Binding Rules

Hello? (29th Chapter)

… The Next Day…



.............................
Harmony's POV:
.............................





I was so released that poor fog wasn’t ill or weak. I even found his water platter drained completely; he must have drunk by himself. The only thing that differentiates us from animals, we humans, is two long legs and a larger IQ; other than that we both have the same instinct. We are mammals after all. I cleared my conscience with my dog, by feeding him and taking him for a light walk this morning.




As we both walked through the compound’s garden, my mind began to travel to what Harry told me yesterday. He was quite honest, and for the first time I could see through him; he was clear with everything. But what makes me unhappy is what he told me about his sister. How could she just leave? Life isn’t that easy to walk out; poor Harry.




... In the Afternoon…




I received a call from Louis, through which he told me to come over. I didn’t hesitate for a second to go there, somehow I feel like I now relate to all of them. I feel like I could enter and joke around, or say whatever is on my mind; without following my appropriate protocol.




The wall of formality is broken down between us, and we could act spontaneously without any worry from getting anyone annoyed. I ring the bell, waiting outside with a smile on my face. I finally know what if feels like to have someone in your life. Not as a lover, but as in people who care for who you are, and what you think. “Hello?” A beautiful female opens the door, giving me a questioning smile. “(I clear my throat nervously) Is Harry or Louis or N-…” She cuts me off, tangling her arms around me in a surprise embrace.




“(She speaks cheerfully) You must be Harmony. I’m Elle.” Elle… where have I heard that name before? “(I hug her back lightly, feeling awkward from the action) How do you know me?” She rolls her eyes in a funny matter, grabbing my arm to the inside.“All of them keep talking about you. You’re quiet the infection.”




She sends me a wink, making me laugh in an embarrassed matter. “(I remember, and for that I state) You’re Louis’s girlfriend, right?” She nods in pride, showing how she cherishes the bond between her and Louis. “Come with me. Louis has a surprise for you.” She controls my walk, guiding my arm after her to the kitchen area.




“It’s about time you know.” Louis scoffs in a joking matter, while he hugs me with care. I give my hellos to Niall and Zayn, sharing a quick hug with them as well. “So, you’ve met the owner of the PJs, I see?” Louis clicks his chin, hiding his smile. “Shut up, Lou. She has better curves than I do.” Elle swats his arm, making me blush while the rest laugh.




“Anyway, lets stick to business. (I nod, sliding on a kitchen chair) I found you a job.” I blink my eyes in frustration, clearly not expecting him to deliver this fast. “Where?” I ask, as he sits beside Elle. “It’s in a Library, its practically two blocks away from here. They payment is really reasonable, and you could start tomorrow. But then again, I need to escort you there. So, what do you say?” 




I don’t say, I practically leap into Louis arms; making him stumble a little to the back from shock. “(I whisper in his ear for him to be the only one listening) You saved me from the streets.” He replies in the same tone: “It was Harry who helped me find that job offer; I think you should go upstairs and thank him.” I depart the hug, giving Louis a quick smile before I rush upstairs. Harry was into this? He no longer hurts, he cures.
