LOUIS' P.O.V

Harry sat on the sofa by himself, me and Liam on the one opposite him. The TV was muttering quietly in the background but apart from that, there was silence. I'd keep on catching eye contact with Liam and we'd both share the same look of awkwardness and not being sure of what to do. Harry pushed his pizza around the plate and I knew that it must have been cold. I looked down to my feet trying to think of something to say.

"So-" I began.

"I'm going out." Harry cut me off and stood up.

"What?" I asked, in disbelief of what he had just said.

"I'm going out." He replied monotonlously and took his plate into the kitchen.

"Where?" I asked very confused about the situation. "I mean you can't, you can't just," I stood up and followed him into the kitchen but he was coming back out.

"I'm going out and you can't stop me." He glared at me as we stood directly in front of each other in the doorway. Liam also joined us and he stood slightly to the side of my right shoulder.

"Harry I don't thi-" Liam began.

"I don't care what you think." He said bluntly and barged past us both, making his way upstairs.

"Harry you can't go out, not when my mum isn't here. Harry you need to stay here," I followed him up the stairs and into our room. He lifted a duffle bag up from our bed up to his shoulder which seemed to be packed with his things.

"Harry you can't leave." I said exasperated but started to worry as I didn't know that he was actually being serious. He pushed passed me and started walking down the stairs again. "Harry you can't go!" I said sternly. "Harry listen to me!" I shouted as I followed him down the stairs.

"Leave me alone." He muttered quietly.

"No Harry you can't leave, mum'll be so mad at me-"

"Leave me alone." He repeated.

"Harry are you even listening to me? You can't do this, you can't just say you're leaving and then-"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" He screamed at me and yanked the front door open.

"YOU HAVE NO-ONE TO GO TO!!" I screamed just as loud.

"WHO'S HERE TO PICK ME UP THEN?!" He screamed one last time and slammed the door so hard that the light shook slightly. There was a ringing silence for a moment.

"It's Ed." I heard Liam say from the living room. I turned around from the door and speed-walked into the living room to see what he was on about.

"Ed Sheeran, the one who sings sometimes in assembly." And clearly enough, there Harry was- putting his bag into the boot of a car and sitting in the front seat was Ed Sheeran looking quite smug. I didn't know what to do.

"It could've been worse mate." Liam mused as he pushed away from the window sill and over to the sofa where Harry had been sitting. "He could have ran away without you knowing. You know, when he was in the bathroom he could've escaped through a window, that would've been much worse."

"I guess." I muttered as I slumped down onto the other sofa feeling slightly betrayed by Harry's preferal to Ed than me.

"I'll still stay mate," Liam reassured me and I looked up to him. "-wanna play some COD?" He smiled.

"Yeah," I shrugged. "-why not?" I rolled over to the Xbox on the TV stand next to me and pressed the power button. It should be something to stray my mind away from Harry.

HARRY'S P.O.V

"Hey." I smiled as I climbed into Ed's car and shut the door.

"Hey, is everything ok?" He turned to me as I pulled my seatbelt across my body.
