Meet Me in the Hallway // L.S.

Chapter 23

Louis Tomlinson

I lay almost naked beneath the comforter watching it all happening in front of my eye. I realised I'm about to face the consequences, the same consequences my brother Aaron faced 5 years ago. I didn't know what he was doing because my parents blocked his number from my phone. My dad storm inside the room and grabbed my arm and forcefully pulled me out of my comforter. I tried grabbing my clothes and made it until I was dragged from the room and my dad pushed me through the door, my mom from the behind throwing my phone and clothes on the ground.

"You have no room in this house now!" dad said angrily. None of the neighbours came out to see what's happening but I probably think they are watching from behind the curtains. He slammed the door and I sat on the cold ground, staring at the door. I stood up to wear a sweater and trousers lying on the ground. I picked up my clothes and slide my phone in the pocket, which was almost cracked from the forceful throw.

I called Niall to ask if I could stay in his house. He answered YES and  I walked towards his house. The thing was that why did my mom gave me my phone? That's confusing.

I reached Niall's house and knock on the door. His mom opens the door and warmly greets me. She then called Niall and allowed me to enter the house. Niall cruised me towards his room and locked the door so that his mom does not interrupt. We sat on the bed comfortably with our legs crossed. I put my clothes down in a pile on the floor.

He asks me, "What's wrong? Did you got banished just like your brother?" "How do you know?" I asked confused.

"That night I came to know that you and Harry were in a relationship because when you left, me and the boys run up to him and asked "What's wrong?" He said, "I fucked up!" And also you brought your clothes here." he said.

I did realised that everybody was watching us but I only focused on Harry. I decided not to call or text him for a while. That'll be better. But there was a problem and that was I couldn't stay in his house forever. I need to find a place to work, to earn money and buy an apartment.

Later that day when I ate dinner with them, his mom asked, "So, why did you came here? And also with clothes..." "My parents are out of town and they said they were about to inform you but I guess they forgot." I lied, trying to hide my tears. She nodded and we continued eating our food.

Me and Niall went back to the room and said, "I've a guest room. You can use that." "Thanks Niall for helping me." I said with a half smile.

I went into the guest room and saw a queen bed with a bedside table. It also had a bathroom and a wardrobe. I kept the dry clothes in the wardrobe and removed the clothes that were wet by the snow.

I went downstairs and saw his mom in the living room. I asked her, "Excuse me, where is the washing machine? My clothes are a bit soaked and also dirty." "Right there" she pointed towards a door. I nod my head and walk towards the door.

I opened and saw the washing machine. I put the clothes one by one in the machine and put some detergent in the box. I turned it on and waited for 30 minutes. By the time, I did took a decision not to call Harry but yet I did. It showed that the number is unavailable. Must be his mom who did it. I tried calling his sister but it was the same. I guess his mom also went hard on him. I was worried.

The machine chime then distracted me and then I removed the clothes and put it in the dryer for another 30 minutes. I was planning to use Niall's phone to call him. I left the dryer on and went up to Niall to ask for his phone to give a call to Harry.

I put it on speaker so that we could hear his voice but it said unavailable. I frowned and gave back his phone and went to the room where my clothes were now dried. I took them up to my room and neatly folded them and put it in my wardrobe. I jumped on my bed and again started planning on how I was gonna live on my own. I mean, I lied my parents are out of town but how long could they even stay there, right?
