It was now the final stretch before everyone came home. 2 days until Louis and the boys are home, 2 days until Perrie comes home, 6 days until Connor was home, and 8 days until my brother and the other boys come home. As much as I loved having tons of free time and no responsibilities, I missed everyone. Especially Louis. I guess getting back together over skype is cheesy. But it's definitely necessary. As he put it, 'I need reassurance and you need boundaries'. Then of course, he gets all romantic and jets home for one night just to leave me again for another week. Typical Louis. When he realizes I'm fine without him he acts like worlds best boyfriend so when he leaves again, I'll miss him. And fuck him.. because it does work. And even though I hated to admit it, I couldn't wait to see him.

I had told Lottie earlier in the week that I would have lunch with her today. She was coming to London for the day so we could go shopping and spend quality time together. I had spoken to Louis about the Lottie/Harry situation and he made it pretty clear it was a conversation that was off limits. Apparently he and Harry haven't spoken since. They sit on opposite ends of the room whenever possible and don't speak unless forced to. I wasn't trying to get in the middle of anything but there wasn't any point in all three of them ignoring eachother. Lottie and Lou will always be siblings and whether Louis likes it or not, he and Harry will always be bestfriends.


"LOTTIE!" I squealed as she ran towards me and tackled me nearly to the ground. For 16 and 5'2, that girl was strong. "Sophia I'm so happy to see you! Shopping, let's go." She pulled me into the nearest store and we began to look around. "So you and Lou back together? Glad I found out on twitter." I held up a shirt and she rolled her eyes. "Okay I'm sorry! I honestly haven't spoken to anyone. I figured I'd tell you in person today."

She just nodded and went back into the zone with all the clothes around her. She had amazing style. She told me her dream was to go to Parsons School of Design in NYC. I knew if anyone had a future in fashion, it was Lottie. If only Harry wasn't on her mind 24/7 maybe that would work out.

"Let's talk about you!" I suggested.

"Uh okay. What about me?"

"Well, have you spoken to Harry?"

I saw the sly smile appear on her face, and I knew what was coming. She was about to try and lie to me.

"Eh, a little bit. Just some casual 'hey how are ya's."

I turned to her and rolled my eyes, "Don't lie to me."

She smiled, trying to cover her face with the clothes in hand, "Okay fine. So we've spoken. A lot. More then we ever did before the Louis incident. He's amazing! So sweet and supportive of my goals. He sent me links to tons of schools in London. Told me we could get an apartment together and whatnot if we were still together in a year."

I nearly gasped, "Moving in? Apartment? Lottie slow down there. You need to graduate highschool first!"

The teen angst I knew so well was showing on her face, "It's just talking! Calm down Sophia, you're acting like my mom."

I scoffed, "Your mom?! Well then! We will leave here and drink some wine like classy adults and I'll show you how un mom-like I am!"

She smiled and raised her eyebrows, "You're insane."

"You're the one wanting to shack up with Harry Styles."


Louis' POV:
We were all sitting around waiting for Simon to come in with the rest of our management team. I was sitting at one corner of the long conference table, while Harry sat on the adjacent end. I hadn't spoken to him much since the Lottie incident. But why would I? Sleeping with your best mates little sister? That makes him almost as bad as Nathan Sykes.

"So Lou.. How was your special date with Sophie?" Zayn asked. He had taken the two days off to go and see Perrie so he'd been behind.

"It was good. We're back together." I said profoundly, smirking.

"We know Louis. You don't shut up about it. Every hot girl we see, 'Yes she's hot, I'd shag her if I didn't have a GIRLFRIEND'. We get it, you're the worlds best housewife." Liam was grinning at his remark, knowing he was acting like a prick.

"Anyway Zayn, yeah it was great. Romantic dinner, champagne in the suite. You know, the usual."

He raised his eyebrows, "Did you finally deflower her? You know like-"

I cut him off, "No. I didn't. She said she's not ready."

"She told him that Nathan and her virginity were a drunken mistake and that it doesn't mean she wants to throw it at anyone who wants it. She wants it to be 'special'. Oh yeah, and it's not really deflowering, it's more like re-deflowering-" Niall added.

"THANK YOU NIALL. You can shut up now!" I said annoyed.

He smiled and crossed his arms, "Sorry mate."

"Oh really? So nothing physical going on between the two of you yet?" Liam asked.

As if it were any of their business. Somehow 'bro talk' has turned into a bunch of chicks gossiping. It was disgusting.

"We are physical. Just not like that… Yet." I said defensively.

Just then, Simon and his team walked in. Saved by the bell, thank God.

"Boys, hello. Let's get to it. We're begin to plan for the next tour and were thinking worldwide again. But this time, stadiums."

Everyones eyes went wide. I grinned at the thought. 65,000 plus people every night. Our last tour was amazing. But this would be an entire other level. This would be the end all be all of touring. As great as it gets.

"That sounds amazing!!" I said, trying to start the conversation out right.

"Louis wait a second… Are you all sure this is a good idea? I know we had discussed almost double the dates. So that's like 10 times as many tickets? Could we even swing that?" Liam reasoned.

"Of course we can Liam. Our record just hit number 1, we've won countless awards, the fans are as supportive as ever. We can totally take control of a stadium tour!" I said. Clearly I was annoyed at the doubt in everyones eyes.

"Louis can't even control his girlfriend." Harry mumbled.

"What was that?! Did I say you could speak?! Last time I checked, you're still on friendship probation." I spat.

Everyones eyes went wide and simon closed his folder, "What in the hell is going on with you two?! I ignored it when you didn't sit with each other at interviews, I ignored it when we got ONE group picture at the award show last week, but I will not ignore it now. So please, enlighten me what's going on and don't you dare tell me it has to do with that girl who's brother is in The Wanted."

I could feel my face getting hotter by the second, "Hold on a second! I thought everyone agreed that my being with Sophia was good publicity! That's why no one was giving me grief about having a girlfriend. Don't even tell me now she's 'That girl' because she's not."

Liam groaned and rested his head on the table. Zayn was laughing in the corner and I'm not sure Niall was processing everything fast enough to have an honest reaction.

"I'm going to ignore that. Harry, what is going on." Simon looked over at Harry and Harry shot his eyes over to me, looking for sympathy and help out of this situation. But he wasn't getting it, not from me at least.

"I.. um…" He began.

"HE WAS SLEEPING WITH MY LITTLE SISTER. FUCKING CREEP." I blurted out.

Simon face palmed and began rubbing his temples, something he had done only twice before. Once after our fight with The Wanted and once when an almost dick pic surfaced of Niall on instagram.

"Harry, please tell me that's not true." Simon pleaded.

"I'm sorry. I've apologized to Louis at least 100 times and I don't know what to do about it now." Harry said quietly.

That was my biggest problem with Harry, even when something was his fault, he ended up looking like the victim. Puppy dog eyes and flattery has gotten him out of every situation, but not this one. No no no. This time, he was going down for it.

"Apologizing to me doesn't change the fact that you slept with my underage sister multiple times and nearly got her pregnant! What if she had called one of her little friends and not Sophia? What if word got around? If the press heard about this, it would have been a feeding frenzy. Not only on you. But on me, and my family, and most importantly, LOTTIE. Have you ONCE thought about her in all of this?!" I screamed.

"THAT'S ENOUGH LOUIS!" Liam screamed.

"Back off Liam. I'll let you know when you're invited into this conversation, unless he slept with your sister too." I growled. Liam threw his hands up in defeat and retreated back to his seat .

Harry sighed, "Yes I've thought about her in-"

I cut him off, "No Harry. You haven't. You've ignored her. She's a human being. I would have gotten over this because I thought you were a good person. I would have thought you cared about her and it wasn't my place to intervene. Accidents happen. But you going back and treating her the way you have? Not okay. You may have thought I wanted you to pick me over her.. but she's the one who needed you. You should have been a man about this and you weren't. Instead you were a coward. You chose me because you were afraid of what would happen if you didn't. She deserves better than you. I'm sorry Harry but I don't feel bad for you right now. You did this to yourself."
I stood up from the table and looked around at everyone. Every single person was averting my eyes, except for Harry. I turned around to walk out of the door and simon called, "Louis we're not done here. Where are you going?"

"Back to London. To see my girlfriend and my little sister. They clearly need me much more then all of you."
