louis slid under the sheets of his bed before taking his pillow and smacking himself in the face repeatedly. after he felt like he had beat himself up enough, he placed the pillow back underneath his head and closed his eyes, letting sleep take over his imagination.

-

"louis..."

louis' eyes snapped open, and he sat up immediately. he whipped his head in all directions, looking for something, anything familiar. but no. he was just sitting on the ground in a room of... light.

"what the hell?" he whispered to himself, examining his surroundings.

he stood up, looking down at his feet and realizing that he couldn't even see the ground beneath him!

"louis!"

louis didn't know what else to do, so he ran. he ran straight ahead, not finding himself going anywhere. everything was exactly the same.

"LOUIS!"

louis finally got annoyed with the voice, whoever the fuck it was. he stopped running, tilted his head upwards, and screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?"

suddenly, he heard a soft, yet familiar voice from behind him.

"why did you do it, louis?"

his eyes filled with tears as he slowly turned around.

"niall... i'm-"

"why? why would you do something like this to me?" niall cried. "I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!"

louis cautiously made his way towards him, speaking words of comfort as he walked.

"niall please, i'm so so sorry, we are friends-"

"lou bear..."

louis froze. he knew that voice too.

"harry!" he spun around again, to find his ex-lover calling out his name.

he ran towards him, but harry only stepped back.

harry's expression went blank for a few seconds, before turning into one of disgust.

"you cheated on me, why should i touch you?" harry spat.

a pang of guilt hit louis' heart. "harry, i-"

harry put his hand in louis' face. "save it. i've moved on."

zayn then appeared behind harry, wrapping his arms around his waist and kissing his neck. harry moaned and glared at louis, before turning around and kissing zayn right on the mouth.

louis brought his hand up to his face, not being able to contain the tears streaming down his face.

he remembered niall and turned around again, to find niall no where in sight!

"niall...?"

he looked around, and harry was gone too.

"harry????"

louis' heart raced, as he was filled with fear.

"GET ME OUT OF THIS PLACE!" he screamed, collapsing onto the floor.

-

louis woke up screaming.

he shot up, falling out of his bed and landing on the floor with a loud thud.

"fuuuuuck." he groaned. "i'm a mess."

he decided that the most efficient way to make up for that horrible start of the morning was to take a nice, refreshing shower, which he hadn't done for what, four weeks? five? not even he knew.

he stood up from his place on the floor and stretched, also taking a glance at the clock in the process.

11:48 a.m.

it was then that he remembered that today was his birthday.

he chuckled sadly. it wasn't like he was going to have a party or anything, and even if he did, it wasn't like anyone would come, given the circumstances. so he didn't even bother to wish himself happy birthday because in actuality, it really wasn't a very happy birthday.

he went to the bathroom, and screamed upon seeing himself in the mirror.

approaching his reflection, he stared at himself in horror.

"HOLY FUCK TOMLINSON, YOU LOOK HORRID!" he yelled at himself.

his hair was all over the place, knotting in different areas. his breath smelled worse then the dump. his shirt had all kinds of different stains on it. his once bright and joyful cerulean eyes now held nothing but dull melancholy.

he quickly brushed his teeth before stripping and jumping into the shower, where he found out that taking showers with cuts all over your arms really stung.

-

after getting out of the shower and throwing on a random outfit, he decided to call niall again, knowing very well that he wouldn't answer. but it was definitely worth a try.

he unlocked his phone, as always.

he went to niall's contact, his heart sinking as he saw his contact picture, (a cute selfie he had taken with niall at a club one night), as always.

his hands trembled as he clicked niall's contact, as always.

the phone rang and rang, and niall still hadn't answered, as alw-

"hi, louis."
