Do You Love Me (Liam Payne Arranged Marriage)

Chapter Twenty-Six (Edited)

***Louis's POV***

I'm just pacing in the hotel room thinking about why Harry would do this. He went to go ask Carly if she could set him up with her friend Abby. I know she won't go for it. She might actually kill him. He's stupid to actually think she would agree to it. When the door opens Harry walks in with a big smile on his face. I just glare at him and he keeps walking to the couch where Zayn and Niall are sitting.
    "So what did she say?" Niall asks stuffing his face with pizza.
    "Carly said no..."
    "I told you she would." I blurt out.
    "But I still went to Abby and took her out for ice cream." Harry smiles big.
    Niall drops the pizza out of his hands. I want to strangle Harry for pulling this stunt. "Why would you do that after Carls said no?"
    Harry looks at me and smirks. "Because I don't need Carly to tell me who to date. She's not my mum."
    He gets off the couch and is going to walk to his room, but I stop him. "You know she's going to kill you."
    He shrugs. "I don't care. I like Abby. We actually had fun."
    He walks around me and walks to his room. I turn back to Niall and Zayn and they have the same look I have. We're shocked that he would over step Carly. This is going to end badly.

***Carly's POV***

I feel like I am stalking Abby and Harry, but that's exactly what I'm doing. My mind keeps thinking why Harry would over step me? He's fucking asking for it. I follow them the whole way to the ice cream parlor and decide I had enough. I turn around and walk back home. I'm too furious to barge in on them. When I go back to the apartment and walk through the door I slam it shut. I don't even notice Liam is sitting on the couch. He jerks his head up when he sees me come in. He can tell I'm angry. He walks to me.
    "Carly what's wrong?" Liam tries to touch me to comfort me, but I side step him.
    "Harold over stepped me. After I told him that I wouldn't set him up with Abby he fucking decided to just do it himself." I am so angry I start shaking. Liam pulls me into his arms and I don't pull away.
    "He's an asshole. He will do whatever he wants." Liam whispers to me. That makes me smile that he called his friend an asshole.
    I pull away and look up at him. "Liam I'm ready."
    He smiles. "I'll call my mom and she will arrange a date for us."
    I smile. He leaves the room to make the call that's when there is a knock at the door. I walk to it and answer before seeing who it is. When I open the door I just want to slam the door. Standing in front of me is Dylan. He is looking at the ground.
    "What are you doing here?"
    He looks up. "Carls I came to apologize." I nod for him to continue. "Can I come in?"
    I open the door wider and step aside. He walks around me. When I shut the door Dylan is standing in the family room talking with Liam. I didn't even know he came back in. They are actually being nice to each other. Did I miss something?
    I spoke up, "So Dylan apologize."
    Dylan looks at me and back to Liam. Liam nods at him. What was that? Dylan steps closer to me. "Carls I'm sorry for everything I did. I didn't mean to kiss you. It was a stupid move to make, but I didn't want you to go. I know after you two get married I won't see you anymore. I guess I was scared of losing you. But I see how much you two love each other. It was Abby that made me realize that we would be nothing more than friends. So I'm sorry for everything."
    I spread my arms. Dylan right away comes to me and I hug him. I know he didn't mean anything that he did. I knew I would have to forgive him sooner or later. He's part of the band and he's one of my best friends. We pull away.
    "So am I back in the band?" Dylan is pleading.
    I chuckle. "Dylan you were never kicked out." He felt relieved I said that. "But you better get ready. We go on tour soon."
    He nods. "Lucas told me that we were going on tour with One Direction. It's exciting."
    I notice when he mentions Lucas his eyes weren't looking at me. Is something wrong with Lucas? I was going to ask, but Dylan spoke up first. "Lucas said that he probably won't be joining us on tour."
    My face falls when he says that. Dylan comes and hugs me right away, but I step away. "Why would he do this to us?"
    "He said it would be too much for him. I don't understand, though."
    "It's about Abby." That's all I say before walking over to the couch and plop down. Liam comes over to me and kneels before me.
    "Carly it will be alright." Liam rubs my knee.
    "No it won't. The band won't be the same without him. I have to go talk to him." I get up, but Liam grabs my arm.
    "Baby, please just let it work itself out. I know Lucas is doing this for all the wrong reasons, but there's nothing that you can say that would change his mind." Liam is giving me a sad look.
    I look over at Dylan and he is giving me the same look. They're right. Maybe it's my fault. Maybe I pushed him too far when we had that conversation at his house. I screwed this all up. I start crying and before Liam can pull me into his arms I storm out of the apartment and just keep running. I don't know where I'm going, but when I stop hopefully standing in front of me will be the answer.
