Empty Seat

Chapter 70

Harry's POV

  I walk into English Literature with Louis and it feels off. A mixture of fear and sorrow wash over me. The fear is that Liam is going to sneak up out of nowhere and hurt Louis. The sorrow is due to looking over to Niall's old seat and not seeing him sitting there. I look at the seat closer and notice that there is a plaque on it. The plaque "Rest In Peace Niall. You may gone, but you'll never be forgotten." My eyes begin to water. I don't know who did that, but I love to thank whoever did. That is a very sweet gesture on their part. I think Louis agrees because he smiles sadly at the plaque. After several minutes of staring at it, Louis and I take our sits right as the profesor walks in. 

    She looks directly at Louis and I as she unpacks her bag and places her belonings on her desk. "Before I begin class today, I'd like to welcome back Harry and Louis." Several murmurs pass through the class. I nod and Louis gives a small smile. Luckily, she dosen't say anything and we dive straight into the lesson. The lesson consists of her giving a boring lecture. God I didn't miss these lectures. I try to pay attention, but my attention keeps wandering to Niall's empty sit. I miss him so fucking him. I didn't like him at first, but he grew on me quickly. It's honestly so damn hard sitting in this class and not seeing his face or hearing his voice. If Niall were here, he'd answer a ton of questions because that's the kind of person he was. He was a genius. 

     Since the profesor is busy facing the board and writing things down, I look back at Louis. I mouth "Are you okay?" He shakes his head no and mouths. "We'll discuss it later." I nod and return my attention to the boring lecture for the rest of the class until we're dismissed. Once we are, I grab Louis' hand and walk him to his next class, wanting to get a few minutes alone with him.
