Lou's POV

As I was heading back to my flat, I couldn't stop thinking about her. Her curly brown hair that falls just below her shoulder blades, her contagious smile, and her eyes! They're a dark green color that lights up when she laughs. But I could also tell by her eyes that there was something she was hiding. When I asked her about herself, she kind of tensed up and became more guarded. I wondered why she did that, and why she shuddered at the thought of her father, but I didn't say anything and pretended not to notice. I then remembered that when she reached up to hand me back my phone, her sleeve slid up a bit, and revealed a few scars and bruises on her arm. "Next time I see her, maybe I can get her to talk to me about it," I thought to myself.

I pulled up into the driveway in front of my flat and grabbed my stuff, practically sprinting up the steps to my front door. When I got to the door, though, it was slightly open. I was positive that I'd locked the door before I left....

I hesitantly opened up the door, setting my stuff down as I walked in. I walked over into the living room and knelt by the couch, pulling out the bat that I had put under there, just in case. I looked around and nothing seemed out of place in here.

I tiptoed across the room to the wall by the kitchen, peering around the corner, to see that the fridge was open. Before I could think, I jumped out and shouted, "GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"

The blonde intruder jumped, sending the food that he had in his hands flying everywhere and screamed.

"Niall, what are you doing here?!" I yelled at him.

"I was hungry!"

"And you broke into my house!"

"Not true, you see, I used the spare key you had hidden in the plant on the porch. You should really hide that better, you know," he said, very matter-of-factly.

"You made me think there was a robber!" I said, still holding the bat.

"Well there's not! So can you please set the bat down and make me something to eat? I'm dying of starvation over here!" he whined with his big puppy dog eyes.

I set the bat down back under the couch, but refused to get him anything, and sat down on the couch. "LOUEHHH! PLEASE! You don't want me to die, do you?"

"Of course not Nialler, but I'm still not making you anything!"

"But-"

"No."

"Yes!"

"NO."

"YES!"

"NO!"

"Boys!" Liam said, coming through the front door, with the rest of the boys trailing behind. Harry came over to me and plopped down on the couch next to me, putting his feet on my lap, while Liam and Zayn went over to the other couch and sat down. Niall was still sitting in the kitchen glaring daggers at me. "Hey mate?" Harry asked.

"Yeah Haz?"

"Why does it look like Niall is planning a murder?"

"BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO FEED ME!" Niall shouted from the kitchen, answering for me.

"Aww don't worry Ni, I'll make you something!" Harry said as he hopped up from the couch and walked into the kitchen.

Niall then ran out and stuck his tongue out at me. "Real mature!" I said, as he ran back into the kitchen to thank Harry for making him food.

After Harry had finished making Niall a sandwich and the boys had decided to watch some football, I got bored and decided to pull out my phone and text Anna.

"Hey babe xx"

"Hey, thanks for the coffee earlier!"

"Don't worry about it ;)"

"So what's up? :)"

"Just thinking..."

"What about?"

"You."

"Aww :D And I have something to confess."

"What is it love?"

"I haven't been able to get you off of my mind all day :)"

"Aww really? Me too :D"

"Really?"

"Yep."

"I'm so sorry, but I have to go:("

"So soon? :'( "

"Yeah sorry :/ But can we maybe talk later?"

"Of course!"

"Ok, bye Lou!"

"Bye love xx"

"Who ya talkin to Boobear?" Harry asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Uh, nobody," I said, feeling my cheeks heat up.

"HE'S LYING! OOOH is it a girl??" Zayn asked, obviously already knowing the answer.

"It is! What's her name? What does she look like?" Niall said, not giving me a chance to answer anything.

"Guys, one at a time! Her name is Anna, she's 17, she has curly brown hair, and green eyes," I answered, smiling at the thought.

"Aww, Lou's got a crush!" Harry cooed.

"Oh shut up! It's nothing, I met her at Starbucks, got her coffee, and we talked for a bit, that's all," I said to him.

"Well, it certainly sounds like more than just that! When can we meet her?"

"Never, if you don't stop asking me questions and bugging me about it!"

"Fine! Well, I should get going, text me later, boo?"

"Sure, bye Haz!"

"We better get going too, come on lads!" Liam said.

"Bye boys! See you later!"

------------------------

After they all left, I went up to my room, getting ready for bed.

I texted Anna seeing if she was still awake, and we talked for a while, before we said goodnight.

I couldn't wait to see her again.
