Over Again

I backed up into the bus and reached for the door. Matt reached forward but Zayn cut him off.

“Not a good idea.” Matt laughed.

“Oh come on. Kat and I are friends, aren’t we Kitty Kat?”

“Don’t call her that.” Harry yelled but Matt ignored him making me shake my head.

“Come on, what about the phone calls and those texts earlier?” The boys looked at me and I shook my head again frantically.

“No, I mean yeah he called me and there were texts but I never ever responded!”

“Katherina, you’re telling us this now?” I looked at Louis who looked awfully angry. I tried to catch his eye but he avoided my gaze.

“How are you even here?” My voice trailed off making Matt laugh again.

“My friend, Tom, has been keeping tabs.” Tom?

“Tom, the Wanted Tom?” I shook my head. How did they even, how could they do this? I shook my head and ran onto the bus. The boys stayed outside, holding their ground. Zayn didn’t know what to do, he knew that this guy had hurt Katherina one too many times now. Liam wasn’t fond of him but he was trying to be sensible about the whole thing. Niall was too shocked to really move from his spot next to Harry, however he was keeping an eye on him just in case he decided to do something irrational. Louis and Harry, well they were furious, not just at the fact that Matt was here but the fact that he had been following them and keeping tabs on Kat.

“I think it’s time for you to go, mate.” Liam and Matt were the same size, so Liam wasn’t afraid. Liam however isn’t who Matt had to worry about. Louis was livid, Matt had been harassing Kat for far too long. Louis was still pissed at him for laying a hand on Kat that night in Texas, he was pissed when he saw her take off with him after fucking him in the closet just ten minutes before. Louis hated this guy with a passion; he hated the fact that Kat had to walk back to the hotel with a messed up ankle. The worst of it though was the light in Kat’s eyes. It had dimmed since that night in Texas, he had saw underneath the black eye that she was hurt and she let the light go out, until she sang her heart out in Seattle. He saw it return and he could tell she was happy again, and Louis hated Matt for taking that away in the first place, granted he had strung Kat along for a while but not once had he ever laid his hand on her, he hurt her but he never hurt her physically.

“You need to go.” Harry spoke up. Harry wasn’t too happy either, his sister showed up to the hotel in bruises and tears streaming down her face all because of this prick and Harry was not having it.

“She’s got all of you wrapped around her pretty little finger.”

“Matt, you need to go. We already called security.” Paul had called for backup, who was standing there the whole time watching this go down.

“I mean you guys don’t even seem to notice, it’s sickening really.” Matt was dismissing everything the boys were saying and a crowd started to form.

“Man, besides you Harry, she must be giving a hell of blowjob. Do you guys each have your own day of the week? She’s a good lay huh? God, I remember being between her legs. She-“

“Shut the hell up!” Louis had now snapped and was charging toward Matt, along with Harry. However Liam grabbed Louis from the waist and pulled him back.

“Zayn, Niall! Get Harry!”

“Already on it, Liam!” This was too much heat for the band, if any of them took a swing Matt could sue.

“Louis, Lou! Focus, this is what he wants!” Liam was struggling to keep hold of Louis.

“Walk away, Louis! This is too much heat for you, for the band!” Right as Louis had slipped from Liam’s grip security came grabbing Matt by the arms.

“Escort him off the property for harassing Katherina Styles.” The three security guards nodded at Paul.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go peacefully. Tell the little lady, I said bye.” The five boys watched Matt walk away with a sickening smirk on his face. Harry ran a hand through his hair and kneeled on the ground, he was a family guy so anyone who threatened to hurt his family, especially his sister was someone Harry was not afraid to fight.

“We need to have a chat with your sister, Harry.” Harry looked up and took the hand Niall offered to him and was pulled up.

“Paul, we’ll be out in a while. When’s sound check?” Paul looked at Zayn and handed him a piece of paper.

“Your whole schedules on there, just make sure you’re there on time. Go deal with your family business.” That was the great thing about Paul, which is why they trusted him out of every one of the security guards more than anything. Paul understood and he never asked questions; Zayn nodded and followed the five boys onto the bus, they were in for a long talk.
x-x

I sat in the back room, on the couch. My knees tucked under my chin, eyes closed. I kept picturing that night, the slap he gave me. The kick he delivered, I felt it all again. I could feel Thor cuddle into my leg more, I had a major headache and I could feel it getting worse.
Thor’s ears perked up when he heard an opening of a bus door and then someone slam it. I knew they were on the bus only opening my eyes when I heard the front door open. Thor let out a small growl and then stopped when he noticed who it was. I looked up to see all members of One Direction standing in the door way.

“You going to explain to us what the hell just happened?” Louis still looked angry but he was the first to come sit next to me. Harry sat on the other side and then the rest of the boys took a seat throughout the room.

“Look, you all know I hooked up or almost hooked up with Tom at the club I think it was in Vegas, I had no idea that Tom and Matt were friends. I don’t even know how that would have worked because in all honesty Matt never mentioned it. Then I would get random texts and phone calls some from Tom, which one you were there for Louis and every now it was Matt. Earlier when we were asleep, I had gotten texts messages from a number I didn’t know and they just kept coming in, but I deleted them I don’t know how Matt would know that I was here though.” I looked around and none of them said anything.

“And you couldn’t tell us earlier?”

“What did you want me to say, Niall? You guys were already going through so much with Louis and I’s situation. I was trying to cover whatever it was, in order to keep One Direction out of it. Between the rumors and then Eleanor being here… Eleanor.” They looked at me.

“What about her?” I looked at Louis.

“She knows Tom, and she knew about Matt. What if she had something to do with it?” Louis scoffed, making me arch my eyebrow at him.

“I’m sorry is there something funny about your ex-girlfriend wanting to make your current girlfriend’s life hell?” He shook his head and cleared his throat.

“Eleanor is a lot of things, but she wouldn’t go out of her way to make alias with people from your past. I don’t think she had anything to do with it, honestly Kat.” I looked away unsure how to feel about Louis defending her.

“Look all I’m saying was Tom was quick to defend Eleanor back in the hotel room in Vegas. Why, I don’t know. But in all honesty, I blocked the numbers that have texted me, if it gets worse I’ll get a restraining order against him and Tom. I don’t want you guys getting too involved. Today was the extent of it and I thank you guys for standing up to him for me but not again okay?”

“How can you say that? You’re my sister, I’m always going to stand up for you.” I looked up at my brother who was now standing over me.

“Harry-“

“No, Kat! You can’t tell me how involved I can get. If they are harassing you, granted Matt already beat you and I didn’t go to the cops, but if they continue this believe me we’ll get the authorities involved. I am your brother Kat, and no one can tell me how involved or to stop worrying and trying to protect you, especially you.” I could feel the tears prick my eyes.

“And I am your boyfriend Kat. It’s my job to protect you. These are your friends; they’re going to be there for you, no matter what. You need to understand that, you need to understand that you have friends who care about you, family who cares about you, I care about you. But the next time something like this happens you tell us, you don’t hide it for months on end, okay?” I looked up at Louis and nodded.

“Thank you, you guys. All of you.” I looked at Niall, Liam and Zayn. Zayn was the only one who looked like he wasn’t there.

“Zayn, are you okay?” His eyes snapped up to meet mine and he shook his head.

“Yeah, I just can’t believe any of it.” He sent me a small smile but it didn’t reach his eyes. I continued to stare at him but he avoided my gaze.

“Alright, I hate to break this up but we need to go. We have sound check in ten minutes.” I nodded.

“Go ahead and go you guys, I’ll be there later. I might just work on some of my music.” The boys all nodded.

“Group hug!” I was yanked into the hug by Niall and was immediately met with the smell of five musky boys.

“Guys, go to your sound check. I can’t breathe!” I heard them laugh and then let go of me.

“We’ll see you later Kat!”

“Bye guys!” I went to go pick up Thor when I was pulled into someone’s embrace and was met with blue eyes staring into mine. I smiled already knowing.

“Hello, Mr. Tomlinson.”

“You know I’m here for you right?” I nodded and placed my hand on his jaw which he leaned into.

“It had nothing to do with you guys not being there for me or me not trusting you, I do. It just, I need to protect you guys. You’re all I have and in all honesty, I would rather deal with it then risk you guys getting hurt.” He nodded and leaned his forehead to mine. I looked up at him and smiled, making him rub his nose against mine.

“I could have killed him.” I shook my head.

“Don’t do that, you have too much to lose.”

“It wouldn’t have mattered; he put his hands on you.” I sighed.

“Yes, Louis. He did, but it’s in the past. By the way, what happened to him?” Louis was now playing with my hands and kissing the tip of each finger.

“Well, Paul escorted him off the property after Harry and I almost tackled him.” I pulled my hand away and smacked him lightly on the chest.

“What is wrong with you? You could have gotten in trouble.” He shrugged.

“I know but at the time nothing else mattered. I just kept picturing him and you, and how he left marks on you and not the good kind.” I laughed at the last part. He looked so serious and I sighed. I knew he was struggling with this now. I did the only thing I could think of and grabbed his face with both my hands lightly. He looked at me and I looked at him.

“Louis Tomlinson, you don’t need to worry. I am okay, yes that happened, yes it’s in the past. I’m sorry that he showed up today and caused this scene but you need to understand that he’s gone and I’ll be okay. Okay?” I kissed him softly and I felt him place his hands on my hips bringing me closer. He moaned lightly and pulled away with a small smile on his face.

“You need to promise me though that the next time something happens you’ll let me know.” I nodded my head as I threaded my fingers through his hair admiring how soft it was.

“I promise.” He looked at me one more time before crashing his lips against mine again. I smiled into the kiss and felt him nip at my bottom lip.
It took everything in me to pull away.

“You need to go to sound check and if we don’t stop I feel like I’ll jump you right here, right now.” He laughed but gave me one quick kiss before letting me go.

“I’ll be back after the show.” I nodded and watched him walk toward the door.

“Hey Kat?” I looked up at him.

“Are you coming to the show?” I shook my head, knowing I needed to finish the songs for Simon.

“No, probably not. I need to finish the songs for Simon and I think I’m going to call my mom and see how she is. I’ll be okay, I’m going to just chill with Loki and Thor.” Louis nodded.

“Be here when I get back.” I once again smiled. I felt ridiculous for smiling so damn much but when I was around Louis I couldn’t help it.

“Make sure you wind up coming back!” He nodded and sent me a smile then closed the door. I sighed and sat back down giving myself a minute. Thor climbed on top of me and licked my face making me laugh and put him lightly on the floor.

“I guess that’s a sign that I should get up and do some work.” I looked down at him on the floor and watched him waddle to the door. I laughed and walked over to open it, which he then sprinted out from. I made my way to the front of the bus, grabbing my notebook and computer from the bunk. I picked Thor up and put him on the other side of the gate we had put up for Loki and him.

Loki immediately greeted Thor with playful licks, which Thor didn’t know how to respond to. I checked the gate and locked the bus door just in case. I sat down on the couch, cross legged and stared at my notebook.
I had lyrics written down and I had music written as well, it was just finishing them

‘It’s gotta be this one. You don’t have to fake it you know I can take it. What if I told you your tears haven’t been ignored? Everything that was taken can be restored. Feel this, can you feel this? My heart beating out of my chest? Feel this, can you feel this, salvation on my breath. It’s gotta be just right, so empty, what if I told you that innocence is yours, the beauty you have now is brighter than before, before feel this, can you feel this? My heart beating out of my chest. Feel this, can you feel this? Salvation on my breath.’

I sighed knowing I needed to finish this song, along with the music. I tried singing the song in the tone and notes I wanted but certain parts felt off about it. So I sat there for the next three hours and constantly changed notes and lyrics around to where I felt that they were right.

x-x

After the three hours, it had started to get dark and I could hear the chants from the crowd. The concert was at an outside venue tonight and the boys hadn’t come back to the bus yet. I had finished one song already and decided to try finishing my second one; it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be. After 20 minutes of constantly changing the same note back and forth and then trying to sing it, I was exhausted. I threw the notebook on the floor, making Loki and Thor jump. I sighed and lay down on the couch.

“How the hell do your dad’s do this?” Loki, who was cuddled up with Thor looked up and wagged his tail.

“You wouldn’t know, you don’t even know what a bridge is.” There was a knock on the door making both dogs wake up. I got up and walked to the door peeking through the window to see who it was, since apparently people from my past were now popping up. I smiled when I saw Lux, Lou and Tom. I unlocked the door and let the three in.

“Kat!”

“Oh my goodness, come here Lux!” Lou handed Lux to me and I immediately brought her to the couch with Lou and Tom following me.

“Tom, please lock the door.” He gave me a strange look. I held Lux in my arms and started to play with her.

“What are you guys doing here, I mean not that I don’t love seeing my gorgeous God daughter here, but I would have figured you had to get the boys ready for the show and you were going to watch them.” Lou sat across from me as Tom sat at the kitchen table.

“No, I just got done getting them ready and they were going to go on in a bit. Have you been alone since sound check?” I was making faces at Lux who was laughing at me.

“Yeah, I needed to finish some songs.”

“Oh that’s right. For Simon, how is that going?” I shrugged as I put Lux down to go play with Thor and Loki.

“It’s good. I finally finished one of my songs and I’m hoping he likes it.” Lou leaned forward on her knees.

“Let us here it?” I was taken back. I wasn’t ready.

“I don’t think so-“

“Come on, Kat. If you’re not ready and can’t sing to us then how are you going to perform in front of Simon, who is the one who is holding your future in his hands?” I glared at Tom.

“Please Kat. We really want to hear it.” I sighed, I did trust both Tom and Lou. They were some of my best friends and I’m pretty sure they could help me make it better if they though it needed changes. Sighing once more, I grabbed the notebook from the floor.

“Fine, but like I said it’s not really finished. It still needs touching up-“

“Just sing.” Tom had gotten up from the table and grabbed Lux who grabbed Thor, and sat down next to Lou. I opened the notebook to the pages I was working on and crossed my legs. I started to bounce my leg to the beat I wanted the song to go to. I closed my eyes and hummed the first tune and then started to sing softly.


“It’s gotta be this one. Don’t have to fake it, You know I can take it. What if I told you, your tears haven’t been ignored and everything that is taken can be restored.”
I know it sounded funny considering there was no beat or instruments to go with it.

“Feel this, can you feel this? My heart beating out of my chest. Feel this, can you feel this salvation under my breath.” Lou had a small smile on her face so I continued.
“It’s gotta be disguised, soul and spirit, chords and lyrics. What if I told you that innocence is yours and the beauty you have now is bright than before, before.”

“Feel this, can you feel this. My heart beating out of my chest? Feel this, can you feel this salvation under my breath. Let go, let go and believe. Let go, let go and believe, let go, let go and believe, let go.” I sang the chorus one more time and held the last note, ending it softly. I looked up to the faces of Lou and Tom and both had a smile on their face and adoration in their eyes.

“That was-“

“Amazing, Kat.” I smiled at both of them.

“I mean of course it’ll sound better with music but this was really good for being your finished product. Those lyrics, the way you sang them, the softness of your voice, it all went so well with the song.”

“Thanks Tom.”

“Seriously, Simon’s going to love it. I mean he signed those five goof balls out there, you’ll be okay.” I smiled, feeling a little more confident about the song.

“Well thank you, but you never really answered my question.”

“What question?” Lux was now climbing onto Lou’s lap to play with her earrings.

“Oh, well we just came to see how you were. We actually saw what had happened earlier with that creep.”

“Matt. Yeah, that’s kind of a long story.” I really didn’t know if they wanted to hear the whole story or not.

“We have about two hours, considering the boys just started performing. Go.” I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. For the next two hours I sat with them and told them everything from Louis, to Eleanor, to Matt, to Tom and where we all were now.

“Shut up!”

“Lou!”

“I’m sorry! I just can’t believe you and Louis! You guys are hiding it so well.” I nodded.

“The only time we show affection is on the bus, any time outside we’re very careful. We’re trying not to create too much heat for One Direction.” Tom hadn’t said anything yet and it was making me nervous.

“Oh my God, when are you guys planning to tell everyone?” I shrugged as I helped Lux win a game on my phone. She was in my lap playing with my phone, she would laugh every time there was a certain sound made, which made me smile down at her.

“I don’t know. Louis and I haven’t set an exact date, but we’re thinking sometime when the tour is over.”

“But that’s a whole month away.” I looked at Tom, he looked upset.

“Yeah, but we’ve gotten this far.” He sighed.

“I’m sorry Katherina, I just think that you guys shouldn’t have to hide it for the band. I understand that you want them to be safe and you don’t want anything to happen. But it just seems like you’re living your life and adjusting it around for them. You’re not living life on your terms, you’re living life on the bands.” I looked up at Tom. Lou and I had the same expression.

“Tom, that’s kind of selfish.”

“I don’t think so, Lou. Imagine us having to hide being together because the press will create even more rumors? Would you want to not be with me in public? Keep in mind Katherina has been waiting to be with this boy for a long time and now that she can be with him she has to hide it. I don’t think it’s fair to either of them. She’s putting her life on hold.” I stared at Tom, confused because a part of me knew he was right but a bigger part of me knew this is what I signed up for when I decided to come on this tour and decided to have a real relationship with Louis Tomlinson.

“Tom, I get what you’re saying but this is my life. I was forced to deal with this fame because I came on tour with them for work and somewhere along the way I got attached to all of you and even though I had the chance to go home, I stayed. Have a relationship with Louis, yes it’s hard especially because we can’t be open about it but like I said before, it’s what I signed up for. It’s my lifestyle now, and if I have to put my life on hold just for my brother and my friends to be safe and happy then so be it.”

“But you act like those rumors won’t die down. Eventually they will,”

“And you also know that the press and the fans and management never forget. Especially the fans and I don’t want them to lose a fan base just because Harry Style’s sister couldn’t keep it in her pants and Louis Tomlinson put himself in a shitty situation.” Tom was going to fire back when the bus door opened and that’s when we noticed the cheers getting louder outside. The boys were done with the show.

As we watched the boys walk onto the bus, sweaty and full of adrenaline, Tom looked at me.
“We’ll talk later.” I nodded. I loved Tom, he was like an older brother to me, and he always looked out for me since we met, but I don’t think he understood the full extent of the damage. I felt someone sit next to me and turned my attention to them. Louis smiled wide at me and crashed his lips with mine.

“Hello Love!” I laughed at how much energy he had. Harry saw us and ran over and landed in my lap. He shook his curls making me feel some water and I think some sweat land on me.

“Ew, you’re so gross.” He ignored my comment when he realized Lux was in the room. He got up off my lap and went to grab her from Lou. Louis draped his arm around me, Liam went to pick Loki up and Niall and Zayn were talking about the show. As I looked around the room, I continued to think about what Tom said. No matter how right he might have been, I also knew he didn’t understand and I didn’t blame him for that. But as I took in everyone’s smiles and laughs I knew that if keeping my life and my relationship hidden just to make them happy, and safe then I would do it because I knew my brother was in his prime right now. Despite what has happened, my brother has never been happier and who was I to ruin it all by making One Direction seem like liars.

“Alright guys, we got to go. The other bus is leaving and I need to put Lux to sleep.” Harry and Niall booed as Lou picked up her daughter.

“Bye guys,” The two waved and Lux blew a kiss at us making the rest of us laugh. The door closed and we could hear the buses packing up.

“Alright I think we should shower and then head in. I would like to wake up early tomorrow and actually go sight-seeing wherever our next stop is because we have the weekend off.” With that Liam threw his sweaty shirt at Niall and stalked off towards the shower. That’s how it went the next hour, we sat in the living room and each of them switched off when one got out of the shower. After they got out of the shower, they went to bed. The only people that were left were me and Niall.

“I can’t believe you waited until today to tell us about everything.” I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.

“Why?”

“Because I’m supposed to be your best friend, yet you didn’t tell me anything.”

“Niall, I did it to protect you.” I could see the annoyance on his face.

“Look Kat, I love you and I always will. But you need to open up to me about things. I thought we were past this part of our friendship.”

“We are Niall, we are. I just wanted to keep you guys safe.” He nodded.

“You know I’ll always have love for you right?” I smiled.

“Yeah, Love you too my Irish boy.” He smiled. We both looked up to see Louis coming out of the bunk area shirtless and sweat pants riding low on his hips. His hair was sticking up in different directions because of him towel drying it and he couldn’t look more delicious.

“Alright Niall, your turn.”

“Good night you guys.” Louis held his hand out to me as Niall passed us and went to shower.

“Shall we, my lady.” I looked at him and bit my lip.

“Oh, I think we shall.” I followed him into the bunk area and couldn’t help but stare at his figure. Yes, Louis had curves, but his bum was something to die for and his tummy, was one of the most attractive things about him. He was tan in all the right places and as my eyes trailed up and down his body, I realized he knew I was checking him out.

“See something you like love?” I rolled my eyes and grabbed my shorts and tank top from the suitcase. Louis had already crawled into the top bunk above Liam, who was already snoring. I climbed into the bunk and saw Louis laying down, with his eyes closed. The bus jolted to life making him open his eyes just as I was changing into my clothes.

“Well if I knew this was going to happen, I would have kept my eyes open.” I laughed and slid the shorts on my legs and went to lay down next to him. We turned the small light off in the bunk and I laid on my side staring at him.

“Hey,” I smiled and leaned over to kiss him, which took him by surprise but I could feel him smile in the kiss. As the kiss continued to get harsher and more heated, we heard the shower turn off. We continued to kiss but Louis decided to amp it up a bit. He had bit my bottom lip making me open my mouth and allow him access where our tongues tangled and his hands started to grip under my tank top a little bit harsher. He pulled away from my mouth and started to kiss down my jaw line, me now lying on top of him.

He got to where my shoulder and neck meet and bit down making me moan out .I quickly covered my mouth. He didn’t let up though and I could feel my body getting hot. He continued to bite and suck on that spot making sure he left his mark. I tangled my fingers in his hair and I slowly rocked my hips against him. I could feel his arousal already and we hadn’t even done anything, then again to be fair I was pretty sure I was already wet for him.
We heard the shower stop making me pull away. His hands stayed planted on my hips rubbing small circles on my skin.

“What’s wrong?” He whispered against my lips. I smiled and pointed to the curtain of the bunk.

“Niall is still awake.” Louis smiled.

“Well, if that’s all.” I then felt his fingers slip into the front of my shorts and press against the front of my now damp panties. I took in a sharp intake of breath and my back arched closer to him. We didn’t have much space in the bunk so we were kind of squished and he was barely sitting up but the way he was working his fingers against me, it didn’t matter.

“Louis, we should wait till he’s- Oh god.” He had started to rub the material over my clit making me moan out. I bit down on his neck and started to move my hips against his hand.

“That’s right Kat,” I was now a whimpering mess and he hadn’t even really made contact. I sighed, his voice was husky making the muscles in my abdomen clench.

“Louis, I need more. Please…” My voice trailed off as a whimper left mouth. My back arched again when he pushed past my panties and attached his mouth to the top of my breath the same time he slid two fingers in to me making me moan quite loudly. He continued to suck on my skin and started to move his fingers faster, while his thumb came into contact with my clit.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck. Yes…” I sighed out making my hips move harsher against him. I could feel his arousal through his sweat pants rubbing my thighs.

“Come on, baby. Come for me.” I let out another whimper and bit down on his neck when he curled his fingers against a special bundle of nerves making my thighs shake.

“Louis, oh my god. Right there, please, please, please.” I needed that release and I was so close to getting it as I gripped the sheets and bit down on his neck once more earning a grown from him. He continued to move his thumb against my clit until I felt it. My whole body tensed up, my thighs tightened around his and I felt myself clench harshly on his fingers. I was biting on my lip holding back the moans and whimpers as I came around his fingers and in my panties. As soon as my hips stopped bucking he pulled away from my chest and brought his lips to mine.

I was breathless by the time he was done, and I had a thin layer of sweat on my body. He pulled me in for another kiss as he slide his hand out of my bottoms.

“How was that for you?” I smiled against his lips.

“It was-“

“Finally you two are done. I can’t believe you!” We both looked over to where the curtain was pulled back and Niall was standing there.

“You’re lucky the rest of the boys are asleep because I don’t think Harry would be too fond of his sister getting some.”

“Niall get out!” He closed the curtain with an ‘okay, okay.’ A second later a pair of underwear was tossed into the bunk. Not just any underwear, my underwear.

“For Gods sake, Niall stop going through my girlfriend’s underwear!” We heard him laugh. I slide my now wet panties and shorts off and put them in my small duffle bag that was in the corner of the bunk on the small shelf. I then slid on the new pair of panties and turned around to face Louis.

“Thank you for that, I really did need that.” He smiled at me and kissed me one more time as I laid down next to him.

“I owe you,” He laughed, his blue eyes meeting mine.

“We’ll talk about that later. Right now you’re eyes are reading exhausted. Get some rest.” I nodded and curled up closer to him. His arm went around me and he kissed my forehead.“Niall’s right though. We’re lucky none of the other boys were awake.”

“Mmmm, good point. Goodnight, love.” I finally closed my eyes and let the exhaustion of the day take over me. I could feel Louis breathing eventually become steady and soon I had fallen asleep too.

What the two didn’t know was that besides Niall, there was another member of the band that hadn’t fallen asleep just yet. Zayn was staring up at the bunk above him. Thank god he didn’t have the bunk below the happy couple. He felt the sinking feeling in his stomach and his heart twist a little at the sound of her moaning out someone else’s name.

That was the night Zayn Malik realized he was falling for his best friend’s girl, worst part about it was he was one of the people who helped get them together and now his feelings were going to suffer, all he had to do was bury it, but how easy is it to bury something you don’t even full understand.

Zayn had been telling himself this whole time he’s protective of her because she’s his friend. He’s there for her because she was there for him through the Perrie break up. But Zayn knew it was more than that, it was more than just a friend being there for a friend. Zayn, was just upset that it took him this long to realize it and he had lost his chance, so he could do nothing but bury it.
