A high school Catastrophe

Chapter 4

"Shit. Shit. Shit." Louis paces for a few seconds before looking to a very amused Niall. "What?" Louis snaps a little, glances out the window again as he groans.

Niall laughs and shakes his head as he pulls a hoodie over his head. "I've never in my life seen you this distraught. It's kind of entertaining."

Louis flips him off as he plops down in the bi go arm chair by window, sighing loudly. He brings his hands up to his face and rubs them up and down, whining as he does.

"Niall." Louis whines. "I really don't want to deal with this shit right now, okay? Please, for once, help me out instead of make fun of me." Louis pouts. Niall rolls his eyes as he makes his way over to Louis. He cups his hands on Louis' face and smiles.

"Mate, when have I ever let you down?" Louis breaths a sigh of relief and smiles.

"Thanks Niall." Niall nods, kissing Louis' cheek before sighing.

"Now, let's get rid of them so I can get my ass back to bed. I'm tired and really don't want to deal with this shit either ya know?" Louis rolls his eyes but nods.

Niall and Louis make their way downstairs. Louis can feel his heart beating a mile a minute, legs shaking with every step closer to the door.

Niall peeks out the windows on the side rod the door, chuckling as he does. "God, Liam looks a mess right now." He turns to Louis. "Harry looks more worried then he does though." Louis pushes Niall out of the way quietly, taking a cautious glance out the window to see for himself.

Niall was right, Liam did look like shit, and Harry didn't exactly look worried, more annoyed then worried. Louis sighs and looks back to Niall.

"Okay so what now?"

"I'm going to answer the door? Obviously?"

Louis rolls his eyes and scoffs. "No Niall. Like what am I going to do while you do that?"

"Walk upstairs?"

Louis presses his lips together tightly, Niall isn't getting the hint here. "Niall, obviously I want to know what they're saying!"

Niall nods, finally starting to catch on. "The. You hide behind the door, they won't be able to see you. Plus, I'll send them away quickly."

Louis nods, positioning himself where the door will be. Niall asks if he's okay and Louis nods. His heart was in his throat but he wanted to hear what Liam had to say. And maybe Harry too...

Niall have Louis one last look before opening the door slowly. He forms a welcoming smile on his face as he speaks.

"Liam! Hey. What the hell are you doing here so late? Scared the hell out of me mate!"

Louis rolls his eyes, wanting to laugh at Niall rather good acting skills.

"I uh- I was looking for Louis. You seen him?"

Niall furrows his eye brows together and shakes his head. "He should be at his house. At least that's where he said he was going when he left here."

"What time did he leave here-"

Before Liam could finish his sentence Louis heard Harry voice interrupt him.

"You sure he went home? We were just there and his sister said he should be here."

Louis' heart drops and Niall quickly glances at Louis before he nods. "Yeah mate, I'm sure."

God, Niall was such a good liar. It was kind of scary how calm and cool his demeanor was right now. Louis would have been a wreck.
