《The Ballet Shoes》Secrets and Lies
Advertisement
Harry walked into the dorm alone and wet. He was still flashing back to the kiss over and over. Liam noticed the actions of Harry.
"Why are you all wet?" Liam asked from his desk.
"Got caught in the rain." I motioned towards the window lying.
I pull off my soaked jacket throwing it in the hamper. I change my pants before sitting on my bed.
"That shop was closed that I wanted to go get food at so I went to another." I ramble.
Liam rolls his eyes. Liam knew something was up, something he wanted to know. Harry's lips were swollen and he is acting like a school girl would if the hottest guy in school suddenly asked her out. Liam was going to find out one way or the other. He was aggravated and wanted answers.
"Closed ay? Why your lips so red and swollen?" Liam arched a brow at Harry.
Harry fixed his pillow so he could see Liam.
"My lips have always had that fullness to them Payne, why are you paying attention so closely to me?" Harry pushed it further.
Liam didn't know a thing, Harry wanted to tell him but he was afraid.
"You are acting off usually when you get caught in the rain you come back complaining because your hair gets all mess-" Harry cut him off.
"He kissed me." he hides his face in his hands.
"Who did?" Liam scrunched his brows paying full attention to Harry now.
Harry bit his lip nervously and swallowed.
"Louis..." his name rolled off Harry's tongue.
Liam's mouth fell open in shock. Liam didn't know if he just said Louis or not but he was pretty sure he did. Liam was a little confused.
"D-did you say Louis?" Liam stuttered.
Harry sat up nodding to which Liam shook his head.
Harry looked down.
"I don't know what happen, I never in a million years imagined me doing that."
Liam crossed over to him sitting next to him on his bed patting his back assuringly.
"You kissed him?" he questions softly.
"Well more like he did me, but I stopped him from leaving then he just pulls me into a kiss." Harry says.
"Why didn't you tell me first hand about it? Its not like you ended up in bed with him." Liam says with a shrug.
"I was afraid." Harry shrugged looking at his best friend apologetically.

"Just be careful yeah? Don't let him fool you." Liam clapped his hand on my back standing up.
He grabbed his shower things and left. He was getting ready for the party tonight at Louis' frat house. Something in me wanted me to go to that party just to go and see him.... but partying wasn't my thing. My phone buzzed getting my attention.
You coming to the party tonight?
I replied immediately.
I don't do parties....
I didn't trust myself enough to go to that party Louis was the reason for that. Between drinking and him something would happen. I could bring a bottle of water and perhaps chat a bit just be casual about it...
No Harry thought never mind. I'll just go to the studio for a while. He grabbed his bag for the studio and was on his way. He didn't have his favorite wrap anymore cause unfortunately Louis ripped it and Harry was still mad about that.
When he reached the studio he could hear faint music from one of the dance rooms. Who could be here? Harry walked quietly and cautiously in case it was an intruder. He stopped dead in his tracks staring at what he saw through the crack of the door.
Louis was in ballet leggings, and normal top. He was wearing simple ballet attire. Harry wanted to barge right in and demand to know why he claimed to hate ballet but stand in the middle of a studio.
Harry was mad at this so he stormed off knocking over a rack in the process sure Louis heard this cause not long after his voice echoed through the room stopping Harry in his tracks.
"Harry?" Louis said softly.
Harry had tears in his eyes he didn't dare turn to look at the boy behind him.
"You pick on me for what I love, then all along you have been doing it yourself." Harry said in a low sad voice.
Louis put his hand on Harry's back gently to which Harry tensed and got out of his touch.
"I'm sorry." Louis sad sadly.
"Sorry?" Harry finally turned around.
"Forget it then Harry." Louis through his hands up walking back to the room.
"No!" Harry snapped following him into the room.
Harry wasn't sure why he chased Louis back in the room. What exactly was it that was pulling Harry to Louis. Every part of Harry should of hated him, but something pulled him.

"Stop running and hiding from me." Harry cried.
"I can't help it." Louis sat on the floor bringing his knees to his chest.
"Why can't you? What's stopping you?" Harry pushed.
"Go Harry just please go." Louis said lowly.
"Yeah okay I'll go. You are a damn coward." Harry said before running out the building straight to his car.
He was going to the party.
The party was crowded it smelled of alcohol and sweat. Harry searched the crowd for Niall or Liam. Someone offered him a cheap beer he took it but didn't drink it.
Liam came up behind him clapping him on the back making Harry slosh beer onto his shirt.
"Liam you scared me." Harry said over the music.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Liam half slurred.
"Where's Niall?" Harry questioned still scanning the room.
It was now 9:30 at night surely he was drunk some where already. Harry looked down at his cup and back at Liam. A small smile playing on his lips. He still was surprised Louis hadn't came chasing after him. Harry never drank but once in his life. Before he could stop himself he drank half his cup. Cringing at the taste.
Liams mouth fell to the floor in shock.
"Harold what you doing? Stop drinking." Liam said taking his cup from him.
"Don't take my drink. I'm learning to live a little." Harry swiped his cup back chugging the rest of the beer down.
Liam put his hands up.
"How did you even get here?" Liam questioned.
"I drove. Did you know Louis dances?" Harry said moving into the crowd in search of something stronger to drink.
"Is that what this is about?" Liam questioned following him through the crowd.
"You didn't answer my question." Harry said finding a stronger drink and taking a sip cringing at the taste at first.
"Yes I did." Liam said guilty.
"Some friend you are, all the while you knew," Harry points a finger into Liams chest "you let him pick on me, for something he was? This is a load of bullshit. Leave me alone!"
With that Harry turned on his heel disappearing into the crowd yet again but Liam didn't follow.
Hours later Harry was totally drunk. The base of the music thrummed through his chest like a drum. He hung around a group of people he didn't know. They all wanted to play spin the bottle. Harry obliged taking another sip out of his drink. They sat in a small circle using an old beer bottle.
"Alright here the rules whoever the bottle lands on when you spin it you have to kiss or touch the person next to you." said one of them.
They all agreed.
"I'll go firssst." Harry slurred.
Harry spun the bottle and it landed on some punk girl. Her hair was blue, her makeup a horrible dark color and she had piercings here and there. Her clothes had holes, her shorts were really short, her shirt cut low revealing a lot of cleavage. She leaned in for the kiss. Harry leaned in giving her a small proper kiss before they both leaned back for the next turn.

"Liam where's Harry?" Louis said finding him in the crowd only after coming in.
"I don't know." he shrugged sipping his drink.
"What do y-" Louis stopped when he saw his familiar face in the small circle on the floor he was leaning in to the guy in front of him.
Louis walked over practically jerking Harry up from the circle. He didn't want this to be cause of him. It was bad enough he made him drink, now kiss complete and total strangers. The group Harry was with were total trash. Even Louis disliked them all.
Louis led Harry outside throwing his drink in the yard. Harry was by any means shit-faced.
"Let's go Harry." Louis said hooking an arm around his waist.
"But I want to parttyyy." Harry whined.
"Well you have enough for the both of us." Louis said taking him to his car fishing out Harry's keys from his pants.
Louis put Harry in the car and drove him back to the dorm. Where he played hell getting a half asleep drunk Harry up the steps. Eventually he made it to his dorm and layed him on his bed. He took of his shoes, and shirt but he wouldn't dare take of his pants, he didn't want Harry to think he took advantage of him.
Louis covered him up.
"I'm sorry again Harry," he whispered against his head "I love you...." he sealed that with a kiss to his forehead.
Louis went to Liams bed and layed down he wasn't going to leave Harry while he was like this.

The Adventures Of Heegan, Bleegan, Hoogan, and Bloogan: The Search For The Enchanted Toad Of Delarmir
This is a tale of four young goblin brothers, whose adventures and calamities are told as legends and jokes throughout the land. But they were first inspired by legends they heard, before ascending into one themselves; a reminder that simple beginnings can be the start of something great. Written for my D&D 5e party after they demanded I write an actual story about a children's book they found in one of our sessions, so I wrote it as it would appear in game as a childrens story. I took a very different approach on writing it, so do not be too disappointed when you find out it's not written at first grade reading level. Feedback is much appreciated, as I have never produced anything like this and I do hope I manage to entertain at least a few of you. New chapter releases to be within 3-5 days of one another (Work is now complete, do not expect new chapters).
