Hi,

This is a quick little chapter in Louis' POV because I don't want people hating him. He's silly but he's not a bad person! I will defend him!!

Louis

"Well you made an absolute tit of yourself." Zayn says, breaking Louis out of his not-so-peaceful slumber.

"Piss off, bro. Seriously." Louis groans, burying his pounding head into the pillow.

"I know I was on your side through the breakup but that was a bit far. Don't you think?"

"Zayn, I said piss off."

"Would you rather I call Liam and tell him what happened? I'm sure he'd love to know."

Louis feels the weight of Zayn appear on the bed next to him and a hand rest on his shoulder.

"Look, Lou, I know you didn't mean any of it. I'm sure Niall does too. Even so, you're not meant to be drinking right now, so it is kind of your fault."

Louis finally lifts his face from the pillow, feeling slightly suffocated which definitely isn't helping the pounding in his head.

"It was bad, wasn't it? I'm not imagining it."

"I'm not gonna lie, mate, it was pretty bad."

"Fucks sake." Louis groans, burying his face back into his pillow. He really fucking hates life. Like, really hates it.

"Hey, at least I've proved my point about you drinking." Zayn says with a tone that screams 'I told you so'.

"Alright, I get it. Niall hates me, right?"

"Wouldn't say hate, but you're definitely not up there in his hierarchy of friendships I'm afraid. But he's working this morning if you wanna apologise." Zayn sighs and Louis just wishes he could physically melt his face into the pillow so he doesn't have to look at him.

"I know it's been difficult, Lou. Even more so recently, but flipping out like that isn't okay." Zayn continues, his voice soft and caring. "Maybe you should take this week off work."

"I can't. Year 11 exam prep, remember?"

"Your health is more important. This is why the school has sub teachers."

Louis sits up, his head swimming and his stomach uneasy.

"Zayn, I can't let them down like that. I'm fine." He says, not convinced by his own words in the slightest.

It appears that Zayn isn't convinced either. There's a hardly noticeable crease between his eyebrows that gives that away.

"Right, well, I have lesson plans to do. At least think about taking some time off, yeah?" Zayn says cautiously, almost like he's scared Louis' going to freak out again.

Zayn gets up and walks over to the door, turning to look at Louis once more.

"I do love you, mate. You know that, right?" He says, studying Louis' appearance.

"I love you too. Now, stop being weird and get out of my room."

Zayn just laughs lowly and leaves the room, the door shutting behind him with a click.

"Do you think we'll be together forever?" Louis asks, turning his head to the left and gazing at Harry. He's laying on his back with his eyes closed, his eyelashes kissing his cheeks delicately.
