(ON HOLD) - The Black Note ( A Harry Styles and Zayn Malik AU)

A Small Change of Plans

*Charlie's POV*

My head hurts. I opened my eyes as I hear murmurs outside my bedroom door. Wait, I don't remember going up here.

I heard a voice from outside say "I'll just say goodbye." What is Niall doing here? That's when it hit me; running with Sam, sweating like crazy, he telling me that he'll be moving to Australia, loud sobs, Niall telling me that he'll turned the air conditioner off, me stopping him, feeling light-headed, collapsing.

"Knock, knock" Niall's head popped from outside my door.

"Come in" I mumbled quietly, my head still pounding like crazy.

Niall sighed. "I told you I should've turned the air conditioner off"

"Niall, stop it. I'm fine, well aside from the pounding in my head" I groaned massaging my temples.

Niall smiled but then, his face got serious. "Fine, but you need to rest and I mean rest. It’s already Friday tomorrow. Stay here and rest, I hope you didn’t forget about the cruise that will be on Saturday.  If I find you anywhere near the school campus I'll personally pulled you back ho-"

I laughed loudly, but then stopped when my head started the elephants inside my head started stomping again. “I think I already get the point, Niall” I smiled massaging my head.

If you’re just wondering, yes it’s Friday. Mr. Kipling decided that the classes will be resumed on a Sunday; cool huh? Not so, and believe me when I tell you that he has done much worse than that…

“I’ll get going now. I’ll just tell Lily that-“ I gave him a look and he sighed. “Fine, I’ll just tell just tell Lily and Alex that you that you can’t come to school tomorrow.” I nodded as a reply.

“Okay, I need to go now” He kissed my forehead and sent me one last smile and just like that, I’m alone again. I sighed and decided to just go back to sleep.

*the next day*

*Harry’s POV*

I walked towards Louis, Liam, and Zayn. Yes, I’m still ignoring him. I don’t know why really. Something just set me off when I found out that he saved m-Charlie, yeah Charlie. Speaking of Charlie, I have seen her friends awhile ago and she’s not with them. Where could she be?

“Harry!” I heard Louis shout at me. I nodded back giving him a grin. We talked for a bit, and then there was a quick change of topic.

“Hey Styles!” I turned to look at Liam and give him a questioning look. “Do you know that Charlie has bad fever?”

My posture completely changed “What?!” I saw the other lads give me knowing smirks. “I mean, where did you hear that?”

“On the way here, I heard Niall explain to the other girls the reason why Charlie’s missing” He shrugged.

“Oh” I rolled my shoulders back trying to keep my face blank.

“Is wittle Hawwy worried about Chawlie?” Louis teased in an annoying baby voice.

“No, I’m not.” I looked away, but I know in myself that what Louis what saying is right. I tried to keep myself from fidgeting on my seat.
