50 - Circles

When I go to work after three days... I wouldn't describe it as being too timid or scared or anxious, just... Extra cautious.

That police officer really scared the crap out of me and I just felt like every person who walked in the shop was a psychopath undercover detective ready to out me in front of the whole store and take Niall into jail (and away from me).

So it totally sucks I'm cashier for today, where everybody gets to see my face and read my nametag. (And maybe I'm paranoid to the extent that I purposely brushed my hair in my face. But whatever. Don't judge me.)

"Would you relax?" Louis says, "Did you not take your meds for so long that you're about to explode out of fear or what?"

"I just drank too much coffee." I lie, rocking back from the balls of my feet to the tip of my toes and vice versa.

"Did that creepy guy threaten you or something? The one from MAC who tried to drive you home?"

"No," I sigh, even though I rather to be threatened then to have Niall taken away.

"You sure? I'll get you a restraining order if you want."

"I'm just high off coffee." I say again, "I told you already."

Louis stares at me for a dozen seconds before shouting: "Boss!"

"No Louis, what the hell--" I start trying to bolt to him but then my manager comes running out.

"Harry feels endangered." Louis says and both me and my manager narrow my eyes in confusion.

"What do you mean endangered?" My manager says.

"There's a guy stalking him." Louis whispers and my boss nods considerately, while I groan.

"Harry, you can go home. I'll call somebody to work your shift. Do you want Louis to walk you to your car to avoid getting...approached by this stalker?"

"No--" I start again.

"I will. Just to be safe." Louis says, grinning at me as he grabs my arm and leads me out of the store.

"Are you okay?" I ask him sharply.

"I'm fine, just worried about you."

"Why? I'm fine."

"Just fine?" He asks.

"Just fine." I reply.

"That's the issue with you Harry, you're just fine. Why aren't you happy or bouncing off the walls? Why are you fine?" Louis asks, as we exit the mall and walk into the parking lot.

"I...don't...-- I don't know!" I exclaim.

"Go home to your boyfriend." Louis says softly.

I gasp, "How do you know I have a boyfriend?"

"Honestly I didn't, until just now when you confirmed it." Louis giggles, finally letting go of my arm, "Lauren says he's tall, muscular and...lilac. But she won't give me a name."
