Jillian's POV

I stared at Louis in pure confusion. His blue eyes stuck on Harry as he gave him a warning look. "Just stop, please." He silently spoke. I've never seen this side of him, the pleading one. "I'm tired of all this." He looked at Liam then at me. "Can we just forget this shit, I'm afraid this.." He pointed to his bruised up face, his eye swollen and his lip busted. "Might be worse the next time around. So yes I forgive you." He nodded at me.

"What?!" I heard Harry's loud yell that made me flinch. "You're fucking right?" Louis looked at Harry. His eyes sad and his eyebrows in a frown.

"Harry. If you care about me or this band at all you would let this go just as I did. This kind of thing is stupid. For fuck sake I hit a girl." He breathed out. "I never in my life thought that I would ever lay a hand on a woman, especially one that makes one of my best mates happy." He looked over to Liam who had a hard expression on his face. "I screwed up, I know. I blew up and I tried to take away the best thing in your life. I know how it would feel to have Eleanor taken away from me and I'd do the same as you did." He looked at me. "Fight." He nodded and Harry shook his head.

"You're a complete prat!" He shot out of the door startling me.

"Don't worry, he'll come around, he always does." Louis slightly smiled.

"You should tell him." Liam whispered.

"Tell him what?" I looked at him confused.

"Everything." I turned to look at Louis. "Louis, Can I tell you my story?"I hesitantly asked. He smiled his bruised lip and nodded to the chair next to his bed.

Here we go.

Minutes passed by hours as I told him everything. From my dad to me being homeless to loosing my mother. I had never been able to tell anyone anything, so every time I did I couldn't help but spill some tears. His face flashed with guiltiness, you didn't have to look at him for too long to notice it. I told him how I was feeling when I was trying to jump of a bridge and that's when he burst into tears. He couldn't handle it, and neither could I. I sat on Liam's Lap. His arms wrapped around me and my face in the crook of his neck. I couldn't help but shed some tears every time I had been reminded of my fucked up life. I knew I had let my guard down way to much but I didn't care. I had finally met a group of friends who are willing to listen and not run away. "You know, I'm really sorry." I shook my head at Louis's attempts of apologies.

"Like I said, I don't want your pity, the past is the past. I'm just happy that I have a present and I'm healthy." I gave him a smile smile.

"We should get going." Liam whispered into my ear. I nodded and got off of his lap. "We'll see you later Louis, I'm tired as hell." Liam chuckled before giving Louis a small hug. "Glad to have you back." He whispered a bit too loudly.

I sat on the couch in Liam's living room. He had been playing The Dark Knight, I had been paying attention to it while he was on the phone in the kitchen. "Hey babe?" I looked back at him. "Simon wants to meet with all of us, I'll be back in a bit, yeah?" I nodded as he came to give me a quick peck in the lips. I sat there watching the movie for what seemed to be half an hour before there was a knock at the door. I got up and moved my body towards the door. I swung it open just a bit and saw Zayn standing there.

"Hey." He smiled.

"Hi." I gave him one back.

"Is Liam in?" I moved to the side letting him in.

"I thought you guys had a meeting?" I asked confused. I shut the door behind him and looked at my phone. "Just got to the meeting, Niall says hi, smiley face." I read the text out loud.

"They must've let me out of it." Zayn shrugged. "What are you doing alone anyways? Thought Liam was by your side twenty four seven." He chuckled.

"Yeah." I smiled a bit. "Watch a movie with me?" He smiled before we both walked back into the living room.

Liam's POV

"Thanks for meeting me." I smiled at the curly haired girl.

"It's not a problem Liam, we are best friends." Danielle spoke.

"I just want to apologize for my bad favor I tried to ask for." I rubbed the back of my neck.

"It's not a problem." She smiled placing a hand on mine. "Forgive and forget." She gave me a thoothy smile. "So, how is Jillian?" I smiled at the thought of her but frowned as quickly. "What? Everything okay?" I nodded.

"I just, I had to lie to her about coming here." I sighed.

"Why?" Danielle asked quiet confused. And to be honest, I didn't know why I lied to her about it. I wasn't doing anything wrong, was I? My phone buzzed and I looked down at it. I put my index finger up signaling to Danielle to wait a bit.

Liam, what the hell is going on? Zayn and Niall are both here at your apartment and I called Louis, Harry's with him... Where are you? -Jillian.

I frowned and locked my phone not replying. I had no right to lie to her, what was wrong with me.

"You know Liam, you're a good guy. Jillian's really lucky to have you." She placed her hand on my cheek and stroked it. And then, I heard a click from a camera.
