Hacked

Chapter 4

149 DAYS BEFORE THE DEATH OF HARRY STYLES

The sun shined through my window blinds and into my eyes. Everything felt horrible. I try to move but it feels worse.

I suddenly rush over to my bathroom and puke out all my regrets from last night. I wipe my mouth slightly feeling better.

I don't remember much for last night and I don't even remember how I got home I just know I got drunk and passed out. I've still got a horrible headache but my stomach has settled a bit. I go into the kitchen and pour myself a cup of water and swallow two panadols.

It's already twelve o'clock. I never sleep in this late because it wastes the day. I try to sleep as little as possible to cram in more awake time. My body doesn't need much sleep, I can live on about 4-8 hours a night.

I turn on the tele to watch the news.

"In top news today, young hacker Zayn Malik was caught by the government and locked up. Police say he was dangerous and almost killed thousands of people." There are two types of hackers, smart ones and stupid ones. I'm a smart one.

"This is why you shouldn't do this stuff Harry." Liam says behind me. I turn around and he's smiling while pouring a cup of tea.

I get up and make myself a cup also.

"Last night was wild." I say and he nods.

"Me and a couple other workers had to lift you out of there so we could get a taxi and go home."

"Lets never do that again, please." I ignore what he said. I don't want to do that again, especially if this is the outcome. Liam laughs at my plea.

"Harry, I need to tell you something that I've been keeping a secret for a while now." Oh no. He's a government official. I knew it was dangerous telling anyone about my online work. I start to panic. I can't go to jail or be killed. I'm not ready for that.

"I've been seeing this girl, her names Sophie, she's really nice I promise." Liam mumbles on. I suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Why would I even think that of Liam? I've known him for long enough to know he wouldn't be hiding something like that. I've known him since the start of high school.

"That's good." I say and walk back to the couch.

"Just good? Harry, I'm sure she'll like you. She's a very nice person and she has a job. She's only 20 so not much older than me." He goes on. Suddenly he changes his speech,"She won't get in the way of our friendship, I promise."

I smile back at him, hearing the things I've been hoping to hear. Liam's my only friend and even though I don't really tell him, I wouldn't give him up for the world. He's got my back and I've got his.

"We've still got that last episode of Zombies verse Wolves to watch." He smiles and comes to sit next to me on the couch.
