*Liam's Pov.*
"Alright, boys! I see you all later!" I announced, causing them ell to look up at me with confused looks.
"Where are you going?" Zayn asked, cocking an eyebrow at me.
"I'm taking Ashlee out, tonight," I stated.
"Well, what about us? What are we suposed to do?!" Louis jumped.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have your own problems to deal with," Harry replied, looking at the childish boy.
"Whatever," Louis replied, slumping back on the couch.
"Well, I'm putting Zayn is in charge. Please, no illegal actions while I'm gone," I sighed.
"Well, damn! I was really hoping to murder someone tonight!" Niall, who was eating, said with sarcasm. I glared at him.
"I can't be in charge," Zayn commented as he grabbed his coat. "I'm taking Jenni out tonight, too!"
"Well, then, what about Niall?"
"No can do, I'm actually taking Maddie out."
"Har-?"
"Busy with Nikki," he stated winking. "We have a date."
"Then I guess Louis is in charge of the house," I stated, putting on my coat.
"What makes you think I don't have plans?" Lou asked, upset.
"Because you're single...?" Niall more or less asked.
"Yeah, which is different because when you were with Felicia, you were almost never around. EVER! So this is really different," Harry rambled until Zayn smacked him, noticing the pain flashing over Lou's face. "What?"
"I'm going for a walk," Louis stated, grabbing his coat and walking out the door.
"What the hell, Harold?! You know Felicia is a touchy subject for him!" Niall scolded.
"I'm sorry, I forgot!" the curly haired boy defended.
"Let's just go! Our girls hate it when we're late," I stated. "We'll talk about Lou later."
With that I walked out to my car and got in, driving to Felicia's hotel. Ashlee had texted me and told me that she would be there helping Felicia with something and that I could just come by and pick her up.
I made my way there and to the room. I knocked and Fel answered the door without hesitation.
"Hey! Liam!" she cheered as she looked behind me. "No suprise Louis visits this time, right?" she asked.
"Nope, just me!" I smiled. She hugged me and let me in.
"Ashlee will be out in a second," she grinned. Just then my beautiful girlfriend walked in, looking even more lovely than usual.
"Hello, Beautiful," I grinned, pecking her on the cheek.
"Hey, Liam," she blushed and then turned turned to Felicia. "No pranks, parties, hospital visits or police visits, understood?"
"Yes, mom," Felicia answered like a two year old.
"Good girl! I'll be back later! Bye!" Ashlee called to Felicia as we left.
I looked at her amused when we got in the elevator. "What?" Ashlee asked, curiousity clouding his features.
"Hospital visits? Police? Its like warning Louis," I chuckled.
"Yeah, I know! They are more perfect for eachother than the let on," she replied as we made it to the lobby. There we ran into Justin. Fun.
"Hey, Liam! Hey, Ashlee," he greeted with a smiled as he made his way past us. He looked better than usual not just what he was wearing but his whole attitude seemed better. He seemed almost confident.
I looked over at Ashlee, confused. "Date with Felicia," she explained.
"Ohhhh," I said.
"Yeah, she actually wants to go but I think she's just using it as a distraction from you know who," she replied.
"I understand, I just hope they get through this. I can't imagine what would happen if we went through that," I sighed.
"Yeah, same here," she sighed, watching me open the door of my car for her. "Thank you," she giggled.
"Anything for the most beautiful girl in my life," I smiled, closed the door and ran to the other side. "Now, dinner reservations!"
*Maddie's Pov.*
"Maddie!" Felicia whined. "What did you do?"
"Well, I wanted food," I explained. That was honestly the only explaination I had for the mess I stood before.
"Really? That's all?" she asked. "Because, that's my nutella. Looks like you wanted a full on war," she stated.
"I'm sorry!" I said truthfully. Suddenly Felicia's phone rang.
"I swear, saved by the bell," she said before answering. "Hello?" I took this moment to try to run but she caught me, pulling me back to her side. "Oh, hey, Laura! What? No! That's a terrible rumor! Everything is fine! What? NO! I mean, I'm fine. Yeah, I do. Uh huh, suuuuurrrrrrrreeeee. Bye, Laura." With that she hung up.
"What?"
"We have to clean this NOW!" she rushed.
"Why?"
"Laura's on her way back," she stated and my eyes widened. That woman would freak if she saw this. She scares me and if looks could kill, she'd be a one of history's WORST murderers. I swear.
"Hurry! Come on!" Felicia rushed. We hurried and put the broken jars in a bag thenwe got everything off the floor and counters.
"Where are we gonna put this?" I asked, holding up the bags.
"My closet," Felicia jumped. I shot her a weird look until I heard someone opening the door.
"Hurry!" I whispered. Felicia dragged the back into her room just as Laura stepped through the door.
"Maddie! Hey," she greeted. "Why are you here?"
"Sleep over," Felicia stated from behind her making Laura jump.
"You scared me! I thought you had a date with Justin," she said.
"I do, but after we go out, all the girls are coming back here for the night," she stated.
"Oh, well, ok. Just as long as nothing is out of place, here," she stated, cautiously looking at the two of us. Suddenly there was a buzz at the door.
"I'LL GET IT!!!" Felicia and I shouted.
"Saved by the bell, you're on a roll today," Fel said under her breath at we ran to the door. We swung the door open and there stood my Nialler.
"Niall!" I cheered, hugging him.
"There's my Princess," he smiled.
"Hey, Niall," Felicia greeted with a smiled.
"Hey, its my sister!" he grinned. "Mind if I steal her away for a couple hours?" he asked.
"Knock yourself out," Felicia smiled.
"Thanks," Niall grinned. "See you!" And with that we were on our way to the elevator, his arm wrapped around my waist. His blue eyes looked especially bright today. They were sparkling and his blonde hair looked like he had just gotten it re-done.
"So, where are we going?" I asked.
"Somewhere," he smirked.
"Well no really," I said watching the humor dance in his eyes.
"Well, you did ask," he pointed.
"Yeah, and you're being a little smart ass," I pouted. Niall just chuckled and gave me a kiss on my nose before opening the door of his car for me.
Before I got in he leaned in close to my neck and I could feel his breath. "I has to do with food," he whispered.
"Well, then. What are we waiting for?" I smiled, turning so I was facing him. Our faces were inches apart and he closed the space, giving me a lingering kiss on my lips.
"Ok, let's go," he grinned. We got in his car and left.
*Zayn's Pov.*
"So what's up with you?" I asked, looking at Jenni who was sitting across from me.
"What do you mean?" she asked, taking a sip of her drink.
"Well, you seem a little off, that's all," I replied.
"Oh, I don't know. I guess I'm just worried about Felicia. she hasn't been her lately. She's quieter and she's not as up beat as before," Jenni sighed.
"Same with Louis, they aren't the same anymore," I stated. She nodded in response.
"So, how did you find this place?" Jenni asked in refference to the resturant we were in.
"I was walking around a week ago and found it. Its nice but quiet," I smiled.
"Well, I like it," she stated, a grin spreading across her face.
"I'm glad. I thought you would," I said. "And I we are the best looking couple for miles around."
"I already knew that. It doesn't matter where we go!" she giggled.
"I know, but its mainly me," I stated, jokingly.
"Oh no you didn't," she said. "Don't even go there with me," she continued, trying to keep a straight face.
"Oh but I did," I replied, smirking. "Whatcha gonna do?"
She sat there thinking for a moment and then looked at me "I'll make you bay for dinner," she stated.
"I was already paying dinner, anyway," I replied dismissing her idea of revenge.
"Fine then, I'll break all you're mirrors," she gave an evil smirk.
"You wouldn't..." I said looking at her.
"Oh I would," she challenged.
"Wait, what were we arguing about again?" I asked.
"I don't know, but you're funny when you're scared," Jenni giggled.
"Uh huh, sure," I replied. "Check please," I asked the waitress.
"So where are we going after this?" Jenni asked at I paid.
"The movies," I smiled.
"Yay!" she cheered. I chuckled and hugged her close as we walked outside to the car. Everything if perfect for us.
*Harry's Pov.*
"Nikki? Where'd you go?" I asked, looking around the park for my girlfriend. "Nikki?" I heard a giggle and turned in its direction. I saw her small frame run away.
"You have to catch me, you know that right?" she asked.
"Yeah, I figured," I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. We were thinking of things to do so she had me drive to a park and now she was hiding from me. To be honest, it was scaring the crap out of me.
"You seem scared," she giggled.
"Yeah, cause I am," I muttered. Then I felt something jump on my back.
"HA!" she said. It caught me off gaurd and I ended up falling.
"Nicole Lynn!" I gasped.
"What?" she asked, humor in her voice. I looked at her face which was highlighted by the moon and street lights.
"You freaking scared me!" I gasped.
"Sorry, but it was funny," she laughed. "You should have seen your face. It was one of a kind."
"Really?" I laughed.
"Yeah," she smiled as she looked into my eyes. I stared into her light blue ones. They sparkled in the dim light and were absolutely breath taking. I know she and I have been together for a while but she still gives me butterflies and makes me nervous. I never thought that I would feel like this about a girl but Nikki proved me wrong, and I'm glad she did.
"What?" she asked, snapping out of my thoughts.
"Oh, nothing. Just thinking about how much I love you," I stated. I couldn't see her entirely but I could tell she was bright red.
"I love you, too," she replied. I leaned my head up and kissed her. As always, the fireworks went off and the sparks flew. More so than they did the first time we kissed. Its like everytime it gets better.
When we pulled apart, we stared at each other for a little then she giggled again.
"What?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.
"We need to talk about your fears beacuase I think your biggets is the dark," she stated.
"No it isn't!" I shouted. "Clowns are my biggest fear," I stated in all dignity. I expected her to fell sorry for me because of her veiw on clowns but instead she burst out laughing.
"THE Harry Styles, the one who does boxing, has tons of tattoos and has been everywhere in the world is afraid of clowns?!" she asked.
"Well... yes," I admitted, my cheeks heating up.
"I can't believe this," she replied, still giggling. "So wait, when we went to the circus...?"
"I was scared out of my mind," I confirmed.
"Well, I'm glad you're manly enough to admitt it," she smiled.
"I know," I grinned.
"Cheeky aren't we?"
"Everyday, all day," I stated before she pecked my lips. "Mmm, I like that. Your lips taste like candy," I smiled.
"I know, I'm amazing," she giggled.
"That's why I love you," I chuckled, taking her small hands in my large ones.
"Good," she smiled.
*Kitkat's Pov.*
"Josh! Why can't you come home yet?" I asked as I skyped my boyfriend.
"My mom won't let me. She said I HAVE to vacation with my family at least once for the entire time," he stated with a sigh. "But I do miss you and everyone else."
"We miss you, too," I smiled.
"Curly haired Asians!" Felicia yelled to us, making hearts in the air.
"Don't you have a date tonight?" Josh asked.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't! The world may never know!" she replied skipping out of her room which is where I was skyping Josh.
"Is she high?" he asked. I giggled and sighed.
"See, that's why I miss you. You can always make me laugh," I said looking at him.
"Stop bringing that up. It makes me sad because it reminds me how long it is before I see you again," he frowned.
"I'm sorry! Just stating the truth," I giggled. His childish frown changed in an instant.
"As long as you're ok, I'm ok, ok?" he chuckled, flipping his hair out of his eyes.
"Ok!" I confirmed.
"Good! Now, I have to go. My mom is yelling at me to be social," he stated, obviously not wanting to go.
I gave a sad smiled, not wanting this to end, either. "Ok, I love you," I stated, as the smiled on my face became bigger.
"I love you, too," he grinned back. "Text you later, Kitty," he waved before disconnecting. I blushed at his nickname for me. I hated it but when he said it, I had no problem at all. I knew the other girls were all out with their boyfriends and this was suposed to be a little date for Josh and I but you see how that worked out. We only had like 15 minutes.
That reminds me, "Felicia?" I called.
"What?" she answered. I followed her voice and found her sitting on the couch, watching re-runs of her favorite show, 'Castle'.
"What are you doing here still? Don'tbyou have a date?" I asked.
"I guess. He hasn't shown up and I don't know if he will," she sighed. "Now hush, Castle is debating the existance of Bigfoot!" She waved at me dismissively and zoned back in on the tv screen. To say that fame has changed this girl would be a filthy lie.
"Jesus, you've seen this one like tons of times!" I said, throwing my hands up. "I'm so done with you! You know that, that one guy did it!"
"Shhhh!" she hushed. I rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone. I decided to text Justin who was more than happy to give us all his number.
To: Justin- Where r u? Fel is waiting...
From: Justin- I'm at the hotel but I'm too nervous to take her out.
To: Justin- Seriously? wow... well ur 1hr late. hurry it up
With in seconds of sending the text there was a knock on the door. I looked at Felicia but she was staring at the tv. Typical.
"I'll get it," I stated.
"Uh huh," she mumbled without looking up. I walked over to the door and opened it, expecting Justin.
"Its about time you showed-" I started but stopped mid sentence as I saw who it was.
Louis stood in the door, looking exhausted and upset.
"Is Felicia here?" he asked.
"Kitkat, who is it?" Fel asked, coming to the door. She tensed when she saw Lou.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I need to talk. Can later be now?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure," she replied. "Ler's go for a walk," she said, taking her jacket. "If Justin comes, tell him he's way too late and I'll see him tomorrow," she said, turning to me. I nodded and watched Felicia and Louis leave together.
Better text Justin. He missed his chance.
From: Justin- Where is she going? Is she leaving with louis?
To: Justin- she decided u werent coming i guess... they have something they need to tlk about i guess
From: Justin- oh...
About a minute after receiving the text I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and there stood Justin.
"Hey," he stated.
"What's up? I'd think you'd go back to your bus," I replied.
"Well," he started. "I fired my manager before he could finalize everything with my bus, so um, yeah," he said.
"Oh gosh, you need help. Come on and wait in hear while I talk to Laura. We'll see what she can do," I sighed as he stepped inside and waited. Geez, famous people.
*Felicia's Pov*
We were silent as we rode the elevator down to the lobby. Even once we made it out the doors, we didn't utter a word. We didn't need to either. The silence was pleasant, we liked being in eachother's company, as much as we would deny it.
"So," Louis shattered the silence after a while. I noticed him shove his hands in his pockets and I did the same, realizing it was abnormally cold out here.
"So?" I repeated.
"What happened to us?" he asked, before he stopped walking. Louis turned to look into my eyes. "There has never been a single quiet or awkward moment between us, ever! Then all of a sudden it happens everytime we speak," he said.
"Yeah, I know. I guess we're just really messed up right now," I replied.
"No kidding," he chuckled a little as we continued walking. "I never got to ask you, what's it feel like to have everyone know your name and who you are?" he asked, a smiled playing at his lips. I think that's the only the third time I've seen him smile since I got here.
"Oh my! I don't even know hwo you and the boys have done it for so long! I feel so bad because I have all these fans who know EVERYTHING about me but I don't have the opportunity to talk or meet with them," I stated with a sigh. "I makes me respect you and the boys way more that I did."
"Good! Maybe now you won't make fun of us so much," he smirked.
"You wish, Tomlinson," I giggled.
"Aw, c'mon, you're no fun!" he pouted.
"I'm lot's of fun!" I smiled. We were talking like we did before we were together. Like we did when we were best friends.
"You know, I missed this," Louis smiled.
"What?"
"This. Being able to talk and laugh with you. Going on these long late night walks," he grinned.
"Ok, now you made it sound all mushy," I giggled.
"I mean it," he said, stoping again, thins time putting his hands on my shoulders. "Just like I meant what I said at the venue earlier. I still love you and I don't to lose you," he stated, staring straight into my eyes.
"And I meant what I said there to. I just don't think I'm ready for a REAL relationship right now. There are still some things I have to figure out, I guess. I don't know, everythings different and changing so fast, I just-" I continued to ramble until I felt Louis' soft, warm lips, crash onto mine. After a few seconds I melted, literally. This is exactly what I had been missing, these moments that just scream, 'Shut up and kiss me'.
When we pulled apart for air, I stared up into his blue eyes. I have no clue what was going through my mind. It was racing a million miles an hour. That's when I noticed bright flashes of lights. Cameras.
I looked behind me and saw them. The paps were snapping pictures non-stop. Dammit! Laura is gonna murder me! I flashed Louis a worried look and he looked guilty.
"Felicia! Louis! Are you back together? What about Beiber?"
"Fel! Are you cheating on Justin!"
"What do you have to say?!"
I was shot a million questions and I felt light headed from all the camera flashes. Louis noticed something was wrong and he pulled me into his chest as if trying to sheild me from them, like he used to do when we were together.
"Don't you people have something better to do?! Can't you see that she can't take the flashes?!" he shouted at them. They didn't back off at all. They didn't even flinch.
I was starting to feel a little better but I was still a little dizzy. Maybe I shouldn't have skipped breakfast and lunch. After a while, Louis was able to pull me away from the paparazzi and inside somewhere.
"Are you ok?" he asked pulling away from me to look at me. Concern filled his features and fell from his words. "Your face looks really pale."
"I-I'm fine. I just need some sleep, that's all," I said trying to be convincing.
"Are you sure its not food you need?" he asked.
"I've eaten today," I lied.
"I'm not buying it. Felicia, did you stop eating again?" he continued.
"Maybe, what does it matter? I really need to lose a pound or two anyway," I mumbled. All Louis did was sigh and rest his hands on his hips.
"C'mon, let's get you something to eat," he said.
"How are we exactly getting out of here?" I asked, suddenly feeling really tired.
"Through the back," he smirked, grabbing my hand and guiding me through the empty building we had found our way into. Once we made it out, we ran and ran and ran until we were sure we hadn't been followed.
"So, where to, your highness," Lou chuckled with a small bow.
"Hmmm, McDonalds?" I asked.
"As you wish," he smiled as we walked to the closest one we could find. After ordering and getting our food, we sat down and waited in silence for someone to ask the question neither one of us wanted to ask.
"Oh, this is rediculous!" I sighed. "We can't pretend what happened back there never happened. You know that, so what happens now?" I asked. Louis just sucked in his breath and tried to avoid looking at me.
"I don't know. We get chewed out by our management because of the pictures the paps took?" he stated.
"You know very well I'm not talking about those pictures," I said.
"I don't know! What do you want me to say?! That I didn't mean it? That it means nothing?" he asked, raising his voice slightly. Thank God, we were alone other than the staff.
"Well you sure hell can't keep kissing me as a spur of the moment reflex! It doesn't work!" I shouted.
"Well, maybe that's all it was, a spur of the moment and nothing more," he stated.
"Fine then, I guess we're done here, right?" I asked.
"Yeah, I guess so," he replied.
"Fine," I stated, looking at him. He turned from me, avoiding my eyes. I got up and walked outside before hailing a cab. The driver took me to the hotel. I think I'm done in London, its time for another stop on my tour. After, I'm not sure I'm welcome here anymore. Maybe by the time those pictures hit tabloids I won't have fans, or a record label...
I'm truely done.
I layed down on my bed, ignoring questions from my friends and Laura. All I want is sleep. I want to sleep and never wake up. But knowing my luck, I will.
I sighed and shut off my light and fell into a deep sleep.
Louis changed.
He's not him.
He lied. He doesn't love me like he said still did. Like I still love him.
Damn, nothing ever works out, does it?
