   “Sam you up yet?” Louis said knocking on my door.

   “Come in.” I said as I unscrewed the canopy on my bed. He opened the door and walked in and stood there looking at me.

   “What are you doing?” he asked suspiciously. I took the top of and leaned it against the wall.

   “Taking this down.” I answered simply starting to take down the poles. I gestured for him to hold it so it doesn’t fall while I unscrew it. He came over and helped me take care of it. “Do we have an attic?” I asked I really didn’t want this in my room right now.

   “Yep it’s in the hallway.” He set down two poles and helped me finish the others before he added. “Liam’s cooking breakfast it will be ready soon.” ok was my response. He laid the other two down before he left. I put the screws in a bag marked Sam’s canopy screws and duck taped it to one of the poles.

   After I ate I opened up the attic. I stepped up the ladder and peered into the attic. It looked like it was supposed to be a room. It had wood floors and the walls had a plan white coat. There was nothing in there. I smiled a little walking into the empty room. The room was lite with the light coming in through the big window on one wall and smaller circle window on the other. I walked back down the ladder and into my room to transfer the canopy into the attic.

  “You need help?” I turned to see Niall standing there.

  “Um sure.” He came over and grabbed the canopy poles. He fallowed me into the hallway. I went up the attic stairs and he passed them to me. I walked over to the wall that had the circle window and leaned it against that wall. I walked over to see Niall had disappeared back into my room. He came over carrying the canopy. He passed it to me and I leaned it against the wall.

  “Can you get me a pencil to?” I asked sitting at the top of the stairs.

  “Sure love.” He said walking off. He came back and walked up the ladder a little and handed me the pencil. I stood up and thanked him. He fallowed me into the attic. My phone went off in my back pocket, one of their songs blaring in my pocket. He chuckled a little as I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

  “Hello how may I serve your lazy ars?” I said answering the phone. Niall just laughed even more covering his mouth so I could hear the other person.

  “Sam are you ok?” asked Nate, my college buddy. I kind of figured this call was coming. I mouthed to Niall that I would be right back and walked down the ladder into my room shutting the door.

  “Nate I’m fine. I’m in a totally different country.” I said laughing a little. I meet Nate on my first day of collage when I spilt hot soup on him. I went to college in north America so when I told Nate that I had to move back home he freaked. Not too bad because he knew that London was my home. But still he was worried about me.

  “Are you sure? Like because I can always fly over if you need me.” I laughed at him.

  “Sure but you have to sleep on the couch or the floor in my room you decide.” I could just see how happy and shocked he was.

   “O MY GOD I HAVE TO PACK. I’ll be there tomorrow or tonight I don’t know yet.” It’s only 10 in the mourning so if he’s on the next plane in an hour he’ll be here by 10 tonight.

   “I just bought a plane ticket for 11 so I’ll see you at ten tonight I have to go but I’ll text you. bye.” He hung up. I slid my phone back into my pocket I grabbed my duffle bag and carried it with me into the attic where Niall was laying on the floor. I smirked a little dropping my bag onto the floor. I pulled the pencil out of my pocket and went over to the wall that had nothing on it. I started sketching on it.
