"Where are my glasses?" I ask Liam who has been checking my black eye for maybe 20 minutes now.

"On the dresser, I will go get them." He says walking over to the dresser and coming back with my broken glasses.

"Shit." I say looking at the one broken lens.

"We took a piece of glass out of the black eye when you were passed out. That's why I have been checking it, but nothing looks too bad. You didn't wreck your eye, luckily." Liam says.

"I am here with pizza!" Louis says waltzing in the room.

I take a slice of pizza and take a bite. Why does Louis care about me? The only people who care about me are my mum and sister and of course my best friend Niall, but he only likes me cause he's known me since we were little.

"Penny for your thoughts." Louis says.

"Excuse?" I ask.

"Penny for your thoughts. You know, like what are you thinking about?" Louis asks.

"Nothing that concerns you." I say and continue eating.

"Okay." He mumbles and eats his pizza. The rest of dinner was quiet then I stand up.

"Harry sit down what do you need?" Louis asks.

"I need to go home." I say walking out of the room and to the front door of the house.

"Harry, wait up. I will drive you." Louis says running for his coat, shoes and car keys.

"Louis. Why am I only in my shorts and boxers?" I ask.

"Liam tore your shirt because, did you know you were bleeding from the abdomen?" Louis asks.

"No I wasn't-" I am cut off by Louis.

"Yah you were, but it's okay Liam stitched you up, you'll just have to come back in 2 or 3 weeks for them to be removed." Louis says.

"Uhmm?" I ask.

"Oh here's one of my shirts until you get home." Louis says handing me a twin shirt of the one he is wearing.

"You sure own a lot of stripes." I mumble putting the shirt over my head.

"They look good with my red pants." Louis exclaims as if he has been told this more then once.

"Okay then?" I say skeptically. We walk to the bus and he lets me on. "You seriously drive this thing around all the time?"

"No, but my car is a mess so.." He trails off and starts the bus. We drive for maybe 5 minutes and he parks out front of my home.

"Good bye Harry, see you tomorrow." He smiles happily and I roll my eyes. I wave him off and walk into my house.

"Mum! I am home!" I yell and she comes running down to me.

"Harry dear! Don't leave and not tell me okay. I was worried sick until you called. Which friend's house were you at? And is that why your wearing stripes?" My mother asks.

"I will don't worry and it was my new bus drivers house. Yes that is why I am wearing his shirt." I say feeling butterflies in my stomach thinking about it. Hmm?

"Your bus drivers? Did he rape you?!" My mum screeches.

"Ouch mum. No he didn't. I just passed out so he brought me to his place until I was better." I explain and my mother nods.

"So do you like him?" My mother asks.

"Yah I guess. He seems nice?" I say looking at her confused.

"No, I mean as more then a friend way?" She asks.

"MOM!" I yell and groan. "He is my bus driver, and a guy."

"I know but, you have never liked anyone so, I was hoping maybe you found someone outside of your family and Niall who can love you in a way that we can't.. Unless you like Niall." My mum says.

"No. No. No. I am in my room if you need me." I run up to my room ignoring my mothers calls and strip to my boxers. I crawl into bed where a certain blue eyed bus driver makes an appearance in my dreams.

I was running. I am still running. I have to get away, Rick has a gun and I need to get away. I can't go home, Zayn is waiting there for me.

Niall!

I run towards Niall's house but the street seems endless. I continue to try to get to his house and I look around. I haven't gotten anywhere past the intersection. I run down the road to the left. I see a familiar house and think. Who lives there. Can they help me? Will they let me in?

Louis.

I run up the steps and knock on the door.

"Oh hi Harry." Liam smiles.

"Please let me in." I say as tears come to my eyes.

"What is going on Harry?" Liam asks.

"Let me in. Let me in God DAMN IT!" I scream and Louis opens the door.

"Come Harry." His voice says as his arms are open wide.

"Let me help you. Let me be the one to love you." Louis says as I run into his arms and hold him tight.

"Please. Please don't leave me." I say as things begin disappearing.

"What do you mean Harry?" Louis asks.

"Everything is disappearing!" I say as Liam disappears.

"Nothing is disappearing Harry, everything is okay." Louis says and he continues but his words come out longer and slower, "Yoourr.. Wiiittthh.. meee nooowww."

"Huh? No! No! Louis!" I scream and he disappears.

I wake up almost immediately with my breath going wild and sweat dripping off my skin.

"Harry sweetie are you okay?" My mother asks as she runs into my room.

"Yah, yah mum I am fine. Just a bad dream is all." I say as tears fall down. It was only a dream.

"Okay, well, if you need to take a walk bring my cell so you can call me." My mother says and I nod. She always reminds me to take her cell when I go for a walk after my nightmares.

She kisses my forehead and walks out of the room leaving me. I get out of my bed and notice my sheets are sprawled out around the floor. I sigh and go to the bathroom. I splash my face with cold water and look at my reflection in the mirror. I need to get new glasses- WAIT! My spares! I am glad they were having a two for one. I smile and go through the drawers in the bathroom looking for the spares. I find them in the last drawer and put them on. I brush my hair through and then shake it out. I quickly brush the morning breath smell from my mouth and put on Louis' striped T-shirt. I put on some dark knee length shorts and my boots and grab my mother's phone. I walk out of the house and onto the side walk. I find myself walking towards Louis' house.

Uhhh?

I continue walking past it and trip over something metal cutting my shin. I yelp in pain as I fall to the sidewalk with the unknown object. I look to see what it is and it was.

A trash can?.... So very, unimpressed right now.

I get up and put the trash can up right when a light from the house turns on. I hide behind the bush as Louis comes out and looks around on the front porch. Once he has gone back inside I leave his residence and walk home. When I get home I get a cloth and dampen it in warm water. I wince as I wipe the long cut up. I finish cleaning the cut and decide on falling back asleep watching a movie. I turn on the TV and go to the free movie channel. Ahhh yes I, Robot. I eventually fall asleep towards the middle of the movie and might I say I slept well.
