Letters (Larry AU)

Chapter two

I got late into Ms. Brien's class. Again. She was really angry with me and wanted to send me to the headmasters, but she couldn't, because we would do our project today.

I sat down next to Liam, just to get up again to go outside the school building.

The whole class followed our teacher and she took something out of her bag.

"So, kids, all of you will now get a balloon and fill it with helium.", she pointed at a big container, that must contend helium.

She gave the bag with the balloons to Taylor and she passed them on.

I got a red one.

I filled it with helium and got a piece of cord.

I pulled out the letter from my pocket and attached it to the string.

"Everybody done?", Ms. Brien asked.

Everybody nodded.

"3"

I tightened the grip around my envelope.

"2"

I breathed in and looked up to the balloon, wallowing around above my head.

"1"

"Let go!"

I loosened my grip around the cord and let it slip trough my fingers.

"You can fly away with me", I whispered and watched the balloon float above the houses until I could only identify a small red spot on the bright blue sky.

I heard the bell ring.

Liam pat my back and lead me through the halls.

-

I somehow made my way through all of my lessons without even noticing. I got home as fast as I could and lay down on my bed.

After a few minutes I was fast asleep.

-

"Harry!", my mum stood in the doorway and looked at me curious.

"Are you ok?",

"I feel sick and I'm really tired.", I shook my head and smashed my face into the pillow again.

"Ok", then she closed the door.

-

"Harry!", I heard a familiar voice next to my head.

"Niall, what do you want?", I grumbled and pushed myself into the covers again.

"Your mum told me to get you. You already missed a day in school", he half-smiled.

"And you haven't eaten in one day"

I heard my stomach rumble in response and swung my feet out of bed.

Downstairs I spotted Liam talking to my mum and my sister Gemma preparing something to eat.

"What's the time?", I asked.

"Five thirty, love", my mum smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

"So Liam came by and told us about your project for school.", Gemma looked at Liam, who was currently staring at Niall with tenderness.

Gemma continued talking: "Liam already got a response"

Liam finally reacted to the things around him and nodded quickly, obviously not knowing what's going on.

"Show me the letter, Liam", he put a piece of paper into my hand.

Dear Liam,  

I just found your letter while I was cleaning the chimney. Yes I am a chimney sweet, I hope that means good luck for you.  

My name's Zayn Malik. I'm 20 and I'm from Bradford. I've got black hair and I'm Pakistani.  

I hope that's enough for now. Tell me something about you please. 

Yours, 

Zayn 

"Have I got an answer?", I looked at my mum, but she only shook her head.

I made my way into the kitchen and put some ham on a slice of bread.

I sat down with my sandwich and listened to the conversation next door.

"Liam?", I heard the familiar irish voice speak. "Yeah?", that's Liam. "Uhm... Nothing", Niall stuttered.

I shook my head and took a big bits of the scrunchy bread in my hands.

After I've finished the sandwich, Niall entered the room and told me the homework for the next day.

I thanked him and got into my room to finish my stuff for school.

I turned on the radio and some awkward bubblegum pop song blared into my ears. I switched over to another channel and a soft melody lingered around inside my room.

I miss you more than words, words can explain 

I miss you more than drought, drought misses rain 

But I'm thirty miles away, back home on a plane 

With tears in my eyes 

But a smile on my face 

[A/N: that song's "Australian Gate" by Julian le Play/Julian Heidrich listen to it xx]

I rushed around inside the room arranging books and CDs on shelves.

Suddenly some unknown number called me but I picked up anyway.

"Heey" 

Oh no it's Taylor. 

"Uhm... Hi. Who's there?", I grumbled annoyed. 

"It's Tay!" 

"Oh yeah cool", I grunted and ended the call.

A/N: ok chapter two here. I hope you like it  

Feeeeedback please! xx 

I'm sorry for any grammatical mistakes and other failures, but I'm not a native English speaker so it's not that easy!  

I have and had a lot if tests and exams this week, but I hope the chapter is still ok. It gets more interesting soon, don't worry. 

And I'm sorry I didn't update earlier i was in London!  

So vote, comment, fan? Ily
