Living For Today

Chapter 26

Louis POV

My mind raced the whole way home. Not only was I really mad we didn't get to finish what we started, I also got really bad news. My mom called in a panic and I she was crying. I knew It had to be something big to make her cry.

We got back to the building and I guessed Mo was going to ask later. I loved her for that. She always knew exactly when I needed space.

I prayed to god she was safe... as I tapped my fingers against my pants.

"Okay. What are you so worried about. " she turned me around after shutting our door. Her hands on my shoulders I sighed heavily. "Okay I didn't want to freak out cause I knew I had to drive home and so I didn't want to worry you and I mean she's probably okay.I mean she's left before she always came back right? Yeah she usually did."

I hadn't realized I was crying till she wiped a few tears away from my chin. "Who? Who left?" She asked quietly. I also then realized I wasn't making any sense to her probably. I turned around and sat on the couch. She cuddled in next to me as I began to explain.

''Lottie ran away. She used to do it a lot when she started dating her boyfriend. We always thought they would elope or something cause she was 16. She always came back though. She just wouldn't talk to any of us. Her boyfriend always explained she said she was "tired of being at home and wanted to leave"

"I don't know. I didn't think it was that bad at home. I mean, sure, mum and dad broke up. But she hasn't left for a long time since back then. And then mom phoned and said that they waited for a couple days and she still isnt back. She never left for more than a night. I just hope she's okay."

She sat in silence while I cried to her about my little sister. I just wanted her to be safe. She always was but somehow my mother's voice sounded different this time. It was too late to go looking for her and Moriah made that point as she whispered sweet things in my hair. I fell asleep on the couch with her arms wrapped around me.

-------------------One week later!

Omniscient POV

Maz had spent the week goofing off with Liam who tried to distract himself from Gillian. As they sat in the go carts his mind wandered to his girlfriend. (Was that what she was?) Who was with Sami and Sofie. He wished she would just talk to him but she seemed to still feel uneasy with him. Why? Should they break up?

As he thought about her she thought about him just as much. They planned their video and conversation was never lacking but she still found her self wondering about him. She wasn't sure why he didn't want to talk to her. Was she that bad? Did he really not care? Should they break up?

"Where are Lou and Mo off to all of the time?" Sami asked suddenly setting up the camera to begin an intro. Sofie said she didn't care under her breathe but loud enough for the girls to hear. she was still mad at Moriah who always seemed to convince her Taylor was a horrible person. it wasn't her job to judgw people. She hadn't talked to Taylor in a few days and wondered how the poor girl was after her breakup.

Gillian guessed they were planning the wedding, maybe?

They were always gone. They would leave early in the morning and wouldn't come back until late at night. But truth was they were looking for Lottie. Lou felt like it was his responsibility and obviously Moriah wouldn't let him go alone. They drove all over the country basically. Checked in with her friends. No one knew where she was. Finally Lou stopped by her boyfriends house "hello. Have you seen Lottie?" He asked almost too quickly as the young man answered the door. He was a wreck and the boy who Moriah had never met before shook his head and had a stone cold face, something that made her uneasy. "She broke up with me... and no. I don't care." He spat back and shut the door. Lou just figured he was hurt from the breakup. But why had she broken up with him? he was always so kind and seemed to like her very much .

While Louis and Moriah were gone the whole week Harry hadn't bothered to leave his flat. He had sobered up a bit but just enough to hold a conversation on the phone. Those conversations usually were with Taylor who cried about Connor. He felt bad for her. She seemed so vulnerable and he figured it was better him taking care of her than some idiot who would just use her like she said Connor did. He snuck over to her hotel once and though he was lenient to go they just laughed and watched movies. Taylor told him about how Sofie had moved on but she didn't say with who. He was hurt but never let it show. He never did. He would cry himself to sleep when he did sleep due to the fact he missed her so much. No one would ever guess but Harry Styles was dying Inside while he thought his ex girlfriend had moved on.

Niall and Sarah spent their time playing sports or video games or going to parties. Niall wanted to show off to everyone that they were engaged. Sarah would blush and put out her hand to show everyone the ring. They would share kisses in public and be seen on the cover of magazines and all over the internet. Everyone seemes to love Narah more than anything. Gillian would come over for breakfast with them while Liam always stayed away. Niall had apologized to Gillian as well.

Andy tried to get his mind off Sami by choreographing dances or hanging out with old friends but it never seemed to work. Someone would do something to remind him of her or they'd ask how he was doing. he didn't want to be that guy who never let go but he wanted to be that guy who held onto what he thought would be okay again. He'd tweet sweet things as if Sami would see them. She never seemed to. He lost more and more faith as Nathan would text him more and more often explaining how much he loved her.

Sami would get constant text messages from Nathan asking her if she wanted to go out or where she was. What she was doing. If she wanted to come over. . . She got tired of it. He was just annoying and quite creepy to be honest. She wasn't sure what to do. Maz suggested actually facing him in person and she contemplated that. Maz would mention Andy once and a while which made her quite sad and she realized how much she missed him. But he was out with friends every night and seemed to be doing fine without her.

Ed and Shelby kept to themselves. He played most nights as she sat in the crowd. Their relationship had never been better. They would Skype everyone separately once and a while but decided it wad better if they didn't bother them. They both appeared in interviews around the UK and were all smiles.

Jade and Zayn spent most of their time shopping for furniture and packing their things in boxes. To everyone's protest they would in fact leave that week to begin their life in their new home. They were both excited and nervous.

Finally the day came when they would actually move, with the help of their friends, into their large home across town.
