Anna's POV

I was running. Through the hallways, out the door, across streets. As far as I had to go to get away from him. I was pushing through crowds, trying to get away as fast as possible. Quickly looking back, I saw that he wasn't there. When I turned back around, he was right there. He grabbed me dragged me through the streets, threatening to kill me if I screamed or tried to get help.

We were back at the house, and he threw me on the floor before slamming the door closed. His fist hit me repeatedly. I tried to fight back, or do something to get him off of me, but it was no use. I felt the darkness creeping in, but I didn't fight it. I slowly slipped into unconsciousness...

I woke with a start, not realizing where I was at first. But I looked around, and recognized Lou's flat. I sighed with relief, knowing that it wasn't really happening, that I was safe here in Lou's arms.

Looking around, I saw the other boys sprawled out across the living room, and remembered the fun we'd had the day before. I had only known them for a day, and I felt like they were the brothers I'd never had. And Lou... well, he's something special.

I turned over, being careful to not wake him up. He looked so peaceful while he was sleeping, even sweeter than before. I snuggled deeper into his chest for a while before I felt him start to stir. His arm tightened around me, and his eyes fluttered open. He looked like a tired puppy, adorable and slightly disoriented.

After he adjusted a bit, he looked down at me and smiled, but it quickly fell.

"Babe, are you okay?" He asked worried, and it was then that I'd realized how shaken up I must have looked. I felt a tear slide down my cheek.

When I didn't answer, he moved his hand to lift up my chin. "Anna, tell me, please. What's the matter?"

"Bad dream," I say simply, not looking him in the eyes. His eyes quickly flashed to my wrist and then back to my eyes. He moves his hand down to grab my wrist, and slowly pulls the sleeve down.

"Love, is this all connected? The bad dream and this?" he asked, concern lacing his features.

"Lou-" I started, but was cut off when the couch was tipped over and we went flying off of the couch. I expected to land on one of the other boys, but they weren't there. They were standing by where the couch used to be laughing uncontrollably.

Lou and I sat up and started laughing, too.

"You should have seen your faces!" Harry said, while gasping for air.

"Oh shut up," Lou said, blushing a bit. I couldn't help but laugh a little at that. Niall and Zayn were desperately trying to calm down, while Liam was nowhere in sight.

"Hey boys, where's Li?" I asked, looking around. I looked over at Niall and saw that he looked a bit worried. "Guys, I think we should clean up before-" he said, but was cut off by Liam walking into the room.

"Alright, who did this?!" he asked, clearly upset. The boys all pointed their fingers at each other.

"Hey don't look at me!" Lou said, "I was asleep on the couch with Anna! So we didn't do anything! I promise!" He wrapped his arms around me and whispered, "Don't worry, if they get us in trouble, I know where the spoons are!"

I giggled and poked him in the side. I saw Zayn slightly blushing in the corner, trying to contain his laughter. Oh they will so love me after I do this....

"Li! Zayn did it! And Niall and Harry were his accomplices!" I shouted, with the boys glaring daggers at me for ratting them out. I giggled and hid behind Louis. Liam started to yell at them and told them to clean up, while we got up and sat in the chair across the room while they were forced to fix the couch and pick up their mess.

Liam's phone buzzed and he announced that they had to leave for the studio in about twenty minutes. Lou sighed and started to get up, pulling me with him. "Come on babe, let's go," he said to me. "Wait, what?" I asked, a bit surprised. Did he want me to come with them?

"You're coming with us, whether you like it or not," he stated, dragging me with him while he walked into the kitchen. "But first, we must eat!" he said dramatically, and I rolled my eyes. I sat down at the counter and watched as Lou made some tea and pancakes.

After he was done, the boys all ran in and munched on the pancakes.... especially Niall. He had like four of them on his plate at once. No joke.

Once we were all done, we piled into the car. "Shot gun!" Harry yelled and ran to the passenger side. Zayn climbed in after me, separating me from Lou, and I tried not to look too disappointed; however, I saw that Louis looked slightly upset. I shot him a look to say, "I'm sorry," but he didn't see. Niall climbed in after and we drove off.

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

While the boys were recording, I sat outside of the booth playing on my phone and listening to them sing. They really did sound amazing.

It was Lou's turn to record his solos, and my head snapped up at the sound of his voice. He was just so... perfect. The other boys were really good too, don't get me wrong, but Lou's special.

Lou finished his solo, and giggled a bit to myself. After they were done recording, we went back to the flat and relaxed for a bit. Lou was playing with my hair, while I was tracing shapes on his chest.

I was undeniably in love with Louis Tomlinson, but did he feel the same for me?
