Lennox’s POV
Tonight the girls and I were just having a girls’ night while the boys were out doing a job that they didn’t need us for. We were all sitting in my living room watching some reality TV show and chatting it up a bit. Kim was telling us a story about what happened between her and Liam since they hadn’t really talked in a few days.

“He told you, you were like anti-boy spray,” I exclaimed after Kim had told us the story that happened a couple of nights ago at Liam’s flat.

“Yeah,” Kim said, “So now I have a date with Michael.”

“Michael as in. . .” Saige started.

“The one I had a fling with,” she said and I just laughed.

“Oh Liam’s going to be pissed,” I said, “He did not like Michael at all.”

“How do you know that?” Rachel asked.

“Because Harry told me,” I said shrugging my shoulders.

“Does Harry tell you everything?” Lena asked and I shrugged my shoulders.

“Probably more than he plays off,” I said, “but he doesn’t tell me everything.”

“Can I ask a question then?” Rachel asked and we all looked at her, “Are you all dating the boys or something? I know that Kim isn’t dating anyone of them.”

“I’m dating Zayn,” Lena said smiling at her.

“I’m Liam’s best friend,” Kim said, “but it depends on the day with that boy.”

“I’m Niall’s best friend and I have a boyfriend named James,” Saige said and she smiled at Rachel.

“And Harry and I are just really good friends,” I said, “And Louis is single.”

“He is,” Rachel said a bit shocked and I knew that famous look.

Rachel always had that hopeful Look in her eyes when she saw an opportunity to try and help someone out. She had that look with all of her past boyfriends and I didn’t want her to get hurt like Louis had done to all the other girls he had strung along.

“Oh no way Rach,” I said, “I know you came out here to be free from mom and dad and all but Louis is not the guy to do it with.”

“Sadly we have to agree with Lennox on this one Rachel,” Kim said, “Louis is one of the biggest players I’ve ever met. He sleeps with everything that allows him to and then he leaves them like he’s never met them.”

I saw Rachel’s eyes widened and I gave her a confused look.

“He wasn’t like that when he came here earlier this afternoon,” she said and I took a deep breath to try and calm myself down, “He was really sweet. He helped me unpack and then we had lunch and then he had to leave.”

“Maybe he is acting different Lennie,” Saige said as the girls were all watching at my reaction.

“I still don’t trust him,” I replied being honest, “look Rachel I can’t keep you from getting to know Louis but all I want you to do is to be cautious and I want you to come tell me if he hurts you in any way. Whether it’s emotional or physical and I’ll fix it okay?”

Rachel then just smiled lightly at me and nodded her head.

“Thanks for being truthful with me girls,” she said, “I really appreciate it.”

“Anytime Rachel,” Lena smiled and then turned to look at me, “Now I heard from Zayn that you have another boy in your life as well.”

“What?” I asked.

“I heard you got asked by Jay Brunningham to go on a date with him and you turned him down,” Lena smirked at me.

“Well he told me I was going on a date with him,” I said, “Like I wanted to go out then.”

All the girls laughed and Rachel piped up.

“I bet Harry was pissed,” she said.

“He wasn’t pleased but what makes you say that?” I asked.

“Please,” Saige and Kim said at the same time.

“You two act like your dating all the time,” Lena added, “When we go out to the club you’re always sitting on his lap, he never lets you pay for anything when we go out, you hold hands sometimes and hell last night you were cuddling under the blanket that I thought something else was going on.”

“Lena!” I exclaimed throwing the nearest pillow at her as they all laughed at me.

“We’re serious Lennox,” Saige laughed, “Harry is so protective of you that its unreal. Why do you think lads are always so cautious around you? Harry always makes sure that no one is going to screw you over.”

Again I just rolled my eyes and shook my head.

“He doesn’t look at me like that,” I replied and before I could add more my phone started ringing.

All the talking stopped abruptly and I saw Harry’s name flash across the screen. I then quickly grabbed it and walked into the kitchen the girls hot on my heels.

“Harry?” I asked worriedly.

“Lennox,” I heard Louis’s voice.

“Lou what’s wrong?” I asked, “Why are you calling me off of Harry’s phone? Is someone hurt? Do you need to come here?”

“It’s Harry,” Louis said, “He was shot in the shoulder. We’re on the way now. . .”

I didn’t even respond and I hung up.

“Lennox what’s wrong?” Rachel asked and I just ignored her.

“We have a code red,” I said and the girls quickly turned serious.

The girls then went to go get the things I would need to do god knows what on Harry. While they
were doing that I turned to look at Rachel and closed my eyes and pinched the bridge of my nose. I opened them to see Rachel looking at me worriedly.

“You are about to see things I’ve never wanted you to see Rachel,” I said, “And I’m going to need you to stay calm. When I said the boys are in a pretty well known gang, it’s well known enough for them to get shot at.”

“Lennox!” Rachel exclaimed and I shook my head.

“Rachel I need you to be cool for the next few hours alright,” I said, “Then I will answer whatever questions you have. I just have five minutes until the boys get here. . .”

“They just pulled up!” Lena exclaimed and I quickly moved into the kitchen where the boys were already moving Harry onto my kitchen table.

“It’s in his shoulder,” Louis said as I quickly got to work.

“Jesus Christ,” I gasped as I saw that it was more than just one shot in Harry’s shoulder and he was groaning in pain.

“Get it out Lennox!” Harry groaned, “It fucking hurts.”

“You know what to do Zayn,” I said as we worked together at getting the bullets out of Harry’s shoulder and stitching up his shoulder.

I heard a gasp but I was too focused on Harry that I had no idea who made it and who took care of the problem. After about an hour of working on Harry, Zayn and I had gotten three bullet fragments out of his shoulder and it all stitched up and into my room for the night.

“You all owe me an explanation now,” Rachel said as soon as we all collapsed on my couch and we all looked at each other.

“Looks like I’m up,” Louis said and took the reins on this one.
