Chapter 2 - Don't trust your bullies

Marcel xx Pov

I closed the door behind me, taking a deep breath, I just talked to Louis and he talked back and he thought i was funny. Honestly i feel like a high school girl that just got noticed by his crush, wait that DID happen the only difference is I’m not a girl.

“Umm” A voice said in front of me, I flinch knowing that was Zayn’s voice, when it felt like forever i opened my eyes and saw them looking at me with ... guilt? That’s weird. “Hi Marcel, Thanks for what you did for Louis, yeah thanks, i guess” Zayn said unsure and patted my back Liam and Niall just gave me a smile and all of them made their way to Louis’ room

I look around me and saw people smiling at me, some of them whispering things

“Oh my god did you see him save Louis, He’s so dreamy”

“Why didn’t i notice it before that he’s kind of hot?”

“What if i ask him out on a date would he say yes?”

“Of course he won’t he’s gay remember?”

The last one made me flinch, so all of them do know I’m gay, well at least maybe Zayn, Liam, and Niall won’t bully me again, maybe they’ll try to be nice to me because now I’m Louis’ friend. Who am i kidding, of course, they’ll be mean to me, it’s not like I’m Louis’ best friend or anything

But it did felt weird to hear “good” things about me from people here in school, I’ve been used to being called a fag an ugly fuck, so i really don’t know how i feel about this, I walk through the hallway that leads back to the cafeteria

They kept calling me a hero, I’m no hero, I don’t think i am, because if i am i wouldn’t still be scared of Louis’ best friends, but for now the only important thing i can think about is food.

I saw Marcel walking towards us he looks so confused “Hi” He said I smiled at him as he sat right next to me “People saw what you did and they think you’re some kind of hero, which you are by the way” I said making him smile

“But i still don’t get why i am a hero? Or some shit like that, I just carried him to the nurse's office what’s so good about Th—“Before he could go one Ashton interrupted him “Stan explained what happened because people were shouting at him for an explanation earlier he just said that you saved Louis, but he didn’t explain how Louis ended up there in the first place, he said it was a secret”

“Stan apologized to everyone and he knows Louis, Liam, Zayn and Niall are going to get him so he went on a holiday, perks of being rich i guess because he literally just called someone on the phone and the next thing we know, he’s going on a 3 month holiday, weird,” Luke said his mouth still full of food

“So now we hope that no one will bully you anymore,” Michael said and patted Marcel’s back “and now we can eat in peace,” I said making them all laugh, Marcel seems to be enjoying our company which is good because we want him to be our friend

I plumped down on the bed feeling happy for once in my life, this day has been good after all, it’s my first good day since ... actually it’s my first good day in like forever, which is great, i guess. I stripped down and changed into my sweatpants and got a tank top on i walked downstairs to the kitchen and heated up some leftover pizza

I went upstairs and pulled up my diary from my bag

Dear Diary,

This is the most interesting day ever, I got heartbroken for at least 5 minutes and then it glued back together when I saved Louis’ and he talked to me ... he even thought i was funny, I made friends too, their names are Luke, Calum, Michael and Ashton, they have this band they call 5 seconds of summer which is cool because i love bands, so basically this day have been interesting, in a good way that is.

But there are two things that are still bothering me today one why did Louis act surprised by my name and when i was carrying Louis, he muttered something about Harry to not let him go, Who’s Harry? And why is Louis telling him to not let go? I’ll search for him later so bye

I closed my diary and put it inside my bag once again, I made my way to the bathroom and stripped all of my clothes and showered, I sat down wrapping my arms around my knees and bowed my head, I felt pain at the side of my head “Ow” I flinched at the sudden pain

I tried to stand up but I couldn’t my sight went completely black, then an image appeared

“Oh, Harry ... I love you so much” Louis says hugging me from behind as I shower, I chuckle at him he’s just too adorable “I love you too Boo,” I said turning around to look at him and kiss him passionately

“Ahhh” I screamed I scurried away from the shower turning it off carefully; I stared at the bathroom mirror, what the hell is that? Why did it felt so real ... maybe it’s another one of my hallucinations, but that just seemed so real...

I shrug it off, i have always been getting this kind of images, i don’t know why and to be honest I don’t really care, I went to my room and wore my sweatpants again, i opened my computer and clicked my twitter, my account just gained 400 followers all of them are my classmates, It’s weird that I’m getting noticed and appreciated

I saw tweets of my classmates saying hi to me ... I ignored it, I don’t care about them, I care about one person today, Louis. Even though Louis talked to me earlier i still don’t know why he kissed Stan and why did Stan say it was a secret? Why did Stan punch Louis in the first place, that was what the boys told me ... and who is Harry?

Maybe I can search him, I opened Facebook and typed Harry, stupid me i don’t know his last name. I clicked on Louis’ account and searched Harry in his friend's list, it showed one person, Harry Styles... that’s weird, we have the same last name.

Maybe that’s why Louis was bothered by my name, I clicked on the name, it hasn’t been updated in 2 years, I clicked on the pictures section, click the first picture where i saw Louis, I stood up shivering, this is creepy ... Harry almost looks like me, fewer glasses and waxed hair, he’s more muscular but if you look at us closely, he will look exactly like me

This is a good thing, creepy but good, that means i looked like someone from Louis’ past but that doesn’t answer the question “Who is Harry Styles in Louis’ life?” then i saw it

“In a relationship with Louis Tomlinson”

I stood there gaping at the page I shut the computer lid down, after glancing at this Harry guy again. He really does look like me, he has the same last name as me ... he even likes the same boy as me, the only difference is, he’s more attractive and he got Louis’ to be his boyfriend.

It’s really creepy that he is almost like me, but that won’t really change anything, i still don’t have Louis’ as Harry did, i can have Louis, but i don’t think i can confess my feelings to him without the thought of rejection in my mind that is holding me back.

I plopped down the bed almost drifting to sleep when my phone rang, I picked it up not looking at the caller I.D. it’s probably just Gemma or my parents. “Um hi is this Marcel?” A familiar voice asked, “Yes, who is this?” I ask

“It’s Louis”

I gulped, this can’t be real Louis Tomlinson is calling me, calm down Marcel “O-oh Hi” I facepalmed myself, good job Marcel you stuttered... good job. He chuckled on the other line

“Just calling to ask you if you are free this weekend we are having a boys night out and well the boys and I had a great idea of asking you to join us, as a thank you for earlier and also they want to make it up to you,” He said nervousness in his tone I nodded eagerly, completely forgetting he can’t see me

“Oh yeah sure Thanks, I’ll come,” I said feeling the numbness on my cheeks from smiling, god i’m acting like a teenage girl. “Good see you then bye” He said “Bye” i hanged up and closed my eyes, did that really happen?

It did and I’m happy maybe this is my chance of asking Louis out, i still have this gutted feeling that something is really wrong, but i shrug it off, I don’t want any sunken bad feeling to ruin my day, I closed my eyes and slowly drift to sleep, dreaming of Louis once again.

“Boys I invited him, he said yes” I said they all smiled at me “Great now the rest of the plan is up to us” Zayn said I nod “But if something goes wrong, we are canceling it ok?” I ask them all nod “What are we going to do anyway?” Niall asked i shrug Zayn and Liam just laughed

“Let’s just say we are going to teach him a lesson, to not trust the people who hate him ... and that’s us,” Liam said pecking Niall on the lips which turned into another make-out session I pretend to gag which made Zayn giggle, his face was full of disgust which was odd but i shrug it off.

“Ok then” I said confirming we are all in this together, I thought about Marcel and the way he talked to me earlier, genuinely he looks cute, but now all i can think of is Marcel looking like a complete idiot, an idiot that no one wants to be friends with, I chuckled at the thought of Marcel being alone ... that will be happening soon.
