Fall.// h.s au Short Story

Chapter 21

It's been 2 weeks ever since the wedding. Since it was November already the weather got much colder. I actually like my outfit today; I was wearing this brown wool trench coat with a grey neck turtle and light blue jeans with my black free runs.

Class was so boring; Mr. Rosalyn was just talking about when you should inference. Usually Harry would be here to make his crude remarks but I haven't seen him for the whole two weeks. He would text and tries to call me time to time but when I asked where he was, he would change the topic. I have been listing down our assignments and texting them to Harry since he wasn't in class and since I was with him for the first two.

I have been keeping up with my mum and sister. Uncle Mitch was lodging in our house till further notice. I haven't spoken to my dad yet, I'm not ready I never will be. It's hard to accept the fact that a straight married man cheated on his wife. I'm not against homo but we all thought my father was straight. I need time to think about it, of course he will always be my father it's just rough right now.

After my second class, I decided to meet up with Regan and Marc at our campus coffee shop to just talk about some shit. We're like those best friends that even when we don't talk to each other a lot, we're still good.

As soon as I enter the shop I smile when I spot Marc and Regan.

"Hey whores!" I exclaimed while sliding into the booth so I'm across from them.

"How was your romantic getaway with your boyfriend?" usually she would laugh and act eager but today she just softly smiled. Regan was wearing her think jacket drinking her coffee while Marc was wearing his vest leaning on the wall with his arm around her.

"We only stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights. I guess it was fun." I replied, thinking about Harry ignoring me, him yelling and crying.

"That's great Lauren; you finally have a guy who could put up with you." Marc smirked. I reach over the table to playfully punch him, knowing he was just joking around.

"How were you guys?" I felt like I haven't given Regan enough attention even though we always talk to each other when we have problems.

"Oh well, we had sex, partied, chill" Regan blurted, I quickly cover my ears and interrupted her since I couldn't cover my ears well enough.

"TMI Regan." I laughed. We all seemed to talk for hours and by the time I knew it I had my last class for today.

As I opened my door to my dorm I was shocked. El and Louis were like fucking. I quickly cover my eyes and head back out to the hallway. After a few minutes from loud whispering and moving in the room El called me in.

"You can come in now Laur!" El yelled from inside the room. As I entered Louis sat on El's bed acting innocent while El joined along after shutting the door.

"Next time please tell me." I cried out loud. "I have to wash my eyes in bleach every time I see your bed now." I jump on my bed and sit up to keep a conversation up with them. "Louis, do you know where Harry is?" I ask while taking off my coat. El was just playing on her phone while slouching on Lou.

"He said he had stuff to fix in Manchester. Don't you know?' he flips his hair and stuffs his hands in his pockets from his jean jacket.

"No actually." I lie down on my bed and close my eyes thinking about why Harry wouldn't tell me.

"It's ok he's coming back tomorrow which is what?"

"Friday," Eleanor answers completing his sentence. "He said he was having a party or something that's what Zayn told me."

"Oh okay thanks then." Oh Harry.

~

It's a Friday; I tried to contact Harry for the whole day. Text, call, I even snapchatted him. My last class was done and I'm going straight to my dorm to get ready for a party I wasn't invited too. Does it even matter? I'm Harry's official girlfriend I don't need to get invited.

Eleanor wasn't in the room when I came back she's probably still in class. The party starts around 6 so I'm just going to chill before getting ready. I cuddled in my comforter and went on Netflix to watch the vampire diaries. After two hours I decided to get ready. The thing that's been bothering me the most is that Harry is back but he didn't try to contact me back. I understand if he went to Manchester without me because he has some personal problems but I thought we talked about not pushing each other away.

I wore a white halter top with black skinny jeans and wore my black bomber jacket. I couldn't decide on what shoes to wear, my superstars or my black Jordan retro 3. At the end my Jordan's won. My hair was in loose curls and my makeup was pretty strong, eyeliner, falsies, highlight. I'm so ready to surprise Harry. I want it to be like 'yo look what you missed out on for 2 weeks' Type of thing.

Thankfully El offered me a ride when she came back from class. Her outfit was to cry for, a leather jacket, black bralette, and black high waist shorts. We hoped into her yellow Toyota Prius and drove straight to Harry's frat.

Some rock music was playing on low volume while El and I were cracking some jokes.

"Anyways, how did you convince Harry to date again?" El laughed while turning her signals on.

"I actually don't know but here's a thing. He pretended to be my boyfriend in front of my family so he could actually show PDA without being judged." We laughed so hard.

"So he didn't seem to act like a fuckboy since he was your boyfriend? Dead oh my god." She removes the hair from her face and continued. "Louis and I have been dating for 3 years and he never pulled that on me."

"What is Louis like as a boyfriend to you?" I ask while turning my body more to her.

"He's great we both love to party, he's really funny and kinda cocky but he's supportive and he's there whenever I need him." She says truthfully while her cheeks turn a little red.

"Goals honestly," I giggle a bit and look straight to the road. "to be honest though he actually kind of sounds like Harry with the supportive, cocky thing."

"Harry isn't as bad as a boyfriend, I heard when he was still dating Stace, he would spoil her all the time and just shower her with love. I remember when we went to Disney land they couldn't stop showing PDA."

"Harry doesn't really talk about her. Do you know her like how did this whole thing start?"

"Well, Harry moved around here when he was 12 so six years ago with his aunt after his father passed away. Louis, Harry and I went to high school together. Harry would take the summer off to Cheshire to learn more about his family business. During 9th grade Harry met Stacy and they hit off there. God, they dated for four years and during our graduation party Stacey was caught cheating on harry with his cousin."

9th grade, wow they dated for their whole high school years. I can't compete with that Harry and I have only been dating for like 3 weeks. "Did you know her?" I bite on my lip feeling a bit uneasy with the information I had just learned.

"Obviously, we were best friends." She laughed at my stupidity. "C'mon we're here you look like you're ready to party."
