Harry Styles

I sent a quick text to Niall hours before coming back home. I wanted our house to be  spot-free when we arrive. It's not like I've changed anything in it, it's just that it screams Harry has been a mess without you, Louis, and we don't want him knowing that just yet. Besides, I know Louis. He will start organizing stuff if he gets the opportunity. I wouldn't want him doing that.

We were almost in the freeway when Louis insisted on calling Zayn. I don't know why he did, but I said yes anyway.

"Zayn." Louis said in a stern tone as soon as he picked up. It was like how a father would sound when he's about to scold his firstborn son, but I decided not to point that out to him anymore.

"Louis? Where have you been? Did you know how worried we were? Are you okay?" Zayn asked him from the other line. I was holding the phone out for Louis since I can't let him hold it while he's driving.

"Not important. Where are you?" Louis asked.

"I'm at home with Liam,"

"I know the truth now, Zayn. Quit pretending. Where are you, really?" Louis asked again.

"I told you. I'm at Liam's. We just woke up." He said, just before Liam said "Hi."

"I know the truth about Hannah and the baby. I also know that you guys have been pretending to be a couple for me. You can stop pretending now." Louis said, thinking he knows everything there is to know about the whole set up.

"But we're not p-pretending anymore." Zayn told Louis. It sounded like he was trying to catch his breath, but I chose not to point that out anymore.

I knew it. I knew they were back together.

"Really?" I asked.

"Oh, y-you're with Harry?" Zayn asked, and I could hear weird sounds in the background. Louis must've heard them too because he cringed as soon as he heard it.

Oh.

"Are you guys playing that game again?" He asked Zayn. I'm not totally clueless, I think I know what he was talking about.

They didn't reply, but we can still hear them going at it so I hung up on before anything happens.

"Dunno what else we could've heard if you didn't hang up, honestly." Louis told me.

"That was a game?"

"It was. They first did it when we were in college. And you never get used to it. Other people don't notice, but I always do." He explained before changing the subject. "So...your house?"

"What about it?"

"Where is it, exactly?" He asked.
