How It Starts (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 22

"I'll follow her, you guys can go." I offer.

"No, man, I can't just leave." Louis refuses.

"You have to, for now. Give her space." Liam wraps an arm around his shoulder. "Niall will make sure she gets home."

"Yeah, go home. I'll keep an eye out for Anna." I promise.

I probably shouldn't have made that promise, because I don't know where exactly she went.

"Are you sure?" He asks. He looks utterly heartbroken. I wouldn't deny him the world at this moment.

"Absolutely, go ahead home." I turn and follow the only path in this area. She had to of come this way, any other way would be dangerous.

"Anna?" I call into the empty trail. I call again but hear nothing.

She must be further up. I continue to call her name until I hear someone call mine.

"Niall!"

"Anna?" There's some distress in her voice.

"Niall help!" I jog a few feet ahead until I'm right at her voice. "I fell trying to go off the beaten path. I think it's just a sprain, but I need help getting up this hill."

She must have slipped, going down the hill. "Here." I offer her my hand. She takes it and I pull her up to her feet. She let's her left foot dangle in the air and holds her hands out to me. She's the tiniest person so I just lift her from under her arm out of the pit.

I look her right into her eyes and there's a blue current of electricity. They're so pigmented and detailed. Her nose a tiny reminder of her mom and her long eyelashes fanned across her cheek. Before I know what's going on I'm kissing her, or is she kissing me? In all honesty I have no idea how or when but her lips are so soft and then it's over.

"I'm sorry," I blurt out, "about kissing you..."

She's stares at me almost unbelieving or bewildered, completely surprised.

"Zayn?"

"I'm not turning around Louis." He says more sternly than the last few times that I asked.

"I just-" I start but Liam interrupts me from the front seat.

"She'll be fine, Louis." He glances at me and back at the road. "Niall will make sure of it."

I sit back in my seat with my hand on my head. I hate not being able to see her or help her. Niall is our least caring friend, but I know he'll step up when it counts.

"Can we just not go home?" If Harry is still there with that girl I'll lose all of my self-control.

"Yeah, man, whatever you want." Zayn glances at me through the rear view mirror. They wouldn't deny me anything right now. I could ask if we could go steal a giraffe from the Zoo and they'd atleast consider it.

********

I'm kissing her, but she's not fulfilling any sexual desire of mine. I'm not even attracted to her, I'm just pissed.

She's climbs on top of me grinding hard. My dick is the equivalent of a dead fish. I immediately push her off of me.

"You have to go." I get up to search for her shirt and toss it to her.

"Asshole." She mutters. She gets up and leaves my room topless. I can hear the other boys walking in from their manhunt for Anna.

"Louis No!" Is all I hear before a rythmic thud of feet coming up the stairs. Louis burst through my half opened door screaming.

"What the hell is your problem?" He's really pissed. He seems as if he's been crying. "You're fucked in the head, you're an asshole, Harry."

"Yeah? How'd I get that way?" I know that my voice is cold, and unapologetic. Good. I'm not apologetic. I'm thrilled that she's gone, now he'll feel how I felt when he left, and told me via a post-it note.

"Yeah, well boo-fucking-hoo."

"Go to hell."

"Thanks to you..." he begins to back out of the room"...I'm already there."

That breaks my heart a little lot. Being without her feels like hell? Then he feels exactly how I felt a few months ago.
