Only you and me

Searching

Louis wakes up with his clothes still on. He has a whole day at work today and he is not ready for it. He gets himself up, grabs some clothes and goes straight to the bathroom. The shower feels nice, he feels numb, like he has a broken heart but he's not going to give into that. If he had the meeting today, he would have done it differently, say different things but it is done.

He gets out of the shower dresses in skinny jeans and a hoodie, not one he got from Harry, and goes to the kitchen to make breakfast. He makes a bowl of coco pops and a cup of tea; he watches a YouTube video while eating his breakfast alone. He is almost done when Zayn and Liam walk in.

"Morning babes" Zayn says while he ruffles Louis hair "expected you to skip work"

"Can't and I'm perfectly fine"

"You can skip a day Lou you're working all weekend and I think you're not fine" Zayn says while making tea.

"Yeah, I work all weekend because I have a whole week off, I need the money Zayn not everyone has parents like yours" He takes the last bite from his breakfast. "And don't make this a big deal, we had a business agreement, and it didn't work out. Nothing more" he stands up to put the bowl in the sink.

"Harry is not responding to any of us" Liam says

"I'm glad you guys get the same treatment" Louis says with a fake smile.

"Louis what happened last night?" Liam asks carefully

"I need to go and besides that it is something between me and Harry maybe that is why he isn't responding because it is not your business" And he walks out of the kitchen.

Work was shit, it was busy and there are a lot of tourists in this time of the year what makes it even more shit. He is glad he did something though, talking with people who don't know what is going on is nice. He probably looked like shit when he walked in, and he blamed it on the cold, and nobody doubted it. He is skating back home wearing Zayn's baseball jacket, but it is cold, and he regrets that he didn't grab his winter coat.

He hears voices when he walks through the front door and into the living room. Almost the whole munch gang is there, drinking beer and talking. "Hi mate, are you okay?" Niall asks.

Ugh he can't deal with this right now, he thought he would be home alone but suddenly Zayn and Liam are always home. "No, I hate tourists and I never want to make a coffee again. How are you Niall?" He says while he grabs the 'smoke blanket' and his pack of cigarettes.

"Not so good, we can't get a hold on Harry. Do you know where he is?" Niall asks

"Why are you asking me? I'm nothing to him, you're his friend so you should know" why is everyone so dramatic? "He has a security guard so I'm sure if something bad happened you guys would know" he says before he goes on the balcony.

He makes himself comfortable in the chair, he loves this place. The balcony looks out over a long street, it is soothing to just follow the lights of the cars when it is dark. When the first cigarette is gone, he looks inside, they are still sitting there, and it looks like they will for a while. He hopes they will go clubbing tonight so he is alone, and that Zayn stays over at Liam's. He lights another cigarette when someone comes on the balcony. "Luke says he left this morning with Jack" it is Liam's voice. "For a little holiday to Saint Tropez before he needs to celebrate Christmas with family"

"Liam I really don't care" Louis looks cold at Liam in the hope he gets the message.

He doesn't, "Harry never goes on Holiday, he even works on weekends. What happened Louis?"
