Brave.

A little garden.

Louis POV... 

House hunting is hard when you've only got two weeks to look, "Lou, you're going to be homeless," Hannah laughs as she scrolls through houses on my laptop and I make drinks. "I know, I can't wait to live on the streets," I roll my eyes and take a seat next to her on the sofa. She shows me a few options before stopping and showing me one, "How about this, it's a house, not an apartment, 3 bed. It's not too expensive, It's near a few studios, there's a park near-by for little walks if you like that. And, I see you have a balcony as well, this one does too and it looks over the park," She turns the laptop showing me. "Look, Lou, you can move in straight away too!" She gets excited pushing the laptop onto me. "No way, Lee you angel," I look through the information and she's right. It's even got a little garden. I love it. I email the guy who's selling it. "Now we wait. Come on this is great news, Lou. Have you started packing anything yet?" She questions and my mind wanders to Harry packing his things while I sat in bed watching him. I shake my head, as I get a message back from the guy. He's letting me see the house tomorrow. 

"Lee, you are a pure piece of gold!" I pull her up and we start dancing and singing around the living room to the music that was playing. "Wait, we're at the studio tomorrow?" Lee reminds me. "We can leave quickly for an hour or so-" I was cut off by the door opening, "Oh you're home today-" Harry comes through and stops in the hallway. Lee and I look at each awkwardly as we stand out of breath in the middle of the room. "Harry, what are you doing here? Why do you keep coming back?" All the emotions I've felt for the past week are coming back. 

"It's my apartment too, Louis-" I stop him right there, "No, Harry. You left. You told me I had until the end of the month so I'd like it if you'd stop coming by or you knocked." He's shocked by what I say. "What, so I don't interrupt you and your rebound girlfriend," I hear Lee gasp beside me. "Harry, that's enough. Lee is my friend and she's helping me find a new place, which we did. Go. I want you to leave." He doesn't move. "Harry, please go," I sigh as I become mentally defeated by his actions, he stays in the same place as before, "I came to apologise after what happened yesterday," He speaks slowly, why now? I just want him to go so I can stop hurting and move on. "I don't want you to apologise. I don't want you to keep coming back. We aren't together anymore, you left. Don't keep coming back. It's not fair." Harry leaves, and Lee leads me to the sofa to sit down. "I can see why you're frustrated, Louis, It'll be ok when you move out." She tells me as she pulls me into her, whispering sweet nothings and singing 'Just hold on'.  

"Hi guys, sorry I'm late." I walk into the studio smiling to see everyone sitting around talking. "Someone is as bright as the sun today," Michael points out. "Yes, today is a good day, we're moving on. I have important things to do later and I need to head out for an hour ish," I see Lee smiling in the corner, as everyone nods along. We figure out how to add the drums into the song smoothly before I slap my hands on my knees, "Right, I'm going to head off, Lee, are you coming?" Everyone's head flips up. "Who's Lee?" Steve questions, "me," Hannah laughs, "Of course, I did show you it." She grabs her bag and we head to my car, leaving everyone confused. 

"Hi, Hannah and Louis-" The man stops when he sees it's me, "Oh Louis Tomlinson?" I laugh, "Yes, hi." He shakes my hand and then shakes Lee's hand. He takes us around the house and tells us about it. "Can I move in straight away?" I question knowing I like the house and the garden. "Of course. Are you certain about buying?" I nod, "Yes, I love it here. It's very- homey," we all laugh. "Lee, what do you think?" I turn towards her and she smiles, "It's nice, very homey," She knocks into me as she mocks me. There are 3 bedrooms upstairs, all big. The biggest room has an ensuite. Downstairs there is a living room, dining room, and kitchen.  The garden is quite big too and has a little patio. 

I sign the house off with the man and discuss the important details before heading back to the studio. Turns out the man has 2 daughters who love my music, I took a picture with him and told him to not tell his daughters what I was doing there, to save my address being leaked. He agreed. 

"Ah, we thought you two lovers had run off," Steve mocked. "I just bought my first house," I'm genuinely happy, even though I wanted to buy my first house with Harry. "congrats!" "Good job, Louis." Everyone was so happy for me, except Steve, "You're a millionaire Louis, I expected you to have several houses in different countries," He laughs. "I don't need several houses, I only need one. Just because I'm a millionaire doesn't mean I can't enjoy things for the first time. Humble yourself, Steve." I hear some of the team laugh behind me. "Anyway, Louis we've extended the chorus to fit the drums, so you'll need to get familiar with that," I nod as Michael hands me my ratchet notebook. 

I've done a pretty good job.
