Opposites

Melody

It's been two days since I last saw Zayn, he never contacted me after Louis barged into the room two days ago, and I never saw him outside his flat. It's also been two days and Harry hasn't showed up, I told Louis to call him but he said that he's not answering and I know he's lying. He for sure knows where Harry is, but he doesn't want to tell me. I tried calling him yesterday and I'm getting over to voicemail, which is scary and it's having me worried sick. Where might Harry be?

I enter the living room, looking at the clock to see it strike 8:00 PM, then to see Louis lazily sitting on the couch eating a large bag of chips in one hand and a soda in the other. I sigh and ask him, "Have you called Harry today?"

Louis shakes his head then takes a big gulp from the bottle. I groan then snatch the chips and soda from his hands. He looks up confused.

"Give it back," He whines.

I shake my head, "Get your ass off the couch and go dial Harry."

Louis gets up mumbling inaudible words on his way, then he disappears into the kitchen. He gets back seconds later, with his phone pressed against his ear.

"Harry! Where are ya' mate? You've been disappeared since like two days, aren't you coming back anytime soon?" Louis speaks through the phone. My feet carry me to where he's standing, and I listen carefully to their conversation.

"Uh..yeah. I'm coming tonight, alright? How's Melody?" I can hear Harry's loud voice.

Louis gives me a look and I glare back then he replies, "She's..good. Not well behaving, but good." He smirks which makes me roll my eyes.

I can't recognize what Harry says next but I see Louis nodding his head then uttering an 'alright' and ending the call.

"So?" I look up at him.

Louis says with a blank face, "He's coming in ten minutes."

I nod my head once again and make my way to the living room, I begin to devour the chips as Louis plops down beside me. He shoots me a glare and snatches the bag back from my hands, he shifts in his seat and I feel like he wants to say something. I give him a glance and he sighs in return, which makes me kind of irritated that he isn't talking.

"Look," Louis averts his eyes to the television then says, "I promise I'll keep the affair you have with Zayn a secret, as long as you do what I say."

My mouth falls agape, "An affair?! What the heck, we're not having an affair! What made you think that?"

Louis smirks immediately, "The torn dress in the kitchen, the mess in your bedroom. . ."

I roll my eyes, crossing my hands together. My heart is already beating at a rapid pace, at the thought of Harry finding out what Zayn and I shared two days ago. He would yell at me repeatedly, and probably take us back to LA. Yes, he would do that. I can't risk that, I can't go back. My career is waiting for me here, and I have Zayn. Well, I don't have him but he's talking to me and I guess we're kind of friends, that's all that matters for now. I can't go back to LA.

I give in easily, "Fine, I'll do whatever you want me to do." I gulp down hardly.

"Great. Then, we're going on a fake date tomorrow night, to make the girl I like jealous." Louis smiles smugly.

This isn't a bad idea, it's like having a normal dinner but in a restaurant. Besides, as long as he's paying for the food then I don't mind.

I nod my head, "Okay.."

A small smirk plasters itself on Louis' face, then the front door clicks open. Our heads turn around, to see Harry nervously standing in the doorway. He takes off his jacket, hangs it, then he takes off his boots.

Quickly, Louis and I begin to bombard him with questions. It makes me think that Louis didn't know where he was, but I shake it off and focus on Harry.

"Harry I was so worried, you literally disappeared for nearly two days! I was scared, I thought, I-I. ." I swallow the lump that is forming then say, "Where were you?"

"I was uh, I had some business to do..and I went to a hotel and then had to—"

I cut him off slightly yelling, "Make up your mind!"

Harry clenches his jaw, his hands bawling into fists as he shouts. "Don't raise your voice at me!"

I flinch away at his unexpected loud tone, beginning to tear up. "I-I was just scared, because you didn't—"

"Room. Now." He points his finger to the staircase, and a tear slides down my left cheek.

I run to the staircase, running up to my room but before I reach it, I hear Louis saying quietly, "Harry, she was only scared and worried because you weren't there. ."

I slam the door loudly, to prove him I'm mad, but not that loud so that I don't get yelled at again. I keep taking deep breaths. In and out Melody, in and out.

I open the window, smelling the fresh air of this unbelievably incredible city. I can't believe Harry would yell at me like that, I was only checking up on him to make sure he's okay. I don't know what is going on with him, some days he's just happy and bubbly and the next he's acting depressed and angry. My eyes slowly trail to Zayn's flat window. I wonder what he's doing right now, or where he is. I let out a sigh, as I see the lamp in his bedroom being turned off. He probably is going to sleep now, and here I am thinking about him. After a solid good 30 minutes of thinking, I shake my head and close my window then get back inside.

I change into my pajamas, brush my teeth then braid my hair into a sided french braid. I am definitely not looking forward for the 'fake date' with Louis tomorrow, but if that will keep his mouth shut, then I'm more than willing to go with him. I get under the duvet, pulling it over to my chin, and hugging a pillow closely to my chest.

My eyelids become heavy as I can't open my eyes anymore, I hear my door being opened quietly. I don't bother to open my eyes, as I feel cold lips pressed up to my forehead, and a hand stroking my hair.

"I love you. Always." I recognize Harry's raspy voice against my forehead.

I then finally fall into a deep long slumber.
