Just Another Stunt

27- Meeting

Harry awoke to his phone ringing. He patted himself down before finding his phone on the coffee table in front of him.

"Hello," Harry said answering his phone on the final ring.

"Mr Styles, hello. This is Katy from Modest," a overly happy woman introduced herself.

"Yeah, hi Katy," Harry replied, clearing his throat.

"Hi. I was told to call you and Mr Tomlinson and inform you of your meeting you have today. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, but you really must attend the meeting," she explained in the nicest tone she could convey.

"Yeah, its fine. What time?" Harry asked checking the time. 2:43.

"You should be here before or at 5," She answered.

"Okay, I'll be there. Thanks Katy," Harry said politely.

"Of course Mr Styles," Katy said, before hanging up.

Harry let out a sigh before standing from the couch to go look for the leprechaun.

"Nialler?" Harry called out walking down the hall to his room. There was no answer.

"Niall?" Harry asked knocking on his bathroom door. No answer.

"Should have checked for his car," Harry whispered to himself.

Pulling back his curtain he saw Niall's car no longer parked in his driveway. He checked his phone for any kind of message from Niall.

Nialler❤️: Hey Haz had to run over to Louis' I'll probably be back over at 7 or something Love ya mate!

To Nialler❤️: You're fine, just didn't know where you went off to. Love you too mate - H

Harry hesitated for a second before opening his messages with someone else.

To LouLou🌎💙: Did management call you? - H

Harry only had to wait a couple very long minutes before he got a response.

LouLou🌎💙: yep be there at 5

To LouLou🌎💙: Are you okay? - H

LouLou🌎💙: peachy, thanks

Harry didn't know how to respond to that, so he didn't. He wanted to grab Louis and yell he knew he wasn't okay or "peachy" but he couldn't. For more than one reason.

3:04.

Harry had a lot to do in two hours and as much as he wanted to sit and worry about Louis, he couldn't and he wouldn't. He was going to get ready and maybe worry about Louis just a little.

"Niall, I am fine okay," Louis said for what felt like the 600th time.

"You are not fine. Sorry, but you aren't," Niall said, sitting beside Louis on the bed.

Louis always said what was on his mind. He normally didn't care if it hurt someone's feelings, but this was different. If he said what was on his mind to Niall, he'd hurt Niall and probably himself. But he had no filter.

"What'd you mean when you were talking to Harry?" Louis asked the burning question.

"When?" Niall asked, playing with the blanket on Louis' bed, not meeting his eyes.

"Earlier, in his room. When you said you are just looking out for him," Louis pulled the blanket away from Niall to get his full attention.

"Louis," Niall said looking at Louis who was getting slightly upset.
