Guilty Pleasure (Larry Stylinson - Stranger sequel)

Chapter 32 (Where is Louis? - Part 2)

-       Come quickly- I open the building entrance door and then just open my flat door, I was freaking excited, finally news about him! Liam joined me, looking also very happy.

The lift door opened and a young lad, no more than 20 years appeared. I gesture him “right here” with my hands and he look at me and did a shy smile. He walks towards us and I was prepared to embrace him in a hug, he knew were Louis was, I could tell.

-       Thank you so much for coming, please come in- I said

We all seated in the living room, me and Liam in one of the big couches while the young lad on the small one, he did look very nervous now, observing everything as if he was looking for something.

-       You have a lovely flat- he smiled

-       Thank you, and really it's been more than a pleasure knowing that there are still nice people out there- I pad his shoulder- Tell me your name, and where do you come from…

-       I'm Luke, originally I come from Sidney but right now I am living in Carlisle

Me and Liam look at each other, Carlisle? What was Louis doing in the Scottish border?

-       So, you saw the add in- Liam started

-       Milk bottle, his picture was there and yeah it was Louis, I wanted to call first but I was near the train station so, coming was the best I could do- he add

We were all in silence, I was having one of my dimple smiles rocking back and ford in the couch, Liam had his eyebrow raised and was judging my behavior, and the Luke was just awkwardly smiling

-       Anyways, where did you find him?- Liam asked anxiously

-       Near Nando's, he looked so lost and alone when all of the sudden I could see some man’s wearing hoods with loaded guns were approaching him, before they could react, I scream “On the ground now!” and Tommo just did it, luckily the police listen my scream and came very quickly… not to brag, but if I wasn´t there, Tommo would be dead by now

-       Dead?- I said with worry in my eyes

-       Sadly, but after that I just invited him to come to my place, he didn´t had any real plans, he didn´t even want to tell me his name. He just look at me as if I was some inferior form of life, the first night, he didn´t sleep, he spend all night awake looking out the window, I try asking him if he was alright, maybe he needed a phone call but nothing, he barely spoke to me, he just said “those converse are overrated” and I laugh, but he keep staring at nothing

-       Poor Louis- I said with my hand on my chest

-       That was the first week I had with him, just bitchy comments about me and staring at nothing for hours, he barely ate- the young lad then smile- But the second week he start warming up, ask me a little bit about myself and pretend he wasn´t listening, but I know he was. The 3rd week he bought a notebook, and he started writing there, of course he barked at me every time I ask him what was he doing, but he keep saying “Chill, I have a plan” and just like that, at the end of the 4th week, Tommo and I kind of build a friendship.

-       A friendship?- I asked

-       Yeah, he started cleaning stuff, recommending me shows to watch, we watch Big Brother together, he cook sometimes, not saying it was delicious but little by little, the bitchy look he got start fading away and he laugh, and started treating me alright- he then look at me directly- but there was something he keep doing, staring at nothing every Friday, he didn´t move or anything, and when I ask he said “its…
