《The Ballet Shoes》"Possibly Overthinking It?"
Advertisement
To Harry he thought this moving into an apartment was an escape and a good one at that. To Liam he only thought it was an escape from Louis not a step closer to anything.
"Harry don't you think your doing this over nothing?" Liam spoke up from the passenger seat.
"I invited you to apartment shop with me not persuade me to stay." I say.
"Harry please stay at the dorm it be much more better with you there, I don't want any other person in there as my roommate. You are my best mate." Liam tries to persuade.
"Liam, I'll tell you the truth," I say parking in front of an apartment building "I am moving cause of Louis, I'm sick of him pushing me around when I've done nothing to him!"
I get out walking to the building.
"You've got to stand up to him!" Liam says from my car walking to me "instead of running like a scared little girl!"
"Excuse me?" I snap.
"Harry you can't run from things like this. You've got to show him he has no power over you." he puts a hand on my shoulder.
I look between the building and him.
"Okay." I say walking back to my car.
Liam was greatful that Harry changed his mind and he was indeed overthinking it. It was true though Liam wouldn't want anyone else as his roommate.
"Let's make a day out of this outing, it's Friday I'd like to have some fun before I go get layed and drunk." he says as we get back in the car.
I roll my eyes at his words and cringe. I hate that my best friend is into the same things as my bully.
"Exactly what do you have in mind?" I question.
Liam rubbed his chin.
"Um catch a film at the cinema?" he suggests with a shrug.
"Don't like cinemas they are filthy to me." I say.
"Oi well I've got nothing then." Liam said looking out the window.
"Um how about we go get some lunch and rent a movie of your choice instead?" I suggest.
Liam shook his head.
"It sounds weird uh-" he paused "never mind that making a day."
"Oh?" Harry was gutted at the fact Liam wanted to drop it all.
Liam put his phone back in his pocket.
"I'm sorry some other time?" Liam says with a shrug.
It takes a bit of everything for me not to pull over and make him walk the rest of the way because I know exactly why he suddenly wants to drop everything. Obviously it's one of his friends and I'm pretty sure it's Louis. To sooth the tension I turn on the radio and I have Snow Patrol CD in which starts playing Chasing Cars perfect.

Liam knew Harry was upset judging this because he had his hands in tight fist around the steering wheel and his music was blasted. Liam left him alone hanging his head down knowing he most likely hurt his feelings. Which he did, Harry didn't dare say the truth. When they pulled into the parking lot, walking back to the dorm Harry didn't say anything not when Liam said something to him. He did however talk to some passing friends whom said hello to him.
"Harry please talk to me!" Liam begs.
"Okay." Harry mumbled.
"I know you're pissed at me." Liam says as they started up the steps to the dorms on the third floor.
"Damn right I am and I swear if they are waiting at the door for you, I am done!" Harry said sternly.
Liam swallowed nervously because they were at the door which they hadn't reached yet.
"Harry you best wait here then uh.... they are at the door waiting cause I told them to." Liam looks down.
"Bloody hell!" Harry said flinging his arms up before walking quickly back down the steps.
Liam didn't move from his spot.
"Where you going?" Liam said feeling bad.
Harry gave him the finger not talking to him and disappeared out of sight.
Liam was worried about what Harry was going to do and where but he pushed him to the back of his mind.
Harry wanted to go to the studio and dance hard to blow of steam but his bag was in the dorm. So instead he went to his spot.
I thought our friendship was important to Liam more so then his need to get drunk, party, and get fucked by some random slut. I'm red I know it may be a bit childish the way I'm acting but honestly, I think I have every right to be this way. He ditched me for Louis. Not that it wasn't the first time it's happened because it's happened so many times before, I've become fed up. I just wish more than ever my mum would talk to me, my sister, my step dad, my dad. I feel a stray tear fall down my cheek as I think about it. The view is perfect today the evening sun lowers inch by inch behind the green mountains. I snap a picture of it with my phone and instagram it. Captioning it the only place I can go to be alone beautiful.
A snap of a twig scares me making me jump I turn around and see Niall.
"What are you doing here?" I ask turning back around.
He sits on the brick wall beside me facing away from the scenery.
"I came to see if you were alright...." he shrugs.
"You followed me?" I ignore what he's just said.

He nods.
"That's creepy was hoping no one else would find out about my spot." I say a little annoyed he followed me.
"I can leave." he thumbs towards the path back to the trail I parked on.
"I'm not that mean. You better not tell anyone else how to get here, especially Louis." I say stern.
"Hey I'm sorry about him, he's a jerk I know." Niall says.
"Your apologizing for him? Wow he must of got to you as well." I say.
Niall was scared of Louis so much so he wouldn't dare not defend him.
"Yeah I guess I am." he says.
"I don't want pity Niall I've had enough of that all my life! I'm leaving don't follow me!" I say.
Harry sped off in his car leaving Niall behind. He didn't want anyone's pity especially anyones close to Louis. He went back to the dorm locking the door behind him. Knowing drunk Liam would try to bring the girl here and he wasn't having that at all. He was alone for the night.
I decide to shower, since they are never busy around this time. It's 10:50 at night. I gather my shower bag and some sweats and head to the showers. Starting the water I strip folding my dirty clothes in a pile so they don't fall to the wet nasty floor. Thank you for flips flops!
I step under the water, letting it cascade down my body. The water feels heavenly. I squirt some coconut scented shampoo onto my hand washing my hair. I hear the door open and close but no sound of anyone at all. I quickly finish up my shower. Throwing my hair in a towel after putting on my packers sweat shirt. Scrambling to get into my boxers, I could hear more movement it was only one person out there I know. Something tells me it's not going to be nice when I step out. I do have my phone yes!
I fumble with it getting it out my pocket and I bring up Liams number. Praying he isn't drunk.
Liam I'm in the bathroom at the dorms, someone's in here. Only one person I know and whoever it is wants to get me. Where are you?
My fingers shake as I press send. I give Liam five minutes to respond and he doesn't. So I have to go out there myself and most likely get beaten to a pulp.
"W-whoever is out there I'm coming out now, and I don't want any trouble."
I gather my things in my arms stuffing my phone back in my pocket. I'm shaking cause I'm so scared the steam fogs everything so I can't really see where anyone is.
"I'm leaving now I'm at the door." I say in a shaky voice trying to find the handle.
A hand grabs my shirt pulling me against the wall. I close my eyes but open them after I'm slammed against it. Louis it's Louis. He smells gross like alcohol and cigarettes.
"L-Louis I uh don't want any trouble. P-please let me go." I hug my things closer.
He stares at me with those icey blues directly into my eyes. I squirm trying to get out of his grip. Shit he's strong.
"Louis let me go, stop looking at me." I say turning my head away from his stare.
His arm is against my neck the other is at his side. His knee is under my crotch. If I wasn't hugging my things I could smack him hard enough to where he falls but I can't. He starts leaning forward his face is almost sad but angry at the same time. I shake my head from side to side. He is not kissing me! No way!
"Pretty little pwincess is scared." he slurs.
"Don't call me that!" I snap.
"You stop being so troubling to Liam you hear me, you've ruined his night. I can't have you doing that." he warns.
"Why do you do this to me?" I question trying to reconcile with him calmly.
He laughs.
"I enjoy ruining your perfect little life you have going on." he says with an evil smile.
This made Harry snap. Nothing about his life was perfect.
Harry dropped his things giving Louis a hard push to the floor.
"You think my life is perfect! You are dead wrong! Not a single thing in my life is perfect and it's not because of you either! You are disgusting! You think its perfectly fine to harass me and degrade me and push me around! Louis you are cold, you have taken my only fucking friend from me! You are horrible!" I yell.
He scrambles to his feet slamming me hard and violently against the wall making me whimper in pain.
Louis almost spilled, almost finally broke down and told everything. About how his dad cheated on his mum too many times, about how his mum struggles taking care of the kids. About everything, but he didn't. Instead he didn't he got up angry with himself he walked out leaving Harry alone. He can't do it and he won't tell him anything. Louis thought. Louis felt something, something like guilt, and sorrow.
Harry was shocked. He did see tears in Louis' eyes but why was he crying now? He gathered his things going straight to bed thinking about what he saw in Louis' face after he had yelled at him. He went to bed with Louis on his mind.
