My Step Brother | L.S |

Chapter 34

  On my way to work this morning I checked the mail and a letter was there with my name written on it. I didn't open it right away I tucked it my bag and made my way to work. Lately I had the urge to fly to London and find Louis I've been growing impatience. I wanted to see him, how was he doing? Was he alright? Louis did always look nervous whenever I mentioned his life back at London.

When I tried to talk to him about how it was living in London he would change the subject or straight up not say anything. I graduate in a couple weeks, and I already got accepted to four colleges but, I don't think I would of gotten this far if it wasn't for Louis. "Have you figured out what college you wanted to go to?" My manger asked me.

    "Mm, no I didn't know it would be this difficult.." I say sighing. "What college did you go to?"

   "Oh, I didn't go to college" he says carrying two boxes into the storage room. " I made it all on my own" He says grunting as he puts the boxes down then walks out smiling shaking the dust off his hands.
Not bad for someone who didn't go to college.
  I thought to myself.
    "But, I would suggest to go to college. It not easy finding a good paying job without a college degree, took me years and hard work to build my business."

     "Why does life have to be so hard!" I say letting out a big sigh.

   "Well, there are the lucky people and the unlucky people just believe in yourself and you'll get where you dream of being" he says patting my back. "Don't stress about it and remember things happen for a reason." I watch him walk out from the back door.

    "He is not wrong" one of my co-workers says walking into the room. "Things really do happen for a reason..."

    I look at him and, he smiles at me. "Need any help?" I shake my head.

    "No, thanks I'm good." I grab the box of papers as carry them out of the room to the office and placing them on the table. "Fuck..." I say grabbing my head.
  All this work is stressing me out it's giving me a huge headache.
    I walk out of the office walking to the locker rooms getting an aspirin from my bag and take it.

   "You know you could go home for the day, no need to drain yourself all day..." the same co-worker from earlier says coming in.

     "I'm okay, just a small headache caused by the sun it's no big deal" I say putting the aspirins back in my bag putting it in my locker. I walk out of the locker room and get back to doing my job.

"It's time to close make sure you have all your belongings!" The assistant manager yells to the employees left in the office. "Finally" I sigh stretching walking into the locker to get my bag.
I was saying bye to a few co-workers before heading out to my car. Mid-way to my car I got stopped by the same co-worker from earlier.

"Harry was it?" He asked.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier I'm Dane being working here for a few days now."

"Yeah, I noticed that, you didn't enter that long ago" I say fixing my bag on my shoulder.

"Well, on the way out you dropped this" he pulled out the letter from earlier.
Shit, completely forgot about the letter.
"I didn't mean to be a snoop or anything but, I need to read it so I could make sure who it belonged to" I remember opening it this morning but, never got the chance to read it.

"No worries, thank you." I say grabbing it and putting it back in my bag. We both said goodbye and turned around to go our separate ways.

"By the way!" He yelled making me turn around. "Congrats on graduating!"
How did he know I was graduating?

"Thanks!" I yell, he waved at me then walked away. I took out the letter and read it.
      Yo, I'm not good at making letters of any sort and I'm not sure if you are mad at me but, I wanted to say congrats on graduating from that shit hole called school. I'm really happy to hear that you are finally out of there, I can't think of better ways to tell you how happy I am to finally hear that you are graduating. Wish I could be there, I know that I'm probably the one person you don't want to hear from. I left without saying a word to any of you guys, and I do regret not telling you that (The rest of the sentence was crossed out with white out) graduations earlier!
Sincerely, Louis Tomlinson ...

My smile grew wider as I read on.
You don't know how happy I am to hear from you...
I fold the letter up and tug it in my coat. It might just be a letter but, it's from Louis and that is all that matters to me.

The letter came with no address so I was disappointed that I couldn't write back to him. "How was work?" My mom asked when I walked in.

    "Same old same old" I say hanging up my keys on the key holder. "What's for dinner?"

    "Spaghetti, dads favorite!" She smiles then walks back into the kitchen humming.

    "Yeah..again" I say sarcastic. "Mom, have you heard anything from Louis lately?"

   "Not since he left, why do you ask?" I sit down at the center counter.

   "I feel like giving him a visit in London" I say playing with my ring.

"Harry" she sighs putting her dish rag down.

"I know dad will get mad" She walks over to me and puts her hand on my shoulder. "I just want to see him one last time even if it's just a few seconds..."

"We know nothing about Louis, we don't know where he lives, or what's his phone number...there's no way of getting a hold of him" She rubs my shoulders. "If I knew I would of let you go months ago to see him."

I lay my arms on the table and burry my face in them. "I know how important Louis was to you and I'd love for you two to see each other again but, there is just no way to see him."

"Then let me find him!" I say raising my head up, making my mom jump and take a step back. "I'll go to London, I'll find people who have connections who know him they can take me to him."

My mom gave me a sad look and shook her head and, hugged me. "Sweetheart, if someone leaves without saying a word that means they don't want to be found..."

"Why did he run away from us...what did I ever do to make him run away? " I burry my face in her shoulders as she hugs me.

"I don't know honey, only Louis can answer that." Later that night I told Louis' dad that I was planning on going to London to find Louis. He stayed silent and didn't say anything. I brought it up again, and he yelled at me. He hated Louis for leaving without saying a word to him. I know he loves Louis and wants him back. He also wants to know that reason why he also left us. A simple goodbye isn't hard to say to someone. Unless he really wanted to leave that bad. I just want to know why...
