Chapter 22 Look

Louis's Pov

Me and Liam were walking around the campus, looking at all the buildings and the huge stack of applications Liam piled upon both of us. Well, I wasn't really looking at them, Liam was, trying to decide what sciences classes he should take even though he's majoring in medical sciences.

I let him stew over the papers, taking in my own sight seeing while he scrambled behind me. We each pointed out different things, like hangout spots we'd like, or making note of where Zayn's classes were on a map so he'd know too.

"Look, Louis, which class should I take? I want to take astrology but then I won't be able to take biology for my minor and I really-" Liam rambled and I quickly cut him off because this was his second time bringing this up to me.

"Listen, Liam, I know you want take astrology or whatever but focus on your major, lad," I chuckled. "You're stressing yourself out way too much."

Liam sighed, finally looking away from the applications for the classes he's looking over. "Fine, you're right, you're right but I just can't help but-"

"I know, Payno, but breathe!" I laughed, patting the man on the back as he shook his head but took a deep breath to calm himself. I swear I was getting stressed out from looking at him.

Silence fell upon us again through our second, and last, lap around the campus grounds but it was quickly interrupted by my phone ringing loudly, making Liam jump.

I laughed at him and he gave me a playful glare before going back to reading.

Checking the ID, quickly I picked up seeing as it was Harry.

"Hazza, whats wrong?" I answered and waited, hearing noises and voices coming through. I stopped to focus on the noises but it sounded very muffled. Liam bumped into me and stopped as well, giving me a questioning brow but I waved at him to wait a second.

I could only hear one sentence and it was so clear and cold...

You are not my son...

My eyes widened in horror and confusion by the man's voice and what he meant. Quickly I put the phone on speaker and motioned Liam to be quiet. He gave me a curious look but quickly that changed once he saw my own face.

"Harry, whats happening?" I asked, making eye contact with an equally confused Liam.

"Louis, please, I need your help," Harry's voice came through in a fearful whisper. I heard some rustling before everything suddenly came to a stop.

The air was quiet and I felt as if me and Liam weren't even breathing too.

Suddenly, there was a crash and a piercing scream. I flinched away from the phone, my eyes snapping to Liam who also flinched.

"Harry, what-" my voice was shaky but a loud voice cut me off.

"Get over here!"

And it was one that snapped me into gear. I broke into a jog, holding my phone carefully to listen with Liam close behind me. I could hear Harry crying but the sound was muffled and sounded far away.

"Get away from me!" Harry cried out and over the speaker, there was a ton of crashing and rustling as Harry was surely trying to get away but his father was after him.

"Call Zayn," I said to Liam, still keeping an ear on the fight that was going on. "We've gotta get there and get there quick."

Liam didn't even say a word before whipping his phone out and dialing the number.

"Louis, please-" Harry was sobbing. I could hear thundering footsteps, making me know he was running down the stairs, hopefully to make it out of the house.
