Crystal Crown

"SO. Sapphire." Harry slaps his hands together as I push around eggs with my fork.
"Why aren't you eating?"
"I'm not hungry," I lie.
Louis's eyebrows lift in surprise.

"I'm not lying," I breathe as I see them stare at me.
"Uh-huh."
Do they believe me?

Suddenly, my jean pockets starts to vibrate, breaking the silence.
"Give me a second. Someone's calling me." I recall and whip out my phone, going into another room.

*LOUIS'S POV*
Why wasn't she eating?
Why is she hiding?
Is Crystal okay?

"I'm following her," I point out and Niall nods with a face full of food.
"Why?"
"Did you even see her?" I demand.
Harry chuckles. "I sense something going on, Lou."
"Yeah? Like what?" I cross my arms.
"A crush." Zayn finishes. "Enough said."

"Whatever, fuck that." I roll my eyes and leave their smirking expressions at the table.
So I helped her. It's nothing really.

Just a sign of friendship. That's it.
It's not like I'm tearing my hair out to know her secret or something, it's not that..

"Hello?" I hear her voice answer in the bathroom.
"Who is this?"
I silently peek through the door.

"D-Da-Dad?" Her voice trembles.
"How did you get my number?"

"No- N-no I - I just -" Her face turns as white as a sheet and all the color has drained out of her lips. Her pupils dilate and she's shaking like a leaf.
It's just her dad. What's the big deal?

"P- I can't - " She stammers.
"I-I'm sorry.. please don't hurt them.."
"Please don't hurt them dad!" She pleads into the phone.
Who's them? The guys and I?

"They're harmless! They don't even help me!" She whimpered.

"Okay! Okay I'll be there! Just please don't hurt me!"
