More Than Friends ( a harry styles fanfic)

Chapter nine

Louis' POV continued

I pulled into the parking lot and parked my car out back. I grabbed my keys and locked the car and began to walk into the building. the cold air whipping against my cheeks. I really should have grabbed a sweater. it may be summer but it's still early in the season here.

When I walked in I noticed only two customers sitting at a table. tonight shouldn't be too bad. I greeted Louise at the counter and went in the back to punch in.

I set my stuff down in the back and put my phone on vibrate in my pocket. almost immediately, it went off.

Message from Styles:

"Lou! what the hell?! why didn't you tell me you had to work?"

"Um Harry I did. where's the note I left? I will be home on time. it's only until 12:30am."

I put my phone back in my pocket and took my spot at the register. what a drama queen he can be sometimes!

There wasn't really many customers so I took an early break.

I ordered myself a donut and a tea. I didn't want to be too wound up. I still have to sleep a bit before going out for breakfast tomorrow. I sat and watched as the clock struck midnight. only 30 minutes until I can leave. That's when my phone rang.

"What Harry?" I asked into the phone.

"What time are we doing breakfast?"

"Oh my gosh. um 7 so I will have some time to sleep. then after breakfast around 10 we will take them to the spa and they will call us when it's over. Then we will go out for dinner and then a movie."

"Alright and what movie did you have in mind?"

"I told you Romeo and Juliet. the new version they made."

"Right sorry. I just wanted to make sure I had all the details."

"Alright well my breaks up. I will be back soon. and when I do get back I'm going to sleep. I'm done talking about this for now."

"Well meh. see ya when ya get up."

"Good bye."

I shoved my phone back into my pocket. 28 minutes couldn't come any sooner. all I want right now is to just go home and curl up with Eleanor and finally get some sleep. Is that really so much to ask for?

27...........

24...........

Each minute felt like hours. I couldn't help but start my own little count down. it was like New Year's Eve. I stared at the clock like I was waiting for the huge mirror plated ball to drop signaling a new year. each minute counted correction, each second. I was tired and desperate for sleep. can I just get off early? I mean I've done it before. Louise just signed me out at the correct time when I did. I continued to stare at the clock. it had become my enemy. how slow can one minute be?

"Finally! I shouted punching out. I was more than ready to leave. so much so Louise was even shocked.

"Uh. Lou, everything alright.?"

"Yes! I'm so happy to go home."

"Well geese don't get too emotional" she laughed.

"Eh well I have got to go. I have a bed waiting for me to sleep."

"Nice personification."

"Please. no big words this early" I scoffed

"Fine. go."

I grabbed my things and headed towards my car. once again my phone rang.

"What Harry!"

"Um first, not Harry. second how is he anyway?"

"Adison?"

"Do you not have caller ID?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"About Harry or the caller ID?"

"Harry duh."

"Well I heard that he got into quite the fight today."

"That's not you're business"

"Oh please Lou. anyway, was it to protect his little ho bag?"

"Um Alex is not 'a ho bag'"

"We all have our opinions. answer my question. was it for her?"

"Why the hell do you even care?"

"James knows the guy he beat up."

"Then why doesn't James ask Max like a normal person."

"Max can't really talk correctly. he's lost a few teeth today."

"That's his fault for hurting Alex and hunting her down to start the terror all over again!"

"So it was for her!"

"What does it matter?!"

"We just wanted to know how much he cares for her. apparently a lot. thanks Lou."

"What are you planning?"

"Nothing more than a simple little fight."

"Don't you dare touch her!"

"Well you're protective! we aren't going to hurt her Lou. James wants to fight Harry to win Alex back for Max."

"She will never go back to him!"

"You really don't get it do you? she doesn't have a choice. she NEVER did"

The last three words stung. they were all I could hear 'she never did' repeated over and over again.

"Adison. you James and Max will stay the hell away from us or so help me god I am calling the cops!"

"Do it you have no proof!"

"I'm recording this conversation now Adison. I have all the proof I need."

I hung up and dialed the police. I wasn't going to let anyone get hurt
