Running Through the Dark

Chapter 23

LOUIS'S POINT OF VIEW

I just sat there, cradling Harry in my arms. It's hard for him, it has been ever since the night of that party. Every night he went out to a club and came back with a girl locked to his lips. He tried so hard to forget Anna, but he couldn't because he is in love with her. I glanced down to see Harry's chest slightly move as his hot breath danced off of his parted lips. I could hear a quiet ringing and a pair of light footsteps heading towards the door. I stood up, curiosity flowing through my veins. I hadn't even realized that I had approached the door, standing behind Anna. She opened the door and my jaw dropped. There in the doorway was a boy, he looked to be 17, but nonetheless he was attractive, the way his dirty blonde hair swept perfectly across his forehead. The tips of his hair slightly poked at his clear vision through the baby blue eyes. I was in awe as he greeted Anna with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

ANNA'S POINT OF VIEW

I opened the door and was pleasantly surprised to see my friend standing there.

"Hey babe! It has been way too long! OMG so Harry picked up your phone this morning... as in Harry Styles! Wait is that the Louis Tomlinson?"

"Haha hey Kurt, I know, it has been far too long and yes I am currently bunking with one direction."

His jaw dropped and he pushed passed me. He went straight for Louis and just stared at him. After a minute of awkward silence. Kurt spoke again,

"You are even cuter in person!"

This caused a deep blush to spread to his usually pale cheeks. That's weird... he gets told that all the time but he never reacts like that. As if on cue he nervously shifted his weight and stuck out his hand. But I noticed a slight tremble before Kurt enveloped him in a hug. Kurt and I followed Louis into the kitchen where the rest of the boys were sitting.

"Hey guys! this is my friend Kurt..."

As soon as the words left my mouth, both Niall's and Harry's eyebrows furrowed in anger. Then Kurt spoke up,

"It is so fabulouis to be in the same room as y'all!"

Then Niall and Harry's eyebrows creased in confusion which I assume was caused by his voice that is slightly higher than a normal guys. They looked to me and I mouthed to them,

'Hes gay'

Their eyes widened in understanding as they returned Kurt's hugs. An awkward silence followed so I grabbed Kurt's hand and led him to the couch while the boys finished the dishes.

"So why exactly are you staying with One Direction? What happened to your roommates?"

"Well, you see, I got emotional and, things got out of hand... I ended up in the hospital and needed an adult to watch over me for a few days while my scars heal, and My mental emotions calm down" I sighed and closed my eyes, leaning my head on his broad shoulder. I felt his careful fingers wrap around m pointer finger and lift my arm up. His gentle lips pressed to my grotesquely white scars that littered my arms. Despite me cutting only 4 days ago, the pain was gone and I was letting the area get fresh air after wearing a bandage for so long.

AN HOUR LATER

"You know? I could really go for an Ice Cream right now,"

Louis immediately agreed with him.

Louis turned to Liam,

"Please Liam, pretty pretty please? I promise we'll be careful with paparazzi..."

Liam sighed as he dug out his wallet, "Knock yourself out. But I'm meeting up with Danielle so just be careful."

Louis turned to Zayn,

"You in mate?"

"Nah, I'm not feeling too well so I'll pass. But next time for sure!"

Louis nodded in understanding and turned to Harry but soon realized he was sound asleep.

I too passed up on Ice Cream, I had other plans that I had to attend so I hugged Kurt goodbye and waved to Louis as the two stepped out the door. Zayn walked up to his room and Liam left the building, heading to Danielle's. Leaving me, Niall, and a sleeping Harry. I turned to Niall and asked,

"Hey, would you do me a favor and keep me company while I run some errands? I don't really wanna be alone."

He nodded and walked with me to the door.
