No Matter How Hard I Try (ON HOLD)

What does this mean for us?

One week later

~Taylor's POV~

The tour was officially over. Ever since we've been reunited, we've been inseparable. Well, you know what I mean.

We were all currently at Liam's flat, having dinner... Well, dinner as in sitting around on sofas' watching Louis and Harry play Just Dance 4.

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket. 

I sigh and pull it out wondering who's texting me.

'Eric <3'

Hey I'm coming over babe.

Ugh. I love Eric to death.

I replied, "I'm at Liam's house."

"Great, I'll be right over."

I sighed. "Guys, Liam, is it cool if Eric comes over for a bit?"

"The gay guy?" Niall questioned.

"Niall!" Kayla smacked him on the shoulder.

"Sorry," he mumbled, rubbing his shoulder.

"It's fine with me, Lor," Liam smiled.

The other boys nodded their heads in agreement.

"I just don't want you boys to make fun of him because he's a little bit on the flirty side." I said.

"I really want to meet this guy!" Kayla jumped up.

"Me too!" Perrie nodded in agreement.

"I don't really care, I just want some dinner," Jessica sighed.

That made everyone chuckle. Harry rolled his eyes at her and kissed her cheek.

"Ewww," Jessica whined playfully, rubbing her cheek from where Harry kissed it.

I felt my phone buzz on my leg.

'Eric <3'

Here, baby.

I giggled at his cuteness, walking to the front door to meet him.

I opened the door to find Eric walking up the steps, admiring the landscape that Liam has around the front of the house.

"Taylor!" He chimed.

I laughed and gave him a small hug.

I lead him to the front room where everyone is.

"Guys, this is Eric." I cheered happily.

"Helllo," Eric grinned kindly.

"Glad to meet you, Eric," Liam welcomed him.

Louis appeared from the hallway and abruptly stopped. His eyes widened staring at Eric. "It's... you." He said in a disgusted tone.

"Uh... Louis this is my friend--"

I was cut off by Louis. "Oh I know who he is."

"Well alright," I muttered, not wanting for him to explain how.

"You see, I was at the shopping center... getting something... And Eric began to, well, I guess you could say flirt."

"Louis, I don't want to hear this, I know how Eric is and--"

Louis cut me off once again. He turned to Eric and said, "I'm going to kindly tell you to fuck off, because I'm straight."

Eric looked appalled. His cheeks turned a bright red, embarrassed at Louis' comment. "Okay..." He muttered.
