11 pm

Harry still can't sleep. He gets up straddling himself out of the bed sheets and reaches for his phone kept on the side table.

He opens his call log and looks for Louis' number.

He wants to call him. Wants to get the answers.

He's fighting his fingers but out of nowhere his thumb clicks Louis' name.

Shit shit shit shit.

'Please don't pick up please don't pick up please don't pick up', Harry whispers to himself.

"Hi", a similar voice coming from the other side.

Great. Now you pick up.

"H-hey", he says.

Ask him about the story. Ask him why they didn't kiss. Ask him now. His subconsciousness tells him.

"What's up?", Louis asks.

"Nothing", he tries to end the call but he doesn't want to so he continues to lie "I saw your YouTube videos"

"Oh yeah?", Louis takes a pause before speaking again "at 11 pm?"

"No at 9 actually but i have a question"

Ask him

"I want to sing for you", Harry says instead

"Huh?", Louis confused at the response.

"You play great piano so I thought maybe we should collab or something?....Maybe?", Harry gives it a shot.

"Harry are you a singer?", Louis asks from the other side.

"N- I mean- yes but not officially", Harry says

"Then how will we collab?", Louis asks.

"Ummm, I'll sit in front of the camera with you and you'll play the pia-"

"Not that! Harry" Louis interrupts "If you don't have a youtube channel then it's not a collab it's just a guest on my channel"

"Yeah? So let it be", Harry gives in "I'll be a guest on your channel then"

"Woah hold on there",  Louis takes a pause "This is the first time someone asked me for a collab..hmmm....let's do it then, I'm in!", he sounds excited.

"So can we meet tomorrow?", Harry asks

"Yeah meet me at the Tommos' at 10 am", Louis tells him and hangs up the phone.

"Goo-" Harry gets cut off.

Oh. No good night or goodbye. Okay.

Finally Harry let's out a deep breath he was holding in the whole conversation when he gets anxious again.

Harry told Louis that he can sing but can he?

Harry tries to sing to himself sitting on his bed. At times recording himself on his phone.

The clock strikes 12 am and Harry decides to stop.

Harry wakes up at  8 am and gets in the shower. A lot of thoughts running through his mind about singing in front of Louis but he sushes them. It's not like Harry's gonna stay here forever so if he embarrasses himself in front of Louis he'll probably forget it after a few months.
