What did I do to deserve you?//L.R.H.

CHAPTER 45

-Lea's POV-

"Nash!" I exclaim and fall into his arms.

"Hey Le." he laughs at my outburst of happiness. "What's up?"

"Me what's up? You what's up!" I keep on yelling and Jason is forced to close the door behind us so people don't throw anything at us.

"I went to rehab, but I'm good now." his warm smile says it all. Despite everything he's been through, he still manages to laugh, he's not like me, he's stronger, so much stronger.

A thud coming from further in the house makes me turn to look at the two boys.

"You can come out now." Nash yells and my best friend lands in my arms in a matter of seconds.

"I thought you were in New York!" I exclaim again as Emily pulls away from the hug.

"I was, but then Nash found this apartment and we moved here." she shrugs.

"You're staying together?" I ask.

"All three of us." Jason says. "We came here again almost two weeks ago, when your boyfriend's band got to New York."

"Cool." I nod.

"Jason is thinking about stopping drugs." Nash slurs and Jason pushes him a bit.

"No I'm not." he shakes his head.

"Oh really? Because you were telling us other things last night." Emily laughs.

"Shut up, both of you." he looks at the guys and they laugh but don't say another word. "This isn't about me anymore." he looks at us and smiles. "It's about the group being back together. And I think that as a group that just got back, we should at least go for ice cream."

"Yeah!" Emily screams.

"Ice cream!" that came from Nash.

"Sure." I agree. "But only with one condition."

My three friends turn to look at me with a worried expression on their faces, like I'm gonna say something bad.

"Nash, you really need to change that beanie. You look like a homeless." I scrunch my nose and he laughs.

"Anything for the girl," he laughs and runs inside to his bedroom.

-Luke's POV-

"Is everyone ready? Calum asks happily. His excitement is obvious.

Sure, I'm excited too, but I'm kinda scared. I haven't talked to Lea since that cold phonecall when she practically said that I didn't care about her. I'm worried that she's going to want to end things and I love her too much to say goodbye.

"Yeah, we're just waiting for Michael to style his hair." Ashton calls out from the hotel room. "Come on you dork, get out of there already!" he pounds at the door and Michael says something I don't hear.

"Fine, I'm ready, for fuck's shake you guys." he grabs his suitcase from next to the door and runs to the elevator like a five-year-old kid that is afraid people will steal his lollipop.

"Come on you guys, get here already." he tries to mimick Ashton's voice but according to Louis, who has just come out of his room to tell us to shut up because he's trying to sleep although it's time to leave, he sounds like an old man who just died and was reborn as a zombie.

"Come on Louis, don't take all your anger out on the poor boy, let him be happy." Harry speaks and Louis huffs.

"He made you wear red lipstick, and you're still defending him?" he exclaims at Harry, who pushes his hair away from his forehead.

"And then you're wondering why people think you're married." that was Niall. "You're fighting like you have been married since the start of us."

"Did Louis finally proposed?" Liam asks smiling.

"Why would Louis propose?" Harry exclaims.

"Because he would surely be the one in a suit." Zayn gets out of his room, his suitcase following behind him, and his phone in his ear.

"Wha- Why would he be the guy in our relationship?" Harry asks offended.

"You mean is." Niall corects his bandmates.

"Because he is hot and you have a butterfly and a rose tattoo." Calum says and walks to the elevator to stand next to the red-haired boy.

"Get out of here." Harry pouts and crosses his arms in front of his chest.

"He discovered us, I think we should take his side." Ashton jokes and hugs Louis tightly, his previous fight with Michael long forgotten.

"Thank you Ash." Louis says in a girly voice and pecks Ashton's cheek.

"Oh, don't you worry Harold, I'll help you find a wedding dress that compliments your curves." Michael pats Harry's back but steps but a bit when the green-eyed man glares at him. "Or not?" he smiles a bit and runs behind Calum, who hugs him and whispers "It's okay"s to him.

"Why are you even in this band?" Zayn asks me and I shake my head.

"No idea." I mumble with a smile and head to the elevator, pulling Ashton away from Louis in the process.

"Hey, don't pull my shirt!" Ashton exclaims.

I forgot that he's got that thing with his pony T-shirt.

"Sorry." I murmur and he looks at me.

"Hey, I didn't mean it like that," he titles his head to the side.

"I know, it's not about that." I attempt to smile but I'm sure it looks pathetic.

"Oh." he says, instantly understanding the cause of my bad mood. "You're gonna get through this, I know it."

"Okay." I whisper and he firms his lips.
