Chapter 7
On the inside I was happy, happy that he was like me. We shared the same fate. On the outside, I made myself look shocked. I forced myself to look shocked. He looked scared, I wanted to pull him into my arms and tell him that I was gay too, I wanted to hug him and hold him tight and never let him go. Unfortunately I couldn't feel my body, the shock made my body numb. "Please say something, please. Don't just look at me like that." he said, covering his face with his hands, crying softly into them.
I sat there in confused silence, thinking over my next move. He finally stops crying, looking up at me through bloodshot and watery eyes, without thinking I lean over and plant a kiss on his soft lips. He gasps in shock, but immediately recovers and kisses me back. He pulls away and the kiss over too soon. He looks at me, a small smile playing on his lips. I look away because I still don't know what to say.
"Are you.. Ya know?" he asks, I nod, embarrasment taking over. "Why didn't you just tell me?" he asks.
I shrug, "I don't know, I was scared of the way you would react so I kept it to myself." he nodded in agreement.
"I didn't want you to think of me any differently. I've had a crush ever since the day you defended me when Zayn called me a faggot." he smiles, reminiscing on the day he beat Zayn Malik's ass.
"He had it coming," he says, ever since then Zayn has never crossed our path. We sit in more silence, it's welcoming and in no way uncomfortable. "What now?" he asks. I stare into his mesmerizing green eyes.
"I want nothing more than to be together Haz," I say, afraid of what he might say. The worst he could say is no right? Harry looks thoughtful. I can actually see the wheels in his head turning.
"How could we make this work?" he asked, never breaking eye contact.
"Your always welcome over and we don't have to tell anyone." I say, holding my breathe. After a few seconds, he nods.
"Okay," he says with a smile.
For the rest of that day, I floated all around my house. Mum wanted to know what had gotten into me, how did I get better so fast. I didn't answer. I was in too much of a daze to answer her. Harry Styles was my boyfriend and I thought everything would be alright. But in all honesty, it wasn't.
