The Enemy

Two

At around five in the morning, I pulled into Luke's driveway. His house wasn't nearly as nice as Louis' flat, but Louis was more well off. I knocked on the door when Luke came rushing to the door. 

"Harper are you okay, angel?" He asked concerned. I nodded. I really wasn't okay. He gave a small tour of the house before leading me into the guest room where I would be staying. 

"Question." I said, feeling a little bit better knowing that Luke was here for me. "Yeah?" "Why is there a big KEEP OUT sign on your door?" 

"Oh uh, I guess it's just a Halloween decoration we never took down." He stuttered. 

"Okay then. Speaking of we, when do I get to meet your 'posse of teenage dirtbags' as Louis called you all." Luke smiled. 

"Ignore what Louis says about us. He's the real enemy." "Enemy? Don't you think that's taking things a little far?"

Luke shrugged and called for the boys to come into my room. "You guys I want you to meet Harper. She's gonna be staying here a while since someone on the other team, erm her boyfriend, cheated on her." He said hugging me. 

Why was he talking like they were at some kind of war? "Hi I'm Calum" an Asian looking boy with black hair and blonde highlights said with a warm smile. 

"I'm Michael, or Mikey, whatever is cool for you" A pale figure with bright blue hair said. I giggled at how he seemed clumsy. "Hi uh I'm Ashton." A tan guy with long curly hair and round glasses said with a grin. He was kind of cute.

"You must be really tired" Luke said as he shooed the other boys out of the room. "Get some sleep and sleep as long as long as you want." He said.

I smiled and gave him a hug before he shut the door. I had more suitcases and a few boxes in my car, but I was too tired to bring them all in so I just brought in one that had my overnight things. I put on my pajamas before curling up in the bed. 

As much as I was trying to stay strong, I couldn't. The tears began to stream down my eyes. I sobbed in my pillow, trying to muffle the sound, but it didn't work.

I tried to stop the tears as I heard the door open. "Are you alright?" A voice said. 

I wasn't able to identify who it belonged to. I wiped my eyes and looked up. It was that curly haired boy. "Oh hi" I said as if I didn't hear him. 

"Is everything okay?" He asked me, sitting at the foot of the bed. I tried to get words out but I failed. "It's okay. That guy was a jerk. Trust me, I had a history with him." 

He said, rubbing my back. Why do they keep talking like that? Am I missing something? "It's over now. Your'e going to be okay. 

We're all here for you, even though we just met you. You can always come to me if you feel the need to talk." He said smiling. He had the deepest dimples I'd ever seen. His hazel eyes were fixed on me. "Thank you." Was all I had to say.

He smiled at me before he got up and left. "Goodnight, Harper" he whispered. "Goodnight, Ashton." I said, as if I knew him for a long time. I closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.

 My mind was buzzing with a million thoughts. What was Louis doing right now? Probably snogging with whatever girl he loved now. Where was I going to go? What would happen to me? I was scared and unsure
