The City Of Love

Rachel's P.O.V.

Esmie decided to stay with Liam in the boys room.

The room had calmed down slightly but everyone was still in shock from Naomi's revelation.

The fact that Naomi was adopted was a complete bombshell for all of us.

The other boys had left shortly, to let us all process.

Lia and Naomi were obviously still discussing the situation, while I was now standing alone.

I scanned the room quickly, unsure of what to do until my eyes landed on Louis, talking to Harry.

I marched over to them quickly.

"Harry, can I have a minute alone with Louis?" I asked as calmly as I could manage.

Harry nodded quickly.

"Sure Rach, I need to talk to Naomi anyways" he told me, instantly heading for the other side of the room.

Once he was out of earshot, I turned to face Louis.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I whisper-yelled, not wanting to cause a scene.

"Look, Rachel I-" he started but I cut him off.

"Seriously Louis! You were horrible to Naomi for no reason at all!" I continued.

He folded his arms.

"Well little miss perfect, I wasn't the one throwing myself at some stranger I just met!" He retorted quickly.

"What are you talking about?!"

He rolled his eyes.

"Please! You were all over that Finn guy" he explained.

"Are you actually being serious? I was having a conversation with the guy for god sake! Why are you being such an asshole al of a sudden?" I was getting really angry at him at this point.

"You know what, I don't have to listen to this! Im going back to my room. Have a good night!" He yelled, suddenly grabbing the attention of the room .

Before I had a chance to respond, he had stalked off, leaving the room.

I felt my stomach drop when I realised what had just happened.

I had never fought with Louis befote. We always got along so well.

"Hey, are you okay?" Lena whispered, snapping me back to reality.

I nodded.

"Yeah, I think im gonna go get ready for bed" I replied quickly, grabbing my case from the bed and heading into the bath room.

I took a long time, brushing my teeth, getting changed into my pyjamas and plaiting myhair to avoid it getting knotty.

By the time I came out of the bathroom, all the boys had left the room.

"You alright? You were in there for ages" Lia asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Besides, it's Naomi I'm worried about" I lowered my voice so that Naomi couldn'thear from where she had now occupied the bathroom.

"I know.. It's crazy" Lia mumbled in response.

"Oh and hey, don't worry about Louis. He'll be feeling bad about this whole situation in the morning. Trust me" she yawned as she spoke.

I nodded.

"Thanks" I replied.

I didnt want to bring up Niall to her so I just left it.

As I lay in bed I started thinking about the morning. It was going to be awful. I hated the idea of not talking to Louis, but I was so mad at him for being horrible.

We were climbing the Arc de Triomphe. I had looked it up online. You had to go up a spiraling staircase and couldnt stop for even a minute because theres no room for people to get past you.

It seemes really high. I was pretty nervous about doing it. I was going to go in front of Louis so he could encourage me to keep going but I guess that wasn't going to happen. Guess I'd have to handle it myself.
