The Love Countdown
two;
‘So light em’ up
Light em’ up
Light em’ up
ON FIIRRRREEEEE’
I groaned internally and rolled over to push the annoying little button on my alarm clock. I sighed, getting up and walking over to where I had last thrown my t-shirt. I picked up the white fabric and pulled it over my head. Still wearing my checked Pyjama pants, I strolled lazily down the hallway, admiring the lovely shade of boring we chose for the wall colour. White wasn’t my best move, to be entirely honest.
I walked past Louis’ bedroom, listening for the faint snoring sound, just to make sure he was asleep.
I hadn’t really thought about finding someone these days, but ever since that interview, I’ve been overthinking. I know I still had to wait another fucking month, but I was getting anxious, I couldn’t hug my pillow any longer, she was getting obnoxious and not returning the gesture. The boys had told me that I’ll meet the perfect person, I would always bite back with something along the lines of ‘but I want someone to love me nooowww’ they would all just sigh and roll their eyes, but I do know that they secretly feel sorry for me.
There had been countless nights where Louis and I would sit on opposite couches in front of the TV and watch sappy Love movies like ‘Pretty Woman’ or ‘Love Actually’. We had gone a bit too far in Love Actually and I ended up blubbering the whole way through. We would eat endless amounts of ice cream, popcorn, chips, and lollies and would eventually pass out on the couches only to be rudely woken up by the sound of Nialls fist banging against the door tell us to ‘hurry the fuck up’.
As I finished making my cup of tea, I hoisted myself up onto the cool, marble island bench and watched the world go by from the window.
I heard a faint cough and whipped my head around to see Louis standing in the doorway.
“Don’t beat yourself up mate.” He said shaking his head and looking at me.
“I feel and look like shit Louis, I want someone to love me.”
“You’re going to find someone in a month; can’t you wait for that long? You’ve waited your whole life.”
And with that, he walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. I could hear the voices of the 7:00 breakfast show blearing out of the TV; I sighed as I jumped down onto the ground and went to join Louis.

“Boys, our wax figures have been officially open to the public!” Liam shouted from the other end of the bar table. We all raised our glasses and shouted various hoorays and WOOs. I chugged down the last of my drink and set the glass back down on the table.
“I actually cannot believe how real they look!” Niall had laughed at the sight of his, it looked just like him.
I guess you could say mine was okay, the dimples were a little too prominent, and the way they styled my hair looked really stupid. But I guess you could say that even our wax figures looked sexy.
“I think it’s time to go home boys.” Zayn stated as we all nodded our heads. We burst out of the nightclub doors and stumbled over to the car. We were all giggling like little 5 year old girls who had just discovered what kissing was, it was funny really, seeing everyone’s inner child come out.

As we practically fell out of the car, I was feeling lightheaded and needed to pee. It was only about 4:00 in the afternoon, so I actually have no idea why we were all drunk as fuck anyways.
Absolute lightweight. I chuckled to myself.
“I’m going to bed.” Liam rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“Mate, its only 4:00, what’s your problem?”
I laughed and got a glare from Liam.
“Liam here has a girlyfriend” I giggled like a school girl.
“Shut up Haz.” Liam whined while everyone else had a little chorus of ‘oooo’s’
That was another thing that got me really upset, everyone else had Girlfriends besides Niall, Zayn and I. it would be nice to bring a girl home for once, have her meet the boys, all in a month I kept telling myself, just wait a month and you can love the shit out of the girl you meet.
That was the last of what I heard from the boys, while I was in the middle of my crisis, I had managed to walk down the hallway and into the apartment and crash on my bed.
I had thought of it all before, loving someone, but now that I think of it.
I wasn’t ready at all.
