Louis's cuts had started fading.
He actually cried tears of joy when he took off his shirt to take a bath, and actually decided to look down at his arms, they were actually fading. He was doing it, he was becoming stronger. He hasn't had a panic attack since the last time, and that was ages ago.
He believed firmly that the group chat helped that. At least one of them was always on, any hour of the day (because of Zayn's insomnia, usually one of them pulled an all nighter with Zayn, so he wouldn't be alone.), so there was always something to talk to. Instead of horrible thoughts, something about those damn idiots always occupied his thoughts like:
I wonder if Niall is actually going to find that girl and go on a date. Probably.
How's Harry's job going to go?
Why is Zayn so attractive, how is it legal for anyone to be that attractive.
And maybe the most important,
What's wrong with Liam?
Louis knew something was definitely off about Liam. He hadn't been talking to the chat too often as of late, and he had always been quieter. And way back when (like, four months ago) they were all talking about their "problems" Liam said he didn't want to talk about himself, or something like that.
Louis knew he had something.
start open chat with payno?
lou: Liam what's wrong
Louis put his phone to the side, sighing softly then continuing to strip for the shower.
