I give you a double update now but you're not prepared for this one, guys. Definitely not, but I was excited to write it because we're getting somewhere ... maybe not somewhere good but it's something. 

Don't forget to leave your comments and tell me what you think, guys :)

And by the way, this gif is my life. Just look at them *_*

If it wasn't weird enough on Monday, it was even weirder on Tuesday. On Monday Harry had felt strangely uncomfortable the whole day over. When Louis hasn't been with Zayn or Liam, he had straight out ignored Harry. This behaviour had pissed Harry off a lot because Jake was eyeing them weirdly every chance he got. If Louis was gonna blow this up then God save him.

Tuesday was even worse but in a totally different way. As soon as Form Period was over Louis was clinging to him like crazy and Harry knew it was because of Jake's friend two rows behind them but Harry was still very confused. Mostly because Louis was acting possessive and clingy when someone was around who could see them but put a huge distance between them when no one was around. Something was going on with him and Harry wanted to know what because it was fucking annoying but first, he had to survive Geography with Jake watching them.

"He said we should work in groups of three and my friends are all already taken so um ..." showed Jake up in front of Harry's table.

"Sit down, Bafort" rolled Louis his eyes at him and tightened his grip on Harry's hand.

"Nice as always" shot Jake back as he sat down.

"We could let you work alone" countered Louis already annoyed.

"Don't think Mr. Robinson would like that very much, mh? But go on and make him hate you even more" Jake didn't back down and Harry had to try really hard to keep a smile in. Jake really got Louis with that one.

"As if I would care about him. School is almost over" huffed Louis peeved.

"Very true. The last break is near. Any plans?" shifted Jake his attention over to Harry.

"Not really. Chilling and relaxing mostly but spending most of my time with Louis, of course," replied Harry skilfully.

"No Lou? That's a first" was the only thing Jake paid attention to.

"He doesn't need to call me that everywhere. It's enough when he calls me that in bed" learned Louis back in his chair with a challenging look on his face.

Hearing that, Harry choked on the air in the room and tried to keep the coughs in. He had not expected something like this. Why did Louis say that and what was the purpose of it? Hopefully, that wouldn't backfire. Jake didn't look pleased, at all and now Harry was scared.

"Sounds very interesting but maybe we should focus on the task at hand and not your night adventures," said Jake tensely.

"Have fun with that" placed Louis one of his hands provokingly on Harry's thigh pretty close to his dick.

Harry heard the blood rushing through his veins and felt his pulse and heartbeat picking up and he just knew he was completely red in the face now. This was just absolutely awkward and inappropriate. If Harry could he would knock Louis' head off right now. Claiming Harry as his in front of Jake was Harry not getting anywhere.

That's why he was never this happy when a lesson was over. Jake was never gone this fast and immediately, Louis was gone as well before Harry could even say anything. Moodily, Harry walked into the cafeteria, took his food and sat down next to Niall, who only gave him a questioning look.

"Don't ask" muttered Harrywaywardly.

"Did I mention how much I hate Maths?" groaned Sean as he sat down with Aria on the other side of them.

"No one likes it" started Niall to eat.

"Wrong. Liam does. No idea what's wrong with that guy" noted Aria jokingly.

"Did you kill him for that?" cocked Harry an eyebrow at her.

"Yes, of course. That's blood on my fingers" showed Aria off her clean hands.

"You're not funny," said Harry dryly.

"Same goes for you" winked Aria at him.

"Anyway, I was just asking because he isn't here. Normally, he comes with the two of you" came Harry back to his actual topic.

"Could ask you the same or Niall. Zayn and Louis are also missing" shot Aria back smoothly.

"And Àmber" added Sean observingly.

"She's at home. Felt sick this morning" informed Aria them.

"I hope she gets well soon".

"And Z disappeared faster from the classroom than I could react. No idea where he is" let Niall them know.

"Huh, that's weird, don't you think? All three of them missing, again" mused Harry warily.

"It's probably nothing" waved Aria the matter off fishy.

"What do you know?" eyed Harry her intensively.

"Me? Nothing" avoided Aria any eye-contact.

"Hazza, let it be" held Niall him back.

"Why? Something is going on and I'm sure she knows something. I wanna know why Louis is acting so strange and Zayn and Liam are involved in some way" burst Harry out so done.

"Strange in which way?" hooked Sean while Aria stayed very silent.

"Distant. He ignores me but when Jake is around or his friends he is almost possessive and clingy. He really needs to get a grip on himself" told Harry them annoyed.

"Oh yeah? He is just doing what you wanted him to do. Acting like you're a thing and a normal boyfriend would be jealous of Jake always hitting on you. Would be too obvious if he wasn't" remarked Aria almost salty.

"She has a point, H. He is just doing his job" agreed Sean with her.

"That may be but what about the ignoring me part? What's his problem?" Harry wanted to know.

"Hazza, when was the last time you two did anything together outside of all of this? Alone" asked Niall him carefully.

"Um ..." was all Harry was able to say. He couldn't remember when he had last seen him outside of school.

"This explains everything" commented Sean on the topic at hand.

"This explains nothing. He is ignoring me and not the other way around. If he wants something he can just say it and not act like a baby. It's probably just the exam stress" defended Harry himself.

"So, you think our three missing friends are studying somewhere?" looked Aria crookedly at him.

"Or filming a sex tape. What do I know? It's not like I care" shrugged Harry and just had the feeling he could be right with his guess.

"Whatever" grumbled Aria to herself.

After Lunch, Harry made his way over to the choir. He loved this last hour of the day. Here he could forget everything. Well, normally he could. But today it wasn't working. Louis was constantly on his mind. His behaviour and the things he knew through Jake about him and the fact he was definitely secretly hooking-up with Zayn and was keeping this as well from Harry like so many other things. Harry really needed to talk to him and find out why his supposedly best friend had so many secrets from him.

With that in mind, Harry walked over to the drama classroom when the choir was over. He knew Louis was always one of the last ones to leave because he loved his safe place. And just as expected, Louis was still in the room talking to Sam, a guy from the football team and a friend of Louis, who has once been Louis' first kiss. Harry and Sam never really talked much but he also never really wanted to change that. When Sam finally left, Harry walked inside.

"Haz, what are you doing here?" was Louis startled when he saw him standing there.

"I think we really need to talk and I wanted to keep you from running away because lately, you're good at this" came Harry straight to the point.

"I don't know what about but okay, fine. What's the matter?" looked Louis around to make sure they were alone.

"That's what I wanna know," said Harry and made Louis frown in confusion. "You're acting strange and I wanna know why. I thought best friends don't have secrets from each other".

"What are you talking about? I don't have any s ...".

"Don't even finish that sentence. I know it would be a lie anyway" cut Harry him off.

"A lie? What ... Haz, I never lied to you" was Louis utterly confused.

"Oh really? If you don't lie to me then it won't be a problem for you to tell me why you're ignoring me and acting distant when neither Jake nor his friends are around" challenged Harry him.

"You mean like you?" shot Louis back strongly. "Who's only focused on Jake and no one else?".

"Oh, I'm sorry that I love Jake and want to be with him. As my best friend, I thought you would understand that and help me, no matter what" defended Harry himself.

"That's what I'm doing. I freaking play your boyfriend every single day to help you get what you want, but what about me? You only ever pay attention to me when we're acting. You only care about Jake or yourself and I don't wanna watch this any longer. You never forgot about your friends but since you're talking to Jake you're different. Friday would have never happened in the old days" exploded Louis fed up.

"You tell me all this because you're mad I left on Friday?" hooked Harry in disbelief.

"Of course not. It's so much more than this but Friday was the cherry on top. Best friends don't just ditch you" cleared Louis up.

"Like you ditched us on Saturday just to spend some time with Zayn although Saturday is our day and that for years? Any explanation for that?" countered Harry madly.

"Wasn't keen on seeing you" crossed Louis his arms over his chest.

"Because I only care about myself in your eyes, yeah?" tried Harry to stay calm.

"Because you changed and not for the better" stated Louis.

"I'm not the only one who changed but by now I'm not sure anymore if you really did or if you have just been a great actor for years" stood Harry his ground.

"I don't know what you mean" knitted Louis his eyebrows together.

"Why did you never tell me about Alec and that this is why Jake and you don't get along? Well, and because of that rivalry, I also didn't know about" asked Harry him impatiently.

"Jake told you about this, didn't he?" guessed Louis and Harry couldn't quite place the emotion in his voice.

"What do you think?" snorted Harry. "He felt bad because of that fight at your audition and somewhere along the way it slipped. Trust me, I was really shocked when he told me you rejected his friend last year without a reason and you never told me about it".

"I'm not even surprised he said I had no reason to reject Alec. Haz, of course, I had a reason. You know I don't just break someone's heart. I'm not cruel" sounded Louis kinda desperate.

"Oh yeah, right. I remember you said it wouldn't be a good idea. What a great reason" made Harry fun of him. Louis was being ridiculous and nothing he said was making it any better.

"It was a good reason. A couple on the team would be a horrible idea and I just wasn't interested in him. Should I just pretend to like him? Sorry that I don't fake feelings as other people do. Jake probably didn't tell you how he treated me afterwards, am I right? Ever mentioned his insults or the threats?" explained Louis his reasoning.

"Don't make up lies to make you look better. You fucked up and lied to me about it so that Jake had to tell me. Jake is not in the wrong here. It's you and all your lies" was Harry not having any of it.

"You think I'm lying to you? You really think I would make this up and be this dishonest? I thought you knew me" stepped Louis back in shock.

"I thought so too but looks like being dishonest is a character trait I didn't know about yet. Or why are you still lying to me about your crush even though I know the truth anyway?" looked Harry down at him, making Louis feel small on purpose because he knew he hated it.

"I didn't lie about that. It's impossible and ...".

"And what? Wrong? Yeah, you're right with that. Just admit that you're more fucked up than you want people to know and lying is your daily routine. That's probably why you can play my boyfriend so good, all possessive and stuff. Kinda annoying but as long as it works out. Maybe it could help your crush too if you stop being a coward and admit it" interrupted Harry him and got off-topic.

Louis just stared at him and swallowed visibly before he grabbed for his backpack and cleared his throat. "Soon you're out of this lie, Harry. Just throw yourself at him. And now I have to go. Javy is waiting for me".

Lightning fast, Louis sprinted out of the room and Harry just looked after him speechless. This argument was one of the only ones they ever had. If Louis would have been honest with him it would never have happened. Harry really wanted to get over with this fake dating shit. His longing for Jake was uncontrollable by now.

Thinking back about the said words, Harry realised that Louis still didn't admit to being into Zayn. He just left and their discussion wasn't over yet. Left to see Zayn. That thought made Harry furious. Louis was mad at him for choosing Jake over him but he wasn't any better, always being with Zayn and probably fucking with no end. Maybe Harry could catch them in the act.

Without thinking too much about it, Harry left the room as well and followed Louis' way until he had reached the locker room. Zayn had a badminton course and was presumably still in there. Slowing down his steps, Harry walked closer and faintly heard the voices of Louis and Zayn. Sounded like Louis was rambling, what he never did, and Zayn was trying to stop him. Didn't sound like sex yet. Maybe that meant he has been w ...

"And knowing that really fucking hurts, you know? I just can't do this anymore. I can't act like I'm good with it when I'm not but there's nothing I can do. It's not mutual and never was and never will be. That's pretty damn obvious. Don't know why I ever thought I could compete with ..." sounded Louis' voice through the door and Harry could hear that he was close to tears.

That never really happened. Louis never cried and Harry was utterly shocked. He leaned closer to the door, wanting to glance through the open crack, stumbling over his feet. He steadied himself and wondered why Louis was cut off so abruptly but he couldn't hear them talking anymore.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he lost his balance and crashed into the door. Zayn and Louis were kissing, not making out or anything. No, gently kissing each other with Zayn cupping Louis' face and Louis pulling Zayn closer by the waist. When they heard the door falling open they broke away in shock and stared at Harry, who almost fell down to the floor because he was that clumsy. The realisation of the fact that they have been caught was written on their faces, mostly Louis' face. Zayn was just looking at him with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Harry, what ...".

"Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt you" cut Harry Louis off, feeling bad for lying about this. "I um ... you just forgot something but um ... it doesn't matter. I gotta go".

Feeling dumb for stuttering this much, he quickly left the scene and stumbled out of the school building. The image of Louis and Zayn kissing was burnt into his brain. Something about this was disturbing him a lot but it shouldn't. Louis did exactly what Harry had wanted him to do. He grew a pair and told Zayn the truth about his feelings and seemingly, Zayn felt the same. Or Harry hoped he would and didn't just play him. Now Louis had the chance of being happy but why was that not sitting right with Harry?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, a Zouis kiss. Did you expect that? What does it mean?

Is Harry actually right with Louis liking Jonah?

Please, vote, my loves. <3 <3 <3
