CHAPTER 22

Louis is in his room, doing who knows what...I tried to convince him to come out, but he said I was being mean. Really Louis? I'm being mean? I've sacrificed so much for you and you give me crap all the time you're so- never mind..I just want the old Louis back..I know I say this far to often but I do. I miss him. Just as I sat down on the couch to watch tv, the phone rang. I picked it up. Who could be? I don't think it's doctor...I've been giving Louis his medicine although it doesn't seem to help, it makes extremely loud and hyper then he gets all hysterical and starts bawling..it's just..yeah. "Hello, this is Liam. Who is it?" "Hey bro it's zen" "ohh hey Zayn" I chuckled at how he pronounced his name "zen" "So what's up?" I asked yawning, even though we got some sleep, I don't feel rested at all. "I was just wondering if you could do me a favor, Perrie and I are going out and I was wondering if you could pick up a package from the post office for her. She just told me she'd pay you" Zayn giggled, "no no don't pay me, we're friends aren't we? I'll get it in a bit,bye" I laughed hanging up the phone and then wondering how I could possibly make this work if Louis's is in his room and refuses to come out. I have a bad feeling about this..but it might work and it's only for about an hour. I have to run some errands anyways and I don't need want to bring Louis. I bit my lip and walked down the hall to Louis's bedroom, I knocked on the door, "h-hey Louis? I have to run an errand for Zayn and might stop at the store on my way back, but would it be ok with you if I left you home? I-I trust you.." Owch that last part hurt to say..I'm not sure if I trust him..but if he thinks I do then maybe he'll be ok on his own. It's only for an hour, what could go wrong? I didn't get an answer as soon as I would've liked but in a minute or two he opened the door and said "ok". Now he looked as though he'd been crying and he was hiding his arm behind his back. "You sure? It's ok if you don't want to be left alone..I-I'll let you tag alone if you'd like" "n-no it's o-ok" he stuttered glancing around, I don't know..maybe it was just me, but he seemed different..I don't know..he looked extremely depressed but not like I'd seen before. "You ok?" I asked trying to hug him, he wiggled out of my grasp and stepped back. "Louis what's bothering you? You're not ok" I said, beginning to worry some because he was acting so strange. "I'm ok" he said giving me a weak smile. Something I hadn't seen in a while but it didn't change what I thought, he didn't look happy and was so pathetically trying to act like he was. "Lou..tell me" he shook his head and shut the door. What was I going do..I know I shouldn't go..but I promised Zayn. Maybe Louis is just sad because I'm leaving..I'll be back soon though he should know I'll come back I won't leave him. "I'll be back Louis, I'm not leaving you" I sighed grabbing my keys. Suddenly he threw open the door, raced over and grabbed me in a hug. It wasn't like normal though he was practically strangling me he was holding on so tight. "woah man, what's wrong?" I asked looking down into his tear filled eyes. He sighed and stared into my eyes saying " t-thank y-you..for being here for me..I-I know I'm a b-bad person b-but you still like me" "Louis why wouldn't I? I'll always be here for you. You're my best friend...I love you" he turned his head and looked out the window. "You don't mean it...n-no one c-can love me after what I've done.." "Lou, that was an accident..we all know you would NEVER do a thing like that on purpose" "n-no.." Was all he could manage, he pulled away from my hug and crossed his arms looking at me strangely. I noticed he had more cuts on his arm...oh so that's what he didn't want me to see earlier..well you don't do a very good job of hiding it Louis...he had on a T-shirt, I think, it was Harry's shirt..I-I'm not sure..He walked back to his bedroom,he stopped in the door way, glanced at me once more before giving a weak smile and then shut himself in his bedroom.
