Closeted {Larry Stylinson AU}

Zayn's POV

Buying suits are hard. I already have fifty-million of them, but I don't know what to get for weddings. Perrie already picked out her dress, but I still can't see it. It's "bad luck" or something. I'm actually in a store specifically for weddings, but most of the suits in here look identical to the ones I have. I knew I should have brought Liam along to help, he's great at this stuff. I would call him if I had my phone...

I don't even know how long I've been here, diciding on what to wear for our upcoming wedding. Choosing things are hard. Everything is hard. Why are weddings so difficult? I'm not even sure if I want to marry her yet. I love her, but I still don't know if she loves me...

Speaking of love, I wonder how Larry is doing. Staying away from each other for so long must be crazy, them still living with homophobe parents and all. I couldn't stay away from Perrie for a month, let alone 5. Who could have thought they were gay? No one knew until they told us, and I for sure didn't have any idea. I actually thought they were both asexual... Whenever we talked about relationships with other people, they pushed away both genders. But I was wrong.

Actually, if I assumed anyone of my friends to be gay, it'd have to be Liam. What can I say? He's so fabulous! Plus, before Emma I thought he actually was gay. I was waiting for him to come out, and tell us. But instead, Louis and Harry did. Very shocking surprise.

"EXCUSE ME, SHOPPERS... THE STORE WILL BE CLOSING IN FIVE MINUTES... THE DOORS WILL BE LOCKED, SO HURRY DOWN TO THE EXPRESS LINE!"

Shit, I should hurry up. There's just a plain tuxedo, which I don't have... But I'm only wearing this once in my entire life, and it's the most expensive. What, is it made of gold or something? I came to Joseph A. Bank with 100$ and that's all I have. Everything else is pretty much all that's in my closet back home... Wait... What's that?

At the corner of my eye, I see an ombre gray to black Tuxedo, solid black collar, and solid black sleeves. The pants that went with it were plain and black, and the whole thing was just 90 freaking dollars. Just my style! I'll still have just enough money left to buy Perrie some Chinese food... I got this.

I start running up to the express line, excited, worried, and anxious at the same time. I'm ready to buy the suit all pumped up, when there is still a guy buying a suit in front of me. No big deal, I'll just kindly wait for the man to pay for his all white and glittery suit. I stand corrected, this man is way more Fab than Liam.

As the man clears the way and exits the store, I walk up to the cashier.

"What do you think you're doing?" Says the man with short lavender hair, a button up shirt and brown skinny jeans at the cash register with the most annoying American white girl voice that's possible.

"Buying a suit..."

"No you're not." What the hell is happening right now?

"Yes I am... Here's the suit, and here's the money... Now I'm going to give you the money, and then leave with my new suit." The man starts closing the cash register and is gathering his things.

"No you're not... Do you think I'm a fucking idiot or something? The store is closed and I'm locking up." Why is this happening right now?

"Can't you just sell me one last suit? It's only one and you can leave right afterwar-"

"Listen bitch, I have sold over 230 suits today. Yes, one suit will literally kill me. You could even fuck me in my sore ass and I still wouldn't sell you the suit." He started walking towards the exit and turned off the lights. "Are you leaving or not?"

"But I need this suit... I'm getting married in a couple months, and it might be gone. Can you please just sell the suit to me? Please?" The feminine man with lavender hair rolled his eyes and closed the exit door.

What an arsehole... I leave my 90 dollars on the counter of the cash register and walk towards the door. I try opening the door but, it's locked. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck fuck! FUCK! Are you fucking serious? Now I can't get to Perries house...

I walk over to a wall and lean my back against it. I start sliding down and just sit there... Listening, waiting, smelling, for anything to get me out of here. And also trying to actually see, but to do that I need to find the light... That will be a challenge in this huge arse store.

Lex's POV

"What if I just tell your mum she should hide it since it's just out in the open?" I have given Harry every trick I could think of to quit sniffing and he has said no to every single one. This is so hard, and Louis is coming back tomorrow. I don't want to give up hope for Harry, but I have pretty much.

"Lex... How about I just tell him? It's to much work and I couldn't even quit in 4 months. I can't do it in a day..."

For the first time in ever, I agree with him giving up. It's impossible. I'm not a professional and I won't ever be one. Even help from Niall didn't work... He was just as confuzzled as I was. I failed... This is poo.

I nod and he gets up from his bed. I feel like I failed and it's all my fault. I could have helped him more! It's my fault just like every problem I'm involved in. Why do I mess up everything I touch?

No Alexa Stylarcher III... This is not your fault. It's his. You tried to help, that's all that matters. It'll be fine... Everything will be fine.

Harry comes back into the room and his eyes are red and his face was covered in tears.

"What's wrong?" He opens up his mouth but I can barely hear what he says...

"I can't tell him... He'll hate me." I walk up to him and give him one of my loving hugs. "He won't hate you styles... I'm not gonna lie. He might be mad... But he will still love you!"

He shakes his head and walks to his bed. I sit next to him as he sobs onto his knees. I truly feel bad for him... His curls aren't even curls anymore, he's as pale as snow, and he's crying his eye balls out.

"Thanks Lex, for all you've done..." I jump because I wasn't expecting him to talk. "...You can go home now if you want. I'm just going to stay here and wait for my mum to come home from church."

"Bye Hazz."

"See ya."

I walk out of Harry's room, walk down the stairs, and finally reach the front door. I lock it and then leave.

Just then, My phone starts to ring. Caller I'd says: Dad. I wonder if he wants me to come home... I answer the phone.

"Ello?"

"Listen Bitch... You better bring your little skinny ass back home right now, and I don't see you in the next 10 minutes you're gonna be sorry."

Dang it... Thankfully he hung up. I should go home, who knows what he'll do?

Zayn's POV

Im still waiting for something... Anything. I can't stay here for 10 hours, I'll go insane! I've been looking for the light switch for I don't know... An hour? Can't tell time without a phone. Couldn't see without a phone. Can't do anything the one time I need my phone. I stare into the blackness of nothing and the suits turn into monsters... Judging me. Getting closer. and closer. This is fucking torture...

The exit door swings open and I almost have a heart attack. The lights finally turn on... How long have I been stuck in here? Is it opening time already? I see a girl with black and light brown hair up in a ponytail with the stores uniform on. A black shirt and pants that reads Joseph A. Bank. Her eyes were dark blue, to the point were you could barely notice it.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" She sounded like she was from France... She face was angry and scared at the same time.

"I'm calling the cops on you thief!" I shake my head happy that I'm not alone in a huge... Dark... Scary store anymore.

"I wasn't stealing. Some arsehole locked me in when the store closed. Her expression softened and she saw the money left on the counter.

"Oh... I'm so sorry. That's Tyler, he does that sometimes when closing time. He hates his job but can't quit... Other then his male stripping job he can't pay for his rent. A reason I'm here is because I never know when it's going to happen. It usually never does, so I though you were stealing" He's a stripper?!? Ha!

"It's okay. I'm just happy I can leave now."

"Wait! Let me check out you suit... it will only take second." I walk over to the cash register and she sells me the suit taking only forty dollars from mi ninety.

"I'll pay for rest since you were here almost two hours..." She speaks bad English, so I'm assuming she use to live there.

"Thank you. Do you want me to walk you to your car? I wouldn't want you to get hurt."

"Of course..."

We exit the store and I start walking to her car.

"Do you work here every day?"

"Not Sundays, but other than that yes."

"You're really nice... Can I meet you again sometime?"

"Aren't you getting Married? You bought suit."

"I am... But you're very friendly."

"Well you can come back here... Unless I get fired. But it might not happen." She giggles as we reach her car.

"Bye... Um... I never got your name."

"Je m'appelle Meredith. What's your name?"

"I'm Zayn... Bye Meredith!"

"Goodbye Zayn." I start walking off to my car, excited that I have a new friend! Finally, I've had these friends for years... Not that I'm tired of them.

Lex's POV

Im walking up to my house seeing what my father has done this time. I open the door to see Niall in a choke hold with my dad holding a gun to his head. What the heck!?

"What's wrong with you?!?"

"What's wrong with me? Lex, I thought Niall killed you! I though he kidnapped you and I'd never see you again!"

"Daddy, put the gun down..." Niall's eyes were full of panic, and he was about to cry. "Daddy please!"

"Little bitch! I don't have to put it down... I can end this feud of if you should run away, or stay with me."

"No..." I felt like I was gonna vomit. How could my mum and sister just sit here and watch this happen?!

"Last words you fucking faggot?!" my dad lets go of the choke hold but quickly grab his shoulder. "Lexi... I love you okay? I'm sorry I can't save you from this arse and you're gonna be okay..." My dad puts his finger on the trigger and I run. I run to him with full speed and push the gun out of Niall's direction.

Then all I hear is a gunshot...
