The next morning came fast. Harry and I slept in separate beds. It's so stupid, but I'm not going to argue with him so I'll just go along with it. The beds were so soft and warm, I fell asleep in like 5 minutes. Harry has a work thing today so I will be at the hotel by myself. Harry told me not to go anywhere. He doesn't want me getting lost. "Lou baby?" I hear the man call. I head over to the bathroom, Harry was already showered and dressed. He was brushing his Teeth. "Yeah?" I say and lean against the door frame. Harry spit out the foamy tooth paste and washed it down the sink. "Promise you'll be a good boy today okay? I'm going to call every so often to check on you." I blush and nod "I'll be good I promise. I'll be here." I say back. But that actually wasn't my plan at all. I wanted to go out and look around. I won't get lost. I'm not a child. I'm 17, I can be out on my own. Harry smiles and walks over to me. He pulls me into a hug and then kisses me softly. "I'll see you later princess." He coos and grabs his keys. I say goodbye and then he leaves. I could actually see the parking lot from our room so as soon as he shut the door I ran over to the window. After a few minutes I saw Harry walk out and get into the car. He drove away and I giggle. Quickly changing into some black tights and pullover grey adidas sweater. I also decide to put on a cute knitted beanie. Since my hair was pretty messy that morning and I was too lazy to fix it. I slip on my shoes and grab my phone. I also grab the hotel room key and then I leave. I didn't exactly know where I was going but I just thought it would be fun to look around, window shop and stuff. I get down to the lobby and out the door. The cold air hit my face, making me shiver. Maybe I should of worn warmer clothes. All well. The sky looked beautiful though. The clouds were so fluffy and white. I couldn't help but admire them. I smile softly to myself as I walk into town. Just like yesterday there were many people. It's probably always crowded like this. I felt so small. Compared to the people. To the city. Everything was big and glamorous. And here I was, just a tiny little piece of nothing. I saw couples everywhere. Holding hands, kissing, hugging. Gay couples, straight couples, lesbian couples. All of them I saw while I walked. I sigh. I don't see why Harry and I can't be like that. It's not like it's hard or it's a bother. I just want to be his. I shake out of my thoughts and find myself in a store. It was called pacsun. I've never been in here before and the clothes looked interesting. I looked around for awhile, the prices were high. I left and continued to walk. I put my hands into my jacket pocket and I felt something. I stop and pull it out. It was $5. I smile a little. Kinda happy. I could get something to eat I guess. Like a sandwich or something. I walk until I see a deli. I go in and order a 6 inch sandwich. I almost didn't have enough money for it. I leave and decide to go to Central Park. I had to ask someone where it was. I felt embarrassed. They looked at me like I was stupid because I didn't know where it was. But I made it and I sat at a bench. There were people riding bikes, walking around. The park was beautiful. It was calming. I take out my sandwich and take a bite. Humming at the taste. After my sandwich I got up and laid in the grass. By a tree. I had brought my headphones so I put them in and listened to music. My eyes were closed and I actually fell asleep. On the ground at the park. That sounds like a weird place to sleep but I guess I was just tired.

When I woke up I looked around. Feeling quiet embarrassed that I fell asleep . I looked at the time. I was asleep for three hours? How the heck did I sleep on the ground for three hours. I see that I have five missed calls. Shit. I quickly call him back.
"Louis. Where the hell were you?" He asks, sounding concerned."M-my phone was dead..sorry.." I say back and gulp.
"Louis...what's that? In the background. I hear..people? Cars?"
Oh god. I panic. "I-I uh what? I'm watching tv.." I stutter.
Harry stays quiet for a moment "you know. I dont appreciate you lying to me little one." He says and sighs. "Now tell me. Where the hell you are."
