Their Saving Grace {One Direction AU}

Chapter 11

Liam's POV

 It's been two months. I finally got my cast off. The weather is starting to cool. Niall's little comment about me falling in love with on of the girls was false. Well I mean I like Riley but I don't think she knows anything about love or what it is.

At work Louis had been out sick. I don't think he wants to face me after what happened with Riley. That of finding out he was a dog hybrid.

"Payne, I see that you got your cast off." My boss greeted me when I walked into the small office building.

"Yeah Bill, I just got it off yesterday."

"Well Tomlinson was supposed to train you, but it looks like he won't be..." Bill stopped mid sentence to look out the window confused. "Never minds looks like Tomlinson just came in."

Bill and I walked outside. Louis was grabbing tools and putting them into a box.

"Tomlinson what are doing?" Bill asked.

"Packing my things. What do you think I'm doing?"

"Don't be a smart arse."

"I'm not,m I'm being sassy."

"That's still being a smart arse." I whispered to myself. knowing that he could hear me. Louis up from what he was doing and starred directly at me.

"I'm quitting boss. I'm quitting."

"Why?" Jack asked walking up behind Louis.

"Reasons." Louis fixed his blue beanie.

"It's because of me isn't it?" I asked him. Louis rolled his eyes, picking up his box, and walking between Bill and me.

"I don't know what's going on between you too, but Tomlinson you cant quit!" Jack yelled Louis stopped in his tracks.

"Why?!" Louis yelled back.

"Because it's a stupid reason to quit and you need to make up the two months you missed!" Bill told him.

"Why can't you just fire me and get over with?" Louis turned back around. His eyes landing on mine. I swallowed a lump in my throat.

"One you want to get paid right?" Louis nodded. "Two you would be job less. Threes you need to stop being a smart ares. Four Liam is going to be your new partner if you like it or not. And fifthly, that stupid hat that you require to wear. We can make you take it off and never be able to wear it again." Bill told Louis harshly.

Louis dropped his box. He reached for his beanie. "You cant make me. When I was younger I always had a cold head and the doctors order me always wear a heat. So yeah you cant." Louis replied.

"Just get back to work, and still no buts about working with Payne."

 Louis rolled his eyes, picked his boxed back up. He made his way towards us again. He dumped his tools out beside a truck, to work on. There was another truck right beside it. I stared to work on the truck, but I didn't know what I was doing. Louis was 'supposed to' help me.

"Aren't you supposed to be training me?"

"Yes but it's easy. You should be able to do it with out help."

"That's the thing Tomlinson. I've never worked or fixed a car in my life." 

"That sucks doesn't it?" Louis looked up and he already had grease on his face.

"What you problem? You were so nice and calm, when we first met. Then you basically got into a fight with my girlfriend. Now you re just being a total arse." I cant believe I had called Riley my girlfriend.
