Change of Plans

Chapter 1

If you are just beginning to read this, I apologize in advance for this story being terribly unorganized -__- doing my best to clear things up

**************************

Louis' POV

I walked through the door of the flat I shared with harry and niall. They were sitting in the living room watching a movie.

"Hi nialler," I said.

"Hey Lou," niall responded, not even bothering to look up from the screen.

Harry just rolled his eyes.

Harry and I had never really gotten along. We both decided from the beginning we didn't like eachother and that was it. Most of the time he just ignored me. As to why we lived together, I don't exactly know. Niall was closer to me and harry than liam and zayn and he begged and begged me to stay with them, so I did. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought, although it was still pretty shitty.

I loved niall, though. He was probably my closest friend.

I walked passed them and up the stairs to my extremely dark room. I slammed the door shut, cleared a path to my bed and collapsed.

I had been laying there for a good

20 minutes when my stomach started to growl, id forgotten about dinner. I turned on my phone to check the time, only to be blinded by its brightness. 9:36. I rubbed my eyes, how'd it get to be so late? I guessed I had stayed too long at liam and zayns place. They lived not far from here, so I spent a lot of time there, what with me being mostly ignored at home and all.

The hunger pangs grew so I headed down the stairs and stuck my head through the banister.

"Pizza for dinner, eh?" I called.

They were both still sprawled out on the couch.

"Yeh! I'm up for that!" Niall said and gave me a thumbs up.

"Sure," Harry mumbled.

It was strange for him to actually answer me, but I didn't think anything of it and let it slide.

I shrugged and picked up a phone from the kitchen.

While I ordered, I watched as niall said something to harry, something I couldn't hear, and they both burst out laughing. I felt a bit of jealousy well up in me, but I quickly pushed it down. What was I, five? Niall was my best mate but that didn't mean he couldn't be friends with harry. After all, we were in a band together.

Once I had finished and the pizza was on its way, I plopped myself down on a leather chair next to nialls side of the couch.

"What're we watching, lads?" I asked.

"Some old pirate movie, i think."

"Lemme change it, it sucks."

Niall tossed harry the remote.

He began flipping through channels. I stopped paying attention and zoned out for a bit.

Then the door bell rang. I never saw niall get off his arse so fast. He practically flew. Niall handed the pizza guy some crumpled up bills that had been shoved in his pocket and shut the door, quickly making his way back to the couch.

After we had eaten most of the pizza and nothing good was on tv, niall smirked.

"How bout some Mario kart, boys?"

"Ok, one game," I said. "It's already midnight and I've had a long day."

We were all quite competitive. Harry was ahead most of the time but I managed to beat him on the first couple courses and get in first place. I high fived niall and did a little victory cheer. I was having a pretty good time playing with them, I even cracked a few good jokes. We played for a while more. On the last course we were all neck in neck. I could tell it was getting intense. But as soon as my car sped across the finish line first, I immediately jumped up.
