Summer Love [Harry Styles Fanfiction]

Chapter 22

Cassie's POV

I've been laying here for the past 10 minutes trying to figure out what the weird noise coming from the bathroom was. I'm not afraid of some killer being in the house, that would be extremely unlikely. Besides, I am quite brave and I will go crazy if I don't go see what's causing that weird noise. I quietly got up from the bed being careful not wake Harry up. He's so perfect looking when he sleeps, like an angel or something. I know that sounds weird seeing as Harry's a guy, but he's seriously so precious.

I made my way over to the door and I stopped right before I opened it, I could tell what the noise was now that I'm closer to the sound- someone was crying. I quickly opened the door ignoring the fact that it made the loudest squeaking noise ever, but I didn't care. I needed to see who was crying. I fast-walked down to the bathroom and stopped to listen. It didn't sound like a girl crying, it sounded like a guy. Well- I didn't expect that. I knocked on the door before opening it slowly. The sight in front of me was truly heartbreaking. It was Liam.

"Liam," I breathed out and rushed down to his side, he still just sat on the bathroom floor crying. "What's going on?" I wrapped my arms around Liam and pulled him into my chest, running my fingers through his hair. He didn't answer me, instead he pulled his phone out of his pocket and went to his messages.

"Look," was all Liam said and then he handed me his phone. I scrolled through the messages and was a little confused until I read the contact name and the last text. The message read, "We're done. Don't bother asking why or talking to me ever again because I will not respond. Goodbye." well holy shit, that's pretty harsh- especially coming from Danielle.

Harry's POV

When I woke up a while ago I couldn't help but notice that Cassie was no longer in bed next to me. Rolling onto my side, I looked at the time on my phone and realized it was 8 at night; I guess that's what you get when you take naps during the day. I got out of bed and stumbled out into the living room. Louis and Zayn were sitting on the floor playing FIFA, imagine that.

"Have you guys seen Cassie?" I spoke up. 

"Holy shit, mate!" Zayn yelled and Louis turned around, they both wore the same shocked expression. 

"I didn't even realize you were out here," Louis said as he paused the game. "How long have you been standing there?" 

"Not too long," I looked around the room- still no sign of Cassie. "So have you seen her?" 

"Nah. Niall, Kate, and Tori went down to the beach a little bit ago, Zayn and I stayed in here gamin' up a storm, and I haven't seen Liam or Cassie," Louis spoke a little too fast, but I caught his drift.

"Oh alright. Mind if I hang out with you guys?" I winked. 

"Hang out with us? Are you serious?" Louis put his hands on his hips. "We're obviously too cool for you." 

"Right, I should have known," I put my head down in fake shame. 

"Actually," Zayn stood up from the floor and started to walk towards the door. "I'm too cool for you guys. I'm going to go meet up with everyone on the beach. You can come out later tonight if ya guys want, we'll probably have a bonfire," Zayn screeched like a girl and we all laughed. 

"Alright," I nodded. "I'll meet up with you guys later. I'll just hang out with Lou for now," I wrapped my arm around Louis' shoulders and gave him a squeeze. 

"Sounds good. See ya later!" Zayn waved to us and then headed out to the beach. 

"What do you want to do?" Louis asked. 

"I don't know. Want to go downstairs?" I shrugged. 

"Sure!" Louis ran down into the basement in about 10 seconds time and I just laughed. 

When I met up with Louis he was sitting in the recording studio on one of the stools. This place is seriously so cool, I wish we could take it back with us when we leave. 

"Wanna record a song together?" I smirked at Louis and he smirked back. 

Louis went into the recording booth while I messed around with the recording stuff outside. Once I got it all figured out I joined Louis in the booth. We put on our headphones and got ready to sing. 

"Wait," Louis started to laugh really hard. "What are we singing?" 

"You'll see," I smiled to Louis and once the music started to fill the small booth we were in, Louis' face lit up and I couldn't help but smile. Bittersweet memories started to race through my memory and honestly, I could have cried. 

"You're insecure," I started to mimic Liam's voice and Louis held back a laugh. "Don't know what for, you're turning heads when you walk through the door!" I pointed to Louis and turned my head dramatically. 

"Don't need makeup," Louis smirked. "To cover up-"

"OOOOOOO!" I screeched in a high pitched voice. 

"Being the way that you are is enough!" Louis blew a kiss towards me and I pretended to catch it. 

"Everyone else in the room can see it," I motioned to the imaginary people in the room. "Everyone else but Lou!" I fake gasped and Louis winked. 

We continued to sing the rest of the song like that and by the last line we were dying laughing. I haven't gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with Louis this summer and doing this made me realize just how much I missed him. Louis is truly my best mate. Holy shit. I shook my head and recieved a weird look from Louis. If only he know just how cheesy my thoughts were just a bit ago. 

"Harry? Louis?" I heard a voice muffled voice call out. Louis and I both took our headphones off and went upstairs to see who was calling for us.

"Where is everyone a-" Cassie started to speak but stopped when she saw Louis and I come up from the basement. I gave her a smile expecting one in return, but instead she gave me a sad look. What?

"It's Liam," Cassie sighed. "I've spent the past 2 hours with him and I'm so scared. He won't talk at all, he has just been staring at the wall nonstop."

"Why? What's going on?" I felt my stomach go in knots. Just hearing that Liam is in such a messed up state up mind makes me sick, he's always so calm and collected. 

"Danielle broke up with him and she won't respond to any of his calls or texts," Cassie was going to continue explanation, but Louis and I both ran down to his bedroom at the same time. When Louis knocked on the door there was no response so he opened the door anyway; however, Liam was no where to be found. We exited the room and I could hear loud banging and Cassie screaming upstairs. Shit. 

I ran upstairs to find Cassie banging on the bathroom door trying to get it to open. One look from Cassie and I knew Liam was in there. Louis and I both joined Cassie, taking turns yelling to Liam to open the door, but we got no response. After many failed attempts I slammed myself into the door and it came open. I'm pretty sure I broke my arm, but that's not what stopped my heart from beating. It was the sight in front of me.
