It's a short update but there's a bit of action happening in this chapter. Prepare yourselves!

    "Where are you going," Louis asked curiously as he watched Harry place the shopping bags near the car and take off walking in a different direction. He had a feeling Harry wasn't going to ride with him back home. And for some reason, that kind of hurt him. He interpreted Harry's wariness of cars as him not wanting to be stuck with him in such a tiny space. But he knew he shouldn't let it get to him because he knew that's how Harry was.

Harry took a while to respond. He had stopped a few feet away and it almost looked like he was having a battle in his head. A moment later, he started walking again with his eyebrows furrowed. "Walking," Was all he responded before he was officially out of earshot.

Louis sighed and picked up the bags and put them in his car with quite a bit of struggle. He grumbled to himself on how he should of made Harry turn back around and put the bags up before wandering off. They contained his stuff after all.

Louis finished and was about to hop in his car when a thought occurred to him. And of course it was about Harry considering that was all he thought about these past couple of days. Harry this... Harry that... But it wasn't like he could help it. Harry is just very mysterious and fascinating. Which lead to his realization.

Harry always seems lost in his thoughts or secluded from the world. Louis thought back to every time he encountered Harry. He was always in his own world. At the cafe. In his bathroom. And he always seems to disappear. Where does he go when he disappears or goes 'walking'?

A friend's house?
Family?

Wait... That couldn't be possible. During the interview between the two, after Harry applied to become his roommate, Harry simply said that he didn't have and family or friends around here. Of course, he could've been lying but there is no way for sure of knowing. So that left him wondering about where he goes...

Louis quickly glanced in the direction Harry walked off in but he was gone. Figured. He was itching to follow his curious instinct so he decided to not fight it. He got in his car and hastily started it. He wanted to find out where Harry was off to. Yeah it was a bit nosey of him and it was none of his business but he was a nosey person so it didn't bother him as much as it should.

He was about to pull out and head in the direction Harry went but then halted. It wasn't really smart of him to take his car with him. Harry probably would spot him a mile a way and notice that he was being followed. So as much as Louis despised the idea, he was going to have to complete his mission on foot. He turned his car off and put his keys in his back pocket before exiting his car.

  It has been around ten minutes and Louis hasn't caught sight of Harry yet.
He couldn't understand where Harry could've gone. In the direction Harry went, there weren't any turns or buildings he could've entered. There were just walls upon walls. And at the very end... There was a dead end. So... then where is he?

  With an exasperated sigh, Louis turned around to leave and wait for Harry to come home to ask him where he has been. He saw no reason to stay. But just as he was about to take a step in the opposite direction, he noticed something. It was very interesting. How could he have not noticed it before? There was this faded, but it was surely there, door on the closest wall toward the end. It blended in so well with the bricks as if it was made for that purpose. Made to camouflage so no one would notice it at first glance.

Bingo!

Without thinking, afraid of talking himself out of doing this, he closed his eyes and put his hand on the knob. Louis could here his heartbeat loud and clear. This is very sketchy.
