You're My Brother?

Chapter 14

"Where the hell did they get these?" I asked as I scrolled through the  pictures that were posted on the gossip website. 

"I am so sorry Emma, I thought I had lost them blocks before I got to Starbucks, but they must have been following us all day," He looked genuinely sorry. 

"I didn't even see anyone with a camera," I said my eyes still glued at the story.

"I swear I'm going to fix this Emma, I just have to figure out how," he patted my leg while staring at the carpet. "I have to go run an idea by someone, I just thought you should find this all out from me," he said before rushing back towards the door. 

"Louis," I called out and he quickly stopped and looked back at me. "Your computer?" I held it up. He nodded and headed back my way.

"Thanks, I'll call you later," and then he was out the door. 

"Can I come out of here now?" Niall whispered. I waited for the door down stairs to close before speaking.

"Yes, Niall you can now come out of the closet," I tried to make a joke but failing. The pictures of me and Louis still in my mind.

"What's going on?" He sat down next to me.

I brought back up my computer and opened up the website that Louis and I were just looking at. Niall grabbed the laptop and looked trough the article. 

"There are some good pictures here," he smiled at me. 

"Shut up," I pushed his shoulder and my cheeks got warm. "Is this bad?" 

"Nah, we can handle it, but now you are in the public eye," he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"What does that mean? Sorry but I've never been in this situation before, not many people have," my head fell over onto his arm.

"It means we can take care of it. It also might mean many dates sitting at home doing stuff," he pulled me in closer.

"I think that actually sounds great," I smiled back at him. 

"What will Eleanor think?" I slightly pulled away from him to ask.

"I'm sure Lou will explain everything, there is nothing to worry about," he pulled me back towards him. "How do you know her name?" he slightly pushed me back. My eyes widening at the question.

"Louis and I talked about her during coffee," I said quickly. It was true, we did talk about her, but I really found her name from the two day stalking of One Direction I did. I know more things about the boys then I ever should have known.

"Well don't worry about anything," he pulled me in closer again.

"What are you doing?" Niall asked walking back into my room.

"Just watching some t.v.," I smiled at him

"What are you watching?" he plopped down on the bed next to me and grabbed a hand full of the chips.

"E! News, I would normally roll my eyes and change the channel, but it's the only thing that I recognise" I laughed as I watched him throw a chip in the air and try to catch it, most of the time failing and having to pick it up off his stomach. 

The sound of his phone buzzing distracted him enough for me to snatch a chip off his shirt.

"Sorry babe I have to go," Niall sighed dropping his phone on the bed.

"What's up?" I sat up.

"Louis wants us all to meet up to run a plan by us, he just texted me," he said slipping on his shoes.

"Oh have fun with that," I laughed just imagining what idea's Louis could have come up with.

"I think I will," he leaned across the bed and planted our lips together.

"Do you want me to come over tonight?" he asked while walking backwards towards the door. 

"Sure, I'll call you when were done with dinner, unless you want to come over to eat as well," he had actually been spending a lot of time over at the house and my Mom was starting to like him. 

"I'll let you guys have a family dinner all to yourselves for once, but I will see you after," he stopped at the door with his hand resting on the handle.

"Alright, well have fun with this meeting. I'll make sure we have left overs for when you come over," I smiled at him pulling my knees into my chest. 

"I will see you later, Love," he laughed and walked out the door.

I took a deep breath and listened for the front door to shut, suddenly feeling so alone. 

"Is Louis Tomlinson seeing another girl?" the girl on T.V. asked breaking me out of my own thoughts. "We will answer that question on So True So False after the break," she smiled at the camera and a commercial started playing.

"Boo," I threw my chip at the screen and frowned. "How the hell do they already know about it?" I asked myself out loud. The pictures were just taken earlier today. 

I was interrupted from my thought when a steady guitar riff started playing from my phone.

"Hello?" I answered, already knowing who was on the other end.

"What the hell?" Rayne whisper screamed at me.

"What, what the hell?" I asked muting the volume on the T.V.

"Your picture is all over the Internet," she stated in a hurried tone, meaning she was freaking out.

"What's it saying?" I asked my mind already mentally planned as to what awful things people could be saying, at least I hope it is. 

"That you were seen out with Louis," she said, but I could tell she was holding out on me.

"What else?" she was silent. "Alright I'll look it up," I rustled my hand in the chip bag.

"No," she screamed and let out a frustrated breath. "His fan's are furious at you, well some of them," she gave in.

"Why?" I asked although I already knew the answer, they thought I was the other woman.

"They think you split up Louis and his girl and are calling you a home wrecker, plus some other things I really don't understand, like who's Larry?" 

"Who?" I asked but before I could continue the blond came back on the screen. "Oh ssh," I un-muted it.

"I wasn't even talking," she said.

"Well you just did so ssh. E news is talking about it."

"Oh well turn it up I wanna hear," she said eagerly making me laugh. 

"Is One Direction's Louis Tomlinson cheating? This one we're not so sure about. He was seen out earlier today with a new gal, but his rep's have yet to make a statement. Directioners, although have made their opinions clear," and with that they changed to another person.

"What the crap? That's it?" I asked shutting off the T.V. in frustration. 

"Well at least they didn't say it was so true, how awkward would that be? Dating your step-brother?" Rayne asked with a laugh in her voice. 

"Ew," I laughed as well. "It would be like a bad soap opera."

"That it would," she chuckled.

"Rayne, come on I got the truck," I heard Bryan's muffled voice followed by a groan from her.

"I gotta go, Bryan and I are loading up all my crap to go back to Cali," she sighed.

"Have fun, Hun and tell Bryan to not go to crazy while driving you out there," I said before we hung up. 

Rayne and Bryan were taking a cross country drive to take her to school, with a short stop in Austin to drop off Rebeka and all of her belongings. All of my friends where off going to college, while I was in London doing little to nothing. I really need to work on that.
