You're My Only Direction

Chapter Twenty-Two

If You Ever Come Back by The Script at Play Audio. This is a little bit of a different song chapter, because you play the song and read a little, stop, and then continue. Don’t worry it won’t be confusing; I tell you what to do once it gets to that point. And as always link to the song is on the side!

Louis’ POV

            The sun was streaming in through the blinds in the hotel room. I squinted my eyes as I glared over at the light source. Grumbling, I flipped over on my stomach. That’s when my dream from last night came back to me. It was so strange…

            No, strange isn’t the right word. It was terrible, it was awful, it was the worst thing that I have ever experienced. Thank god it was only a dream… If Harry would’ve left me in real life…well I don’t know what I would do.

            “Haz, I need to tell you about my dream, it was so…weird,” I mumbled, hands searching for his body. But as my hands snaked through the sheets they didn’t find him. I snapped my eyes open in confusion and stared at the empty bed.

            I sat upright and scoured the room; he was nowhere in sight.

            “HAZ?!?!” I called.

            There was no answer.

            Where the hell could he be?

            I hopped out of bed and shuffled into the bathroom. He wasn’t there either. I checked the closet, not because I expected him to be hiding in there but because I was searching for his belongings. They were nowhere to be found either.

            Were we supposed to meet early in the lobby this morning but I forgot? No, we are leaving around lunch time… Plus, Harry would’ve woken me.

            Then where the hell is he?!?!

            I’ll go check with Liam and Niall!

            I sprinted down the hall and proceeded to bang mercilessly on their door.

            “NIAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!!! LIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!”I shrieked as my hands began to ache from the pounding.

            A very disheveled and very annoyed Niall answered the door. I have never seen so much anger in his eyes. For a moment I forgot what I had come there for because I was so caught off guard by that glower.

            “What do you want?” He demanded.

            “Harry’s missing!” I croaked.

            “What do you mean ‘Harry’s missing’?” Niall asked, looking slightly concerned but mostly incredulous.

            “I mean: he’s not in the hotel room and all of his stuff is gone!” I shouted, throwing my hands up in exasperation.

            “No way!” Niall replied with wide eyes.

            “Yes way, Niall, he is gone and I have no idea where he went!” I screamed.

            “Have you called him?” Niall asked in an attempt to calm me down.

            “…No…I-I…hadn’t thought of that…” I muttered, avoiding Niall’s eyes. How could I be so stupid? Why didn’t I think of that?

            I dialed Harry’s number, but an electronically automated voice answered.

            “This number has been disconnected,” the voice droned.
