We live in cities you'll never see on-screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team
~~~~~
Louis huffed opening the car back door and slumping down before he closed the door and laid down
"Where to?"
Louis waved around his middle finger "Screw you Liam. You know where"
Liam laughed and nodded before he started to drive
Liam gave Louis a pillow and Louis hugged it and kept his eyes closed
"Thanks for picking me up...." Louis mumbled
Liam shrugged "Don't I always??"
Louis smiled tiredly then laid on his back "Did you see your family this weekend?"
Liam stayed quiet then nodded, giving Louis a small smile "Yeah.... We had lunch"
Louis rubbed his eyes "Happy to hear, I still don't understand why you moved out"
Liam chuckled "It's my job Lou, I preferred to live alone... Just in case"
Louis raised both eyebrows "You bring people over?? Alone?? In your apartment?!"
Liam laughed "Noooo!! I just prefer it that Way, that way I am not costing my parents so much than they signed up for"
Louis chuckled "Moved out since you were 16, living the life of an almost Millionaire"
Liam looked at Louis through the rear-view mirror and smiled
"If I ever die, they go to you"
Louis laughed with his first-hand his chest
"Nothing will ever happen to you Liam"

Harry ran into school, almost slipped if Zayn has not caught him
"Ok there?"
Harry sighed and stood up before he dropped his face against Zayn's shoulder
"Landon cheated on me after the game yesterday"
Zayn blinked and gently pushed Harry off "I told you so H, I don't understand why you don't listen"
Harry sighed and took his papers from Zayn
"I don't need to hear that from you Zee...."
Zayn sighed looking at the papers then at Harry "Cmon, I will help you with.... You work"
Harry smiled weakly "Will you??"
Zayn nodded, they heard cheering and at first Harry thought it was for the football team
But then he turned around and saw Louis standing there smiling as he got pats on his back
Harry frowned and turned to Zayn
"What happened there?"
Zayn looked at Harry "I don't know if you know, but Louis plays the piano, and there was this competition yesterday, and he made it through"
Harry's eyes shot up "He did??"
Zayn nodded "He's actually pretty good...."
"How do I not know that??"
Zayn sighed "Landon doesn't like him"
Harry frowned "Why??"
Zayn looked at Harry "H, he was your ex. I do not know, Landon just never liked him"
Harry turned to Louis who was now laughing and smiled
"His laughter is contagious"
Zayn rolled his eyes and turned to walk away and Harry rushed after him
"Don't. Use. Louis. As. Your. Rebound"
~~~~~
Louis was walking while looking into his music book when he bumped into someone
"I'm so sorry!! I don't know what's wrong with me today"
Their eyes met and Louis smiled seeing a frustrated looking Harry "Hi Harry"
Harry's eyebrows shot up as he met Louis' eyes "You know my name?"
Louis shrugged "If course I do"
Harry's head tilted to the side "How?"
Louis' smile fell "We were friends...." Harry looked confused and Louis sighed
"Do you really not remember me??"
Harry slowly shook his head "No.... Sorry" Harry shrugged
Louis blinked, then sighed and picked up his music book "See you around Harry...."
~~~~~
Liam was talking to Zayn when Louis grabbed his arm and started to walk
Liam quickly gave Zayn an apologetic smile and looked at Louis "That was rude"
Louis slumped against a wall in an empty hall and they both sat on the floor "Harry doesn't remember me"
Liam frowned "He doesn't?" Louis shook his head "Lou, I'm-"
Louis shook his head and waved Liam off "I'm fine I just needed to let that set in" Liam nodded and Louis raised an eyebrow "What's going on between you and Zayn?"
"Hopefully, nothing as I wouldn't really like to share my boyfriend"
Liam and Louis both laughed and smiled
"Isaac!!"
Isaac sat on the floor and looked between both "What did I miss?"
"Louis' childhood crush doesn't know he exists" "Liam saying he hates your guts"
Isaac put a hand on his heart "How can you?! I am-"
Liam rolled his eyes and shoved him away "Shove the word boyfriend up your arse Isaac"
Louis laughed when Isaac pouted, he (Louis) pulled Isaac closer and hugged him
"You'll find your person someday Isaac"
Isaac smiled, rested his head on Louis shoulder and met his eyes
"Is it you?"
Louis rolled his eyes and hit the back of Isaac's head
