Save Me and I'll Save You L.S

Chapter 15

A/N Heyy, so school is starting again in a few days for me so I just wanted to say that updates will be slightly less frequent, I'll do my best though! And also this has had over 300 reads now! 

Louis 

Louis is awoken by rolling onto the other side of a cold mattress. It takes him a moment to realise that this is Harry's bed but Harry isn't there. This leaves him with a weird feeling knowing that he slept alone, had he been mistaken thinking that the previous night had meant something? Because it sure felt like he had meant something to Harry, in that moment it had felt like Harry had cared. But then again Louis had been distracting Harry, maybe thats all it was to Harry another distracting hookup. Now Louis was worried was he not meant to have fallen asleep and stayed the night? Fuck. Harry probably didn't want him to stay over. But Louis still hadn't forgotten Harry's words from the previous morning, I'm all yours Lou, I'll be whatever you need I just need to have you in my life. Harry was really fucking good at giving mixed signals. Louis decided to be optimistic for a change, maybe Harry was simply making them both breakfast he couldn't have left Louis all alone. He couldn't have Louis was starting to need  Harry.   

However, much to Louis's disappointment when he enters Harry's kitchen it is empty, along with every other room in the apartment. While walking past the kitchen table a note catches Louis's attention, 'feel free to let yourself out. -H". Louis glares at the note as it brings back unwanted memories of Zayn and how he left Louis a similar note when he moved out. He was angry at himself for thinking that Harry wasn't the same stuck up brat he'd always been, he was mad that Niall was in Ireland, and he was starting to feel like he had given more to the world than it gave back to him. 

Louis stomped out of the apartment after grabbing his few things from the living room, and once again returned home to his empty apartment. He didn't want to spend the rest of his break lying around feeling sorry for himself. It felt like all he did was mope around waiting for people, for Zayn to call with a job, for Harry to come back from god knows where, for Niall to get back from seeing his family. His family. Fuck Louis missed his sisters and his mother, but he couldn't face seeing them he didn't want them to see what he was doing with his life, which was nothing. Rubbing his eyes aggressively Louis decided that he had to actually start living, he didn't know where the small burst of motivation had appeared from but he wanted to hold onto that. He was better than Harry, and he sure as hell wasn't going to contact Harry again after the way he had treated him. Louis was done with Harry. 

/ / / / (this is to break up the timeline cause I don't want this dragging out <3 )

The last few weeks of holiday Louis had made great progress in his life, he had finally managed to get off of his ass and do something for himself, not for school, not for Zayn, not for Harry, but himself. Louis didn't want to rely on other people to keep him afloat financially, Niall had been paying the rent since he had moved in with Louis. Sure, it was nothing to Niall if he really wanted to he could afford a place way nicer than Louis's rundown flat, but he still chose to stay. So Louis was determined to start paying his half of the rent, and although Niall had protested at first he gave in once Louis declared that he was going to get a job. 

That is what Louis did. He had spent hours upon hours scrolling through job advertisements online and had made a list of places within walking distance that were hiring. Luckily for him he still had an old resume from high school that he edited and updated, it wasn't amazing but it would do. Louis's list consisted of the movie theatre, grocery store, a few local restaurants, some random cafe, and the liquor store. Louis was basically 21, he was 99% sure that he wouldn't be allowed to step foot in the store, but still it was worth a shot. 

Places he was applying for like the restaurants, movie theatre, and grocery store all required his resume to be emailed. He opted for that option first because it meant less awkward social interaction, he heard back from all of the places nearly immediately and none of them were still hiring. Fucking idiots leaving their advertisements up. However, Louis was still determined to not let Niall keep paying rent and he wanted a more stable job than dealing for Zayn. So this meant that now Louis was forced to venture out into the actual world to search for a job. It was fine though because he still had a few places left on his list.
