Little Me

We walked back on the bus. Tense air consumed us.

"Way to be an attention whore." Eleanor seethed. I glared at the floor.

"Louis, keep your bitch at bay if you expect me to be neutral." I snapped sitting back by Liam. He rested a hand on my knee, I relaxed immediately. I rested my head on his shoulder again. Nobody gave us weird looks. I was upset and they knew it. He was just being comforting.


The rest of the night was lazy. We all sat, small talk all around. Except Harry and I.

I was the first to bed. I felt like the black sheep and I had to get away.

I was out in minutes.

The next morning the boys were up and getting ready to leave. I got out of bed, the other two were asleep.

"Mornin' sunshine." Niall greeted, high-fiving me. We aren't at the hug stage yet. Though, Zayn and I are. He pulled me in a bear hug, the faint smell of cigarettes and cologne filled my lungs.

The next was Liam, his hugs were gentle and sweet, yet strong and protective. He smelled like spear-mint and polo cologne. I loved it.

I didn't bother acknowledging Harry, at first. Zayn nudged me sending me a look.

"Hi Harry." I muttered.

He nodded at me. Zayn smiled.

Louis. We went in for one of our hugs, but we both felt too awkward. So it was a half hug.

"We'll work on it." I beamed. He nodded. Than playfully hit my shoulder. I smiled.

"There are extra eggs in the microwave, unless you're too good for them." Liam winked, as they picked their bags to go. Perrie tried hiding. TRIED. I flushed. The first morning I denied them. I nodded and made some as they were leaving.

Eleanor left to 'go hang out with friends' but we all know she was following Louis. Psycho.

"Feeling better today?" Perrie asked as I bit into my delicious eggs. Liam is the egg king.

"Yeah. I'm hurt yes, but I'm trying. Though, to be honest I'm not digging Eleanor or Harry." I admitted. She nodded.

"Harry, you will learn to love him. But Eleanor... Who knows. I've been around for some time and I still don't care for her." she laughed.

I understood. "I feel like she doesn't like me because of my history with Louis. I love him still. But I'm by no means a threat. I would never do anything to wreck his relationship. I love him too much for that." I sighed pushing my eggs away, no longer hungry.

"I get that you wont. But I wish I could say the same for Louis. He loves you it's evident. We noticed how much happier he has been, even though you two aren't together he's happy you're happy. It's just awkward." she smiled. I love this girl. she is such a good person and sure to become a best friend. On a bus full of boys and her being the only girl I can tolerate its bound to happen. I smiled at the thought.

"So Kassi.." she started. I instantly felt guilty for some reason.

"What..." I asked slowly.

"You fancy Liam, eh?" She giggled. I turned red. My face betrayed me. I'd die trying to deny it though

"No. I mean, sure he is fit. They all are but no. I fancy Louis and only Louis." I said looking at my phone, 'suddenly' interested.

"I Fucking knew it" Eleanors voice rang throughout the bus. I shut my eyes, hoping this was a dream, well, nightmare.

"You're trying to get him back, well guess what BITCH, he is mine and I love him." she seethed storming up to us. I opened my eyes. She was in my face.

"I loved him longer and our bond is stronger. But I'm not going to try to ruin your precious relationship." I lamely replied.

And before I knew it SLAM.

The bitch punched me in the jaw. My head flew back in to the seat. My eyes instantly started watering. That hurt. My jaw made a crunch.

Perrie hopped up and yanked her back by her hair and slammed her head into the table.

She's a badass. Eleanors nose started to bleed. She got up and ran out crying. We went to the bathroom and she aided my swollen jaw.

This would be fun to explain to the boys.
