London

Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran was playing in Liam's car. He hummed along to the song's tune. That song reminded him of someone. Louis' face appeared in his mind.

Since their meeting in the coffee shop that day, Liam was feeling guilty. He was haunted with guilt every time his boss' eyes were glaring at him.

Liam shook his head, trying to erase all the memories. He sang along with the singer, while tapping his fingers on the steering wheel after the rhythm. If he could, he wanted all the painful memories of Louis and him end with the finished song.

He changed the channel looking for another when he stopped to hear a deejay talking to entertain his heart. While he was focusing on the radio, suddenly a sleek black Jaguar was cutting his Volkswagen. The Jaguar violently parked horizontally in front of his car. He jumpily stepped on his brake pedal before his car stopped abruptly leaving a screeching sound where the tarred surface was scratching the wheels.

"Bloody hell!" he cursed aloud. He can see Harry was walking out from the car before he walked angrily towards his car. His face looked furious.

At that time, the road was empty only lighted with dim street lights. Looking at the time that was past midnight during weekdays, there's no wonder the road was quiet.

Liam was not afraid of Harry. He knew that Harry wanted to pick a fight with him. He opened his door before calmly facing Harry who was standing besides his car at the moment.

"Why was you driving like a madman? Even if you have something important to say, you could give a signal first. But you were just cutting like that. What if an accident happened?"

Liam tried to control his voice tone, didn't want to raised it. But he was cursing Harry in his mind who didn't know how to respect other road's users.

"Road rules is the last thing that I care about now." Harry snapped. "I need to ask you something. I didn't want to talk about this in the office."

"What is it then?" Liam asked him.

"I want to ask you something important."

Liam was confused with Harry's actions. He stared into Harry's dishevelled appearance. His black button down's sleeves has folded until his elbow. His face's looking tired. The dark eye bags was visible under his eyes. He looked like he was lacking of sleep.

Harry ran his fingers through his curls. "I want to know, where is Louis? Do you know anything about him? Do you know where he was hiding at?"

Liam's confused expressions turned tense. Louis was missing? He felt like his blood was running to his face. Angry! It's not like he couldn't expect, Harry was the reason Louis ran away from their house. That jerk!

"What have you done to him?" Liam urged him.

"That has nothing to do with you!" Harry cut him. "The most important thing now is where is he?"

Liam smiled cynically. He was about to laugh looking at Harry's distraught state. Serve him right!

"Do you think that I am his bodyguard?"

Harry's chest was heaving with anger. His ears were about to burst hearing Liam mocking him. If he was to follow his instinct, he would've gifted a punch to that man's handsome face. To leave a reminder.

"I want to give you a warning. I don't want you and Louis to have any relationship. Don't you dare to contact him by any way. Understand!"

Liam laughed. "Hey, what's the matter with you? Do you want to be a dictator? Louis and I has been friends for so long, and I had known him longer than you. Do you think you can easily cut our relationship?"

Harry grew furious. "Old friend or old boyfriend? Judging from your attitude, I know that you have a feeling for him, right? You have to remember, he will always be mine. You can find another man!"

"Another man is not Louis."

"Don't fucking try to challenge me!"

"What can you do?" Liam mocked.

"Are you fucking jealous? I don't blame you. Louis is more than beautiful. Way more beautiful than that model you was parading around. But what a shame, you don't know how to appreciate him. It's not my fault if he chose me. Serve your right!"

"Bastard!"

Out of nowhere, Harry's palm that he was fisting tightly since before was flying towards Liam's face, hitting his lips. Reflect's action! Harry's patience was long forgotten.

Liam was about to kneel down on the roadside. His body was swaying. His fingers touched his busted lips. Blood!

Liam's fist has raised by reflex. He wanted to punch Harry's face so badly, to make it fair. But, he dropped his fist to his side, hanging loosely.
He shook his head regretfully. "I'm still respecting you. You're my superior and Louis' husband. If I'm not thinking for Louis, you would've a bruised eye by now."

Harry was frozen. He was ashamed of his reckless behaviour. Fucking bad temper! Didn't know the meaning of patience! He was feeling beyond ashamed of his reckless behaviour towards Liam.

"You're lacking of fair judgements."

"My judgements was based on prove!" Which men would not suspecting anything if his spouse has been looked and stared at. Who would not curious if in they were quiet in front of other people but were holding hands behind.

"Listen here carefully. Louis and I could never be lovers. I had wasted my chance when we were in high school. I was a coward to confess my feelings to him. I hoped that he would understand my feelings but finally you're the lucky man who got him." Liam laughed bitterly, trying to cover his aching heart.

Harry grew still. What Liam said has left a dent in his heart. Of how much precious Louis was. He should be fucking grateful to have Louis as his spouse. But because of his lacked of fair judgements and ego, Louis has run away from him. Suddenly he was afraid, afraid that Louis would not ever returned to his side.

"But..." Liam added, "If you let him go, I will not hesitate to take him by my side."

Harry's tongue felt heavy. He deeply stared into Liam's brown eyes. "Do you know where he is?" he slowly asked after a while.

Liam shook his head. He opened his car's door before he swiftly entered his car. "I anything happened to him, you'll know your fate!" Liam spat. He turned his engine on before the car was speeding away leaving a cloud of smoke.

Harry was still standing there, on the empty road's side. He was in misery.
