Louis doesn't go to school for the rest of the week and the week afterwards. He had entered a depression which he decided to blame on Harry.

On the first day Louis didn't go to school, Dan let him skip because Louis usually never takes days off.

"You sure you don't want to go?" Dan asks softly to a grumpy Louis.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure." Louis grumbles and Dan decides to leave him alone.

Louis stays in his bed unless he needs to go to the bathroom or eat a bit.

On Friday Louis began to get the shakes. He was suffering from withdrawal. Although he just said it was a cold.

It wasn't.

He had a temperature of 38°c and was puking anything he consumed.

"I can fucking do this!" Louis shouts as he pukes up half a sandwich he ate for lunch.

Louis had decided he didn't need Harry or anyone to help him get sober because Louis could do it himself, at least that's what he told himself.

He also wasn't getting sober for anyone but himself and to prove to everyone he isn't some pussy drug addict.

It was October 24th, a Monday, when Louis finally had a normal temperature and could keep food down.

"Oh Louis, you're dressed." Jay was sat at the kitchen table.

"Is your fever gone, do you feel better?" Jay gets up from her seat to put her hand on Louis's forehead.

"Yeah mum, I feel great. I'm gonna go to school to pick up me assignments. See you in a bit." Louis kisses his mum on the cheek and heads out quickly.

As Louis walks to school he gets a whack in the back in the head.

"Hey! What the fu- Eleanor?" Louis turns around to see a pissed off Eleanor.

"What the fuck, Louis? You just hurt Harry and don't show up for two weeks, huh? You don't even think to apologize?" Eleanor shouts at Louis and punches his shoulder.

"Piss off, El. I'll apologize today. I got sick, I couldn't come to school." Louis explains and starts walking towards school before Eleanor can say anything.

"Listen here." Louis is stopped again when Eleanor pulls Louis back by his shirt collar.

"You better take Harry to the dance and treat him like a fucking prince. And you're gonna make love to that boy, no fucking. He isn't one of your man whores. If he tells me you don't make his night special I'll chop your balls off." Eleanor threatens.

"Why do you want me to have sex with Harry, I thought you'd want me to not do anything sexual to him?" Louis grabs Eleanor's arm and starts walking again. They would be late if Eleanor kept stopping them to talk.

"Fuck no, I want him to have experience. He'll be torn up in Uni if he is still a virgin. I only let him date you because I know you would teach him everything and wouldn't rape him or something like the other savages at our school." Eleanor explains to Louis.

"Whatever." Louis groans and Eleanor pushes him.

"Get your ego out of your ass. Harry is the best thing to happen to you. That boy loves you and deserves the same respect back. I know you're capable of love." Eleanor tries to reason with Louis.

"Ugh, fine. I'll be nicer." Louis gives in. He didn't have the energy to fight Eleanor. He was too drained out and sober.

"Good." The two of them keep to themselves until they part ways to get to their classes.

As Louis walks to his first hour that he has with Harry, he plans what he will say. If Harry doesn't forgive me, that's his fault Louis thinks. Louis didn't think he did anything mean but if Harry's going to be difficult Louis was just going to give in.

"Harry!" Louis hollers as he sees Harry walking to class. Harry stops to turn around and has a surprised look on his face when he sees Louis.

"What do you want?" Harry didn't have his usual smile on his face and it kinda upset Louis that he was the one who upset Harry.

"I'm sorry for being a dick." Louis mutters and tries to not make eye contact with Harry.

"And?" Harry says and Louis looks up confused.

"And... I'm sorry for hurting your feelings and being gone for a while. Which I was proving you wrong by the way." Louis just can't seem to not be a smart ass.

"What does that mean?" Harry didn't seem amused by Louis.

"I wasn't doing any drugs and I could have but I didn't. I don't need help. I'm in control." Louis lies. Yes he lies. He did stay clean but that's only because there were no drugs nor alcohol in the house. He would have definitely taken those substances if they were in the house.

"I guess I was wrong. I forgive you, Louis. Just no more drugs please. Like prison drugs, okay?" Harry perks right back up and it makes Louis feel good inside. Even better than drugs.

"Yeah alright." Louis shrugs as he hugs Harry tightly. They walk to class together and Louis thinks whether he'll really quit or not.

He had planned to when he was going through withdrawal. Louis really thought about it and he knew eventually he'd have to choke with how many drugs he did. But again Louis wouldn't admit to stopping for anyone but himself.

"Where the fuck have you been?" Zayn and Niall ask in unison. Louis was walking out of school when the two spotted him.

"Sick." Louis shrugs and starts walking home with them.

"Fuck no, mate. You were not sick." Zayn calls bullshit.

"Well I was sick, you can ask me mum. I had liquid coming out of every single one of me holes." Louis grimaces at the awful experience.

"How the fuck did you get sick? Niall asks.

"I quit drugs." Louis says proudly.

Zayn and Niall look at each other before bursting out laugh.

"You, sober? Ha!" Niall cackles and Louis scowls.

"Fuck you. I actually did it and I'm not going back." Louis states.

"Whatever you say, mate." Zayn says.

Louis just ignores the two and walks ahead to get home faster.

When Louis arrives home, his mum is on the couch with Anne.

"How are you feeling bub, I was worried all day if it was okay of me to let you go to school." Jay turns his attention to Louis.

"Is Harry here?" Louis asks instead of answering his mum.

"Uh, yeah. He's up in your room. Now answer my question." Jay smiles as she gets up from the couch to hug Louis.

"Yeah, mum. I feel just fine. I'm gonna go upstairs. Love you. Bye Anne." Louis waves off as he speeds upstairs.
