Louis P.O.V.
“Bye, Louis. I’ll miss you.” Mom whispered in my ear, hugging me tightly. I smiled and hugged her back, sighing softly.
“I’ll miss you too. I’ll visit again soon, I’m sorry the visit was so short.”
“Bye Harry! I’ll miss you!” I heard Daisy screech, and I looked over, seeing her hugging Harry’s neck tightly.
“We’ve got to go soon, Harry.” I said, walking up to him and the little one.
“I have to go, Daisy. I’ll see you soon, darling.” Harry kissed her cheek before setting her down. That’s all of them.
“Bye, boys!” I heard my mom say one last time before the car door shut. Harry put on his seatbelt, and we were off.
“That was nice, I really like your family, Lou.” Harry said, lacing our fingers. I smiled softly.
“They all seem to like you. Especially Daisy and Phoebe.” I told him. He giggled softly and nodded, smiling.
“I’m glad they all like me so much.” I nodded, a chuckle escaping my lips.
“What is there not to like? You’re such a sweetheart, and you’re a charmer.” I told him. I looked out of the corner of my eye to see him blushing, a wide smile on his face.
“Wake me when we get there, okay?” He said tiredly, closing his eyes. I nodded, bringing his hand up and pressing a kiss to the back of it.
“Of course.”
Harry P.O.V.
“Harry!” I heard, and I turned around, seeing Aislyn running out to me, Niall following her at a walking pace.
“Ais, oh my god!” I squealed, hugging her tightly. She rubbed my back, keeping me close.
“How was it?” Niall asked, and Aislyn pulled away so Niall could hug me.
“It was pretty good, his little sisters all loved me.” I told him.
When he released me, I pressed a kiss to Louis’ lips before taking my suitcase, walking down the hallway of dorms to my dorm, telling Aislyn and Niall different little things about the trip.
“I’m glad he was good to you, Harry. You deserved it.” Ais said after our dorm room closed. I chuckled, beginning to unpack my things.
“He treats me like a princess, I’m sure he won’t be leaving anytime soon. He’s whipped.” I told them, causing Niall to laugh the laugh I’ve missed so much.
“Well, me and Ais are going on a date night, so we’ll leave you to pack.” Niall told me. I said my goodbyes and they were out the door.
After packing, I really had nothing else to do. Louis was spending time with Zayn, and I had no other friends. I sighed, walking into the kitchen, seeing the giant jug of whiskey. I heard my dad’s voice telling me to take one drink, and I bit my lip, reaching out and grabbing the jug, opening it, and taking a swig straight out of it. It burned and sizzled as it went down my throat, but I could feel myself already getting light headed. I smiled and took another swig, and another, and another, until the jug was halfway gone, and I was sloshed.
Aislyn P.O.V.
“This was so well needed, Ni. Thank you.” I told him as he unlocked the door, pressing a kiss to his lips. He chuckled and shook his head, opening the door.
The room was trashed. And when I say trashed, I mean it looked like we got robbed. There was food everywhere, the couch was tipped over, I was starting to think we did get robbed, until I saw Harry with an empty whiskey container, the whiskey that Niall forgot to hide, sitting in front of the fridge.
“I tried to make popcorn, but it exploded!” He slurred loudly.
“Niall I told you to put that away before we left! Now look what happened!” I shouted at Niall before walking over to Harry, sitting down next to him. “Harry, how long did it take you finish this?”
“I don’t know, how long have I been sitting here?” He asked, his eyes red.
“I think we should get Zayn for this.” Niall though out loud, walking out of the room.
“God damn it, Harry…” I sighed, taking the plastic jug and throwing it across the room in anger. “Why did you do this?” I asked, expecting no answer.
I leaned down and helped him up, which is very hard for a short 5’4 girl to do for a giant like Harry. But somehow I did it, and I carried him to the couch after I flipped it to the correct position, laying him down on it. When he was happily laying down, drunkenly babbling, I took that time to clean up as good as I could, picking up small pieces of popcorn. I heard the door open and close, so I turned around, seeing Niall with Zayn and Louis.
“How long have you two been gone?” Zayn asked, walking up to Harry and sitting next to him.
“Around three hours.” I told him, continuing to pick up popcorn.
“Harry, when did you start drinking?” Zayn asked Harry like a child. He’s acting like one, for sure.
“Since Niall left.” He slurred, wrapping his arms around Zayn’s neck.
“He’s been drinking for three hours, then.” Louis concluded. I nodded, sighing.
“Niall, I asked you to put the whiskey away!” I shouted, throwing away what was in my hands.
“I fucked up, I’m sorry.” He said softly, leaning against the fridge, watching this all happen. I frowned and walked over to him, giving him a hug.
“Next time, listen to me.” I told him, and he nodded, kissing my forehead.
“They’re coming for me, Zayn, I don’t have much time.” I heard Harry tell him, clear as day, as if he didn’t drink at all. Which concerned me.
“What do you mean, who are they?” Zayn asked him quietly, and we all watched as Harry leaned up and whispered something in Zayn’s ear, causing Zayn to go ghost white.
Zayn P.O.V.
“My dad and his friends, they escaped.”
After he said that, I went into a state of panic. His dad was ruled seventy five years in jail, and his friends twenty five. Everyone around me was asking what was going on, especially Louis, who was the most scared, and the one who looked like he was going to pass out or cry, or both. Harry just peacefully fell asleep after that, snoring softly. I was more confused than ever.
“Zayn, what the fuck did he tell you?!” Louis shouted, finally getting my attention.
“His dad is coming back.”
I’m sure Niall and Aislyn knew what I was talking about, since they gasped, but Louis looked more confused than ever.
“What’s the big deal about that?” Louis asked. I looked over at Niall to see if he could tell Louis, but he was consoling Aislyn, who was hysteric.
“Louis, Harry’s dad abused him when Harry was a boy. It was so bad his dad got seventy five years in prison. I’m not going to say anything more, that’s for Harry to tell you.” I explained to him. Louis nodded.
“Can I sit there?” He said, and I nodded, getting up so Louis could sit where I was. I walked over to Niall and Aislyn, sighing.
“There’s nothing I can do about this, I don’t even know if his dad really is coming back, it could’ve been the alcohol combining with his schizophrenia to make him think that.” I told them. Niall nodded, rubbing Aislyn’s back softly.
“Here that, baby? His dad might not even be coming. He’s safe.” Niall whispered to Aislyn. I walked away, and over to Louis, leaning down.
“You can stay here with Harry, I’m gonna get back to the dorm.” I told him, and he nodded softly, not saying anything else to me. I walked out of their dorm, not going to mine just yet. I had one thing to do before I went back.
