you smell like hope «Larry Stylinson»

9. leave

이런 미련은 여운으로 끝내야
아픔 이전의 슬픔 그 전의 감동
너 없는 삶 자신 없어 이게 속내야
드러내지 못해 더 차갑게 뱉은 말투

Marigold.
The oversensitive flowers that don't have the ability to grow in winter yet are the connection between life and death.

Louis'pov.

"I drove him home," Liam told me on the phone, "You can go to sleep now." He added, I don't know how he knew I was awake but he did.

"Thank you, goodnight." I ended the call before he could say anything and drifted to sleep unaware of the information that tomorrow holds for me

°••°°••°°••°°••°°•

I woke up to Ruth banging on the door, "I'm awake" I called and not even seconds later she pushed it open and entered.

"You two have two minutes to explain what and why happened yesterday." She half yelled, "what exactly do you mean?" I stared at her blankly.

"I mean why on Earth did you kidnap the poor guy! What did he do to you!!" Half isn't next to yelled anymore. "Kidnap?" I looked at Liam hoping I'll get any answers.

"Okay so Harry Styles told her we kidnapped him." Where did this man come from to my life oh my god. "Is he stupid?"

"No he's not! I can't believe you two did that to an innocent guy!" She continued yelling, "stop yelling!" I shouted back.

"Hey you two quit that, there's clearly a misunderstanding here," Liam tried to reason, "what misunderstanding Liam! Some random guy lied and she just believed him and accused us!" I fought back.

"I believed him because he's telling the truth!"

"Enough! You two! Let me talk," he turned to his sister first, "we kidnapped no one." He stared firmly. "And Jisung didn't lie," he told me this time.

"Yesterday he cried for us to let him go, he probably thought we were the ones to kidnap him," Liam explained, "then he is stupid, I let him sleep on my bed!"

"Let's not forget he was kidnapped by your stalker okay?" Liam sent me a look, "wait what stalker?" Ruth looked between us confused, " her name is Eleanor, we signed for a restraining order against her." Hannah looked lost for a second before she spoke up again.

"Eleanor? As in Eleanor Calder?" She asked slowly, "yeah? Do you know her?" She has both of our attention now, "she was with me on the day of the event, that's probably how she found out enough information about Harry." She suggested. "I'm sorry for accusing you guys, y'all just didn't see how broken and small he looked yesterday I want to murder whoever did that him." She was tearing up which is a weird sight for her, she's not normally that emotional.

"We understand Ruth, you're okay." Her brother tried to hug her but she pushed him away, "anyway," she was back to her normal self now, " I have to get going, you two better do something good for that guy even if you didn't kidnap him you did treat him badly." With that she left the room and left the door opened behind her.

"How do you stand her 24/7?" I shook my head and got from my bed to go take a shower, "feed Clifford till I'm done." I called behind me.

"Don't he be late we have a lot of things to work on today," Liam called back before he left the room and close the opened door.

I sighed, not doing how to wrap my head around the last two days, I just want to pretend they never happened and forget all about the unnecessary drama.

But

For some reason, I don't seem to be able to shake the image of him from my head.

Him too scared to look at us, yet look like the strongest man on earth minutes later on stage.

Him begging me to let him go with tears streaming down his face, yet he didn't have the energy to carry himself home.

Him.
His eyes.
His-

I quickly turned off the water and got dressed, I didn't bother with breakfast or to even greet my parents, I just left the house to my car so I can drive myself to the company.

Maybe there my mind would stop.
