Harry didn't mind that people loved to talk to him. It was quite nice, actually. Waking up every day to tweets from his fans, facebook messages from friends and relatives, and texts on his phone from closer friends like Zayn or Sarah. Louis was on the list of "close friends" too, by the way.

But at times like 3 am, he liked to sleep peacefully without people ruining it for him. Zayn calling him at 1 am because he had nothing else to do happened too often, and he was sick of it. He wanted to punch Zayn every time.

Louis never called him at though. He had univeristy classes to go to so he needed sleep as well, plus he promised him that he would never call him at 3 am in the morning when Harry mentioned how many times his friends had done it.

That was why Harry was shocked when he woke up to his phone vibrating on his stomach, screen lighting up with the name Louis.

At first, Harry was kinda happy, and that was unexpected. He never got happy when his friends called him, but this was his (soon to be boy-)friend, and it made him heart beat a little bit faster every time he saw that name on his phone screen. Who gave a shit about some 3 am rule? Louis was an expection. Louis could call him anytime he wanted.

He answered the call and pressed his phone to his ear. "Lou?" he whispered, his voice huskier and deeper from sleep.

Sniffles could be heard from the other line, along with quiet sobs. Harry definitely wasn't happy now. He felt a painful tug in his heart like always when Louis was sad.

"H-Harry?" Louis mumbled, his voice so soft as he cried. "I'm so s-sorry fo-or callin' you."

"No worries, baby," Harry quickly assured, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. He was scared another attack had happened or something, or maybe Louis was just calling to let his feelings out? "You're not okay... what happened?"

He felt more awake now than he did 2 minutes ago. Frowning, he sat up on the bed with his back against the headboard.

"I w-want to leave..." Louis sobbed, breathing heavily into the phone.

"What?" Harry whispered, his eyes wandering around his messy room in worry. "Louis, what do you mean?"

"Leave university. I want to leave this stupid campus. It's so shit here."

As scary as it sounds, Harry thought he was talking about leaving in another way. Leaving earth, as in ending his life. That's why the moment he sat there waiting for Louis to answer he couldn't help but chew on his bottom lip till it was bleeding. He never wanted to think about again.

"Aren't Niall or Liam helping?" Harry asked again.

"N-No. Niall basically called me a freak," Louis paused, his breath hitching, "and Liam is getting tired of me already. They're both sick of me. I can't stay anymore. I'm scared."

"Lou, that doesn't sound like something Niall would do. Can you tell me everything?"

After that, Louis told him the whole story about what happened with them three. He broke down sobbing sometimes, but Harry was there for him, telling him that it was okay and everything would be over soon in the future. He wasn't sure if Louis believed him though.

"Oh, baby," Harry said sadly, "I'm so sorry. They're so stupid, but aren't we all sometimes? Niall was probably just frustrated, and it sounded like Liam didn't know what to do! I know my cousin, Lou, therefore I know he wouldn't just not care about you and Niall's heated discussion."
