Dear friend

I was woken up but the sound of my mums voice calling me from the bottom of the stairs. I rubbed my eyes as I sat up on my bed looking out the window at the deep blue skyline. I picked up my phone to check the time. It was 6:36 I had been sleeping for 2 and half hours. My mum called for me once again this time louder and with more aggression in her tone. I called back down to her and started to walk down to met her at the foot of the stairs.
"Dinner is ready and you have a message on the house phone"
"Oh okay"
I was still half asleep and I felt like I was walking on clouds with every step I took. I walked into the kitchen to see my dad sitting at the table eating his fish and chips. As I sat down my mum placed at plate in front of me. The plate consisted of fish and chips just like my dads. I ate half of my food before getting up and emptying the rest into the bin and placing my plate in the sink.
"Don't forget about that message"
"Oh yeah thanks"
I walked through to the living room and I picked up the phone pressing the number 4 and I waited.
*calling voicemail....you have one new message. To hear the message press 1*
I pressed the button.
"Hello Harry, it's Lou I tried to call your phone but you didn't answer and you've not answered this call. I hope everything is okay between us...call me back yeah?"
*if you would like to save the message press 1. Hear the message again press 2. To delete the message press 3*
I pressed three and put the phone back in the stand. I walked out the living room and back up to my bedroom. I sat on my bed holding my phone in my hand anxiously playing with it before I stopped and unlocked it opening up Louis contact name. I put the phone to my ear and listened to it ring.
"Hello hazza"
"What did you tell Mark?"
I didn't know what I was saying the words had just being sitting on my mind. I needed to know what he said.
"Erm what do you mean Harry?"
"After the fight what did you whisper to mark?"
"O that. It's noting it doesn't matter"
"It matters to me Louis I want to know!"
I felt a sort of anger come over me.
"Okay Harry I'll tell you just clam down.  I said that if he touches you again I won't go as easy as I did then"
"You didn't need to protect me!"
"Harry I was helping you."
"I didn't need your help. I was doing fine"
"O really, you where on the ground and he was kicking you. Didn't look fine to me"
"Well it was"
"Fine next time I'll let him kick the shit out of you. See if I care."
"Piss off Louis"
"No fuck you Harry all I was trying to do was help you. So fuck off"
Louis hung up the call, I turned off my phone and chucked it onto my bed. I didn't know what just happened. I didn't need his help, I didn't know why I started a fight with him. I picked my phone back up and called him back. His hello wasn't as sweet as the first time.
"What Harry"
"I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that. Thank you for helping me I did kind of need it"
"Okay"
"Please Lou"
"I'm busy Harry. I need to go"
"Busy with what?"
"Work"
"What work"
"My work, the work I need to do"
" oh "
The was a small silence before Louis spoke agin.
"Harry?"
"Yeah"
"What are we?"
My heart stared to beet faster. Why was he asking me I didn't know.
"What do you me?"
"Like our relationship. What is it"
"Erm I-i don't know"
"Well what do you want it to be?"
Why was he asking me these questions. I'm meant to be the one asking him.
"I-I don't know"
"Oh okay, well Harry I like you a lot"
"I like you a lot as well"
"Well do you want to try having more than a friendship?"
"Erm. Em. O-okay"
"Okay. Well I really need to go but I'll call you later or something"
"Okay"
"Bye"
Once agin he hung up the phone and the room felt quite and lonely. I lay on my bed at thought about what had just happened. Did this mean me and Lou where a couple. How could I still be confused even after we just spoke about it.
