TRIPLE UPDATE?!??!?!?! :D Make sure you've read the last two chapters <3

~*~

“There you are!” Liam exclaims, “We’ve been looking everywhere for you guys!” Dani looks at him, confused. 

“I texted you...” She says as if it was obvious. 

He pulls out his phone. 

“Oh yeah,” He mumbles. 

I don’t even look around to see who’s in the hallway, I just pace back and forth angrily.

“Anyways, watch out ‘cause Jessie’s fuming!” Danielle warns them. 

“I need to kill someone,” I explain calmly. 

They all look at me weirdly before Harry asks, “Um... Why?” 

I glare at him, and I’m pretty sure I look really infuriated right now but I am, so... 

“They called my relationship with Louis a fling! A fucking fling! It was a full blown relationship and I was... Am... In love with him! It wasn’t a fling!” I practically scream at Harry who looks really shocked and kind of scared, “And that you and me are dating just because we went out in public together! Like what the hell?!”

When I finally look around, everyone seems kind of shocked but Liam and Niall are smirking and Louis’ grinning. 

“Um... Did I miss something?” I mumble, looking at their smug faces. 

“You just got really angry that they called your relationship a fling and then said you’re in love with Louis,” Zayn speaks up and my eyes widen.

Well shit. 

“Um, uh, um... Whaaaat? Psh no I didn’t,” I lie, biting my lip and chuckling nervously. 

“Guys, can you... Um...” Louis looks around at them and they stand there for a second before mumbling ‘oh right!’ and all walking into their hotel rooms, leaving us alone in the hallway.

“Listen Louis-” 

He cuts me off, “Wait, Jess, I love you... And I hate myself so so much... I just... I wish that night never happened and honestly, for you, I’d give up drinking for the rest of my life if that’s what it takes,” He frowns, sounding genuine.

“Louis... You said that if you couldn’t have me sexually, there’s no point in having me at all,” I inform him and his eyes widen. 

“That’s not true! I was drunk and honestly I couldn’t care less about sex!” He raises his voice slightly. 

“Usually people are more honest when they’re drunk,” I point out.

“Usually people are more horny when they’re drunk,” He pipes in and I nod slowly, still unsure. 

“I don’t know...” I admit, “I’m just... So confused, Lou...” 

He sighs, grabbing onto his door handle, “I’m not asking you to forgive me, I’m asking you to let me prove to you that I will never do that again.”

I run a hand through my hair and he opens his door. 

“At least think about it and know that... That I love you with everything I have.” 

And with that he was gone. 

I just collapse against the wall, sliding down it with my eyes squeezed shut. After about twenty minutes of just sitting there, Harry walks out of his room, looking over at me with curiosity and concern.
