Chapter 5- The Visit & Breakdown

Chapter 5:

The Visit & Breakdown

Closely I leaned into the window frame, as I watched the hummingbirds flutter around the feeder. There slender, yet short beaks sucking up the nectar they devoured before they flew away in a wisp of air.

A knock on the door brought me back from a daze I had been in.

It took all of my energy to step off the window sill, and I went to the door. I swung it open without bothering to look at the peep hole. My head hung low, I brought it up just a millimeter so I'd be able to see who it was. My eyes widened in realization.

"Harry.."

Louis exasperates. I'm left stunned, locked in place. As if my feet were nailed into the ground. I can't move. My breath hitches, and I'm forced to hold his stare. I'm entirely and utterly shocked.

Without warning Louis wraps his arms around me in a form of comfort, but I'm still to shocked to think of other.

I blink trying to bring myself back and Louis sees me struggling, so he shuts the door behind him and leads me to the couch. He seats us both down and we sit there in silence for a while before he breaks the silence.

"How've you been?" He asks slowly. Almost cautiously, trying to be wise with his words. I finally look up to meet his eyes and the sight makes my eyes water.

"I-" My voices cracks. Dang, here they come again.

I try to stop the tears from dripping down my cheeks. I'm not afraid to cry in front of Louis and all of my other mates, but it feels almost disgraceful. It has been more than a month. Surely, they would have expected me to have move on by now.

"I know Harry. We understand." I break down and I feel my cheeks beginning to moisten in the first seconds. I can't stop them. They just flow freely, the emotions just flowing along with them.

"We feel you, mate. Don't listen to management. They can go find themselves another boy band for all we care. We don't want you to be upset, Harry." Louis says, and I begin to realize what he has spoken.

"Did you guys break up?" I whisper shame clear in my voice.

He slowly nods in confirmation. I slightly flinch as I come to realization. I caused this. I'm the one to blame for there not being a One Direction anymore. I've let my fans down, and I know there disappointed. They must be.

I can't look Louis in the eye. I feel like I've betrayed them all in a way, but I can't help it. But in this case that doesn't matter.

I get up without a word and head down the hallway towards my bedroom. I hear footsteps trailing along behind me. As I reach my room I am about to close the door but his foot is in the way.

"Harry, you can't-" He tries, but I quickly cut him off.

"Leave Louis." I say in a whisper. I'm surprised he even heard me, but I know he did after I hear the front door close and I'm forced to deal with my emotions alone.

Short, I know :( sorry
