Away

Chapter9

Sry this chapter was short but I'm tried, so thanks for reading and imma go sleep now.

I wake up to someone laughing.

I blink my eyes open, trying to clear the remainder of my sleep from my eyes. When the blurriness fades, I see Harry standing in the doorway.

Suddenly he realizes he has woken me up.

His smile fades and he whispers, "Sorry. I didn't want to wake you up. I just thought you were deep sleeper."

I close my eyes again, not willing to give up this happy moment with Louis.

I don't know what it is. I know I may be moving too fast, and I also don't want to hurt Kyle.

But there is something about this boy. I feel as if I know him. As if I have known him for a long time and he has known me longer. He wants to protect me and has said he loved me.

I lay there for who knows how long, but much longer than I think, apparently. I might have fallen asleep again at one point.

Eventually Harry comes over and taps me on the shoulder.

"What?" I whine.

"We're rotating in an hour."

"Okay?" I say, irritation overtaking my voice.

"Well, than, Ms. Sass Arse. He has to go. There are things he has to do for our group to function." Harry is kneeling in the dirt, but I am still looking up at him because I am laying down with Louis.

"But, I don't.... I don't want him... Don't make him go. Please?" I don't know what's wrong with me. I am close to tears.

"I'm sorry, Cerulean. But, he has things to do. He has been trying to get us to agree to a shopping trip to get you some new clothes," Harry tells me.

"Really?"

"Well, he said that he wanted to 'get more supplies' and 'make it possible' for you to 'be seen' when we have to do things in public. But Niall and I had our suspicions and Zayn kind of blocked him out. But this confirmed my theory." Harry smirks.

"What?" I look at him with my eyes narrowed.

"Did you two fuck?" His green eyes are light up with amusement.

My face turns red. "WHAT?! NO!!"

Louis hears me and fidgets in his sleep.

His arm wraps around me tighter and he moves to sit up a little more. He blinks his blue-green eyes awake.

He has eyes only for me and beams at me, making me smile. A real smile. That has not happened in the past 3 years. Not since Erin died.

Harry clears his throat behind me and Louis moves his eyes from me to the guard over my shoulder.

"Harry!" Surprise echoes in his voice.

Harry smirks. "Yes, Harry."

"Thanks for showing up, mate. Rotation and all. Gotta keep it flowing." Louis stands up, smiling at Harry.

'Fake smile,' I think to myself.

"Yea, well, I am off duty in exactly," Harry checks his watch, "37 minutes."

Louis' face goes drains of color. "I slept for that long?"

"Christ, Tomlinson! You're almost as pale as Cerulean!" Harry laughs.

In a flash, the shorter, older boy has Harry pinned against the wall. "Take it back," he growls.

My eyes go wide. What just happened? What is happening?

Harry narrows his eyes. "Or what?"

Louis let's go. "You're right," he says calmly, turning around. "The best way to get through to your brain isn't by pounding something against that thick skull of yours. It's by Tessa."

The way he says "Tessa" makes it sound threatening, and there is a little hit of something from the past.

Harry's face turns pale as Louis does a sass walk out of the stall.

"You wouldn't." Fear covers every part of Harry. His voice, body language, and most of all: his eyes.

The last bit of Louis that I remember from this encounter is him saying, "Oh, but I would......"
