Part 18

"And then Louis was like 'What part of fuck off do you not understand?'" Niall paused to laugh as he recounted the story from the other day.

Louis didn't know why, but Niall decided to bring up the events between him and Harry from the past few days and tell all their friends. He was making it seem like Harry was simply horrible, and Louis didn't appreciate that.

Although what Harry did was wrong, after that incident, he had been only nice and helpful.

They were far from being okay, but they were on the road there.

"It was so funny. Harry didn't know what to do. Someone had finally shut him up." Niall laughed again as the rest of the group joined in.

Except Louis. He didn't really find it funny, so he took a long gulp of his drink instead.

"Good one, Louis!" One of Niall's friends said as he nudged him and held his hand out for a high five.

Louis feebly obliged as he felt the alcohol go straight to his head and made him dizzy.

"Woah, mate." Niall laughed, holding a hand out to stop him from falling over.

"I'mgongofndhairy."  Louis mumbled. "Harry. Find Harry, is what I'm gonna do." He repeated before skulling the rest of his drink and stumbling around to go and find the curly haired boy.

"Hey, hey." Niall called out as he moved away. "Be careful."

Louis rolled his eyes and continued to move through the crowded garden.

He knew Niall was just trying to look out for him, but he didn't like the way he was talking about Harry, so he left.

His vision was a little blurry and he didn't know where he was going, but he knew he wanted to find Harry.

Louis didn't quite know what to do when he found Harry, but he wanted to be near him, so off he went in search of him.

He frowned as he walked around the deck area and then down onto the grass area, looking at the various groups of people as he went.

"Hey Lou!"

"Hi Louis!"

Various people called out his name and waved but he didn't reply. He walked past the pool and past the shed trying to find him.

Eventually, he decided to go inside to find him, his nerves growing every minute they were apart.

He didn't know why, but Louis really wanted to see Harry now. He wanted to know whether or not he was going to be the way he said he was going to be.

Louis wanted to know if the new Harry was here to stay.

He went inside, into the dark crowded lounge where cramped bodies danced. He looked around for a little while, through the pulsing lights and upon deciding he couldn't find Harry, Louis moved into the kitchen, filling up his cup with some water to sober-up, before leaning against the counter.

He sighed in relief as the cool liquid hit his lips. The kitchen was much quieter and lighter than the other room, he liked it, so he jumped up onto the counter to drink the rest of the water.

"Louis, hi."

Louis looked up to see Danielle, Liam's girlfriend, walking towards him with a huge smile.

"Uh, hi Dani." Louis replied.

"How are you?" She asked cheerfully.

"Good, I guess." Louis chuckled as he reflected on his past week.
