Louis and I walked together down the stairs. I began feeling a bit unstable so asked Louis if he would hold onto me. I felt his hand at the base of my back, keeping me steady as I walked down the flight. I smiled. I always knew that Louis would be there for me. No matter how small or stupid the reason.
I turned the corner at the base of the stairs and walked down the hall that led into the living room. All the boys were passed out in there on the couches and floor. Josh and Niall both snoring excessively loud. I shook my head and laughed quietly. At this point, I would love to be passed out with all of them. Crying drained so much energy out of me, and I hadn't slept well last night obviously.
"Lou," I started, "I'm gonna lay on the couch for awhile, okay?" I said more matter-of-factly rather than asking a question. Louis nodded and smiled.
"Okay, you probably do need some sleep." Louis said, placing a hand on my back and guiding me toward the section of the couch where harry was situated. "Do you want anything to eat first? Because I'm starving." He asked. I shook my head.
"No. I'm not hungry. Just sleepy." Louis laughed a little.
"Okay." Louis slid his one hand behind my head and the other remained on my back. He leaned forward and placed a soft, lingering kiss on my forehead. "Go to sleep, love." I broke away from Louis and tried to find a place on the couch.
I gave up after about 2 minutes of trying to move one of the boys without waking them up. Not to mention that they're all heavy and I'm a weakling. I pulled the blanket up off of Harry and settled in next to him, readjusting the blanket on top of the both of us. I rested my head on his chest and my hand on his stomach. I felt him instinctively wrap one arm around me. I could tell he was still asleep by his slow steady breathing.
I pressed my ear up against his bare chest and listened to his heartbeat. I listened to the slow, rhythmic beats as I became drowsy and started to drift off to sleep. I was just about to fall asleep when I felt Harry move. His eyes fluttered open and he looked down at me in confusion. I shifted my body so that my head rested on his shoulder.
"Go back to sleep." I whispered, pressing my lips into the base of his neck. I kissed it lightly and he laid his head back on the pillow, letting out a deep breath. As his breathing slowed I started tracing the tattoos on his chest with my fingertips. His breathing steadied and I ran my hand across the two birds then nestled my face close to his neck. I closed my eyes and let myself drift into the restful sleep that I felt I deserved.
***sorry for another really short chapter lol. I'm tired and want to go to sleep. Preferably the way that Alexis gets to -.- lucky biotch...getting to sleep with Harry. Lol whatever. A girl can dream right?***
