Smoke leaving my mouth in little gray puffs, almost cloud like. Zayn and I leaned up against our wall, Perrie ran off to talk to a teacher about an assignment.

"You quit?" Zayn asks in disbelief. I nod taking another drag. "Wow mate what's gotten into you?"

I shrug casually. "Point is I need a job know any?"

"Nope. I can check around the other shops, but I doubt I'll find anything."

"I have a feeling that I'm dead meat, dead man walking. He let you go, but I don't know. I just have a feeling," I shrug taking another drag.

"You know how he can get, you're in trouble that's for sure," Zayn says.

A bus pulls up, stepping out is Harry sunglasses trying to cover his black eye, but still a dark bruise on his cheek. Niall and him are talking I wave them over.

"I can't talk long I have to speak with a teacher," Harry mumbles glancing at me. Am I the teacher?
Kinky.

"I've got to piss anyway," I say stomping my cigerette out. I walk into the school going into an empty English class, I wait for Harry to walk by. I pull him startling him a little.

"Hey," I smile. "Take off the sunglasses."

He does his eye is black making the green in his eye more noticeable. The bruise lines his cheek bone I shake my head.

"Harry, I hate how you have to go through this, can't you live with Niall or something?" I ask frowning. A sudden picture of Harry and a fist connecting to his face flashes before me.

"No, I can't."

I take his hands in mine leading him to a desk.
"You know-" My phone rings.

I answer it. "Listen to me you little shit, you think because you don't pay me, and now that you have a little boyfriend that you can just quit? I was easy and let Zayn go, but you need the money, I know you do. So meet me in the ally in fifteen minuets or you'll be sorry."

The voice is rough and raspy. It could strike fear in anyone, but I knew I was in deep shit. I knew it.
I've been so wrapped up with Harry and his problems I forgot how serious this was. I hang up the phone hanging my head low.

"Who was that?" He asks.

"Uhm nobody," I shrug lying. "Nobody important.
I'm actually going to skip school today," I say.
Might as well see what the dick wants.

"Are you lying?" He asks moving closer to me, I back up onto a desk.

"Okay fine, it was my boss- I didn't exactly quit like I said I would-"

"Louis! You said you would!"

"Calm down, I will I just got to do it in person. He called me and I will. Trust me," I will try, I mean you can't just leave the business. I've never been quite sure how Zayn just up and left, but I've got to try.

"Promise?" He asks. I nod pulling him closer kissing his lips.

"Yes I promise across my heart. Now I've got to go, but how about we hang out at mine after school?" I ask.

"Actually I'm grounded," Harry mumbles. "Last night I said some choice words to Des and ya know he grounded me. But good luck and I'll call you," he kisses my cheek and walks out of the room. I'm so fucked. Great job Louis.

Making promises you can't keep, grade A for Louis.
I walk out of the school toward my car pulling out cigerette along the way lighting up.

Fifteen minuets I arrive at the ally, it's dark in utterly gross. The stench of trash and other things poison my nose. Against a wall in ripped jeans and boots with holes and a jean jacket with a half buttoned up shirt underneath.

He has my heart. L.s.Where stories live. Discover now
