Chapter 26

"Nature. Makes the sneeze puts us in the infirmary. Nature" slammed Mr. Matthews his stick against the blackboard. Nature was written down on it in capital letters. 

"What's he got against nature? Isn't he running the nature club?" wondered Louis out loud, bis packed bag under his desk ready for the trip with Mr. Matthews.

"He's only running the nature club because it was either this or the ski club" pointed Zayn out. 

 "So why didn't he choose the ski club?" Liam wanted to know. 

"He can't run the ski club because of what happened at the Mount Sun Lodge when they were our age" explained Zayn knowingly. By now everyone has caught on the fact that Zayn knew Mr. Matthews and Mr. Cordon and that their connection was more than just teacher-student norm. It was okay for everyone and made the lessons more carefree and funnier. 

"Nature. The only place up there can kill you from. Nature" slammed Mr. Matthews his stick against the blackboard again and made a tiger hand movement. 

"What happened at Ski Lodge?" checked Harry interested. 

"A mountain girl kissed him" answered Zayn in a jokingly whisper. 

"I didn't kiss her back" hissed Mr. Matthews. 

"Nature" exclaimed Louis and slammed his hands down on his desk, earning a funny glare from his teacher. 

"This were very bad times for Cory and Topanga but everything's fine now except we can't ski ever or say ski or walk downhill," told Zayn the rest of them. Topanga was the wife of Mr. Matthews. Zayn had told his friends about that before. 

"So why is he so upset with nature?" asked Niall. 

"Guess where the hike is" grinned Zayn. 

"The Mount Sun Lodge" raised Eleanor a finger into the air. 

"Nature," said Mr. Matthews again but broke his stick this time, making half of it fall down on the floor. 

"What are you doing, Cory?" asked Zayn kinda worried. 

"The Ski Lodge was almost the end of Cory and Topanga, Britain's Sweethearts. And now I know something's gonna happen there for you too. So I'm preparing you for Nature". Mr. Matthews wanted to slam his stick against the blackboard again but remembered it was broken so he just threw the rest against it. 

"We're just going up to see the leaves change colour" shrugged Liam unbothered. 

"Nature puts on a great show and it wants to" added Harry with a smile. 

"Indeed Haz" agreed Louis. 

"The leaves seem to scream out" started Zayn happily. 

"Hey look at me" made Louis funny hand gestures. 

"You think I'm pretty" grinned Zayn. 

"But I'm actually dead" deadpanned Louis. 

"The preceding was brought to you by the Zouis corporation" explained Louis as if it was the most normal thing in the world. 

"Explaining big concepts with little words for you" completed Zayn the sentence, making his friends look at him with a grin. 

"Alright, before we go on the bus I wanna talk to you about the other kind of nature. The humankind" continued Mr. Matthews. 

"Here it comes" sighed Harry. 

"Oh, I've been on this kind of trip before," said Mr. Matthews dramatically and Louis made a weird face at this. "We made our plans. We had our blueprints. Well, you know what's gonna happen to all your little teenage plans? NOTHING". 

"WHY NOT?" slammed Niall his hands on his desk. 

"Because I'm gonna be your chaperon and I will be dogging you every step. Like a dog" pointed Mr. Matthews at himself. 

"What makes you think we're like that, Matthews?" asked Harry cheekily. 

"Should I really answer that question?" shot Mr. Matthews back. "There are obviously unsolved, suppressed and unspoken feelings in the air and they won't just die without talking about it". 

"Why do you have to" groaned Louis. 

"Bring that up" rolled Niall his eyes. 

"For" finished Harry their sentence. 

"Because those feelings are now going to the great outdoors so we are gonna need some great chaperons" reasoned Mr. Matthews his assumptions. 

"We got this completely under control, Matthews. My human nature is completely under control and there is nothing or nobody who could ever change that" was Louis sure of it. He was Sense after all. 

"Hey, Kiddies" walked a guy into the room. 

As Louis looked up he recognized him. It was the boy from the boat thing they were at. It was Josh. Louis laughed kinda funnily to himself and grinned like crazy. "I'm wrong". 

"Here we go" leaned Zayn his chin down on his propped up hands as he saw Harry's reaction.

"You're my chaperon?" asked Louis in a voice that sounded like he was drunk. 

"I invited him" stepped a woman into the room too. It was Topanga Matthews. 

"I love you" addressed Louis her, making Zayn and Niall chuckle. 

"I'm coming too," told Topanga them. 

"I invited her. I'm smart" stated Cory like a little boy.

"Well, we're watching over you". 

"Okay" was Louis now definitely okay with it. 

"My name is Josh and I'll be with you all day and all night so no monkey business" introduced Josh himself to the class. Hearing that Louis started to made cute little monkey noises, earning a smile from Josh.

"Tommo, how did you fall off the bus?" chuckled Zayn as the walked into the ski lodge with Louis and Liam. 

"Who does that?" wondered Liam out loud. 

"Nobody," said Mr. Matthews weirdly. Zayn just gave them a look, saying this happened back then too. 

"Oh, a bay window. Bay window right now" spotted Louis a great place to sit by the window and Zayn and Liam helped him sit down with his injured foot. 

"Lauren did not age well. Just saying" they heard Topanga say and saw how she looked at an old woman by a desk. Cory just gave her a funny look. 

"Hey, did anyone else beg Mr. Matthews nature lecture was completely pointed at us?" asked Niall his friends. 

"Isn't everything?" sighed Louis defeated. 

"I mean yeah kind of but he was right in some way. You guys need to talk" advised Liam him. 

"There's no need to talk. Everything is the same. Nothing changed" waved Louis the matter off. 

"Yeah except one other thing". At that moment Josh walked into the lodge and Zayn threw Louis a certain look, which only caused Louis to roll his eyes at his friend. 

"Josh is just a nice stranger. You don't go out with a stranger even if he looks like a fucking prince. What's the matter with you?" snapped Louis weirdly at Zayn. 

"Yeah I'm real messed up" snorted Zayn. 

"Not anyone can have a perfect boyfriend already" huffed Louis causing Zayn to slap his shoulder and Liam to blush.  

"When's the first nature hike, dream boo?" approached Eleanor Josh with wiggling eyebrows, Harry and Niall behind her. 

"Eleanor! Do you even know who this is?" exclaimed Niall angrily. 

"He's Louis' Boing" shrugged Eleanor. 

"His what?" asked Harry perplexed. 

"You know some kind of a hot fantasy you don't really go out with but want to" explained Eleanor, making Harry's face change. 

"Then why would you call him dream boo?" frowned Niall. 

"Look at him" pointed Eleanor at Josh's perfect face. He just looked weirdly at them. 

"Okay welcome to Mount Sun Lodge. Topanga and I are gonna help you check-in. We are here to turn our thoughts away from our indoor relationships and towards our relationship with the outdoors" welcomed Josh all of them to their trip. 

"Yeah, I don't think so, Couples Scout" patted Zayn him on the shoulder after he had walked over to them, pointing at a sign by the door. 

Now all of them including Cory and Topanga looked at the sign with the different hikes and stuff and they froze. Then they looked around and realized that only couples were all around them. "You brought them here on Couple's Weekend?". Topanga couldn't believe it. 

"Of course I did" cursed Cory himself. 

"Nature Sez: Tree's a crow" read Harry on the sign. 

"Moonlight walk, feelings trail" read Eleanor the other line on the sign. 

"Louis, Harry, Niall. Enough already. Ha" wrote Zayn down on the sign himself and made everyone shut up and leave for their room to get settled in. 

---

Because Louis' foot was still hurt he had to stay at the lodge for the first hike. The whole time he was sitting next to the window and looked out of the window. His thoughts were going wild. He knew everyone around him was right and he should talk with Harry about his feelings for him but he couldn't risk their newfound friendship to die already. He wouldn't risk things going back to the way they were before just because he went with his heart and not his head. 

A bit later his class came back from the hike and as Louis saw his friends walking in with Josh and Harry looking kinda upset Louis knew something had happened. Immediately he tried to stand up and stumble over to them.

"How was it? Did something happen?".

"Oh just like you think. Niall went off the trail. Harry broke the rules right after" summed Liam up the whole hike. 

"Haz, you broke the rules?" frowned Louis. 

"Yeah, he always breaks the rules but this time he could have been killed. It's like you never know when to stop" said Liam disappointedly. 

"Niall". 

"He saved my life" stated Niall to clear things up. 

"Wait, what happened?" was Louis now confused. 

"I was chasing a rare sphinx moth for my collection" started Niall his story. 

"I have one," remarked Eleanor. 

"He was flying around like he was taunting me and no one taunts Nial" continued Niall, getting restless. "I grabbed him out of the air, looked him in the eye and said: I come on. I can mine". 

"Now tell them what really happened, Honey" stroked Eleanor Niall's back. 

"He tricked me. He flew over there and I went after him and slipped off the edge of the trail. I was hanging on by a tree branch, hanging by my fingertips" admitted Niall ashamed. 

"Harry tears off jumps up and saves him" added Eleanor. 

"What were you doing?" turned Louis now around to Josh. 

"I was saving Eleanor" crossed Josh his arms over his chest. 

"What happened to you?". 

"I was all 'help Josh, help'" imitated Eleanor herself from earlier. 

"All while Niall was hanging from a tree?" raised Louis an eyebrow at her. 

"No, every chance I get" winked Eleanor at him, meaning she was just joking around. 

"Come on, Lone Star. You're not really mad at me. You like it when we tangle and do stupid stuff. That's what you all like about me. You just don't wanna admit it" nudged Harry Liam's side slightly. 

"No, it's not, Harry. I don't think it is" said Liam sternly. 

After this statement it was silent. Josh went his ways and Liam and Eleanor also just left, leaving Harry, Louis, Niall and Zayn alone at the window. The boys sat back down and an orange leave flew through the window. Harry picked it up and just looked at it. 

"You okay?" tilted Louis his head aside to have a better look at Harry. 

"Oh yeah. Just that leaf got blown in. Have you ever seen a colour like this?" handed Harry him the leaf. Louis took it carefully and smiled at Harry. 

"Yeah, you kinda wearing the same colour right now" snorted Niall and ruined the moment. "Sorry for ruining whatever you were doing but all this crap has to stop right now". 

"What do you mean?" frowned Harry oblivious. 

"Feelings, my dear boy. Didn't you listen to anything Cory told us?" tapped Niall Harry's forehead. 

"I didn't really felt addressed. No idea who he was talking about" shrugged Harry unchanged. 

"There's something stronger in the air now. Seasons change. It's nature. Nature knows it's time for this crap to stop" threw Zayn in. 

"You really think Nature is gonna help us?" wondered Louis. Zayn just nodded at him. 

"Help us with what?" was Harry still confused. 

"Oh Boy" sighed Niall. Without another word, the four of them stood up and walked over to the living area of the lodge. Eleanor and Liam were sitting near the fireplace on a sofa. 

"So, those feelings have to die or talked through. Let's start with you, Tommo" grabbed Niall Louis by the shoulders and turned him towards Harry. 

With big eyes, Louis stared at Harry who looked utterly confused but before Louis was doomed to say something Josh came back into the room with DVDs in his hands. "Movie Night" announced Josh cheerfully. 

"Movie Night" repeated Louis his words and walked over to the fireplace. 

"Coward" chorused Niall and Zayn. 

"We have a lot of choices here so any wishes?" asked Josh all of them. 

"How about two friends being madly in love but being too stupid to talk about it which causes everyone around them physical pain?" suggested Zayn with a smirk.

"Sounds stupid" commented Harry on the idea. 

"Believe me, it really is" threw Zayn him a meaningful look. 

"Or just something plain brutal with lots of death and no feelings" tried Louis to save his ass.

"In my one is death too due to their stupidity". 

"So feelings leading to death with you and death without feelings with you. No other choices?" concluded Liam. 

"Believe me, the story of your lives is better than anything we got here" chuckled Josh and put the DVDs away. 

"Well, then why don't you just picture your story out for us? Could be interesting" suggested Eleanor with an evil glint in her eyes. Louis hated all of his friends right now. 

"Okay, here's mine" clapped Zayn into his hands before he started to talk. "Imagine the situation: Two boys around our age, kinda friends but not really because they're crushing on each other but none of them is saying anything. It's bloody obvious to everyone around them, even strangers but one of them, let's call him Will, has decided to ignore his feelings and go with his head, that is telling him to keep his feelings to himself because it would ruin their newfound friendship and he doesn't have a chance anyway. So like this, he lives on in pure pain without saying a word and watching his crush from afar.  This goes on like this for a long time, so long that he forgets his own life and becomes lonely even though he had other people hitting on him. One day his crush meets a beautiful girl, that changes everything. He falls in love with her and abandons his friends. Will breaks down even more and has barely a reason left to live but he keeps going on for the love of his life who is in love with someone else. But this changes the moment the other boy gets engaged to that girl and asks Will to be his best man and plan the wedding with him. The parts of his heart and soul that were left are smashed in this very moment but of course, he agrees. He plans the perfect wedding and is the perfect best man for his friend. After they're married, Will sneaks out with some alcohol and wanders through the dark night. He stumbles alongside a cliff and with the thought of his best friend kissing his now-wife he jumps off the cliff and ends his life. The End". 

Everyone around was hypnotized by what Zayn was telling them. At the end of it, they had tears in their eyes and Louis just wanted to disappear right there. He didn't dare to look over at Harry right now. 

"Wow, that was intense" breathed Josh out. 

"And I'm not done yet. There's a second one if you all want to hear it". Everyone wanted to hear Zayn's second story and was now staring at him. 

"In this scenario, our main character is called Ed. He's a former womanizer who has started to change due to a certain person, his crush. He was so overwhelmed with these new feelings that he didn't know how to act on them. Also, he never thought his crush could possibly like him back because he had made his life a living hell but little did he know that wasn't as impossible as he thought. All those butterflies in his stomach made him sick and his past was haunting him. Never did he thought he could have true love in his life. He was only used to pure lust without feelings but this one guy never left his mind. Instead of actually talking about it he just kept telling himself it would go away which lead to not so rare arguments between them that made no fucking sense. As the months and years passed on Ed's crush was over his feelings for him because he decided to give other boys a chance like that very handsome Scout they met someday. They hit it off pretty well and Ed wasn't liking it. Jealousy was written on his forehead. Now would have been the time to talk about his feelings to save something but he didn't do it. He kept making bitchy comments and pushed his crush away from him. One day they got into a heated argument about literally nothing. Ed's crush ran outside and was done with his shit. They kept screaming and arguing until Ed had enough and just left. His feelings were swallowing him and he fell off a cliff and died. The End". 

"Why do they always die by jumping or falling off a cliff?" wondered Josh amused. 

"That's more dramatic and idiotic. Suits them" shrugged Zayn and Josh could only agree with that. 

"So in both situations, they die because they don't talk honestly about their feelings?" checked one of their classmates. 

"Exactly. Talking is the key here" confirmed Zayn. 

"But where's the use in talking if it only ruins everything?" questioned Louis. 

"We can control what happens, right?" asked Harry kinda scared. 

"Actually, this brings up an interesting question. Who is in control of your life?" spoke Mr. Matthews up, who was leaning against the wall. 

"I am. Now go to bed" ordered Topanga, who was standing next to him. 

Automatically everybody stood up and went into their rooms. In front of the stairs, Harry and Louis stopped for a second. "Lou, you want help up the stairs?" offered Harry. 

"Not really tired yet. Is it okay if I stay awake for a bit?" asked Louis Topanga and Cory. 

"Just a bit. Good Night, boys" smiled Topanga at them. 

Louis smiled one last time at Harry before he went over to the bay window and sat down while Harry went upstairs. He looked up at the sky and took out the leaf Harry had given to him earlier. Was it really worth the shot? Would it be a good idea to confess his feelings to Harry? Louis really needed Nature to give him an answer. 

Suddenly the door to the lodge opened and a brunette boy stepped inside. He looked like he was cold in his orange jacket as he walked over to the reception and put his things down. Their gazes met for a second before Louis quickly looked away and back up at the sky. 

After a while, the boy came walking over to him with two hot chocolates in his hands and smiled down at Louis. "You're a Nigh Chief?" were his first words to Louis. 

"Um no. I was just looking at the sky for a while" smiled Louis up at him. 

"Okay, but could you take one of these anyway because hot" handed the boy Louis one of the hot chocolates and sat down next to Louis. "I really like the sky from down here. It's so clear. In London, you can't see the sky like this".

"Too much ambient probably, right?" hooked Louis knowingly. 

"Yeah. I tell you a secret. When everybody else went upstairs that's when I sit right there where you are and just watch the sky too" told the boy him. 

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" found Louis himself enjoying the guy's presence. 

"Yeah, and it goes all night" agreed the boy. 


----------------------A/N-------------------------------------

So, what did you guys think? This is actually almost completely the same as an episode from a show I really love, just changed up for the storyline. That's why Josh appeared in the first place. I needed him here and he will be important maybe in the future.

Question of the Chapter: What was all of this even about?

Please vote and comment on what you think. It would mean the world to me <3 <3<3

(That's how the living area and the bay window look like down there)
