Papillon - HS

Chapter 6

Louis Tomlinson's POV:

Tonight was all about getting drunk and believe me, we got drunk.

Victoria left for the bathroom, leaving Ni and I alone on the dance floor with random people around us. Without saying a word, we both knew we no longer wanted to be there and left to find the bar. We ordered even more shots and drank them over there. A few fans offered to buy us drinks and we gladly accepted, taking a few pictures, here and there. Niall was scanning the room but I don't really know what he was looking for.

He then slapped my chest with his hand, pointing with his head at some girl and smirked at me, going over to talk to her. I laughed and hyped him up, pushing him to go to where she was. And so he went, tapping her lightly on the shoulder to get her attention. She laughed along to whatever his opening line was and she seemed interested in what he had to offer.

Of course she was, he was fucking Niall Horan. Even if we weren't in a band, Niall was quite attractive, not that he would ever hear me say that. He would never shut up about it. But it was true and he knew it, so he used his looks and confidence to get whatever the hell he wanted. I stayed at the bar, interested in whatever was going down. He grabbed the girl's hand, twirling her around, which gave him the perfect opportunity to glance up and down at her. I chuckled at his audacity and ordered another drink for myself.

Niall leaned in to whisper something, making her blush and nod. He placed his hand on her lower back and they began to walk back to the lounges we were once at. He looked back to catch my eye, winking. I shook my head and laughed, turning back to the bar. I wanted to fade in, not thrilled to be recognized by everyone. It was fucking exhausting getting mobbed whenever we went out publicly but we had been lucky, fans had not found us and acted crazy, yet. 

I gave Niall a few minutes before walking back to where he was. I looked for Victoria at the dance floor but couldn't find her anywhere. I guess she finished from being at the bathroom, I don't fucking know. I honestly don't know why we let her go alone, she can get lost or something. I left the bar, going to look after her. I walked all the way to where the women's bathroom was, not seeing her anywhere. A few people recognized me, I simply waved at them, not wanting to get sidetracked. 

I may be drunk but, fuck, I was aware of what was happening and there was no way in hell Victoria was getting hurt under my watch. I walked back to the lounges and saw Niall twirling the girl around, again. I pushed passed them and felt my jaw drop in shock when I saw Victoria passed out on the couch.

"Niall, what the fuck happened?!" I shouted at him, hitting him with my hand at his shoulder, forcing him to look back.

"I-I, I don't know" he stuttered, "fuck."

The girl peeked over both our shoulders as I crouched to remove Vic's hair out of her face. I shook her gently, trying to wake her up but her eyes were shut. 

"Fuck Niall," I said, looking back at him. I quickly took out my phone, "call the car, we're leaving, now!"

I opened my phone and texted the group chat, told them what had happened and told them we were on our way back to the hotel. 

"Done, they'll be here any minute," Niall said.  I nodded and noticed our check was already at the table. Without even having us tell her anything, the girl Niall was flirting with went to get a waiter. I took out whatever bills I had with me and threw them on the table, grabbed Vic's things and motioned Niall to help me carry her. 

He lifted her head and I scooped down to carry her. Once she was in my arms, we began to move quickly. "Thank you," I heard Niall tell the girl as he ran behind me.
