Chapter 5: Distant

Louis xx Pov

I woke up feeling somebody beside me i was about to panic when i heard zayn’s voice

“Good Morning Louis” Zayn said smiling at me and got up and went to the loo i heard the shower turned on and i smiled at myself

I remembered the time Harry used to shower in – No Louis ... you can’t think of him now don’t think of him... You’ll hurt yourself... Move on

I thought to myself i got up and got my clothes and towel and waited for zayn to finish

When he did i quickly showered and changed and went straight to my bedroom

“Thanks Louis ... for understanding me” Zayn said looking at me straight in the eyes

I nod and give him a hug he left after that and i quickly got my bag and made sure i had my car keys... i don’t want to walk so I’ll just take the car i went downstairs to find Marzia carrying a plate of food i took the sandwich and thanked her and ate it quickly.

I went to my car started it up and drove until i saw Marcel walking i slowed down until he noticed me and waved “Come on Join me we’ll go to school together” I said

He just sighed and nodded his head ... that’s weird i thought he would like that

He sat in the passenger seat and i just stared at him “Why so moody Marcel?” I asked him

“I’m not moody... j-just sleepy” He said ... He stuttered... he never stutters ... something is wrong i know it ... but i can’t ask him ... it might be personal

I smiled at him he smiled back weakly and i drove to school i parked in my usual parking space--- my dad reserved it for me--- and got out of the car

Everyone was looking at us when Marcel got out of the car I just gave them a look and they all got back to what they were doing

“Sorry... If I’m ruining your social status Lou” He said using my nickname Harr—no Louis not again... From now on Marcel made u that nickname not Harry

I just smiled at him “You’re not ruining anything Marcel ... Let’s go” I wrapped my arms around him and walked together to school i made our way to maths class

The boys and 5SOS looked at us like they’ve seen a ghost

Marcel slowly got off my arm and sat down next to 5sos boys and they started chatting while Marcel just nodded an answer and never spoke ... something is bothering him

I saw a hand waving in front of me and i looked at it and saw niall looking at me

“Wow Louis ... never thought you would fall that quickly” Niall states they all laugh and nod

“What?” I don’t get it “It’s nothing Louis ... so is this weekend still on” Liam asks

I nod “But not the humiliating the nerd part ... i don’t think he’s a bad guy” I said looking at Harry

“Ok Mr. Tomlinson ... but Life tip Louis ... Get to know him first before you judge ... you don’t want him ending up like your ex would you?” Zayn said

I was shocked on what he said Liam thumped zayn hard on his chest Zayn realizes what he said to me and was about to say sorry when i interrupted him

“Yeah, your right ... i don’t want him ending up like Harry” I said smiling at them and sat down with them

They snapped out at their shocked faces and smiled back the teacher came and as usual i slept in the whole period ... and same in every class until the day is over

I was awaken by Niall shaking my shoulders vigorously I groaned and looked at him he just smiled

I stood up and saw Marcel packing his things i went to him and tapped his shoulder He was startled and took a deep breath when he saw it was only me

“Oh a little Jumpy there Pal... well do you want to join me I’ll take you home if you like”

“Umm...Yeah sure” He said looking a bit distant and kept walking i followed him and we went straight into the car i started it and took a deep breath

“You are pretty distant lately ... would you mind if i ask what’s wrong.” I asked him

He looked at me straight in the eyes “I’m Gay Louis that’s what’s wrong”

I was shocked ... not because he was gay ... but because he thinks gay is wrong

He realized what he said “Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend it’s just that ... my parents don’t accept me and something bad happened and now they don’t even want to talk to me and I” He trailed off i looked at him and he was crying

I quickly went closer to him and hugged him he was startled at first but then he relaxed and hugged back

“Oh Marcel ... you could’ve just told me ... we have the same story ... well almost ... but will you please tell me the whole story?” I asked nicely

He sniffs and nods we both sat on our legs --- good thing the car seats are wide--- and faced each other he took a deep breath and

I started to tell Louis my story

Flashback

I was finished with preparing for school and went downstairs when i heard the door open i looked at the door and went to it cautiously

And i gulped ... My mom and Dad were standing in the door right in front of me ... they do not look happy at all

“Marcel, we need to talk” Dad said taking a seat on the living room chair my mom followed him looking disgusted ... at me

“We received a letter with a picture of you ... Kissing some guy” Mom said she looks at me again ... with disgust

I bow my head down and wait for what’s to come

“We can’t allow our son to be gay .. there is only one way to solve this ... you go back to our old house live with us and you are getting a girlfriend to prove your willing to be straight to stay with the family ... or be gay and we will disown you “ Dad said to me

I looked at them in the eyes ... this is it Marcel you need to tell them what you want

“I’m Gay and i will forever will be i like boys and i will never like girls ... i love someone already and i am not leaving here without even saying my feeling about him ... i am your son accept me for who i am” I said to them sternly

My dad stands up and pushes me on the ground Mom quickly went in front of me and slaps me in the face

“You have a week to find your own house and money or a job we don’t care we want you out of this property as soon as possible ... we want you out of our life with no contact don’t even contact your sister we won’t allow her ... we can’t accept you we never will”

They both walked out banging the door

Flashback Ends

I listened to all the things he said to me ... i can’t believe his parents will do that to him ... and I’m even more scared ... what if my dad will do that to me when i came out to him ...

I looked at Marcel and i sat on his lap and hugged him ... he hugged back tightly and didn’t even mind that i’m sitting in his lap

“I’ll help you find your new home Marcel ... you don’t need them ... you don’t need people who don’t accept you ... they are not worth it Marcel you know why? “ I asked him

He shook his head while sniffling and sobbing in my shoulders

“Because you don’t have to change yourself for people to like you... You don’t need to change for people to accept you because i accept you and i don’t want you to change ... and i know the 5sos boys and my lads accept you too ... so it’s 8 against 2 Marcel ... they are not worth it ... we can give you the love you deserve” I said

He pulls away slowly and stares at me he smiles “Thank You” He said hugging me again and settling down on the chair

I looked at him and settled down on my chair ... i stepped on the gas and we drove to his house

I opened the door and he made his way to his house “Lou you can come in if you want” He shouts from the gate of his house I nod and quickly locked my car.

I catch up on him he looks at me and smiles and opens the door

I looked at the house and it seems decent as always ... But when Harry was here it was cleaner ... oh Louis you’re thinking of him again

“Let’s go upstairs ... would you mind if you help me pack my clothes so that i won’t forget about it” He says

“I don’t mind at all “He smiles and we made our way to the bedroom

He goes into his closet and starts rummaging for clothes i went to the loo to do my business

I went outside the bathroom and saw Marcel sleeping on the pile of clothes at the floor

I chuckle ... he looks cute ... yeah he’s cute

I made my over to him and carry him ... he’s taller than me and yet he is still light ... he better not be starving himself because of this ...

Louis do you actually care for him

My conscience bothering me again I shook my head shrugging off this amazing feeling in my stomach

That’s what you call love Louis .. you’re in love with Marc—

I screamed No mentally ... i hate these stupid thoughts

I tucked Marcel in and i don’t know what i was doing but i laid beside him hugged him and kissed him on the head ... “Goodnight,” I said and i drifted off to sleep

And what was weird though is that ... when I do stuff like that to him

I feel like ... it’s right ... Louis William Tomlinson are you falling for Marcel Styles?
