♡Harry's POV♡
I have to admit I was terrified when the waiter thought we were dating, I didn't know what to do or say. Louis wasn't upset or mad and that made my face light up, but I couldn't say I actually want to date him. I've been jumpy lately, I haven't been taking my meds when the doctor says I should... but I can be myself without them. Louis would be upset with me if he knew I stopped taking them, so I won't tell him. "Harry look its snowing!" He pointed out the windshield and I could see snow coming down fast and beautifly. He looks so happy, his sunshine smile is so bright that it could melt the snow outside, his eyes are the color of the ocean when the waves hit the shore, his tan skin looks smooth like when butter goes on toast, and his voice..his voice is soft like velvet cake on your birthday. His hair is shiny like sparkles on a rainbow, his hands are small, small enough to hold an egg and they would be full. I love him, I love everything about him. He is perfect.
His phone starts ringing and it has my mums name on it. Why would my mum be calling Lou? "Hi Anne?" He says confused, almost as confused as me. "Oh okay...yeah of course, we will be there soon, we are leaving school now...mhmm...see you soon, I love you too and so does Harry." And he ended the call. I look at him waiting for him to tell me what she said, I felt heart stop and my stomach twist waiting on an answer. "She said there's gonna be a snow storm and we need to get to your house fast before we are stuck on the road in the snow." He seemed scared, I hate when Louis is scared. "Shes at the store now getting groceries and my mum is with her, but my mum wants me to go to your house instead of mine?" He finishes in a confused tone again. Maybe they know we skipped, maybe we are in trouble, who knows.

I pull into my snow covered driveway knowing my car wouldn't move for days, when it snows in Chesire, it snows for days and days with no end until spring. Lou gets pout first and waits for me, it calms me down some. We walk in together to see our mothers crying, what happened...did someone die? "Mum whats the matter?" His voice is shaky and uncertain, my bestfriend is about to cry from being scared and I dont know what to do. Johannah walks toward her son and pulls him into a tight bear hug. I look to the stairs and see luggage sitting in front of my room, im now extremely confused and scared and go to stand by my mum. "Harry dont ask, Jay will tell you guys."
"Hun you're gonna be staying here with Anne and Harry for awhile.. I got another speeding ticket and thats the 5th one I cant pay-" Louis cut off his mother with tears in his eyes. "You're going to jail?" He says, finishing her sentence in his own words. I was shocked, i knew they didn't hang much money but I didn't think she would go to jail. "How long Jay?" I ask her, I'm going to be living with my bestfriend and I was excited. I know i shouldn't because of the reason... but I still get to live with my bestfriend. "Until March maybe? I'm not sure, once I go to court in February ill know for sure love." Johannah was scared, Louis was scared, and I was scared. I knew Louis would be safe in the care of my mum, but the only other person he is close to is Jay, he would miss her im sure of it.
♤Louis' POV♤
Today we have finals before winter break, and in a week its mu birthday. As soon as I woke up, I knew Harry wouldn't be up for another hour, what's the point in waking him up when I could study some more? He looks so peaceful, like a baby. His face is resting and his lips are slightly parted and I can hear is soft snores. His long curly hair was up in a bun, thats my favorite way he wears his hair but he barely wears it that way. A front strand was hanging out and it was so adorable, I couldn't wake him, not right now. His bare chest is showing and I can see that beautiful butterfly tattoo I love so much. His mum was so mad when he got it, but she didn't know he got it because I wanted tk get a tattoo but was scared. We got matching tattoos. The artist drew a butterfly with the words, it is what it is above it and we cut it in half and each got a part. His muscles were poking out and his chisled body is so perfect, but he'd never let anyone but me see his perfection. I get up and open his closet, or should I say our closet. Ive moved in with him and its incredible. Getting to fall asleep with crush right beside you every night is amazing, getting to spend every minute youre not in school with your crush is amazing, just everything about living here is amazing..except the reason why. I miss my mum... and I cant see her until after Harrys birthday.
I pick out a blue sweater and black jeans to wear and finished getting ready before waking Harry up, I missed getting to study because I was staring at him for too long, but I was ready for finals anyways. "Come on Goldie locks wake up" I say, pushing the front piece of his hair behind his right ear. He smiled at me and his tired eyes made me melt. "Morning Boobear" his raspy voice matched his tired body, he rubbed his eyes and pulled me into a long hug. He is so warm and soft, he smells so lovely, I could sit and bask in his glory for days with no end. "Get up sleepy head we have finals this morning. " He groans and rolls onto his back stretching is body. "Boys, no school today there's too much snow" Anne spoke as she sat a basket of laundry on the end of Harrys bed, oh how wonderful, no school. "But.....finals?" He asks, he still isn't awake completely and the poor lad is confused, its adorable. "I guess you'll take your finals the day you get back to school in January" she answered walking down the stairs before leaving for work. I take off my shoes and sweater, leaving me in a white tee and my black jeans. I lay back down beside Harry and grab my phone, no notifications obviously. I turn it off, whats the point in being distracted when I have this beautiful boy in front of me. "Boobearrrrrr" he says pulling me into a hug again. We have always been close like this, we have fake flirted since middle school, held hands, hugged, cuddled, but its never been fake for me. He thinks of me as a twin, and it kills me everyday. "Hazbearrrr" I copy the nickname and hold him and before I know it, he's throwing me into the floor.
"Thats for waking me up when we dont have school" my shoulder is throbbing, Harry is strong but I didnt know he was THAT strong. "How was I supposed to know?" I almost cry, the imagine of my dad throwing me into a wall crosses my mind and my breathing stops. Harry sees the fear in my eyes and picks me up and puts me on the bed, he knows what's running through my head now. "Im sorry oh my God I'm so so sorry, Louis are you okay im so sorry!!" He's screaming while he holds me tight, I'm not scared of him or what he did, im just scared of my father and what HE did. "Im fine Harry I'm not hurt I'm okay." He pulls back and I see the tears in his eyes, i made him cry. I'm a terrible friend.
♡Harry's POV♡
"Im sorry, oh my God im so so sorry, Louis are you okay im so sorry!!" I scream as I hold him. I knew he was thinking of his dad and I didn't think to not be rough with him, I hurt him and I'm the one crying. His soft cheeks are pressed against my chest when I pull away and he sees me crying, his disappointed. "Im fine Harry I'm not hurt I'm okay." His voice cracks at the end, not a bad one, but a cute voice crack. He wipes my tears and smiles at me, how could he forgive me for hurting him. He is basically sitting in my lap and I've realized im still only in my boxers, but he doesnt have a problem with it. He breaks the silence and clears his throat, "Can I go shower?" I knew he was going to need to at some point, but I didn't want him to be. Even more than that I didn't want to be alone right now. I nod my head letting him go and he walks away, I would do anything to be able to get in that shower with him. While he's in the shower, it gives me time to work on his birthday present; I've been working on this song for 5 months because it has to he perfect. I have the music part down, but the lyrics...I can't get the damn lyrics right. How could I write a perfect song for an even more perfect boy. I hear the water shut off and I shove the paper back into a drawer and turn around to see the best sight I've ever seen before.
Louis stands in front of me wearing nothing but a towel around his waist, covering up the one part of him Ive never seen. His nice brown hair is wet and dripping onto his shoulders, its pushed back. His skin is glistening while water runs down him, his abs are showing and so are his biceps, hes so hot...he is so... fucking hot. If I could rip off that towel and shove him onto that bed I would. "Your hair looks so hot" I whisper to myself, hoping he doesn't hear me but he does. "What did you say to me Harold?" He smirks and walks toward me pressing his chest against mine. "I said um.. your hair is still wet." I try to cover up the fact that I'm madly in love with him and the fact he heard me call him hot. "Yeah okay sure Harry" he sends me a playful wink, I know he is joking but the big part of my brain wants me to think its a real wink and he's flirting... but he isn't.

"Zayn I seriously need your guys help, I can not finish writing this myself." Im worried my cousin and his "band" won't help me complete Louis' birthday present. "If you would have joined the band with me and the boys then I would help you with it, but you did not, therefore I'm not helping you. " my Older cousin is rude, and I hate it. He is usually so nice to me and so caring, but ever since me and Louis didn't try out for his band he has been mean to me. "What if me and Louis try out, and we show up this time- I gotta go Zayn he's here" I hang up the phone when Louis comes downstairs to see if I'm done with dinner. "We are trying out for the band?" He seems excited. He always has wanted to be a singer, even more he wanted to be in a boyband. I really can't blame Lou, he is an amazing singer and would be a perfect addition Zayn's crew. I love to sing, the only people that have ever heard me were my bestfriend and Zayn of course, they say I'm amazing but I'm too shy for a band, way too shy. "Um yeah...I know you wanted to so if you try out so will I." His face lights up and he's running around and jumping circles around me, he knows we don't have to try or to make the band, he knows we will be in the band... but im scared to. I'm so scared.

*Monday*
We walk to Zayn's house which is 3 streets away from mine, the car is blocked with snow so walking is our onlu option. Beside me is the cutest most adorable human alive, Louis Tomlinson. He doesn't stop giggling and thanking me for this, but he thinks I'm just doing it to get the boys help to finish the song. I know being stuck in a band of five people with only knowing two is a lot just to finish one song, but this song is for Louis so I would do anything to get it done. We arrive to see Zayn with the two other band mates throwing snow and me and Louis freeze, we both get nervous around new people. My stomach twists and I gulp, looking to him to calm myself. "Itll be okay Harry, we are just singing a song and then leaving. If you get scared just look at me okay? I'll protect you." His voice is like honey, sweet sweet honey.
Louis sings first, it goes perfectly and I cant help but smile the whole time. He finishes strong "Were taking the long way homeee" the whole song was perfect and beautiful. I knew he would sing 5 seconds of summer, its our favorite band. I clap for him as well as the other boys. An Irish boy screams "That was so good youre in youre definitely in!" He has dyed blonde hair, but it suits him. "Niall, calm down Harry still has to sing, we know they are both in but we need to see what he has." Zayn speaks up, he is the leader of course. His tattoos and piercings lead him to be a bad boy, but he is sweet and nice he would never hurt a soul. Louis takes my seat as I stand at the microphone, connecting my phone to the Bluetooth for my song. I look to Louis to calm my nerves again, I have to look at him the whole song or I cant do it, I know I cant.
I start the song " Back in highschool we used to take it slow, red lipstick on and high heel stilettos." I close my eyes and let the music move me, I have to calm down or I won't sound good enough, the only person I'm singing for is Louis, not Zayn. I continue singing when I open my eyes to see him smiling and bobbing his head to the lyrics leaving my lips. "You're just a little bit out my limit. Its been two years now and you haven't even seen the best of me. And in my head now we've been over this a thousand times. Its almost over, lets start over. Youre just a little bit out of limit." He gives me a thumb up and my confidence goes up, my voice gets clearer and louder, all the others are cheering me on and me makes me happy. As the song continues I can see how proud of me Louis is, and thats all I need. I finish, "Its almost over...let's start over."
