Chasing The Sun

Single Bed Hotel Room

: l o u i s :

I get out of the shower and put my normal clothes back on and walk out to find Zayn sitting with his eyes fixed on the bathroom door. Waiting for me. He blushes and smile  at me.

" Hey Zayn. I think I'm going to go to bed now. " I lay down on the couch.

" No. I'll sleep on the couch. Sleep up on the bed. " Zayn says to me.

" I'm fine sleeping on the couch. I spent last night on the floor anyways. " I laugh remembering Lilly convincing me to sleep near her. She's like a little kid.

" Okay.. In the next hotel we end up in you get the bed. " Zayn says and lays down on the bed.

The I start thinking... What about Lilly? Is she okay? Last night she was falling apart and crying, and now I've just left her... I wonder if she's still at my house... I hope she's okay...

Oh my God it's bright in here. Oh Louis opened the curtains. I look up to see that he's on the phone. I sit and watch as he calls the same number several times and finally gives up. He looks like someone just kicked him in the gut. I wonder who he was trying to call... only one way to find out I guess.

" Morning Louis. " I say.

" Morning. " He says back.

" Who're you trying to call? " I ask.

" I was trying to call Lilly.. but she didn't pick up.. I hope she's okay. " He says.

" Well, you should just try later. It's only 7:40 in the morning. She might be sleeping. " I try to assure him.

" I'll just wait and see if she calls back.. wanna hit the road now then? "

" Sure. " I say and we clean up everything and pack up what we had taken out of the suitcases.

We walk down into the lobby and pay the woman for our stay and thank her.

" Goodbye sirs. " She says as we leave. She was very friendly.

" Bye. " Louis and I say in unison and I blush and look over at him to see he's blushing too.

We hop in the car and Louis starts playing with his hair as he drives.. I can tell he's stressed.

" Don't worry Louis. She's fine. I'm sure she's just sleeping or she's out doing something with her friends. " I reassure him.

" What if she's not? " He says pulling his sweaty hands through his soft hair.

" What's the worst that could've happened? " I ask.

" She could be with Austin. She could be with Harry. She could be hurt. " He's worrying more now.

" Settle down. Give me your phone and I'll call her for you if it'll make you feel any better. " I tell him.

" Okay. Thank you Zayn. " He says and hands me his phone and I ho into his contacts.. there are only 2 Mark and Lilly.

I dial Lilly's number.

It takes her only a few seconds to pick up.

" Louis? " She says with a pain in her voice.

" No. I'm Zayn, but I'm with Louis. " I say.

" Oh.. Hi Zayn. Is Louis okay? " She says sounding as if she's been crying.

" Yes he's fine. Are you okay? " I ask her.

" Not really, but please don't let Louis worry about me.. " She says and I can tell she doesn't want me to tell Louis.. I'm not sure if I will or not.
