Chapter 1 - 'Hey baby, I'm home'

Year 2016

Harry Styles

'You can put the box right there.' I pointed at the door right next to the window. I stared at the new living room for a few minutes and it looked actually pretty good. Just the imagination of sitting in front of the fire on the couch with a glass of wine felt cozy. I can't wait until we finally finish all the things in here and move in.

'Thank you, Niall. I'll call you if I need something else.'

'You can call me anytime. See you.'

As he walked through the door my phone started to ring. 'Hello?' I answered.

'Hey Honey, is everything finished?' asked Charlize.

'Actually there are a few things in the living room left.'

'Make sure you pack our backs, baby. The country club needs a visit from me after two days. See you in two hours.'

I ended the phone call and started to unpack all the things. I put the weeding photos from me and Charlize right next to the tv and found something at the end of the carton. I slowly took the old photo between my hands and looked at it.

'I've missed you', I whispered in his ear as we hugged. 'It felt like forever', he said. I nooded and looked at the face I haven't seen for months. 'Didn't i told you college wouldn't tear us apart?', he asked and I grinned.

He showed me his dorm and his roommate Devin. 'Nice to meet you, Devin!', I said as i took his hand. 'The pleasure is mine, Harry!' I sat on Louis' bed and listened to his and Devins first day here. 'It was so chaotic!', Devin laughed. Louis cpuld only agree and it felt so good to see him happy like that.

'Now tell me about you, guys. Where did you hide Harry all this time, Louis?', Devin asked, as he laughed. Louis put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. 'Harry and I have known each other since we're 6. But we're together since we were freshmans in high school.'

'Thats actually pretty cute. Who asked who?', Devin asked again.

'Louis asked me!', I grinned proud.

'Are you in a relationship, Devin?', since I'm here I wanted to ask him. Not because I'm jelaous. For god's sake, no. he seemed like a nice guy and i trust Louis.

'We don't know each other since we're 6, but we met in High School too. Her name is Deidre.'

I smiled. 'Her name is beautiful.'

'And she is too. Look at her!', Louis grabbed a picture from Devins wall and showed me. 'Yes, she is.'

Her blonde, curled hair was long and her big brown eyes pricked out. Devin had his arm around her. It was a prom picture. After a little lunch with the two, I had time to spend my day with Louis. 'So what do you wanna do?', he asked.

'As long as I'm with you, i don't care what we do. All i have is right here.'

'I'm so glad you finally made it', he said.

'You know, the first year is always so stressful.'

I kissed him slowly and felt something in me, i couldn't describe. Something was about to change. And I dind't liked the feeling.

I shook my head to get rid ouf the thoughts. The more i thought about him, the worse i felt. How I could me that stupid, and how could I let him go? Day by day i felt terrible. Before i could think about him again, my wife Charlize came up too me. 'Hey baby, I'm home.'
