Harry

Once we were done shopping at Target, we headed to Walmart. I parked the car and turned to Sam and said, "I'm just going to run in real quick and get a star for the tree and the skirt. Do you need anything?" Sam shook her head. I got out of the car and walked into the store. I quickly looked for the Christmas decorations and found them. I found a star and a decent looking tree skirt. I grabbed both of them and checked out.

I walked back out to the car and jumped in. I started up the car and drove to the apartments. Sam and I both got out and grabbed as many sacks as we could so we wouldn't have to make a second trip. We struggled getting up to my apartment with all the sacks we were both carrying. Once we were at my door, I dropped the sacks and unlocked my door. I pushed open and let Sam go in first then I went behind her, shutting the door with my foot. 

We walked towards the living room area and dropped the sacks. I sighed and said, "This is so exhausting." Sam laughed and said, "I agree." We took our shoes off and our coats off. "Well I asked Liam if he has another tree and he said he would give it to me, but I don't know when he would be available too. So should we just sort out presents for the boys and if they come we can just put them in a sack and try to hide them?" I asked. Samantha nodded and said, "Yeah that sounds good." Samantha sat down on the floor, getting ready to organize while I stood standing up. "I'm going to call Liam right now. Do you want a drink or anything?" I asked pulling out my phone and dialing Liam's number. "A water would be fine." Sam answered. I went to the kitchen and quickly poured Sam a cold glass of water and handed it to her. "Hey Harry. What's up?" Liam answered. "Hey. I was just wondering if you had that extra tree you said you had that you would give to me." I said. Liam paused then said, "Oh yeah it's in my car right now, but I'll go get it. Thanks for reminding me. I'll see you later. Bye." "Bye." I said. I hung up my phone and put it in my pocket. 

Sam and I sat on the living room floor, talking while we were waiting for Liam to deliver us our tree. Soon I heard a knock on the door and I jumped up to answer it. There Liam was out in the hallway carrying this long box. "This is so heavy." Liam said pulling it threw the doorway. Once it was in, Liam slid it closer to Sam and dropped it. "Thanks Liam." I said shutting the door. Liam put his hands on his waist and sounded out of breath. "Anytime Harry. Is that all?" He asked. I nodded and Liam started leaving. "Wait." I said. Liam turned around and said, "Yes?" I paused then said, "I was wondering if you had anymore extra boxes so I could wrap presents. Do you?" Liam thought then said, "Well if I did they would be in my bedroom. I'll go take a look and see what I have left." I smiled and said, "Thanks Liam. You're the best." Liam started heading out and said, "I know." 

Once Liam left I knelled down next to the long box and opened it up. The tree was already assembled, but we just needed to put decorations on it. I lifted it up and carried it over to the corner, where I wanted it to be. "Does that look ok?" I asked. Sam looked at it and said, "Maybe bring it closer to me just a little bit." I slid it across the floor little by little until Sam said, "Ok that's good." I stepped back and looked at the tree. "Now that looks better. You want to find the garland and give it to me." I said. Sam looked through a couple sacks until she found the silver garland. She opened the box and handed it to me. I pulled it out and started wrapping the tree with it. Once I was all out of garland, Samantha handed me another strand of it. I wrapped it around the tree and once I was finished, I stepped back and looked at the tree decorated with garland. "Do you want lights on it now?" Sam asked. I felt a vibration in my pocket and said, "Just wait a second. Someone is calling me." I pulled out my phone and looked who it was. Liam was calling me. I answered, "Hey Liam. What's up?" There was a paused then on the other line Liam said, "Hey Harry. You need to come to our apartment. Louis has a problem and he's been throwing up. There's blood everywhere." I looked at Sam, who was fiddling with the hem of her shirt, then said, "What do you mean? Should I go there?" Liam huffed and said, "Yeah come now. Louis is throwing up and it's awful. Hurry!" Before I could respond, Liam hung up and I put my phone in  my pocket. I turned back to Sam and said, "Look, one of the boys is throwing up and I gotta go help them. I'll be right back." Sam nodded and I slipped on my shoes and went down to their apartment.
