Fall (One Direction) [Sequel To Run]

Epilogue

Callin

"Really? That shouldn't be allowed! C'mon."

"You're just mad you're losing."

Louis shoves me playfully.

"Am not" he says. "But that shouldn't be allowed."

"He's a sore loser, Callin" Harry says. "Especially at Mario Kart."

"Is anyone not a sore loser at Mario Kart?" Flynn asks.

My car passes hers on the telly, and she swears.

"He's not" Louis says, inclining his head in Harry's direction. "He takes pride in losing."

"Are you really a whole lap behind?" Flynn asks Harry.

He shrugs.

"Apparently" he says, as his car falls into the lake yet again.

"How many is that now?" Louis asks.

"Er, eleven" Harry says. "This round, of course."

"You're the worst Mario Kart player I think I've ever met" Flynn says.

"You love me anyway" he replies cheekily.

"Yeah, because I'll always win!" she says.

"Not if Callin's playing" Louis says.

A minute later, I cross the finish line in first place.

Flynn is right behind me, then Louis, then Harry some time later.

We're about to start a new round when the doorbell rings.

Louis and I race to get it, like we always do.

He nearly slips on the rug in the hall, and has to grab the wall to steady himself, so I get to the door first.

I pull it open and see someone that I never thought I'd see again.

"Steph."

It's not a question, though I have plenty.

"Callin" she says softly.

Then she seems to remember why she's here.

"You're in danger."

The storm is here.
