If I'm Louder, Would You See Me?

Chapter 6

"Well uhm, I've been keeping something from you, Louis, everyone...and I don't think I can keep it away from you anymore. So-" *phone vibrates* I looked down and saw a text from Louis.

'Hey did you get them yet?'

'Yeah and Niall was about to say something to me before you texted me >:('

"Sorry about that. Lou was just wondering if I got them done yet. You were saying?"

"Oh uh yeah. So I've been keeping it to myself but I can't do it anymore. Catherine, I like you. A lot."

"Are you serious?" Niall nodded his head.

"Is that why you've been acting so weird lately?"

"Yeah. I couldn't tell Louis, he'd kill me."

"Yeah he would." I couldn't believe Niall liked me.

"So...I have a question. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Of course! But wait, how are we going to hide this from Louis?"

"I don't know but we'll figure out something. We should probably go." Niall started the car and drove back to my house. We pulled up and went inside.

"LET ME SEE!!!" Eleanor shouted. I turned around so she could see. She slowly pulled the bandage off.

"Those are so cool! Any reason why you got 'Don't stop dreaming'?"

"Well I've always lived by that saying and I just like stars so that one is obvious."

"Move, let me see." Louis stood up and looked at my tattoos. Along came the other boys and Perrie, Sara, and Caity. I felt weird having everyone stare at my back but I was happy I finally got a tattoo.

"You guys done?" I chuckled.

"Yep." She put the bandage back on. I turned around and everyone sat back down.

"Hey all you girls...my room." I called as walked up the stairs to my room. I heard them stand up and follow me.

"What's up?" Perrie said, sitting down on my bed. I walked over to my door and closed it.

"Okay so I'm just going to say this...I'm dating Niall."

"WHAT?!" Caity screamed.

"Shhh!"

"Sorry." She looked down at the floor.

"When did this happen?" Sara asked.

"Right before we got here. But Louis CAN'T know. He'll kill him."

"So is that why Niall's been so odd lately?" El asked.

"Yep, which you can't blame him. Louis' like any brother, protective. I'm not sure he would want his band mate to be dating his sister."

"I'm sure he wouldn't flip out since it's Niall. Now Harry...that's a different story."

"Hey!" Caity protested.

"You know it's true." I said, looking at Caity.

"Back to Natherine. How are you gonna keep this from Louis?" Perrie asked, getting back to the point.

"Well we're not- wait, did you seriously just make a ship name?"

"Maybe."

"Okay well anyways, we're not sure how we're going to do that. I thought that maybe I could hang out with Niall a lot and just tell Louis I was trying to find out what's wrong with him."

"That's not a bad idea." Perrie said, standing up.

"Where are you going?"

"Hang on." She walked over to the door and opened it. There stood a smiling Niall.

"You're lucky I wasn't your brother." He said walking in and standing beside me.

"What were you doing out there?"

"Listening. I know how girls are. If there's a secret, you have a group meeting."

"Okay then. What do you think of my idea?"

"It's good. I think it might work. I mean I have been weird lately."

"Great. So do we tell the other boys or no? Do you think they can keep it from him?"

"Keep what from who?" Louis said, walking into my room. I could see everyone tense up from the corner of my eye.

"Uh...well since you're here it kind of ruins it. I thought about getting a tattoo of your initials. It was gonna be a surprise."

"Oh sorry."

"It's fine."

"I was just coming up here to see what was taking Niall so long." I looked over at Niall, confused.

"Oh I completely forgot. We were gonna order pizza. Anything specific?" I looked around at everyone else. They all shook their heads.

"Nope. Whatever is fine, thanks for asking."

"Alright, no problem." Niall looked at me and winked.

*Louis' P.O.V*

I walked upstairs to see what was taking Niall so long. I stopped when I heard Catherine speak.

"Great. So do we tell the other boys or no? Do you think they can keep it from him?"

"Keep what from who?" I walked into the room.

"Uh...well since you're here it kind of ruins it. I thought about getting a tattoo of your initials. It was gonna be a surprise."

"Oh sorry." Did she really think I was going to believe that? Something's up and I'm going to find out what it is.

"It's fine."

"I was just coming up here to see what was taking Niall so long." I looked over at him.

"Oh I completely forgot. We were gonna order a pizza. Anything specific?"

"Nope. Whatever is fine. Thanks for asking."

"Alright, no problem." Yep. Something was definitely going on.

"Okay well I'm gonna go call them then." I turned around and went back downstairs to order the pizza.

*Catherine's P.O.V*

"Awww. You two are cute." Eleanor said, staring at us.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"That wink."

"Oh crap! Do you think Louis saw?"

"No, I don't think he could see Niall's face from where he was standing."

"Good." I sat down on the bed with Niall.

"So are you telling the others?" Sara asked.

"Oh yeah. Are we?"

"Sure. I think they can keep it a secret." Niall said, smiling.

"Okay so Perrie you can tell Zayn, Caity you tell Harry, and Sara and El you guys can tell Liam."

"Got it." Caity said. Once Niall left, we talked about us for a while until the pizza came.

"Everybody, act normal. We don't need a suspicious Louis in the house."
