It was starting to get dark and Zayn was still no where in sight. Louis got up from where he was sitting and started walking back and forth, no longer able to hold in his anxiety. Harry wasn't sure what to do. He had began to worry too now.
"Should we go search for him?" Louis asked looking at Harry, panick clearly showing on his face and voice.
Harry shook his head making Louis angry.
"Why not?!" Louis asked taking a step closer to Harry, a frown on his face.
"I know you're worried for your friend, Louis but he asked me to keep you safe here and no way on earth am I gonna break my word and let you walk right into your death bed like that!" Harry said making Louis sit back on the bench again.
"If he's dying, I'm dying too!" Louis said standing up.
"Shut your pretty mouth and sit here." Harry said pushing Louis back on the bench.
"What's going on here?" Niall asked confused.
"Hi Niall, when'd ya come?" Harry asked looking at Niall surprised.
"Just now." Niall answered.
"Let me go, Styles!" Louis said trying to stand up again but failed as Harry pushed him back down again before Louis could completely stand up.
"Is anyone gonna tell me what's happening here??" Niall asked again.
"Well I'm not sure what's happening other than the fact that I've been asked by pretty blue eye's best friend to keep him safe until he returned but the Mr. over here insists on going and walking right into death's mouth and is pretty upset I'm not letting him." Harry said turning to Niall again.
"Well this isn't a safe place after dusk." Niall said looking around.
"You're right. Let's go home pretty blue eyes" Harry said turning to Louis.
"Absolutely not! I'm not moving an ich until Zayn's here! I refuse!" Louis said folding his arms against his chest and glaring at Harry and Niall.
Harry and Niall exchanged a silent message with each other before nodding. Niall ran off towards the exist and Harry sat down on the ground in front of Louis.
"As you say lovely. But I'm not moving an inch either then." Harry said smiling.
Louis huffed and turned away, hoping to catch a glimpse of Zayn.
A few hours later Zayn's phone rang and Louis looked at the caller ID to find Liam calling and immediately panicked. What was he supposed to say?
"Answer the call, love." Harry said.
"B-but he-I-" Louis stammered making Harry worry.
"Is it someone I need to take care of?" Harry asked and Louis immediately shook his head.
"No!" Louis replied immediately.
"Then?" Harry frowned confused.
"It's- it's Liam. H-he's calling Zayn and I don't know what to answer." Louis said looking at his lap.
"Oh" Harry said understanding why Louis was panicking.
"Either you tell him the truth..." Harry said.
"No! Not possible! What's the other option?" Louis asked looking at Harry.
"Or you stall for now and tell the truth later." Harry suggested.
"With Zayn?" Louis asked.
"With Zayn." Harry nodded.
Louis thought for a minute then took a deep breath and nodded.
The phone rang again and Louis answered.
"Hey babe you know what mum said?!" Liam's happy voice came from the other side making Louis want to sob.
"Shh. You can do it." Harry said lightly rubbing Louis' knee.
Louis nodded, took a deep breath and spoke "Hey Liam!"
"Louis?" Liam asked confused.
"Yeah!" Louis said.
"Where's Zayn?" Liam asked "He's alright, right?" He asked slightly worried.
"Yup! We just took each other's phones!" Louis answered.
"What? Why would you do that?" Liam asked confused, the worry fading away.
"Because it's fun! Like just imagine answering someone else's calls in their place and speaking shit! So much fun innit?!" Louis said.
"You and your ridiculous ideas of fun" Liam said and Louis could imagine Liam rolling his eyes and shaking his head at the both of them.
"C'mon Li! It's fun! You need to loosen up a little dude!" Louis said making Liam scoff.
"Yeah yeah, whatever. I'm gonna call you- I mean Zayn-" Liam said but Louis immediately spoke over him
"No!" Louis said before he could even register the fact that he spoke.
"What?- Why?" Liam asked getting worried again.
"It's nothing! It's just that Zayn was really sleepy since he you know didn't sleep well last night and said nobody should disturb him." Louis said, trying to cover up.
"Zayn didn't sleep well last night? Poor baby I should go-" Liam said but Louis cut him off again.
"No! I mean no, Li, you shouldn't be going there right now. You going there will only wake him up and disturb his sleep again, don't you think? It's better if he sleeps really REALLY well tonight and then tomorrow you can meet, talk and I don't do whatever you wish to!" Louis said.
"You're right. Okay, see you tomorrow at school then!" Liam said and hung up.
Louis let out a sigh of relief. He took care of Liam for now but what was he supposed to say if Zayn didn't return till tomorrow??
