Love Isn't That Spooky

Chapter 6

Harrys POV:

The sun streamed into the dimly lit room making the edges of things blurry. Where the hell was I? The thick blanket that was wrapped around my torso was definitely not mine. In the midst of thinking my phone suddenly sprung to life with Fall Out Boy's latest single. My heart quickened and my body tensed.

It was just your alarm Harry calm down. Not long after I clicked that I was at Louis house. I started smile, he had been so nice to me last night with all the cheesy quotes and shenanigans. The house was so quiet and still that when I heard a sound of footsteps down the stairs I jumped and inch into the air. Quickly I scrabbled back under my blanket and pretended to be asleep.

The footsteps stopped abruptly then the light flicked on burning through my lids. I peaked out from behind my warm fortress and saw to my relief that it was Zayn. He closed the gap between us and gently leaned over me placing his hand over my shoulder. "Harry, c'mon wake up.....wake up."  I slowly opened my eyes and sat up.  "Hey Zayn."I said, my voice slightly above a whisper.  "We got school man, go grab some breakfast yea." He said from across the room.

Suddenly, Louis appeared from upstairs, "The cereal and bowls are in the bottom left cupboard and I suggest you hop in the shower before Zayn gets in the bathroom otherwise you'll have enough time to grow a beard, shave it and pluck a chicken before the vain bastard gets out." Lou reeled off. Chuckling I ran upstairs and located the bathroom.

It was pretty nice with a dark almost black/brown finishing tile and a pristine white bath in the corner overlooking a huge orchard at the back of their apartment, hand crafted soaps lined the back of the sink and the shower was in the shape of a semi circle with slider glass on the front. The furnishings had to be done by Zayn because he was artistic and Louis couldn't concentrate for more than two minutes on one thing. Nodding to myself in appreciation I stripped and slid under the warm water wetting my hair and rubbing apple scented shampoo into my scalp. I was disappointed that the long weekend off for Halloween was over because it had been really fun but I had hardly seen Niall and Liam like we planned so it would be good to get back on track.

Once we were all ready, showered, watered, fed and dressed we piled into Louis mini and sped off towards school. I gave him directions because my school was on a tangent road and hard to navigate for a first timer. Once pulled into the car park I slung on bag, thanked Lou and Zayn and sauntered my way over Niall and Liam who were waiting for me.

"Styles! Where you been? We were starting to get worried." Niall yelled across the parking lot. I shook my head and laughed, he couldn't be quiet to save his life. As I neared them I began to talk about my weekend off with Louis. "Oooh, Harry got laid, Harry got laid!" Niall chanted excitedly once I had finished. "Jesus Christ Nialler someone's gonna hear and we'll get detention." Liam joked. They bickered all the way to first class who would get laid first between them. I hung back relishing in the after glory of spending a few days with Louis, it was creepy how quickly people could bond in a few short days. I walked down the long hallway and spun the dial on my locker, shoving my junk inside before heading to science with the old bat. Thank god we only had ten more days until school was over for the big holidays.

The bell rang loud and clear and school was finally over. I met the lads outside the gates and we began our long walk home. As we were halfway up the school drive I heard some bubblegum pop music music blaring and suddenly Louis red mini skidded up the side of the curb a few feet from where we were standing. He casually wound down the window "hop in then lads, I'll drive you home." He didn't have to tell us twice, dark clouds were rolling in and our bags weighed a tonne from all the homework the teachers had set us.

I called shotgun and the rest of the lads squeezed into the back with Zayn. Soon we were off with the windows down and the music up. Every time Louis changed gear I felt his hand slightly brush my thigh which sending shivers down my spine. When we got onto the main highway we saw that it was closed and police cars blocked the way. Groaning in frustration Louis googled the incident and it turned out that there was twenty cars involved in a crash so the main highway was closed. "Sorry lads, I guess you better call your parents and crash at Zayn and mines for tonight. The roads due to be closed until 1am." Louis said looking at his phone.  Everyone in the car nodded in agreement and Liam piped up "thanks Lou, we owe you one." Lou giggled. "I'll remember that don't you worry Payne."
