Something Good Can Work

Twenty five missed calls from my grandmother, twelve missed calls from Louis, and almost twenty texts from him as well.
I was pretty certain I would get in a lot of trouble, but I couldn’t really be bothered to care right now.
Harry’s car pulled to the curb in front of my house, I turned to face him with a worried expression.
“If I don’t call you, it’s because I’ve been killed. Or because my phone has been confiscated.” I shook my head, running my fingers through my hair that was completely down now. It was almost one a.m. and I was certain my grandmother would be furious.
“Well, try to stay alive and…if I don’t hear from you, maybe you can try and get a word out to me via Louis? Just to make sure you’re all right of course.” His lazy voice gave me those pesky butterflies; I’d definitely opened a can of worms tonight. Damn you hormones.
“Of course.” I licked my lips, preparing to get out of the car and felt Harry’s hand abruptly wrapping around my neck and pulling my face towards his, kissing me harshly as if he would never see me again.
It was definitely going to messy after tonight.
I didn’t object his kiss of course, I only melted into it and tried to stay lost as long as possible.
That would have worked if I didn’t hear a knock on the car window, I jumped back and wiped my lips. Louis was standing there with a grim expression.
“I’ll see you sometime.” I say to Harry before opening my door and crawling out. He stayed there momentarily, watching to make sure I was okay before he pulled off.

“Seriously Summer?! You’ve been off with your boyfriend? Gran is going bat shit!” I could hear the disappointment in Louis’ voice which only made me want to run back to Harry’s car and just run away with him completely.
“I haven’t. He picked me up, that was too much Louis. That was horribly inconsiderate of all of them! I don’t want to know those people, my father didn’t want me so why should I want any little bit of him!? How is that fair to me!” My voice was so loud now, I was certain I’d awoken the neighbors. Louis walked closer to me, his voice lowered.
“That’s not how you deal with problems Summer, you don’t just run away. I admit the way they did it was shady as fuck and I hate that you were bum rushed, but you should have called. Gran is distraught, she thought you’d died or something.”
I blinked, feeling my cheeks warm up with anger.
“No, not dead. Wishing I was though.” I rolled my eyes and turned from him, walking quickly to the house and opening the door. The lights were out, no one was awake. I turned to look at Louis who was behind me with an arched brow.
“I told them I went to get you and you were fine.” He offered me a half smile, it was meek and I knew I’d hurt his feelings.
“I’m sorry Lou. I shouldn’t have taken it out on you.” I felt horrible, about this entire situation.
“Harry texted me about an hour ago, I knew you were safe. I just didn’t want Gran to know you were off with a boy. I told her you were with Lucy and I was going to get you.”
“Wow. I’m so sorry.” I pull him in for a giant bear hug, God I was being such a little twit. He wrapped his arms around him and squeezed me tight.
“Please don’t do that again, Gran would be devastated if you left. She hasn’t been this happy in years.”
“I won’t, I promise. I’m sorry.” I can’t stop apologizing, I was not thinking clearly earlier and acted on impulse.
“C’mon, off to bed then.” Louis kept his arm around my shoulder as we walked up the stairs, it had been my mom and me for so long, it was weird having someone else in my family.
Once we’d said goodnight I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and moisturized. I finally got back into my room and pulled on a t-shirt, grabbing my phone which had been sitting on the charger while I got ready for sleep.
It was almost two a.m. now. I clicked on Harry’s name.
“Thanks for letting Louis know, that was sweet of you. You also saved me from a shit ton of punishment, so thank you.” I pressed send and snuggled into my blanket, getting all situated to sleep. It didn’t take Harry any time to text me back.
“Anything for you love. See you tomorrow, I’ve got a surprise for you.”

I sighed happily as I began to type.
“Can’t wait.”

I turned my phone on silent and placed it on my night stand, thinking of what the surprise could be. Thinking of what this meant now? What would I tell Niall? What if this is nothing? Why am I not asleep yet?
What have I gotten myself into.
