Instagram DMs:

To Harry_Styles:
I need to see you again. I'm using Instagram because you blocked my number when I asked you to. I know you did because you would do anything I asked. I understand if you don't want to see me. You've probably moved on but please at least reply. :(

I turned my phone off immediately. I wasn't ready to see his response. He probably wouldn't message back until tomorrow morning, if at all, but I wasn't ready to risk it.

I got woken up in the morning by the slamming of my bedroom door. I look up, ready to tell whichever sister to fuck off. I was surprised to see Liam, seeming very angry.

"What's up Liam? Everything okay with you and Niall?" I ask, concerned.

"Everything is great with me and Niall. But can you learn to answer your phone when it calls? I have called you 12 times already and you didn't pick up. I then call your mum, who tells em you're home alone. I thought you were dead dude! Don't do that!!" He yells at me. I feel awful. I still hadn't turned my phone on since last night.

"Sorry Li. I turned my phone off last night and didn't turn it back on before falling asleep. I'm sorry to worry you like that. I wasn't thinking. I'll turn it on now. I was just avoiding a message from Harry." I explain somewhat.

"He messaged you?" He asks suddenly. "About time. He has been debating whether he should or not since you guys split up. Which Niall is still very upset about by the way." Of course he is. He is more interested in my love life than I am.

I switch on my phone and see the Instagram icon pop up.

Instagram: One new message.

I hadn't used it in weeks. It could only be from one person. I looked nervously at Liam, and he returned with a look of confusion. I realised I hadn't told him what was going on.

"I messaged him last night. Asking to see him. I didn't want to see his response until I was ready, so I turned my phone off. And he messaged back. Should I read it or will it just hurt me Li? Helpppp." I begged him. He just rolled his eyes.

"Open it you idiot. Harry would never hurt you." He replied. He was right. Harry wouldn't hurt me. He always put me first. But his priorities have probably changed. As they should have. I hated him putting me first. I'm not important enough for that. I was going to do it. I was going to open the message.

Before I could, mum burst in.

"Oh thank god you are okay Louis. Liam called me and I rushed home as soon as I could. Nobody told me anything so I was getting worried." She hugged me hard. I glared at Liam. I hated mum worrying about me. I had assumed he had told her something when he woke me.

"Sorry Jay. I forgot. I'm so sorry to worry you." Liam responded.

"It's okay. As long as my Lou is okay. Things seemed pretty intense as I came in. Is everything okay with you guys? Did I interrupt something?" She asked. Maybe it was a sign not to open the message.

"Nothing at all mum. Liam just woke me so I was about to beat him up." I smiled jokingly.

"Okay. Just don't get any blood on the bedding. It's a nightmare to get out." She responded as she walked towards the door. "I've got to get to work as long as everyone is okay here. Bye boys." She waved and left.

"What do you want to do today then? Or do you have to get back to Niall and Dee?" I asked, hoping he forgot the message. No such luck.

"Open the message you got from Harry." He responded.

"I don't know Liam. Maybe it's a sign-"

"Open the message." He interrupted.

"Liam-"

"Open it."

"Listen to m-"

"Open it."

"Liam!"

"Open the message Louis. What are you waiting for?"

"I'll open it later Liam. Okay?" I said definitively.

"Promise?"

"I promise. Now drop it." I said. I wasn't lying. I was going to anyway. I wouldn't be able to stop myself.

It was around 9pm. I finally gave into the urge.

From Harry_Styles:
Of course I want to see you Lou. Just say a time and a place and I'll be there xxx
