Harry's POV

I wake up the morning by my phone ringing. I reach for my phone that was on my bedside and squint my eyes while looking at my phone.

It was Louis.

I slide my phone to the right with my finger and place my phone on the side of my face. "Hello," I said with a deep morning voice.

"Morning Harry!" Louis said through the phone really loud.

"Why you calling me at 6:30 in the morning?" I asked. It's quite odd that Louis was awake this early. He usually wakes up half an hour before school begins.

"Long story short, I had a bad dream," Louis said sounding embarrassed.

"Poor Louis," I cooed, "how bad was it?"

"It was pretty bad, I dreamt that you, the lads, and my family were all gone. I've been told by Eleanor, that you all died in my dream," Louis explained.

"That's intense, but you shouldn't worry. You would always have us and your family with you."

"Thanks Harry, would've gone crazy," Louis said.

"I can only imagine how lost you would be at school."

"Haha, Harry. Just because I'm short does not mean I will be lost at school," Louis said which made me chuckle. "Speaking of school, are you coming today?"

Last night I thought about going to school or not. My mum thought it was a good idea to go so I wouldn't miss anymore work. I'm just slightly (or very) paranoid still. Just the thought that Gemma saw Eric walking around London is quite difficult to let it past my head since I had a huge history with him, but I made a decision.

"I am," I said hesitantly, even though I was sure.

"Yay!" Louis squealed through the phone. "I'll see you later!"

"See you later," I said and we both hang up.

I feel like having second thoughts on this. If I continue to think, I know I will not go to school - I need to go to school. I get up, shower, brush my teeth and put on some clothes.

I sit in front of my makeup desk and choose out of the few lipstick shades I have. It was pretty hard, but I chose to wear a pinkish coral colour.

It felt nice to wear lipstick again, staying home didn't really encourage me to wear it.

I walk downstairs with my bag and see my mum making something, and it smelt like blueberry pancakes. I nearly jumped when I saw my mum stack 3 pancakes into a plate for me. I took the plate of pancakes and gave my mum a cheek kiss before sitting in the breakfast bar. I poured some syrup over the pancakes and ate. While I was finishing up, Gemma came down and sat beside me with her breakfast already in front of her.

She looked at me and gave me a sincere smile. "I'm glad your going back to school. I understand that it was a difficult decision," she said.

"It was, but I need to catch up on school work, and I knew that I would have my friends to calm me down."

"I'm really glad you have friends here, especially Louis."

"Me too, I'm very grateful to have him as a friend," I said. I drop my plate into the sink and said bye to both my mum and sister. I made sure I had everything and left the house.

I arrived at school in less than 10 minutes. The hallways were crowded and loud like usual. I was walking to my locked until I feel someone wrap his arms around my shoulders. I screamed loud enough for everybody in the halls to stop talking and look at me. I turn and see Niall giving me a concerned look.
