[Louis' car, 1:30 p.m]

Louis: (driving) "So I'm taking you home, right?"

Harry: "Yes, please.." (clears throat) "Unless you wanted to go anywhere."

Louis: "I'm alright.." (pauses) "Unless you wanted to go somewhere.."

Harry: "Like where?"

Louis: "I don't know.."

Harry: (snorts) "Just forget it.. home is fine.."

Louis: "Alright.." (grips steering wheel) "Are we almost there?"

Harry: "Yeah.. it's up here on your right.." (looks out the window)

Louis: "Alright.."

(Louis pulls up, parks the car)

Louis: "Is this it?"

Harry: "Yeah.." (opens car door) "Umm.. you're welcome to come inside, if you want.."

Louis: "Umm.." (smiles) "Actually I could use a glass of water.."

Harry: (smiles back) "I have water.."

Louis: "Awesome.." (turns off car, opens door)

(They walk up to Harry's apartment)

Harry: (unlocks door) "Make yourself at home."

Louis: (walks in) "Thank you.."

(Louis sits down on the couch, Harry brings him a glass of water)

Harry: (sits down beside Louis) "Here you go.."

Louis: "Thank you.." (sips)

Harry: "Thank you for taking me home.. I really appreciate it."

Louis: "No problem, Buddy.."

Harry: (raises eyebrow) "Buddy?"

Louis: (chuckles) "What.. you don't like Buddy?"

Harry: "I can't say it's my favorite but whatever.." (snickers)

(long silence)

Louis: (soft) "Umm.. Harry.."

Harry: "Yes?"

(faces close, lingering silence)

Louis: "I just.." (stuttering) "Umm.."

Harry: (puts his hand on Louis' thigh) "It's ok Louis.. you can say whatever you need to say.."

Louis: "I'm just.. I'm so sorry.."

Harry: "For what, Lou?"

Louis: "For hurting you.." (eyes glazed) "The thought of you crying destroys me.. especially since I'm the one who caused it.."

Harry: "Its ok.. I was stupid to think someone like you would ever like someone like me.."

Louis: "What do you mean?"

Harry: "You're a big shot photographer.. you have everything figured out." (sighs) "And like you said.. I'm just an immature 18 year old.. I have nothing figured out."

Louis: "That's not true.. you're amazing, Harry. You're so smart and talented.. Anybody would be lucky to have someone like you."

Harry: (blushes) "Really.. you think so?"

Louis: "Yes.." (leans in closer) "And your green eyes.. your smile.. your curly hair.." (smiles) "You're umm.. (pauses) "Beautiful.."

Harry: "But I thought you said men couldn't be beautiful.."

Louis: "Well.. I was wrong.." (grabs Harry's hand on his thigh) "You are beautiful, Harry.. I'm sorry if I ever made you feel otherwise."

Harry: (shy) "Thank you Louis.."

Louis: (looks away) "You're welcome.." (puts water down) "Well.. thank you for the water." (stands up) "I should probably be getting back to the office.."

Harry: (stands up) "Yeah.. you probably should.."

(Harry walks Louis over to the front door)

Harry: (opens door) "Thanks again for the ride.."

Louis: "What are you gonna do about your car?"

Harry: "I'll probably have it towed to a mechanics.. get it looked at."

Louis: "Well if you need a way to the office tomorrow.. you can always call me.."

Harry: "Are you sure? I wouldn't want to burden you.."

Louis: (scoffs) "You? A burden? Never.."

Harry: "I'm flattered." (chuckles) "Thanks, Lou.."

Louis: "I'll pick you up tomorrow then.. 12:30 ok?"

Harry: (smiles) "Sounds good.."

(Louis goes in for a long hug)

Harry: (leans his head in Louis' shoulder) "Drive safe, Buddy.."

Louis: (chuckles) "Thanks, Buddy.."

(They let go, Louis leaves)
