Living with One Direction

Chapter Nineteen- Twenty

Clara

There I was standing by the punch bowl pouring myself drink. Today we went to court to see who got custody of her, turns out her mom did so we are celebrating right now with a huge party at her house, cursory of her mom Anne.

I look over to my right and see Louis talking to this girl, her dark brown hair falling below her shoulders as she laughed at something he said. Her hazel brown eyes sparkling as she starred at Louis while he talked. Before I could even think I walked right over to them, one Louis saw me coming his eyes widened. I went straight up to him and kissed him right in front of everybody. He was shocked at first but he soon relaxed, I could tell that the brunette got the message because I could hear the sound of her heels clicking away.

I break away from the kiss as I realized what I had just did. Even Louis still had a shocked gaze upon his face as he looked at me. I broke from his gaze and looked around, everyone was starring at us and a few people were video tapping. 'Just great I can expect this to be all over YouTube tomorrow', "Clara!" Someone yelled as I look where the voice came from and see my dad standing there. His face was bright red, he looked so furious to a point where I could almost see steam coming out of his ears. He walked away and I took this as a sign to follow. I looked at Louis one last time, he was looking at me pitifully and still surprised.

"Dad I can ex-" before I could finish he cut me off. 

"I don't want to hear it Clara, what the hell was that!?" He yelled at me. 

"I thought I told you to stay away from him and now I see you kissing him in front of everyone" he continued throwing his hands in the air in frustration. 

"You know that this will be all over the news tomorrow Clara?, and we just got you out of the public's eye" he sighed calming down. 

"Look Clara management are going to set Louis up with Eleanor Calder, just so you can get out of the image of being his girlfriend, so they are going to be dating for awhile" he said placing a hand on my shoulder. 

"Dad I-I love him" I say as I realized something I didn't before. 

"I know sweetie but it's for your own good" he said.

I walk back to the living room where the party was still going on. Emily and Zayn were slow dancing, Niall was passed out on the couch and Harry and Liam were playing video games. Louis was at the same place he was before I left, only he was by himself.

I walk over to him as he looks up and his face lit up. "Hey" I say. 

"Hey" he replies starring down at his drink. 

"Um can we talk outside?" I asked not looking at him. 

"Sure" he said as I walked away hinting for him to follow.

I walk outside as I pull my jacket closer to my body by crossing my arms. "Louis I-" before I could finish he crashed his lips into mine. I place my arms on his shoulders as we let go.

 "What was that for?" I asked.

 "Sorry I just wanted to do that" he said sheepishly and breaking apart from me. 

"Louis I think that I love you I was just in denial before I could even realize it, I know about Eleanor and I'm happy for you but I just wanted to let you know, but I honestly didn't think I could love again." I say closing my eyes.

 "Clara" he whispered as I open my eyes again, his eyes were glossy. 

"That's what love does to you, once you get out you get pulled right back in again," he paused. 

"I love you too" he says as so much joy filled up inside me. 

"It hurts so much that we can't be together but maybe we can one day" I say as he nods. He leans in to kiss me again. Only this time I wanted it to last forever.

Chapter Twenty-

It's been a whole month since what happened at the party. Louis and Eleanor have been all over the news as been the cutest couple today, turns out she was the brunette from the party.
It's been so hard watching them together, gushing about each other every second of the day. I have to remind myself that I'm the one that Louis loves, but that's hard to remember when they are holding hands and kissing in every interview.

I rest my head on my pillow as my phone vibrates. I look at it and I see a text from my dad. Come downstairs we need to talk. I guess by 'we' he means me and him considering the boys moved into a hotel a few blocks from here. It's even worse not seeing him everyday, well maybe it's better cause I won't have to see the she devil everyday. Everyone says that I'm being delusional because Eleanor is so sweet and fun, but I know underneath all the act, there is a monster.

"Yeah dad?" I say as I enter the kitchen. He was sitting at a stool eating some breakfast.

 "Hey Clair-bear" he says as I take a seat next to him.

 "Hi dad" I say as Frank places a plate of Waffle's in front of me. 

"Thanks" I say before I stuff my face.

 "So I would like to discuss with you about the boys" he said. I nod my head not really wanting to talk about them.

 "Me and the guys are planning to go on tour" he said as I almost choke on my waffles, I take my orange juice and swallow before I say anything. 

"What!?" I say. 

"I said me and-" I cut him off. 

"I heard you I mean why?" I ask.

 "Well me and the guys just finished their first album so we figured it would be the perfect time to go on tour". He explained.

 "Oh" is all I say before taking another bite of my food. 

"Wait I'm coming right?" I ask him as his eyes widened. 

"Clara you know you can't come" he said. 

"Why not?" I ask. 

"Because-" he paused,"-because I don't want to you too, besides do you really want to be around the boys after what happened last month?" He asked knowing he had a point, but I wanted to see him again.

 "How long is the tour?" I ask.

 "Eight months" he said. 

"Eight Months?!" I repeated jumping from the stool, "Dad I can't be alone for eight months?!" I scream at him. 

"Clara calm down, you have Frank, Mara and Emily you will be fine" he said calming me down. 

"Wait you have to let Emily go, she can't be that long away from Zayn" I tell him. 

"I would have to ask management, but don't tell her that I don't want her to get her hopes up, you know how management can be" he said before he stood up and hugged me. "I got to go" he said kissing my forehead before walking out the kitchen.

A few months later, (Bonus)

It's been so hard not seeing the boys and watching them on tour. I wanted to be there so bad. Every time the boys sang, my heart broke a little.

I was watching one of their performance's when he called her up on stage. He got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. My heart stopped as he said the words, "Will you marry me?". Tears weren't even prepared to come put as I stood there in shock. "He lied to me" I say as my knee's became weak. I shut the TV off not wanting to listen to it anymore.

For the next few hours I sat on the floor not wanting to think about it.

Cause maybe of I didn't think about it then it wouldn't be true. But I knew it was, what hurt the most is that he looked me on the face and told me he loved me. "It was never true" I sobbed into my hands.
