I'm not weak - Larry

Chapter 8

Louis POV

'Louis, there is a letter for you.' My mum tells me as soon as I come home from Liam.

With a groan I walk to the kitchen, where indeed is a letter with in big letters 'Louis' is written on. The handwriting isn't one I don't know. No, sadly I know exactly who wrote this.

'When did this came?' I ask my mum.

She shrugs 'About 2-3 hours ago, why?'

'Just curious.'

With that I walk away to my room. That's where I open the letter.

Louis,

Meeting this evening for dinner, 6PM. Be. There.

From my dad. I knew it. I put the letter away with a sigh and start looking for my watch, The only way we know what time it is, since all digital clocks and computers stopped working in the year 2000.

Every electronic thing, except for batteries. Well.. what was left of made batteries. They didn't make any new batteries because that went all by computer and no one knew how you could make them again. That's how dependent we were about the electronica.

It wasn't like people didn't warn the leading people at that moment, but they just wouldn't listen because they trusted the electronica; Nothing could go wrong.

O how I wish that statement was true. Than I wouldn't be the next leader but would I just be another teenage boy. No Alpha/Beta/Omega, everybody equal that's all I want.

But that is too much to ask.

I finally found my stupid watch and look at the time

17.45. SHIT!

I sprint down the stairs and put on some shoes in record time 'Mum, I don't eat with you all, I have somewhere to go, sorry' I say hurriedly before I close the door behind me.

It's like ten minutes walking to my dads house but at this time, going unnoticed into the house is a miracle.

Since when am I even invited for dinner? He always eats with the most important people of the city, why would he want me there? Than my eyes widen in realization: what if he wants to tell everyone that I am going to be the next leader? Please, let that not be it.

Lucky seems to be on my side about one thing, the street where my dads house is, is almost empty. I walk as casual as possible to the big gate in front of the house and open and close it in less than 30 seconds. I walk towards the big house and knock twice on the door. The only reason why I could open the gate was because I had the key, got it from my father once.

'Louis, your in time, good.' Father says with a serious look on his face. Since when does he open the door? 'Come in.'

I do as said and walk in. My father closes the door behind me and motions for me to follow. I walk behind him and we come in a, for me surprisingly, empty dining room.

There's one maid who immediately walks in as we sit down with some food. And with some you could say too much for two people. 'It's not all for us, I get some other visits later tonight.' My dad says 'But you can eat first.'

I get a bit of the food on my plate and start eating.

While I'm eating my dad speaks up 'It's exactly 7 weeks until your 20 Louis, have you find another mate yet?'

I stop chewing, not sure what to say. If I say yes, my dad definitely wants to meet my mate. If I say no, I will be forced to mate Eleanor. There's probably nothing wrong with her, I just don't want to mate someone I don't know.

That's why I look him in the eyes and say 'Yes, I have found another mate.' I'm getting in trouble I know it.

My dad looks surprised, well I'm myself very surprised, as soon as I said that to my dad a picture of Harry came into my head. Liam also said that it sounded like I found a mate when I described what I felt when I was with Harry. Only I didn't tell him it was Harry I was talking about.

'Well that's a surprise! When can I meet her?'

I should have known that question was about to come. Come on Louis, think of something. 'You can meet my mate next week, but until than I would like to spent some time with my mate, so I hope we can have our next meeting in exactly a week? I will bring my mate than.' That would give me a week time to think of something.

My dad nods approvingly 'Okay, In a week, same time as today.'

I nod and finish my plate of food. 'Well, I would like to leave now, I need to go somewhere else, If you don't mind of course.'

My father says it's alright and I walk out of the house as soon as possible. I look around the street before I open en close the gate and lock it behind me. I let out a sign of half relief. Relief because I'm out of there but not completely cause now I have a week to find a mate.

And while I indeed have someone in mind, My dad is homophobic.

Just to make it a little easier.

Niall and Liam need to hide what they have together when there are formal people near. When they're under the normal population - which isn't much bigger than 500 - they do hold hands. Most people know that they're mated and accept it. Everyone, except my dad.

So how will I ever found a mate that my dad approve as I am gay and he hates every gay person?

Wait, since when did I came to the conclusion I was gay?

Since you started to fall for Harry Styles.

The worst thing is that I got to agree with the voice in my head, I'm falling madly In love with Harry.
