Torn // n.h.

chapter seventeen

I had to leave. The concert wasn't over but i had to get out of there. I only stopped at the door to backstage when i head someone rush out.

"I gotta use the loo boys i'll be back!" he screamed into the mic.

"Louis what are you doing?" I annoyingly asked.

"Making sure you're okay. I didn't mean to, it just came out. I'm sorry."

"Lou, i don't have time for your childish love games so please just leave me alone and get back to your concert. Just please, no more chasing after me. Please get over me, there's nothing we can do."

"Just please, hear me out. If anything happens between you two, or you feel out of it, please promise me i'm the first you'd run to." he begged.

"i-i just-" i ran. i ran to the bathroom and locked myself in a stall.

No promises you can't keep. You don't love Louis. You love Niall. 

I repeated over and over until i heard a knock on the stall door.

"Becca?" I heard a familiar accent.

"Becca?" it continued. 

"Lottie?" I asked, tears running down my cheeks. I opened the stall door.

"What's wrong sweetie?" she asked.

"Nothing it's just- nothing." i continued.

"You know you can tell me anything..." 

"yeah, i know babe. but i'll be fine. I promise."

Number one broken.

"You sure? No offense, but you look terrible."

I looked towards the mirror to see my hair in knots and tear stains running down my cheeks.

"I'll be fine" I repeated.

I followed her back to the dressing area where her and Lou fixed up the small amount of makeup i had on and brushed through my hair, styling it in many ways.

"i love you guys." I turned to them and joined a group hug.

The boys walked in on us after that, drenched in sweat, Liam and Louis in water as well.

Louis screamed his natural reaction 'PDA!' and left us all laughing.

"Shut up Louis, nobody asked you." i laughed.

"I seem to be getting that one a lot." He remarked.

"Don't be rude." I retorted.

"Don't be a bitch." he sassed.

"Oii!" Niall stood up.

everybody looked up in shock at what had just happened.

"Niall clam down." Liam warned.

"Niall can fight me if he wants to." Louis piped up.

"Niall's not fighting anybody, sit down. and Louis shut our mouth."

"I'm just gonna go get Paul..." Lou quickly strolled out.

Paul came in and grabbed Niall, leaving me, Lottie, and the other boys.

"What the hell was that!? i screamed at Louis.

He remained silent.

"Louis! I asked you a question!"

"I'm sorry! Okay? I'm sorry that happened. I'm sorry i lost it. I'm sorry i'm not good enough!" he screamed.

"Louis..."
