Life Before Death (Harry Styles)

Chapter 2.

I walk down the street to see a small bakery with a help wanted sign in the window. I smile and walk towards it because I need a job to keep me busy while Niall is gone. As I get closer I see a man about my age with curly brown hair and green eyes closing the doors.

"Excuse me." I say walking over to him.

"What?" he asks sharply while locking the door.

"Are you the owner of the bakery?" I ask softly.

"No. I just work here." he says before walking away.

"Hey wait!" I yell after him.

"What can't you see I'm trying to go home?!" he says.

"Are you still hiring?" I ask quieter.

"Do you see the sign?" he says. I just nod. "Then yes we are still hiring." he says turning on his heel and walking away. He is walking where I came from so I just sigh and decide to head back home.

I walk silently behind him with my head down. All I hear is scoffing of his feet and the night animals. Then all I hear is the night animals, I look up to see him staring at me.

"Are you following me?" he asks harshly.

"No, I live just over there promise." I say pointing the to my house.

"Looks like we're neighbors." he says walking again.

"My name is Alexandra by the way." I say catching up next to him.

"Okay." he says walking slightly faster. I decide to give up on being nice so I just go back to silently walking behind him. I turn into my lawn while taking out my keys. Just before I unlock the door I hear.

"Goodnight Alexandra." I turn my head towards his house but he is already inside. I smile and walk inside to the dark house.

I turn the TV off and shake Nialls shoulders.

"Huh? What's the matter?" he says sitting up.

"Nothing Ni. I just want you to go to bed." I say helping him up.

"Yeah go to bed." says Niall half asleep. I lead him to his room and lay him down.

"Goodnight Niall." I say kissing him on the cheek.

"Night." he says rolling on to his stomach. I exit the room and close the door making my way towards my room. I change and brush my teeth before settling in my bed. I look out the window to see the guy I talked to earlier in his room.

I smile and close my eyes where sleep soon takes over my body.

. . .

I awoke to a loud bang. I look over to the clock to see that it is six in the morning. Realization hits me, Niall is going to tour for six months today.

I hop out of bed and half make it. I quickly change into black sweatpants and a grey shirt. I slip matching grey socks.

I then brush my teeth and wild hair before exiting the room. The boys had cleaned up the living room and are now in the kitchen shouting over who gets what to eat.

"Morning!" I shout over the loud screams.

"Morning!" they all scream in unison. Louis gets up and gives me a hug.

"Morning wife." he says kissing my cheek.

"Morning husband." I say kissing him on the cheek.

I sit next to Niall with a bowl full of cereal. Everyone eats in silence. After minutes of silence everyone is done.
