Leaps - AU Larry Stylinson *ON HOLD*

History

HARRY'S POV

We all retreated to our rooms for a couple of hours. I think it was best if I didn't speak to anyone for the time being. Not that I wanted to speak to anyone anyway. I hoped my friends would understand, it hurt having them give me the cold shoulder. Especially Eleanor. I wasn't that close to Liam or Niall, but Eleanor had been there for me since day one.

Her family used to be friends with my family. We used to go to each other's houses everyday and have tea parties. She treated me as the special guest at her parties so I would get the second biggest piece of cake, after hers of course. We were almost inseparable until my mum had an argument with her mum. After that the play dates stopped and we didn't see each other until we started school. It was weird seeing her, she was much older than I remembered and she hung out with all the girls. I tried to hang out with her but I got called a girl and I was teased when we played 'house' together. It never got any better until we were much much older, say around 11 or 12. We became closer and the sleepovers started again. The teasing was different this time around though. Instead of being called girly or weird, I was called her boyfriend and everyone told us we looked like we were dating. Eleanor enjoyed the attention while I hated it. I hated the thought of going out with her as bad as it sounds. I just never thought of her as anything more than a friend.

When we hit 14 and 15 I realised why that was. Why I never wanted to kiss her or admire her body. I watched her go through what seemed like a hundred boyfriends, I was jealous. Not of the boys, but of her. I wanted a boyfriend. No one had the guts to come out then or perhaps they just didn't know yet. Either way I didn't know any gay people so I was left in the dark for most of my teenage years. She always tried to hook me up with her friends and I always declined. I was just waiting for the right girl, I'd tell her. It went on like this until she finally gave up. She sometimes asks me why I haven't ever had a girlfriend but I just don't give her an answer. I admit, she deserved for me to tell her not have her find out via Facebook. No wonder she's feeling strange about this, especially since she's known me for so long.

I was about to get ready for bed when my phone rang, which was strange as I never get calls. I grabbed my phone and saw it was Liam.

"Hi," I heard his voice through the phone. It didn't sound like him but phones do that to people.

"Hey, Liam, what's up?"

"I wanted to see if you were okay," He paused for a bit like he was wondering if he should continue or not. "I mean, you seemed pretty upset today,"

"It's okay, Liam. Stop worrying about me,"

"I can't. Not when we don't even know who hacked you,"

"It was my mum. But, it's fine. Don't even start with ranting or whatever, please,"

I heard him sigh and say okay. We said good bye and he hung up. To be completely honest, it wasn't okay at all. My own mother hates me for something I can't even change. I know we were never close but it still hurts. The only person I can trust right now is Gemma. Or Louis.

LOUIS POV

Sitting in my office once again after a meeting with a client. This time I have a really annoying client who likes to complain about every single little thing my work partner does. He seems to think it's okay to point out every one of my flaws even though they have nothing to do with the case he's getting us to work on. He even wanted to fire us at one point but I persuaded him otherwise. I don't even know why I did though, if he fired us I wouldn't have to put up with his bullshit. I've been really unproductive today because I'm seeing Harry for the first time in a while. Actually, it hasn't been that long since I've seen him but either way I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. I was day dreaming about him when I heard a soft knock on my door. Please don't be Sofia, please. I thought to myself as I opened my door.
