Change (punk h.s.)

Chapter 26

It's been about five days since the party, since I was high, for the first time, intentionally. I still feel a bit depressed but not as much as I did the day after. I just stayed in bed all day, Harry coming in once in a while to check up on me. The same thing happened the day after that but on the third day I had to go to work but even then he came up to check on me. I felt like a little child, him being a way too concerned parent. It was annoying me so much I was so close to throw cookie bags at him but of course I didn't. After a long, long day at work I finally got home but there he was, asking how my day was, asking how I was feeling at the moment, asking if I needed anything. The same thing happened on the fourth day, yesterday, and I had finally had enough, I just left the apartment. I might have yelled at him for being too nosy and he might have yelled back at me. To be honest, I can't really remember.

So I headed out, first I decided to go to Susan's but Harry would have definitely found me there, but would he have even tried to look for me? I really have no idea... So I decided to walk around, looking for somewhere to "hide" from Harry. I just walked and walked as I cursed under my breath, Harry really did piss me off that day. I didn't have any idea where I was heading but then I remembered that Niall lived near where I was so I decided to head there, hoping he wouldn't mind if I would just walk up to his apartment without any kind of notice.

It was just about to rain as I step in the building, taking the elevator up because my feet were hurting from the walking. I pushed the button to the floor his apartment was and waited, waited and waited. The elevator was really slow, very old looking as well. After what felt like 30 minutes I was finally in fifth floor, the elevator doors opened and I stepped out, walking to the door of his apartment, ringing the doorbell and few seconds later the door was opened, not by Niall but by Louis. I mentally slapped myself for forgetting Louis lived here too, he is not too fond of me.

"Hey Louis, is Niall here?", I asked, looking away. He had this annoyed glare when he looked at me, he always has this exact look.

"Yeah, but he has a girl over", he said, annoyance was clear in his voice. "I was just about to leave, it seems to be getting a bit heated between the two", he chuckled, closing the door as he stepped out.

"Can I come with you?", I asked, he looked at me with a frown. He simply shook his head and started to walk away, towards the elevator. "Please? I can't go back to the apartment and I don't have anywhere else to go", I said, I was desperate to go somewhere, I couldn't go back outside, it was raining.

"Why? I thought you and Harry were finally getting along", he asked, but the tone in his voice was blunt, like he couldn't care less.

"We kind of had a fight, we might have had a yelling match", I mumbled, he was pressing the button fiercly, like he was in a hurry to leave.

"What did you do now?", he asked, letting out a frustrated sigh as the elevator just didn't come up, still pressing the button over and over again.

"I didn't do anything. He was being too concerned about me. It was making me go mad", I explained but he seemed not to really care.

"Really? Too concerned? That is so unlike him", he finally turned his face to look at me, his eyebrows were lifted, eyes slightly wider. After the elevator finally let out a "ding" noise, he stepped inside right after the doors opened, me following him. I look at me, he glared back at him but turned his head away right away. I kept staring at him and then he let out a sigh. "Fine, you can come", he muttered, me smiling and thanking him but he didn't say anything else. He quickly walked up to his car, unlocking the doors and I opened the door, hopping in, buckling up. Louis rolled his eyes as he came in as well, turning the engine on. "Aren't you going to put your seatbel-"
