alrighty so i apologize for any errors, i wrote this over the cores of two day and i haven’t really read through it all the way yet but i needed to post it today so here it is.

Also a MASSIVE thankyou to @No_One_Important for making the cover! i absolutely love it and it is the second one she has made me. So go read her stories, I’ve tooken the time to read a few and they’re fabulous :D

Louis POV

I woke up feeling guilty. It wasn’t until I had fully awoken that I remembered Harry. It was cold last night and he was alone on the streets. He hadn’t taken my offer and I don’t blame him. It’s hard for me to trust people, but for some reason I had trusted him, a druggie from the streets, to come to my home. Maybe he isn’t a druggie. He looked so scared when I had caught him. There’s something about him that I can’t quite put my finger on, but I do know that he is better than he thinks he is.

I rolled over in my bed to look at the clock. 7:34am. I groaned at how early it was and pulled the covers back intently regretting it.  The icy air hit my frail, half naked body and I wanted nothing more than to crawl back in bed but I had to meet Harry at the diner. He didn’t specified the exact time so I guessed somewhere around 8:00am would be suitable.

I slipped my boxers off and hopped into the steaming shower. The water enveloped me into such great warmth that I could just stand there forever, but I knew I couldn’t. I washed my hair and body then braced myself for the cold I would experience when I stepped out of the shower.

I slowly drew the curtain back and reached for my towel, wrapping it around my body like I used to when I was a kid. I stalked over to the built in heater in the bathroom, cursing at myself for not turning it on before I got into the shower, and flipped the switch. I stood there shivering for about 2 minutes until the room started to heat up and I could remove the towel from my, now dry, body.

I ran the towel trough my hair drying it the best I could. Then I wrapped it around my waist and left the warmth of the bathroom to go get clothes. I wasn’t sure why, but I wanted to show Harry I didn’t always dress like a “Gay”. I went to the back of my closet and pulled out my old ‘Cage the Elephant’ shirt and some black skinny jeans. Maybe the black leather jacket was a bit much but the white shirt made up for it… kind of. I laughed at how hard I was trying as I tied the laces on my vans.

Once I was dressed I decided to just wear a beanie, not in the mood to deal with my hair. As I grabbed my keys and wallet I glanced at the time; 8:02am. I assume that’s good enough timing, and with that I make my way to the diner.

Harry’s POV

I hadn’t slept to well last night. The nights are getting colder and I don’t even have a proper blanket. I could steal one but I really don’t want to go back to my old ways. I’ve been awake for quite some time and decide to go wait outside the diner and wait for it to open. I think it opens at 8:00am so by the time I get there I’ll only have to wait about 10 minutes.

I get up from my make-shift bed on the concrete under the bridge and dust myself off. I haven’t ever really cared how I looked but when I thought about Louis seeing me in the same clothes from yesterday I felt embarrassed. Maybe I should run to the storage locker and change. Yeah that’s a good idea I think to myself and head towards “Sally’s Storage”. I grow most of the marijuana there so I try not to be seen going in and out on a regular basis.

Once Im at my locker I open it up and go inside, heading straight to the back where I keep my suitcase. I decide on an old Pink Floyd tee and some black skinny jeans. I don’t have a jacket but the walk from here to the diner isn’t long. I slip my white converse back on and lock up my locker.
