys following.
We walked past the team, earning confused gazes when they saw me ignore them. "Were sitting with him?" Edward asked when he noticed where I was heading. "Hes not so bad. You just have to get to know him better." I shrugged. I sat beside Louis when we arrived while Marcel and Edward sat across from us.
"Hey Louis." I greeted him. His head snapped up in my direction and he smiled. "Hi. Wow I didn't think you would actually sit with me." I rolled my eyes at him. "I'm a men of my word." Louis nodded and turned to look at the two brothers. He moved in his seat a little uncomfortable and cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry about yesterday. It was wrong of me." Louis smiled at them a little, trying to look friendly. "I shouldn't judge you off your brother." Edward huffed at his statement and crossed his arms. "What do you have against Harry anyways?" He asked Louis.
Louis swallowed even if he didn't have anything in his mouth and looked at me. "Personal reasons." He answered. The two simply nodded and got up to go get some food. Louis pushed a sandwich in front of me and went back to eating his own. "You didn't have to." I told him and took a bite of the food. Louis shrugged. "It's nothing really."
"I think Edward and Marcel will soon warm up to you." I told him and he nodded. We stayed silent until the two brothers came back and sat across from us with their food. We started chatting and I was glad that they all got along. Louis needed new friends.
"Remember when I said I would show you the real me?" Louis asked in the middle of a conversation. Marcel looked confused and Edward seemed to not really care. I nodded. "Tonight i'm going to show you the truth behind all these rumours about me." I nodded again. I couldn't help but being curious about the truth in those rumours and i couldn't wait to know it.
----------------------------------
"I'll be right there!" I yelled at whoever was knocking on my door. I had been lying in bed naked since class ended which is was about an hour ago.
I quickly put on a random jersey and sweat pants before walking over to the door. I opened the door and was suprised when I saw who had been knocking.
"What are you doing here Harry?" I asked the boy who stood in front of me. He looked up at me, hands in his pockets and he wore a small frown. He looked so cute and innocente, I had to hold myself not to jump on him.
"I'm so sorry Niall. I didn't know he was your friend. I will try harder if thats what it takes to have you back." His eyes were red and puffy. It was obvious that he was holding in more tears. But as much as I wanted to cuddle him and make him feel better, I shook my head.
"You don't get it Harry. Your not the guy I fell in love with anymore." My heart broke when I saw the tears rolling down his cheeks and he let out a small sob. He closed his eyes and shook his head. He opened his eys once again and he brought his arms to my waist but I pushed him away.
"I'm ready to do anything." He whispered. I let out a sigh and backed away a little, ready to close the door. "Then show me the boy I fell in love with." And I closed the door, not being able to watch him as he broke down because of me. He knocked on the door again, begging for me to take him back. I slid down the door, tears leaving my own eyes.
He left after a while, giving up. I slowly got up and made my way to my dresser. Louis wasgoing to show me the truth. I wasn't going to miss it just because of Harry.
I kept my jersey on but put some black skinny jeans on. I had bearly finished getting dressed that another knock was heard on my door. I knew it was Louis since he knocked harder then most people, always wanting people to know he was there. I looked at my hair in the mirror beside the door to make sure it still looked good and opened the door once I was satisfied.
Louis stood there with a slight smile and looked me up and down, licking his lips. He wore skinny jeans with a 'the who' long sleeved shirt that covered his tattoos. I smiled, glad that he would help get my mind off Harry for the night.
"Ready?" He asked and I nodded. I locked my door and we walked out to his car. He opened the door for me, making a blush settle on my face. I sat in the car and he did the same. He started up the car and we were gone. Louis kept tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, letting me know that he was nervous.
I put my hand on his knee hoping to calm him down. One of his hand left the steering wheel and grabed mine. He squeezed my hand and bit his lip as he looked at the road ahead of him. I looked out the window and noticed that we were driving in the poorer side of town. It wasnt a place where everything was breaking down or anything, It actually looked like any other place. The houses were just cheaper and someone was always getting killed.
It was my turn to squeezed his hand when we stopped in front of a small white house. He let go of my hand and got out the car as I did the same, making sure to lock the door. Louis walked up to the door, me behind him. We walked in and a women greeted us right away.
"Hello. You must be Niall. Im Jay." She smiled at me and I simply nodded, taking in the look of the house. It looked clean and normal. Not poor.
"Well you two arrived just on time. We were just about to start." She walked to what I guess is the kitchen, mentioning us to follow. My breath got caught in my troath when we entered. Three young girls sat at the table. One of them I knew as Lottie but that was all. I had also noticed a crib near the entrance where two babie were asleep. This women sure did like kids.
Louis and I sat down next to each other. Two girls, twins, sat across from us and just stared at me a little confused by who I was."Are you my brother's boyfriend?" One of them asked, making me choke on air. Jay laughed as she put a bowl of maccaroni and cheese in front of me. I shook my head at the small girl. "But he said he really liked you. Don't you like him too?" The other on asked.
I felt a hand on my knee, making my head snap in Louis' direction. He smiled at his sisters, a bright and beautiful smile. "Niall is a friend." He told them. Lottie let out a laugh, making us all look her way. Her eyes widened just a little and was soon replaced by a small smile on her lips.
"I'm sorry but that's bullshit." She said, making my eyes widen this time. Louis chuckled and their mother gasped. "It's no way to speak Lottie." She told her but Lottie just shrugged. I looked down at my food, feeling my cheeks heat up. We all ate in silence for a moment, no one daring to speak.
"What would you like to be later on Niall?" Jay asked me. The three girls glanced up for a second and went back to eating. "I dream of playing professional football one day." I smiled at her, gaining one back. "What do your parents think about that? Since they are probably paying all your studies." My face fell at the mention of my parents. Louis seemed interested in knowing the answer since he looked up and stared at me. I never spoke to him about my parents and today he would find out why.
"I actually got a scholarship. My parents kicked me out when they found out I liked boys but I think they liked the idea of me doing something manly." Louis squeezed my knee. Jay frowned deeply. "I'm sorry about that Niall. Were here if ever you need anything." I felt my heart warm up as I looked at everyone around the table. These people were a real family and I would do anything to have one.
"It's not your fault. And thank you." She smiled and nodded. "Louis got a scholarship too." She tried to change the subject with a pretty obvious fact. I could see that he didn't have much money and he was really good at football. "I want to play football too. We should practice sometime, just us two." Louis told me with a light smile. I nodded and finished eating at the same time as the others.
We spent the rest of the night watching movies all together in the small living room. Louis had his arm around me while his sisters sat around us. In that moment, I felt like I belonged. Sure I got along with Harry's family but it had been hard with all the mixed feelings. We never all sat down and spent a good time together. I would be suprised if the three brothers ever actually had some bonding time.
Maybe Louis was what I needed.
