Sophia's POV-
"Oh thank God Lottie." I pulled her into a tight hug and she started crying.

"I... I'm sorry. I'm not sure why I'm crying. I should be happy right? I'm just.. This is a lot to take in."

I smiled and wrapped her in the blanket, "Let's get you to bed, you have breakfast with your brother in like 5 hours." She nodded and headed off to one of the spare bedrooms.


I sat down next to Perrie and sighed, "I would hope the next time I saw you like this, it would be to explain yesterday."

She laughed and snuggled up next to me, "We are one big family of completely dysfunctional relationships. So now that we've gotten over one, let's talk about the other. What happened Soph."

I began picking at my split ends, the nervous habit I had when I was about to talk about something that stressed me out. "Well, I cheated on my boyfriend last night. With my bestfriend. I can't even try and defend my actions because I don't have any reasons. I was drunk and decided to try things with Nathan before I completely gave myself to Louis. I thought I was over it, but I wasn't. I came back to the hotel and he carried me to bed. I asked him where Emily was and he said she had been acting weird and thought she may have been cheating. I laughed at him, saying that if she's already being sketchy less than 6 weeks into it then maybe she wasn't the right girl. One thing led to another and he pretty much confessed his love to me. It was selfish. I don't know why I did it and it's clearly my fault. But apparently Louis had the same idea."

Perrie always knew the right thing to say, "Well I doubt she'll be getting many guys with the gash I gave her on her forehead."

I began laughing uncontrollably, "You hit her?!"

"Oh no no no darling, that's classless. I grabbed her by her hair and slammed her head into the bar top."

I poked the side of her face and smiled, genuinely, for the first time all day, "You crazy little bitch!"

She laughed and brought me back on topic, "okay okay.. so why did you tell Louis that you were choosing Nathan over him?"

I sighed, "Well.. I didn't want to see a brawl and cause more unnecessary drama so I made a decision. I knew he wouldn't leave unless he was more upset with me than him. I didn't know what to do.. I can't keep watching the people I love fight like that. It hurts Perrie."


I could feel the tears streaking down my cheeks and my best friend wiped them away. "It's okay Sophia. It'll get better I promise. Even if the getting better doesn't involve Lou, or Nathan, or us.. it'll be okay. You're a good person, you'll make it through this." I smiled and drifted off to sleep, hoping to forget all of the drama that has taken over my life..

Louis' POV-
I know it was late, or early, depending on your sleeping schedule. But, I needed to see her. I needed to yell. Tell her how badly she fucked up. Tell her that she broke my heart and apologize if I damaged hers.

I walked over to Zayn and Perrie's and opened the door quietly. It was barely 7 so I knew no one would be awake. I walked down the hall but the sight of Sophia on the couch stopped me. I sat down next to her and ran my fingers through her hair. "Sophie.. love wake up."

"huh? what?!" she shot up and rubbed her eyes, "Oh Louis it's you.. Hey."

I smiled and grabbed her hands, "Can we talk?"

She nodded, "Sure. Wait right now? It's like 6 am Lou."

"It's 7" I corrected.

She sighed, "Sure. We can talk. What's up?"

I took a deep breath and attempted to put all of my feelings into words, but of course standing right in front of her, nothing came out. "Louis.. maybe you're not ready to talk-"

I cut her off, "No, yes I am. I'm sick about this Sophia. I don't know why this happened the way it did. I don't know what to do. Do I forgive you? Do you forgive me? Do I let this go? I'm really not sure. But knowing that another man, who I by the way HATE, got the chance to sleep with you before anyone, INCLUDING ME, makes me absolutely sick. I can't blame you.. well I can,
but I don't want to. I don't know when everything got so complicated."

She sat up, intently listening to everything I was saying before responding, "Louis, it's always been complicated. Complicated is the name of the relationship here. It worked for us. We knew going into this that neither of us were the relationship type, we fight, scream, and ignore eachother constantly. But that's why we did it, because it's not supposed to be easy. We're supposed to work for it. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I'm sorry I said those things at the hotel. I didn't want to see anyone else get hurt on my behalf. It was selfish."

I smiled and grabbed her face, kissing her as hard as I could. But just as the perfect moment began, it was ended.

"Oh no Lou, this doesn't mean we're back together." She laughed. "This just means that we forgive eachother. I still think we're not meant to be together. But I don't want to leave things unsaid."

I groaned and fell back onto the couch. I looked over at the coffee table to see a small white.... pregnancy stick. "Sophia..." I said, attempting to stay calm.

"What?" She responded.

"What. Is. That." I said, pointing at the stick.

She curled up onto the couch and groaned, "Louis I can explain."

I stood up and screamed at her, "YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE PREGNANT?"

She looked like she was trying to find the words but I guess everyone heard my outburst because Perrie and Lottie were watching in the hallway.

"Lottie, go! This doesn't concern you", I screamed.

She walked over to the table and picked it up, "It's not hers Louis! It's mine! That's why I came here last night!"

I felt my entire face getting hot and I looked at Perrie and Sophia, who wouldn't make eye contact with me. "YOU'RE SIXTEEN LOTTIE. YOU SHOULDN'T BE HAVING SEX LET ALONE UNPROTECTED SEX. WHO ARE YOU HAVING SEX WITH?!"

I was fuming. My baby sister? Pregnant? No way. Harry walked in next, rubbing his eyes.

"It's 730 in the morning, what is everyone-" He saw the stick in Lottie's hand and his face fell, "Oh God... Lottie no.."

I looked at Lottie who wouldn't make eye contact at Harry, then at Sophia who looked as if she'd pieced the puzzle together.

"Wait, YOU?!" She screamed.

Him? What? Oh God. This is a joke. "Harry... please tell me there's an explanation for you and my sisters lack of eye contact."

He had tears in his eyes, "I'm so sorry Lou.."
