Louis hadn't talked to Harry in a week, they hadn't even exchanged texts, and it was killing him inside.

Despite it, he hadn't attempted to call or text Harry, because he still thought it was up to Harry to come to him.

But he hadn't done it, and he was worried.

Was their marriage over?

Just like that?

Had Harry lost interest in him?

Did he not love him anymore?

"What are you doing this weekend?" Duncan asked as they ate lunch together.

"Huh?" Louis said distractedly.

He had been thinking about Harry.

He was always thinking about him.

"Do you have plans for the weekend?" Duncan repeated the question.

"Uhm... not really" Louis answered "I'm just going to study a bit, spend time with Tori, and feel sorry for myself because my husband isn't talking to me".

"Just call him, Louis" Duncan advised what he had been telling him all week "Be the bigger person".

"I won't" Louis said stubbornly "He needs to come to me and apologize, not the other way around".

"But he might be waiting for you to reach out" Duncan considered.

"It's not fair that I have to be the to reach out, so I won't do it" Louis said determinately.

"I really hope he does" Duncan told him "I don't want to see you drown in self pity for another week".

"Yeah..." Louis agreed.

"So can I have another sandwich?" Duncan asked

"Here" Louis said, and gave the last sandwich he had in his backpack.

"These sandwiches are awesome, but I wish your mum put mustard in them" Duncan considered as he took the sandwich from the ziploc bag.

"She doesn't because I don't like mustard" Louis pointed out.

"You should tell her that I do, so she puts some on mine" Duncan smiled, and took a bite from the sandwich.

"Sure, I'll tell her" Louis chuckled.

Louis' mum had been packing him lunch every day since Louis started complaining that food in London was too expensive and he was spending all his pocket money on eating. And at some point, a few weeks ago, she started packing extra sandwiches, when Louis told her he had been sharing his lunch with his friend Duncan.

Louis thought it was funny, though, that they were in Uni and depending on Louis' mum to have lunch, but he was grateful, and so was Duncan for that matter.

"Finish that fast, we have to go to class" Louis said checking the time on his phone.

"Yeah" Duncan said with his mouth full.

They only had one more class for the day, which was a relief, and it was also a class that Louis really liked, so it went by quickly, and before he knew it, it was over.

"Finally" Duncan sighed when the professor dismissed the class.

"You're so dramatic" Louis laughed as he closed his laptop and grabbed his backpack to put it away.

"I'm not" Duncan denied, and for up from his seat, and stretched his arms "Hey, if you're not going to do anything this weekend, maybe you could come to London, I'm going out with friends from my dorm tomorrow, you could join us".
