Who Would Have Known

Chapter 6

Shit. Shit. Shit. What was Harry thinking? He can't just kiss me. Kiss me with those soft lips that felt so good. Those lips that could do amazing things. I need to stop. This is wrong, I can't like him, especially not a guy.

"Louis," Maya whines from the seat next to me. She lays her head against the window and stays quiet. We are nearly back to her house and unfortunately for me she had been quiet the whole drive, leaving me to my thoughts.

"Maya," I shake her leg to wake her up as I pull into her driveway. She groans before lifting her head to look out the window. Opening the car door she stumbles out, mumbling a thank you before standing up. I watch as she drunkenly moves towards her house and goes inside. I pull out of the driveway once she closes the door.

I drive home as quickly as I can. My mother's car is missing from the driveway as I pull in, she must be working late at the hospital. The house is silent as I walk through and go to my room.

I immediately walk into the bathroom and turn the shower on. Opening one of the drawers I find a bottle of pills to help me sleep. I'd rather not lie awake and overthink everything. I take one before taking off my clothes and stepping in the shower.

The hot water helps to relax me. I quickly wash my hair and body before turning off the water. I rub the towel over my hair before wrapping it around my waist.

My phone buzzes as I pull on a pair of boxers. I lay down in bed before reading the message.

"HE ASKED ME OUT!!" I didn't have to read the name to know it was Liam.

"Zayn?" I replied quickly. The sleeping pills were beginning to take effect and my eyelids were starting to feel heavy.

"Yeah, he's taking me out tomorrow at five. I'm coming over so you can keep me occupied so I don't panic, which I already am."

"Okay see you then." I typed before putting my phone on the table beside me and closing my eyes, drifting off to sleep.

"Louis, wake up." A voice sounded from beside me. I opened my eyes to see Harry standing over me. I quickly rub my eyes, wondering if it's an imagination. When I open my eyes again Liam stares back at me with a confused look.

"What are you doing here? What time is it?" I sit up as Liam sits down on the foot of my bed.

"It's three in the afternoon, how are you still asleep?"

"I took some sleeping medicine." I stand up from the bed, walking over to the dresser. The pills must have been stronger than I thought they would be. I pull a grey t-shirt over my head and shimmy into my black skinny jeans.

"What happened last night with you and Harry?" Liam called as I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth. I paused mid-brush trying to think of a plausible excuse.

"Oh, you know we just argued, the usual." I wasn't ready to tell Liam about our kiss, especially because it didn't mean anything.

"Do you know where Zayn is taking you tonight?" I asked before Liam could see through my lie.

"No, it's a surprise." I nodded my head and sat next to him on the bed, putting my converse on.

"Let's get some lunch before we do anything." Liam says as he stands up, heading towards the door.

When we get downstairs my mother is gone and my sisters are playing in the backyard. I follow Liam to his car and sit in the passenger seat. I stay quiet the whole drive, just nodding my head to Liam chattering about his date tonight.
