Catch me if you can [NARRY AU]

Chapter sixteen

I woke up wishing I hadn't. I had a killer headache but my wounded heart hurt more. I looked at my alarm only to see it was 2 pm. How long did I fucking sleep? I was surprised I actually slept, I guess I cried myself to sleep. I turned around so I was looking at the ceiling. I hated him. I really did.

I went over the week. A week. I only knew him for a week and I was already crying because of him. That's not normal. Louis warned me, but I was too stupid to listen. God, I hated myself even more than I hated him. I didn't want to say his name, didn't want to think about his name. I know when someone will say his name, I cry.

On Monday I met him. On tuesday I got to know him. On Wednesday we went on a date. On Thursday he ignored me. On Friday he gave me a blowjob. On Saturday he left me. On Sunday I'm crying, and he? Probably laughing and high-fiving his mates, making fun of me.

I didn't want to get up, but I didn't want to be sulking over him all day either. Christmas was in a few days and we still didn't have a tree, nor did I bought presents. I got up and walked downstairs. Louis and Liam were playing a game on Liam's phone and had shock plastered on their faces when they saw me walking down. I probably looked horrible, but right now I wanted my thoughts on Christmas and not on a stupid bad boy with stupid blonde hair and stupid tattoos and stupid lips and... no stop it right now.

"Hi Haz, are y-" Louis stared but I cut him off. Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.

"We're getting a Christmas tree. Right now" I stated. I was still in my clothes from yesterday, but I didn't care. I already headed for the door when Louis' voice stopped me.

"Haz, wait for us!" he was smiling. Louis was always happy around this time of the year, as was Liam. Maybe their happiness was mine.

They grabbed their coats and we got in Louis' car. We drove to a place near college, knowing they sold trees there. None of us talked on the way, and that made me happy. I talked when I wanted to, not when someone wanted to talk about my problems. And Louis and Liam knew that. I made a mental note to get them their Christmas wish this year, because they were my best mates and I love them. I was not afraid to admit that.

Once we got to the place were they sold the trees, it was full of people. Apperantly, we weren't the only people who hadn't got a tree yet. We walked around a bit. I didn't care what kind of tree we got. Hell, I didn't even know the difference between them. In my eyes every tree was green. The only thing that mattered was if it'll fit in our apartment. Louis didn't seem to care either, but Liam on the other hand needed a special one. We let him wander around until he called us over because he found 'the perfect tree'.

Once we decided to buy it, we only needed to find a way to get it to our apartment. We weren't strong enough to get it on the roof of the car, so we searched for someone to help us.

I wandered around, looking for a strong person to help us. I saw all kinds of people, but not the one I was looking for. I know I should be looking for someone with some muscle, but I found myself searching for blonde hair and tattoos. I was looking for rude comments and fingers that were wounded from playing guitar. I was hoping I would find blue eyes and an Irish accent. And that's when Liam found me on the ground baling my eyes out.

With help from the owner we got the tree up the roof of the car and we drove home. And again, no one talked. I felt pathetic for crying once again, but it was something I couldn't control. The tears just had their own will. It was stupid to cry over a boy I only knew for a week, but I was really getting fond of him. I liked him. He made his way into my brain, and also, into my heart.

We got home and we easily got the tree from the roof. I opened the door so Louis and Liam could carry the tree in our home quickly. They sat it in the corner and we shrugged off our coats.
