Always In My Heart (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 4

I haven't heard from Louis in a couple of days. I haven't seen him in the hallways or in the main building when a student held some kind of speech about bullying. After that party the other night he just sort of vanished. I didn't care much anyway, he can do whatever he wants with his life. I need to focus on studying and working.

I got a job at the grocery store, not that exciting but the salary is better than most jobs around here. As Louis said when I woke up after being drugged, the teachers hadn't noticed I was gone for a whole day. Stop thinking about him.

I meet Eleanor every now and then but she seems very distracted every time I speak to her. Maybe she and Louis got in a fight and he left and....Stop thinking about him.

Niall was a great roommate, he always kept food in his fridge under his bed so I basically only had to buy water bottles and keep in mine. I buy the water Louis brought to me when I was thirsty at Liam's place. Stop thinking about him.

I shake my head letting my curls surround my face, I drag my hand through my hair and push them back again. I'm sitting on my bed with a notebook in front of me. I'm trying to study but it's impossible. I can't focus. Louis has been gone for four days now. Where the fuck is he. I walk to the door and when I look out to see if maybe he decided to come back, it's empty. Surprise, Harry. It's a thursday at noon, people are out eating with their friends, not studying in their rooms like you. Loser. My inner voice was right. I had no friends except for Niall but he is out with his OTHER friends eating lunch without ME.

I don't know why, but not seeing Louis in the corridor made me kinda sad. I don't even know why, he is super mean to me, his friend drugged me and he clearly wants nothing to do with me. At least not when there are other people around us. He was so nice to me when we were alone. Okay, not VERY nice but nice. I close the door. I sigh and put my textbooks in my bag. We don't have any desks in our rooms which is so freaking annoying, if you want to study at a desk you have to go to the library but who got the time to do that? Not this guy. My phone starts to vibrate in my pocket and the display shows that it's my mom.

"Hii darling, I just landed in London. How are you holding up?"

"Good, just got some studying to do"

"That's good. But do you know who I ran into at the airport in Washington..."

"Who?"

"Caroline!"

Okay, so here's the thing. Caroline is a girl I dated for a few months but broke up with just before I left for America. We were never really happy together but you know, it was a teen romance. My mom on the other hand LOVES Caroline. She thinks our relationship was super serious just because she walked in on us ONCE. It was the second time we did IT and also the last. It wasn't really that great so I mean...I was more happy than sad actually. Me and Caroline broke up and haven't spoke since. I just know she wanted to study abroad.

"Okay..."

"Guess what"

"What"

"She is also attending Hillary Hill! She was really excited to hear that you just started there and..."

"What? No, why would she start here?"

"Harold, don't interrupt me. And she said she wanted to try something new"

"Wait, when is she starting?"

"Today I believe"

"Oh fuck, I have to go mom, talk to you later"

"HAROLD, Don't spea.."

Beep beep beep beep.

I rush outside and right when I enter the main hall and walks up to the front desk to check if she is really about to attend the same fucking college as me, I hear a voice.

"Harry? Harry Styles? Is that really you?"

Fuck.

I turn around.

Caroline Flack. Standing in front of me, with a blue suitcase and a black handbag. Her hair straightened and a pair of sunglasses on top of her head.

"Hi, oh my god it's been so long, like what? Six months?" She says and opens her arms for a hug.

"Four and a half" I answer. I've been counting.

"Wow. You look great. Your hair is longer" She says and touches my hair. I flinch for a second and she pulls her hand back.

"Sorry, I forget that YOU broke up with ME so I just...I don't know. Reflex I guess" She says.

"It's okay"

"Well, I guess I'll see you around. What house are you in? I'm in D I think"

"C, second floor" I answer shortly. Standing with my hands in my pockets. She nods.

"Okay, well. Talk to you later?" She asks.

"Sure"

She turns around and continues to the receptionist. I breathe out and push the main door open. I can't believe I'm gonna have to spend four years in the same college as her. I walk around the corner when I hear another voice.

"Harry"

I recognize that voice.

"Harry wait up"

That voice belongs to Louis Tomlinson.

Sorry for short chapter, I'm having writers block right now but hopefully if I watch enough Larry vids on youtube I will have better stuff to come with!
