Fire And Ice L.S

Chapter 33

At the cafeteria:

Mike: The nerve of those bastards!
Zayn: I'm gonna kill them once they're back.
Ashton: Wait... shouldn't they be in jail for this!
Louis: (sighs) Yeah... But Harry wouldn't listen.
Harry: (shrugs) It's the last year.
Luke: Well I'm sure they won't be allowed for Renaissance.
Harry: (shrugs)
Niall and Liam enter...
Niall: (sits beside Louis) Hey lads.
Liam: (sits beside Zayn; small) Hi..
Calum: (shakes his head; continues) Well I never thought they'd go this far.
Ashton: I bet it was Jeremy's plan.
Louis & Harry: (nod)
Luke: (places his phone on the table) Good thing we arrived on time to help Louis get you to the hospital.
Mike: (throws an arm around Luke) Yeah... thank God you were at 5sos meeting place... (furrows his eyebrows; confused) How did you guys end up there?
Louis: (looks at Liam)
Harry: Well...
Niall: (chimes in) Apparently Liam told them to go there...
5sos: What?
Liam: (quickly) But it wasn't me. (to Harry and Louis) It wasn't me I promise. I never saw you guys after lunch!
Louis: (furrows his eyebrows) But it was you....
Harry: (in thought; shakes his head) Well physically it was Liam... but they didn't really sound like him at all.
Louis: (thinks) Well I don't really know...
Harry: They said things Liam would never say in a million years and... and they wore a ring!
Liam: (furrows his eyebrows in thought) Then that would mean...
Luke: (continues) Someone else...
Louis: (nodding in realisation) Shifted as Liam!
Mike: Who...
Harry: (shakes his head) Well there's only one shifter in school.
Niall: (wide eyes) Ellie Hedwig!
Liam: (furious) That bitch!!
Zayn: She must be their 5th member!
Niall: And to think Harry defended her once...
Louis: What?
Liam: Because she sucked his dick thrice.
Louis: (to Harry; laughing) What! That creep?
Harry: (guilty) I was drunk...
Liam: (teasing; quoting Harry) But that doesn't make her a bad person Lou-ee.
Niall: (laughs clapping) Good one Liam.
Harry: (notices Niam interaction; smiles) Fuck you...
Zayn: (also laughing) That's what the creep said.
All five laughing...5sos looking at then incredulously.
Luke: We're surrounded by idiots!
Mike: (taps the table to get their attention) Excuse my interruption... (they all look at him) Weren't you guys just discussing who tried to kill you days ago?
Niall: (takes a bite of his granola bar; chewing) We're still talking about the same person!
Luke: (to 5sos) Idiots. I tell you. Idiots!

At Harry's room:

Harry: Who is it?
Louis: (on the phone; whispers) Lottie...
Harry: (sits on the bed next to Louis.)
Louis: (on the phone; puts it on speaker) Hey Lots.
Lottie: How many times do I have to call you you asshole! Are you too busy to pick up the first time?
Louis: (chuckles) I'm at Harry's.
Lottie: Oooohhhh hooooooo.
Louis: (face palms) Shut up Lottie.
Harry: (chuckles).
Lottie: Is that him? (Shouts) Hey Harry!
Harry: Hi Lottie...
Lottie: Oh my God you have to gimme your number!
Louis: Lottie!
Lottie: I'll send you all of Louis' embarrassing pics!
Louis: Lottie shut up!
Harry: Sure! Its 5-
Louis: (shouts) Ok that's it! Bye Lots!
Lottie: No wai-
Louis: (hangs up)
Harry: What! Why'd you hang up! (Tries to reach the phone) Gimme that!
Louis: (pushes Harry's hand) Fuck off Harold! There's no way I'm letting you and my sister interact.
Harry: (crosses his arms; pouts) Why not?
Louis: (shakes his head) If she happens to tell you my embarrassing stories, I'd die. That's for sure.
Harry: (pushes him slightly) You're no fun.
Louis: (raises an eyebrow) Well... if you give me Gemma's number, I'll give you Lottie's (Grins).
Harry: (again trying to grab the phone) That's not fair!
Louis: (keeping the phone away from Harry) How is it not fair?
Harry: Because.... because I said so.
Louis: Then I'm sorry Harold. You can't have Lottie's number. (Pushes Harry's face with his hand)
Harry: (rubbing his nose; under his breath) Fucking hedgehog.
Louis: (smiles as Harry looks cute.) So... Ziam are dating huh?
Harry: (scratches his neck) Yeah... but I've never really seen them acting coupley. Well except for Liam's heart eyes.
Louis: (chuckles) Yeah... And what about Niall and his damsels?
Harry: (laughs at that) Well...
Louis: (raises an eyebrow)
Harry: (teasing; quotes Louis) It's not really my place to tell Loueh...
Louis: (whiny) Harryyyy... I didn't tell you that because Niall was your close friend!
Harry: (raises an eyebrow) So he's not your friend?
Louis: (shakes his head) No no that's not what I meant. (Pestering him) Harry please... (pouts adorably).
Harry: Nope not working. (Louis flutters his eyelashes increasing his pout) Ugh... fine I'll tell you. (Louder) Damn your cuteness.
Louis: (does a fist pump) Yes!
Harry: Soooo... Niall slept with Selena...
Louis: (his face expression changes so quickly that it's hilarious) What!?
Harry: (makes an uneasy expression) Yeah... at the 1D party....
Louis: Oh.. (thinking) Irish luck.
Harry: (chuckles) But now he's with Betty. And doesn't talk to Selena. At least I believe so.
Louis: So he told Betty.
Harry: (scratches his head; looks down) Not really...
Louis: What?
Harry: (quickly) He said he was going to... but decided against it. (Slumps his shoulders) Well they're doing good now.... so why ruin it? What you don't know doesn't hurt.
Louis: Harry... she'll surely come to know at one point...
Harry: (sighs) I know...
Louis: (sighs) Everything is just.... so.... (makes a face) dramatic.
Harry: (nods) Yeah...
Bell rings...
Harry: (checks the time) I'll be back.
Louis: (nods)

After 5 minutes...

Harry: (walks into the room; closes the door) Its just Peter. Left the keys it seems.
Louis: This yours?
Harry: (looks at what Louis' holding) Um...
Louis: (dusting it; coughs)
Harry: (quickly) Gimme that.
Louis: Harry wha-
Harry: (opens the top shelf and throws it in).
Louis: Harry! Careful!
Harry: (dusts his hands).
Louis: (sits on the bed; eyeing Harry) You play?
Harry: (sits beside him) Yeah...
Louis: (doesn't ask anything; just staring at Harry).
Harry: (exhales deeply) My mum taught me.
Louis: Oh...
Harry: I loved music. I loved singing... I used to wake up at 6 and just play my Mom's guitar for like an hour...  Gemma would be so furious (small laugh). I used to sing and play for my mum.... My parents bought me that guitar, (points to the top shelf) for my 10th birthday.
Louis: And you've never played since they...
Harry: (nods)
Louis: (gives him a sideways hug.)
Harry: (sighs; hugs him back).

Louis: (runs downstairs) Oh! Um hey...
Peter: (sitting on the couch; watching TV; smiles) Hey Louis. You want something?
Louis: (also smiles) No... I just wanted to make a call but uh... Harry's asleep and didn't wanna wake him... I thought you were sleeping.
Peter: (smiles) No... not yet. Was just chillin.
Louis: (walks up to him sits on the couch) Wow Harry was right... You do speak like a teenage girl.
Peter: (acts like flipping his hair sassily)
Louis: (laughs shaking his head.)
Peter: (looking at Louis intently; smiling) I can see why Harry likes you... You have contagious smile...
Louis: (scoffs) I'm flattered.
Peter: (smiles) I've never seen Harry smile so much in 8 years...
Louis: (sighs) It must be tough...
Peter: (looks down) Yeah... When my sister died... I was so hurt. (Looks at Louis) But Harry was crushed... He never cried. Not even at the funeral... He has kept all his emotions locked up ever since...
Louis: (curious) What happened?
Peter: (shakes his head) Not my story to tell.
Louis: (slightly whiny) But he'll never say! (Struggles) I... I like him...
Peter: I know... he likes you too.
Louis: (bites his lip) I think I love him.
Peter: (looks at him, a bit shocked and a bit amused).
Louis: (holds Peter's hands) I want to help... But for that I need to know... please...
Peter: (sighs) Trust me Louis... it's better if he's the one that tells you this... It'll take time... but I know he will. To you... he will. I don't know if he loves you... but... I know that you're different. Maybe he'll love you back. Maybe he'll shut you out. (Looks at him intently) Are you willing to put yourself in this situation?
Louis: (nods biting his lip)
Peter: (smiles) I'm so happy you moved here Louis... (eyes glistening) so happy... I know it would be really selfish of me to ask this of you, but... Don't ever give up on him, okay? He needs this.
Louis: (smiles) I won't.
