Don't Let Me Go (A Larry Stylinson Story)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Niall's Pov

There is nothing good on. I could watch a movie. 'Grrrrr'  My stomach started to growl. Well, I guess I could eat. I lazily got up from the couch and walked into the kitchen. I opened the fridge. Damn, Nothing to eat. Quite literally, my fridge was empty. All I had was like condiments, and jarred food, anything else was expired. I guess I'll eat out, then go grocery shopping. Nando's sounds good, like always, I'll just stop there.

I headed to the door. I put on a pair of old shoes and a jacket. It's still pouring out. We had a thunderstorm last night. I bet Louis enjoyed that, note the sarcasm, actually, I bet Harry enjoyed that. I doubt he knows, I know, but it is quite obvious that he fancies Louis. As If on cue the door swings open and Louis is standing there, thunder striking coincidentally, which was actually extremely creepy.

Louis didn't even flinch at the thunder there must be something really wrong. He was soaked, I assume he was walking? His jeans were torn up and had blood on them. He was shaking, from the cold and wait a minute- crying? Holy shit, Louis crying? This must be bad.

"Lou?" I asked, worriedly. "Are you okay?" He broke down sobbing and walked inside. "What happened?" I reached out and pulled him into a hug. I really didn't care that he was soaking wet. He really needed a hug. Louis never cries. It's painful seeing him like this. I patted his back and led him to my room.

"Here." I handed him some dry clothes. I looked away for a second, when I turned around he was about to put my pants on when I stopped him "Louis, the cuts on your knees are pretty bad let me clean them up before you put pants on. He walked over to me and I lead him to the restroom. He sat down on the toilet lid, shivering. "Sorry Lou, I'll see if I have tea when I finish." I said noticing how red he was from the cold. I got out a small box of medical stuff from under the sink. I pulled out the peroxide.

"That's not going to hurt is it?" He asked nervously as I held the brown bottle above his wound. "No, It's just peroxide, It will only tickle a bit." I said giving him a reassuring smile. He remained tense as I slowly poured the liquid onto his knee. His face softened afterwards. "See, not that bad, right?" I asked, smiling again. "No." he replied, giving me a weak smile.

After cleaning his cuts I put a pad on the worse cut and wrapped it up. I put a bandage on the other knee and just used some smaller bandages on his hands.

I went downstairs as he got dressed and looked for some tea, Luckily we had one packet left. I put the kettle on the stove and boiled some water. I got out a mug, it had snowmen on it, I got it as a gift one year for Christmas. when the water was ready I poured it into the mug and added the tea packet.

Louis came downstairs right on time and I handed him the mug sitting on the bar stool next to him. "Better?" I asked. He nodded taking a sip of his tea. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not right now." He said after a minute. It was silent for a while. Louis drank his tea and stopped shivering. I sat and thought about Louis, what could be wrong? Maybe he got in a fight with Harry? That had to be the reason because naturally Louis goes to Harry first when he has a problem. The silence was interrupted by my stomach, I almost forgot, food. I turned to Louis who was already looking at me. "Hungry?" he asked. "Yeah, I was on my way out to Nando's when you stopped by. I need to do some grocery shopping too. You can come with if you want or just stay here."

"I'll go with you, I could eat, and thanks for helping me, Niall."  He said giving me a small but genuine smile.

...

Louis' mood had improved since earlier. We unloaded all of the groceries and were now sitting on the couch in blankets. I had the heat up, but we were both cold.

"Niall?" He asked sweetly. "Yes, Lou?" He waited a minute before speaking. "I broke up with Eleanor" That's not what I expected. I thought he was going to mention a fight with Harry. If this wasn't about him why wasn't he talking to Harry about all of this. "I'm okay now but after I went to get a drink and forgot about Harry. I was supposed to watch a movie with him but I forgot. He cried and I felt bad so I was going to surprise him and get him a cake. He thought I was going to see Eleanor, I forgot to tell him we broke up. He got really mad and we started fighting. I left the flat and I had to walk to the pub and get my car. I fell and It was raining, I was just overwhelmed and now I'm here."

I didn't say anything about it. I knew better. Louis didn't want my pity or my opinion, so i just listened. If he was having problems I was going to help him. "Well you are always welcome here, If you want to stay here tonight that's fine." i said giving him a warm smile. "Thanks Niall." He said returning the smile. "So. Got any movies in mind?"

Okay so there was Niall's Pov. Sorry if it was boring. It's more of a filler chapter. Next chapter should be a lot better. That's when the plot actually starts. I'm tiered so good night guys.
