louis sat on his couch as he flicked through the different channels on his tv. everyone had gone out to do errands but harry stayed with him, making sure that he didn't go on the subway again. it's been almost a month since his intervention and louis hasn't been near the station. it's been a month and he hasn't been on the subway or seen maybellene. and to say that louis has gone mad is an understatement.

he missed her. he missed her like crazy. everyday she was on his mind. everyday he would daydream about her. every night when the clock struck 2 in the morning louis would imagine her walking into the station and boarding the subway. he wondered if she noticed his disappearance and if she cared. he hoped she did.

harry let out a small laugh which shook louis out of his thoughts. he turned towards harry who was sitting behind the kitchen counter, smiling like an idiot and tapping away at his phone. louis raised an eyebrow, confused as harry let out another small laugh and his smile grew bigger.

"what's up with you? why are you so... cheery?", louis asked aloud. harry looked up from his phone and towards louis, his smile still present on his face. "just in a good mood I gue-", he was cut off by his phone buzzing. harry looked at the text message and began laughing again. "what's so funny? who are you talking too?", louis asked, now curious as he walked over towards harry.

harry gave him his phone, explaining how he had met this girl at the bar when they all went out together. louis read the messages which consisted of stupid puns and gushy compliments that made louis roll his eyes. he looked at the name at the top of the screen and paused for a bit. "may?" harry nodded, " her name's maybellene but I call her may instead." louis cocked his head to the side as her name sounded familiar to him. "what?", harry asked, taking his phone back. "nothing. it's just that I heard that name before, recently. dunno where though.", louis answered. 

he walked over to the door and grabbed his keys. "where are you going?", harry asked, still looking at his phone screen. "out.", and with that louis left the house leaving harry alone as he continued to text maybellene, oblivious to the fact that she was 2 a.m subway girl.

it was 8pm and maybellene was with matt. the two were out in a local furniture store trying to find things to place in her apartment. matt knew that her apartment was empty and he thought getting her new furniture would keep may focused on something instead of louis, or as he knows him, 2 a.m subway boy.

the two looked at lamps and chairs but what maybellene really wanted at the moment was a new dresser. her closet was a mess so she thought a dresser would keep her more organized. none of them caught her eye until they began leaving the store. she saw it at the corner of her eye. it was all black with countless amount of drawers.

she pulled matt over to it and hugged it. "it's so pretty.", she cooed, admiring the wood. matt laughed, "and expensive." maybellene looked at the price and died a little inside. it was way too overpriced and the two of them knew it. matt had called over the manager and began to negotiate a deal. and after 20 minutes of complimenting the manager and making him laugh, he only charged them half of what the dresser cost.

matt bought it for her. maybellene was smiling and kept thanking him, promising that she would pay him back soon. but matt said no, saying that it wasn't necessary. "consider this a early birthday present.", he said only to receive a big hug from may.

maybellene sat in the car as matt and one of the workers loaded on the back of his truck. soon matt climbed in and turned on the car. "it's gonna take a whole village to build this thing.", he said as maybellene was on her phone. "it's alright. i asked my friend harry if he could come around tomorrow to help and he said okay.", she answered, smiling as she continued to text him. "oh. new boy already?", matt asked, his heart sinking to his stomach. she nodded, smiling as she read harry's text message. "well is it alright if I invite someone else to help as well?", matt asked as he began driving out of the parking lot. "sure. who?", she asked, putting her phone away and turning the radio on. "his name's louis. i think you'll like him.", matt said.
