I jolt up awake, I looked at my phone seeing Louis’ caller ID I pressed receive call “Hello?” I said my voice still raspy “Hey Marcel meet us at the cafeteria today alright?” He asked I smiled at the thought of him and I together ... well with Zayn, Liam and Niall there too of course “Ok” I said

He hanged up after muttering goodbye, I quickly got up and went to the bathroom, taking a shower and doing my usual morning routine. I went downstairs and ate some cereal; I grabbed my bag, checking if my wallet and my house keys are there, I left the house.

I walked to the same path to school but not like the last time, this time i feel like I’m being followed, I look around until i found a good looking guy trailing behind me, smiling at me, I smiled back and walked faster than usual, until i felt a hand on my shoulder

I yelped and tried to run but he kept a good grip on me and dragged me an alley, I was scared shitless, I was shaking too much i couldn’t even stand straight, He chuckled and grabbed my wrists and put it over my head, his eyes trailing from head to toe, he licked his lips

“Hey pretty boy, don’t be afraid this wouldn’t take long” He said chuckling, I was about to make a run for it when i felt his lips crashing into mine, I muffled help from his lips i struggled to get out of his grip but i couldn’t

I heard a clicking sound, he pulled away he then fell on the ground gripping his head tightly Louis was there behind him holding a huge plank of wood, I took a deep breath, he ran away from the both of us, I looked at Louis confused

“Are you okay?” He asked, I nod “Thanks” I said still a little bit shaky, what the f*ck did just happen? “Good thing i was there huh?” Louis asked, I chuckled “Yeah ... thank you” I said again, He put his arms around me which looked adorable to me because he was smaller than me

He must’ve saw me snickering he thumped the back of my head playfully “I know I’m smaller than you Styles, but I’m a lot stronger than you” He said proud, I stared at him when he said the word Styles, doesn’t he feel weird that he’s calling me the same name as his boyfriend ... ex boyfriend.

“Right” I said snickering “Hey” He said taunting me I laughed the whole way until we had to say goodbye to each other to go to separate rooms “See you at lunch” He said I nod and waved away, I opened the classroom door to see Ashton, Luke, Calum and Michael looking at me weirdly

“What?” I asked, they just laughed I furrow my eyebrows in confusion “Nothing, it’s nothing” Ashton said “What is it?” I asked seriously, which made them stare and I laughed at their expression I sat down in front of them they all nodded at each other like they are having a telepathic conversation.

“Well, we have been posting covers of our band on YouTube and well, we got a recording label to sign us up and also the 1975 want us to be the supporting act for their stadium tour” Luke says I gasped “That is awesome and I love the 1975” I said they nodded

“Yeah we know that’s why we are giving you this” Ashton said offering me a huge 1.D. I looked at them confused “What is it?” I ask “It’s a VIP front row ticket to the 1975’s performance this Saturday and they are announcing us being the supporting act this Saturday too after their whole performance” Calum said

I nod excitedly but that’s when i frowned “Guys, I can’t come” I said making them shout in unison “What?”

“I’m Sorry, but Louis already asked me to come to his house on Saturday” I said making them shout in unison again only louder than before “WHAT?” I chuckle “Marcel are you serious? You’re picking them over us?”

I look at them ... they are right, why am i picking them over my friends who didn’t bully me “I’m sorry, you’re right I’ll talk to Louis later okay? But guys I’m going to be joining him at lunch and I hope you guys are at least okay with that” I said

They all rubbed their chins pretending to have beards and nodded we all laughed and got silenced by the professor when she went in on our classroom

“I really thought for a minute there that you suddenly trusted your bullies” Michael said

“Well, I do, a little, it’s only because they deserve a second chance right and I need something that will help me get close with Lou—i mean with everyone” I said Calum chuckled “we already know you have a crush on him Marcel, no need to hide it, but we’re very concerned about this bro, they might do something that they can blackmail you with” Calum said

“So be careful” Michael continued

I nod “I will, Promise”

A few hours later the bell rings for lunch time, I quickly got up and said goodbye to the boys and head off to the cafeteria, for the first time, I wasn’t scared of the cafeteria, especially when i opened the door i saw Louis right away, alone.

Should i go there or should i leave?

Before i can think of it any further i was already making my way to his table, he saw me and simply smiled and waved, I sat across from where he is sitting I smiled back at him, i was shocked that I am sitting so close to him, but i was also conscious about the amount of people giving us weird looks

Louis looked around him and gave everyone his what-you-looking-at look he always gives when some of the homophobic people gives Niall and Liam disgusting looks, but sometimes Zayn takes care of it and the next day they’ll end up beaten up or expelled or kicked out or they were force to move to another school

“So are you ready for this weekend?” Louis asks curiously I shuffled from the chair nervously and gulped “Well about that...” I trailed when i saw Zayn, Liam and Niall whispering to each other glancing at the two of us, i look at them confused but i shrugged it off it’s none of my business

“I can’t come, because I need to support my friends on their first ever concert as the supporting group for the 1975, which is awesome innit?” I said excitedly He nodded and smiled “Yeah they are awesome ...” He trailed off his words and stared at me completely emotionless?

I waved my hands in front of him which made him snapped back to reality “Are you alright Lou?” I asked it made him flinch “Lou?” He asked I gulped “Shit, sorry, I meant Louis, sorry, don’t hate me” I said too quickly I closed my eyes waiting for some kind of beating that can happen

“Marcel, I’m not going to hurt you, and It’s alright to call me Lou... it’s perfectly fine” He said looking at me with concern, am i dreaming or Louis is really concern for me I smile a little and nodded “Ok” I said making him smile

“If this concert ends early call me so i can pick you up and maybe you can still go with us” He said I nod completely happy that he still want me to be with him even though his friends still hate me or ignore me at least.

“Alright see you later Styles” He said staring at me “Alright bye Lou” I said to him walking away and making my way to my friends table they were all smiling at me, I was still confused as to why Louis was zoning out more than usual but I shrugged it off, he’s probably be fine, I don’t know him that well to ask him what’s wrong he might reject me too.

“So are you ready for this weekend Marcel?” Luke asks as i sat down next to him I nod “Yes I can hardly wait” I said making them chuckle

I was excited for two reasons one is Luke, Ashton, Michael and Calum playing for my favourite band as a supporting act and two is Louis, I mean imagine Louis and I together in one house all night

I know it’s a little bit weird and shallow but I mean come on! Being with my crush is better than staring from afar right?

The day went fast and soon enough i was making my way inside the house, I feel nauseous i just can’t imagine what that guy did to me earlier, I’m just glad Louis was there to save me from him though, wait, Why is Louis suddenly there in the first place?

I shrug it off and went inside seeing Gemma sitting on the couch holding out an envelope, isn’t she supposed to be gone for 2 more weeks?

“Why didn’t you tell me Marcel?” Gemma asks sitting up and throwing the envelope at me, I caught it mid air and stared at her confused, why is she mad at me all of a sudden?

“What?” I ask confused I don’t remember doing anything that Gemma would be mad at I rarely get her mad at me for something to be honest “Why didn’t you tell me you are still gay?” She said

Still? Wait she knew? I gulped how did she know? I opened the envelope and that’s when I saw the same guy, a picture of me and that guy kissing, No, this is bad

“Where did you get this Gemma? That was the guy who forced me to kiss him earlier good thing my friend was there to beat him up because I can’t do shit. Gemma tell me” I said and i ripped the picture into pieces out of anger

“I found it at our doorstep, on our house, not this house, but our parent’s house, Marcel... if they find out about this, they’ll disown you, they thought you got over it, but i never thought you are still this vile person,” She said

She’s a homophobe, my parents are too, but I don’t remember telling them i was gay, then why is she telling me this stuff about our parents already knew i was gay and they thought i got over it, what the hell is happening?

My heart was beating so fast i can almost hear it pounding in my chest I was breathing too hard, The thought of my parent’s disowning me made me scared, I was too scared to even talk and control my emotions, I ended up running away from Gemma and locking the door from the inside of my room

I slid down the door and let the tears take in everything that had happened, I was finally happy, but then I was never fully happy to be honest because now I’m pretty sure at any given moment, my parents will be barging in and will toss me out on the streets to live on my own

I hated the thought and it made me cry harder I heard the front door close and the house was completely silent, Gemma left me, what kind of sister leaves me?

Who would do this to me? Who would send that picture to my parents? And why would they do that to me?

My head hurts from the confusing thoughts that i slowly felt my eyes getting droopy, I cried myself to sleep, for the hundredth time, but this time i knew whatever happened the next day will be so bad that I’ll probably have no more tears left to shed

“Did the plan work?” My assistant asked me I glance at my assistant waiting for an answer i sighed “Yes it did” I said he grinned at me and made his way towards me “So what will happen now?” He asks

“Now... his parents will know about him being gay and they’ll disown him and he will be left alone, the way he deserves it” I said chuckling “You were great too, thank you for agreeing on doing my plan,” I said to my assistant

“It’s alright, the boy was a great kisser too, what’s his name again?” My assistant asked “Marcel Styles, his name is Marcel” I said

Thinking about the boy that broke my heart
