Chapter 13

I continued the next line singing, "Can't explain it, how you swept me off my feet unexpectedly. In slow motion, my imagination running trying to keep my body still, I can hardly stand the thrill." I had to take a breath before I hit the high note. "Baby don't be gentle! I can handle anything!" Louis and Harry looked at me in amazement.

"So this is what took my place when I decided to quit a while back?"

"Yeah. Isn't it amazing?!" Louis said, clearly amazed. "It's actually better now then it was a couple of years ago." Louis looked over at me and squinted his eyes. "Have you been taking singing lessons?!" I crossed my arms, trying to hide my smile.

"I have no clue what you're talking about." I teased, watching their expression. Harry wiggled his eyebrows at me, and Louis just crossed his arms. "I don't, so stop making faces at me!" I tried my best not to laugh, but I just couldn't hold it in.

"I knew it! You do know what were talking about!!" Louis jumped while laughing crazily.

"Boobear, calm down!" Harry said wrapping his arm around my neck. Louis sighed, taking his seat on the floor again. He crossed his arms and huffed.

"You ruin my fun all the time!"

Harry clutched his stomach in laughter. "I'm sorry. I guess I'm turning into Daddy Direction!" Before anyone could reply, there was a knock at the door. I already knew who it was. Edward. Immediately I shook my head fast.

"It's Edward," I whispered remembering the awkward argument Edward and Zayn had about three minutes ago. "Don't let him stay here." Harry got up, walking to the door. As he opened it, I decided to lay down on Louis' lap. He had his legs straight out in front of him and was leaning back on his arms. My cheek was on his thigh, and he was scratching my back to the beat of a new song.

"Hey can I crash here for a couple of nights?"

"Sorry, we've already got a full room. It's Louis, Sharissa and I. Sorry." Edward didn't leave his position at the door. I looked up at Louis, and we shared the same expression. It wasn't just me who felt the tension.

"What is your problem with me?!" Edward asked, setting his bag down.

"My problem? Oh let's see, you're the one who almost killed my soon to be wife! And my kids! You think I forgave you for that? Well, if you did you're messed up in your noggin' because I'm never going to forgive you! I haven't liked you since the day she told me about you! You aren't right for her!" Harry yelled, clenching the doorknob tightly.

"Oh, and you are?!" Edward yelled back.

"Guys," I said quietly.

"I'm better for her then you are! You're the one who tried to kill her!"

"You're better for her?! You're the reason she kept running back and forth between you and Niall! I watched that interview! You said you were single! How do you think that made her feel?! Huh?" Edward and Harry were now in each others faces, and I was scared to get up and break them.

"You shut your mouth!" Harry yelled releasing the doorknob.

"No! I don't have to! Have you ever stopped for a split second and thought about how she feels?! At least I did that when I had her!"

"Well, she's not yours anymore so back the heck off! She doesn't love you anymore, can't you see that?!" Edward didn't say anything as he backed away and disappeared. I sat up, looking at Louis. He shrugged his shoulders, and we studied Harry. He slammed our door shut, and took a seat back on the floor. He grabbed a handful of chips and shoved them in his mouth.

"Harry," I started

"Save it Ris!" Harry yelled at the top of his lungs. "God, you always ruin everything! You're so clingy! You need to learn to give people there space! God, I hate you sometimes! You get under my skin! Can you just leave me alone?!" Tears burned my cheeks as I got up. Louis tried grabbing my arm but I was too strong and fast.

"If that's the way you want it." I stormed out of the living space, letting Louis call after me. Once I was in the bedroom, I slammed it shut and jumped on Louis' bed. The lights were off, making the room completely black. I started crying when someone walked in.

"Ris," a soft voice said. I couldn't bear to answer. Honestly, I couldn't because I was busy crying.

"You're not clingy." The owners voice laid down facing me. By the way they laid, I guessed it was Louis. He scooted over to me so I cried on his chest, and his arm was around my back. "I'm sure he doesn't mean it."

"And what if he does?! Huh? What if he means it, and never wants to be with me again?!"

"Then I'll make you mine." Louis laughed.

"I'm being serious Louis." He sighed, moving some of my curls out of the way. "What if he doesn't love me anymore?"

"Ris, he's always going to love you. Just like I'm always going to love Eleanor." He kissed my forehead, and I closed my eyes. "You can sleep with me tonight. But you need to get some sleep. Goodnight." I did as he said, so I wiped my eyes, and tried to fall asleep.
