The Reason We Fight (L.S.)

4. December

(Two weeks later, December)

Ring! Ring!  

Harry's phone goes off for the third time. He sits up, grabs the phone and answers it.

"Hello?" Harry said with his raspy morning voice.

"Hey, just reminding you about the meeting we're having later at 5," The familiar Irish voice say.

"Oh, yeah... I didn't forget about it. And last time you did the same. Calling to remind me. Why?" Harry say while he rubs one of his eyes to fully wake up.

" You've been arriving late to meetings lately... So I guess I could help you with that."

"Ohh." 

"Yeah... Anyways, see ya later?" Niall asked.

"Yeah sure," Harry responds.

"Okay bye." 

"Bye," Harry says before hanging up.

He gets up from his bed, goes to the bathroom and notices his mess of curls from the mirror. The previous night, he cried himself to sleep. Just thinking about his mother, sister and everything of the past makes him cry very much. The feeling of wanted, freedom, being loved are the main things that Harry misses from his past. Now it's just made up of loneliness, danger, and death... But this wasn't the first time have cried. When he was in North Carolina, he was offered to call his mother and to hear her sweet loving voice for the last time, before being forced into PTI. That was the last time Harry heard Anne's voice. That's when depression took advantage of him. He feels as if he has no one. He feels alone. But he keeps it in and hidden. Smiling every day.

He gets out of the bathroom, grabs a towel from his closet, and goes back to the bathroom. He then turns on the shower and strips off his clothes. When he enters, he shivers to the results of cold water running down his body. It took a few seconds for his body to adjust to the water temperature.

After taking a shower. Harry goes to the kitchen to make himself breakfast. After eating breakfast, he goes on Netflix and starts watching movies and episodes.

Three movies and two episodes of AHS later, Harry hears his phone ringing from the kitchen. So he gets up, goes to the kitchen and answers.

"Hello again," Harry said.

"Hey, Um I'm going to be waiting for you at the subway station near your building okay?" Niall says in a rush.

"Okay."

"Oh and if you're not here by 4:25 I'm leaving without you," Niall says before hanging up without a goodbye.

Harry takes off his phone from his ear to check the time. '3:58' His eyes widen in shock. He immediately turned off his television and goes to his room. He clearly doesn't have enough time to shower again. So he skips into changing. He puts on black skinny jeans, a navy blue tee shirt, and his boots. Just as he was about to leave the apartment, he remembered about his jacket. So he goes back inside, into his closet, and takes out his coat from the hanger.

Then he's on his way to the subway station. He takes out his phone from his back pocket. Since he forgot his watch at home, he checks the time on his home screen. '4:15' He sighs in relief, that he doesn't have to worry about arriving late today.

When he arrives at the station, he could immediately identify the blond boy on his phone as Niall.

"Well, I'm here," Harry said. Niall looked up to a smiling Harry.
