You belong with me

Chapter One - Discovery

(Harry, Louis, Liam, Zayn and Niall are all sat in Harry's living room. Louis, Zayn and Liam are all on their phones, Zayn and Liam sharing funny videos between one another. Louis is scrolling through his photos, his face lighting up every few scrolls.)

Harry: well, this is very social isn't it lads?

Niall: this is the most social we've been in months Harold!

(Niall and Harry laugh)

(Louis clears his throat and stands up, letting out a big sigh)

Harry: you alright louis?

Louis: yep fine, just going to head to the loo quick.

(Louis heads off to the toilet, his head hung low and his feet trailing along)

Harry: has anyone else noticed that louis has been a bit off lately?

(Zayn and Liam both put their phones down)

Zayn: he definitely hasn't been himself mate.

Niall: I agree. He's usually this big ball of energy, but not for the past few months.

Liam: maybe he's having a hard time touring? I think that a big thin-

(Liam is cut off by the sound of soft crying coming from the bathroom, followed by the ripping of tissue and sniffles)

Harry: right that's it, I'm going to see if he's okay.

(Harry jogs over to the bathroom and knocks on the door, trying to open it)

Harry: hey louis, you okay mate? We thought we heard you crying and I just-

Louis: can I just have a few minutes mate! I'm fine.

Harry: sorry, I'll leave now..

(Harry's hand slowly slides off the door handle as he walks away from the door, his head facing the floor as he holds back tears)

Niall: you alright bud?

(Harry sits down on the sofa, fiddling with the loose thread on his black t-shirt)

Harry: yeah fine, he just told me to leave him for a bit.

Liam: hey boys? Louis left his phone open.. you might want to see this..

(they all crowd around the phone screen, except Harry, feeling bad that if he walked in at this moment, Louis would get upset)

Niall: I know you don't feel like you should look harry, but you might want too..

Harry: fine, but don't blame me if he comes in!

(Harry looks over at the phone screen, sighs and falls back into his spot on the sofa, scoffing)

Harry: what's wrong with that? It's just me and louis at a bar!

Niall: well I'd be pretty surprised if that wasn't you harry! And I think there's a lot more where that came from!

Harry: what's that supposed to mean Niall?

(Niall and the other boys all go really quiet, looking anywhere but at Harry)

Harry: right well if you're all going to be dicks about it then you can leave my house!

(Louis walks back into the room with tear stained cheeks and a sad expression painted on his face)

Louis: I'm back boys, sorry I took so-

(Louis sees his phone open in Liam's hand)

Louis: what the fuck Liam! What gave you the right to pick up my phone and look at my private photos! And I bet harry saw as well.
