Chapter 33

Harry's POV

~~next day~~

~~10:30am~~

The weather has been really nice lately, so Paul said we were "allowed" to go outside on a walk, or walk around town and visit the shops and stuff. We're on Tour again so we've been staying at a hotel, I personally liked being at my flat but what ever, oh and you're probably wondering why I hadn't mentioned my mum in while, she left about a week ago, she told me if I was having any more "problems" to give her a call, but I have Louis right now so I'm good.

We've been walking around town for a while and my feet are killing me, I don't get why Zayn and Liam like to visit the shops, they hardly bring money with them anyway. Niall, of course, brings along money, he's always buying useless junk at convenient stores and blows his money on cheep trinkets and crap that always end up falling apart or breaking.

Louis hasn't left my side all day, which makes me wonder, is he starting to like me? I know he kissed me but was it just in a friendly way? I was crying, he probably knew it would shut me up, I think he can kinda tell I like him, he should know by now, I've liked, scratch that, loved him, for years. Ever since I met him I loved him, he's just a great guy, he's so funny and charming, adorable and just, well, perfect.

The five of us turned the corner and went down the sidewalk, I have no idea where we're going anymore, Niall's running ahead of us and Liam says he HAS to keep an eye on him, Niall gets lost easily, we could be in an empty supermarket and he'd get separated from us somehow, he never listens.

"I WANNA GO IN HERE! LIAM CAN WE GO IN HERE?!" Niall shouted, excitedly, stopping and pointing to the candy store in front of him, he smashed his face against the window "I wanna go in there" before Liam could open his mouth Niall had run off, "see ya, I'll be in here"

"NIALL, I didn't say you could go in" Liam groaned and followed Niall into the candy store, he shoved all of Niall's bags into Zayn's hands, "whaaaat? Why am I stuck holding his junk?!" Zayn whined, sticking out his bottom lip at Liam. "You either hold his stuff or go in to get him" Liam sighed, Zayn shook his head.

"That's what I thought, be right back. Oh and Zayn watch those two" Liam groaned and went in he store. "Watch us?! We're not going to do anything, maybe rob a bank, but nothing serious" Louis said, smirking and winked at a very annoyed Zayn.

Zayn rolled his eyes and dropped Niall's bags on the ground, he sat on a bench and got out his phone. Me and Louis were still waiting for Liam, we were sitting on the front step of the candy store, I'm guessing it's gonna take an army to drag Niall away from a candy store, so good luck Liam.

I glanced at Louis, he had forgotten his phone and seemed as though he would do anything to entertain himself, he picked up a rock and scraped it on the cement, he wrote "Louis was here" and snickered, it was so cute. "Here hazz" he tossed me the rock and said "write something" I nodded and tapped on my chin, hmmm what can I write? I know, well it's not really writing per say but it'll do. I bent over and hopelessly tried to draw something. "There, I'm finished" I handed Louis the rock, he made a face and cocked his head. "What is it?"

"It's a cat"

"doesn't look like a cat"

I stuck my tongue out at him and smacked his arm, he shoved me and then we kinda got into a little play fight, Louis had me in a head lock when Liam walked out the door, Niall's arm in his grasp and a huge frown on his face, "Zayn! I thought I said to watch them" Liam walked over and tapped on Zayn's shoulder.

"You're back already? Oh ah I-I was watching them, I er just sat down a minute or two" Zayn stuttered, shoving his phone into his pocket, we all know what a horrible lier Zayn is so Liam didn't believe him for a second, he rolled his eyes mumbling "sure you did"

Niall broke free form Liam's hold on him and ran over to me and Louis, shoving his bag of candy on my face, "look what Liam bought me!" he opened his bag and showed me his candy. "Heeey I want candy! I thought you said you weren't buying us anything this time!" Louis complained, crossing his arms and pouting. Liam rolled his eyes, "look, it was the only way to get him out of the store" "fine" Louis whined, "I guess I'll buy my OWN candy, c'mon Harry"

Liam raised an eyebrow, "oh no you don't, I just had to get Niall, I'm not going back in after you two, Niall share your candy"

Niall's eyes widened as he clutched his precious bag of candy to his chest, "NOOO IT'S MINE!" "Niall, share it" Niall shook his head and stuck his tongue out at Liam before making a run for it down the sidewalk. "NIALL! GET BACK HERE!" Liam shouted, but it was no use, Niall had run off down the street, "we'll catch him, c'mon hazz" Louis grabbed my hand and practically dragged me down the street, we almost got hit by a car, the guy gave us the finger and swore at us, Louis found it hilarious and laughed, I didn't think it was so funny though, we could get killed.

"I see Niall! Follow me!" Louis pointed at Niall who had stopped to catch his breath and was sitting on the edge of a fountain. We snuck behind Niall and Louis grabbed him by the arm, he held him until Liam and Zayn caught up with us.

"NIALL WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" Liam screamed, "YOU COULD'VE BEEN KILLED, STOP LAUGHING IT'S NOT FUNNY" Liam glared at Niall and put his hand over his face, shaking his head.

"We should probably get going guys, Paul said to be back around 12:00" Liam said, checking his watch and grabbing Niall by the collar of his shirt and yanking on him.

"Shotpppp ish" Niall whined, with his mouth crammed full of jelly beans.

Zayn put his hands in his pockets and followed Liam, me and Louis followed them close behind, I don't want to get lost, unlike some people. I hadn't really paid much attention, but Louis and I were still holding hands, (hey, I'm ok with it.) Louis glanced at me and smirked, squeezing my hand tighter as we walked, I blushed and looked at my feet.

"Um what are you doing, Louis?" Liam asked, a strange look on his face, almost as if he were shocked.

"I'm holding my friend's hand, you have a problem?!" Louis spat, giving Liam a dirty look and walking closer to me.

"N-no, it's just, I thought you didn't do that anymore...I mean, I know you used to-" Louis cut Liam off, "well maybe I like to, so you can shut the hell up"

Liam raised an eyebrow, "ok then" he walked away, still in sight, but away from Louis. Zayn came up behind me and tapped on my shoulder, "people are staring" I bit my lip as I glanced around, I wouldn't call it staring Zayn, more like glaring....

"Let them stare then" Louis grumbled, Zayn simply nodded and walked off. I didn't like it though, not that Louis was holding my hand, that was ok, I just didn't like the way this group of teenage guys were looking at us...almost like they wanted to kill me, "lou, those guys are staring at me.." I whispered, glancing at them again. Louis looked over his shoulder, " they probably just know who we are" I nodded, why does it seem like they're following us now?

"L-Lou...I'm scared" I whispered, nudging his side and glancing at them again.

"Don't be, I'll protect you" he squeezed my hand, which made me feel a bit safer. I wonder where Liam's gotten to, it's so crowded down town I've lost them, great.

"Are we lost?" I asked, looking around, the surroundings were unfamiliar, at this point I had no clue where we were...

"I don't think so, let's take a short cut" Louis and I turned the corner and walked down the ally between to apartment buildings, ok I don't know where we are, we're lost, thanks for running off like that Liam...

"Hazz stay here, I'll be right back I promise, I'm gonna go see if I can find a pay phone to call Liam's cell. Wait here." Louis let go of my hand and ran off down the street. Just great...before, I was lost, but now I'm lost and alone...I don't like this...

I sighed and put my hands in my pockets, I hope Louis gets back soon, I don't like being alone.

"HEY THERE HE IS"

I looked up to see four guys running towards me, it wasn't the boys though...it was the guys who had been following me and Louis...
