*Harry's POV* 

I didn't talk to him. I couldn't. Not after last night. He had left for school and I went to work, as always. Niall had to come in today and I was dreading it. I haven't even spoken to Marissa since the last time I saw her, I'm sure she's worried. I sigh and send her a short text, letting her know I'm alright. 

me // Sorry I didn't go home last night, busy day at the office. xx

She saw it but didn't reply, which I rolled my eyes at. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. 

I looked at the time and sighed, cracking my knuckles with my fingers. I didn't see Niall this morning, which isn't an entirely bad thing. Or, well, Niall didn't see me. I may or may not have stared at him in his sleep.  I left early in the morning to avoid any unwanted confrontation. I didn't want to put Niall in that kind of position. I couldn't stop replaying last night's events in my head over and over, like a broken record or a song stuck on repeat. 

Allison came in shortly after to offer me a bottle of water, which I took, as usual.

"Are you alright, Mr. Styles? You look a little pale." She pointed out. I nod my head.

"I'm great. Do you know if Mr. Horan has arrived yet?" I ask. She purses her lips before shaking her head.

"I'm afraid not. He should be in soon. Is there anything else you need, Mr. Styles?"

"No, thank you. Just, I don't know. Let me know when he gets here, I guess." I tell her. She nods curtly and dismisses herself. I tap my fingers on the desk and look around. I'm sure Niall will be uncomfortable as well, and I don't want that.

My wandering eyes land on the stereo adjacent from me. A smile creeps on my face as I scoot my chair from under my desk and make my way over there. Music. Niall likes music! I toy with the appliance for a little longer before becoming content with the station. I knew this would come in handy for more than just decoration. Just as I'm about to sit down again, a small, almost inaudible knock halts my actions. I smile to myself, before clearing my throat.

"Come in." I say, my voice wavering a little. Niall slowly makes his way in, setting his backpack on the floor next to the door and letting out a breath.

"Hi." He says over the softly playing music. I close my eyes and breathe in a big breath before slowly letting it out.

"Hello." Is all I could muster up. He sends me a soft smile which makes my heart flutter out of my chest before coughing.

"S-should I go to the mail room again? Like last time?" He shyly asks, playing with his fingers. I nod too soon and he nods back before scurrying out of the room.

This is going to be a long day.
