Louis POV

"Here's the last box Louis, where do I put it?"

"Just hand it to me mate"

My best mate Niall, hands me the last box I need to unpack before feeling complete after moving in. I rented myself a small flat near London and quit my old job to start fresh.
Since Harry left me, it's been nothing but stressful and overwhelming. Since I was an idiot who was deeply in love, the house was put under Harry's name which means he can take it away from me. He already did anyways.

The only good thing that came out of this is that I live closer to Niall as his flat is only one floor below mine. His roommate Liam, happens to be a good friend of mine so I get to spend more time with them now. But not regularly as they also happen to be friends with Harry as well.

"Hey, we're thinking about having a small get together at our flat tomorrow. Do you want to come?"

"If he is going to be there, then I rather pass"

"Come on Lou, you don't have to talk to Harry. Just avoid him"

"Sure Niall, I'll avoid the fact that my ex-fiancé has been sleeping with another man behind my back and will be sucking faces with that asshole in front of me at your flat. It'll sure be easy to avoid" I smiled sarcastically, placing my books on the bookshelf.

"Plus I can't go. I need to look for a new job before my bank account runs out of money. I need to pay bills, you know"

"Well if you say so. Just know you'll always be invited"

"Thanks but I'll be fine"

My phone vibrates and shows a notification on instagram of what Harry posted. I still follow him?

I groaned at the post and tossed my phone onto my couch. Now he's definitely trying to rub his lover in my face.

"Oh...um have you see Harry's-"

"Yes I did and it means nothing to me"

I could care less what he's doing with Zayn. If he wants to chose cigarettes over stripes then well be it. I don't want anything to do with him anymore, I just want to move on even if I'm still in love with him.

"Well I gotta go Lou. I have work in the morning, I see you later"

"Yeah, bye Nialler"

After putting on his coat, he opens the front door and leaves. I sighed of relief knowing that I'm finally alone. I have no interest in talking or interacting with anyone, even if that someone happens to be my best mate.
If you want to be happy, go be happy somewhere else because there's no reason to share your joy with me.
