I Want (To Be Loved By You)

Chapter 23

Lana's P.O.V

'She's doing it for the money and the publicity.' the tweet reads. I frown, the Internet just has no clue.

I scroll some more, reading some lovely things and some horrible things.

One in particular catches my eye though..

'He doesn't love her and he never will.'

I feel my heart drop to my stomach and I slam the laptop shut. my eyes tear up and I angrily push them away. It's true, he'll never love me like I've grown to love him.

I snuggle into the covers and let sleep carry me away from reality.

*2 months later*

"Hey guys, you were great!" I grin, chucking them some water as they run off of the stage.

"I know." Harry says, with a wink. I roll my eyes and sit down on the sofa.

"Oh and well done for forgetting the lyrics, Lou." I joke. He huffs, and crosses his arms.

"Don't be mean to me." He says, pouting his lips. Suddenly, he jumps up and tackles Liam to the ground.

"Why?" Liam groans. I swear, Louis may be the oldest but he acts like a 6 year old on crack most of the time.

"I'm hungry." Niall whines.

"Tough." Zayn says, sticking his tongue out.

They're all being very stereotypical tonight. Harry is acting cocky, Louis is acting like a kid, Liam is being very serious, Niall is talking about food and Zayn is looking at himself in the mirror. They're not always like this but sometimes it's like we've stepped into the world of fan-fiction and into the mind of the teenage girls that write the stories.

I can't deny the fact that I've read some LaLou fan-fiction. Heck, I've even read some Larry Stylinson fanfic. I must admit, they would make a really good couple. Mostly, the stories are quite good but one day I accidentally stumbled upon a smutty Larry fan-fiction and I think I'm permanently scarred for life.

"What are you thinking so hard about?"

I jump about a foot in the air as I return back to the earth and stare straight into Niall's eyes. I shove him away.

"You scared the shit out of me!" I exclaim. He grins.

"So?"

"What?"

"What were you thinking about?"

I hide my grin and stare at my lap. Nobody shall ever know.

"Oh my god!" Harry laughs.

"What?"

"You were thinking about something dirty!" He points a finger at me and I slap it away.

"Was not." I say, folding my arms.

"You were too! I can tell cause you're blushing." He plasters a cheeky grin on his face and I feel my face go an even deeper shade of red.

"See. Told you. I bet she's thinking about all the things she could be doing to Lou."

My mouth falls open and I look quickly at Louis. he looks shocked but a small grin starts to play on his face.

"I-I was not!" I stutter.

"Actually," I grin. "I was remembering a Larry Stylinson fiction that I read. It's just that reading about you giving Louis a blow-"

Harry lunges at me and covers my mouth with his hand. "Please do not finish that sentence."

He pulls away. "Ew! She just licked my hand!" He exclaims, wiping his hand on the sofa.

"Job." I finish, grinning wickedly. Zayn stifles a chuckle.

"Dammit, how did they know we did that, Harry?" Louis jokes. Niall bursts out laughing and falls off the arm of the sofa and onto the floor. Harry glares at him and nudges me in the ribs with his elbow. I stick my tongue out at him and then jump up.

"Come on then. Home and away!" I limp to the door and out to the tour bus. I'm nearly all healed up. I don't have to use crutches anymore, I just walk with a slight limp.

There's still talk of Louis abusing me but it's pretty much forgotten about. I called up the radio station and told them it was all bullshit and they gave me an interview where I told the whole world that it was complete rubbish. I also explained each of the scenarios and it's pretty much all cleared up.

Harry and Louis are still a bit awkward in each other's company and to be honest I don't really blame Louis for acting odd around him at all. I mean, Harry is supposed to be Louis' best friend and he didn't believe him.

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I pull it out to see an incoming call from my mum.

"Hello?" I say, a slight edge to my voice.

"Lana, darling! I haven't seen you in ages!" My mother's high pitched voice fills my ears and I hold the phone away slightly.

"Yeah. What do you want, because I'm really busy."

"I just wanted you to know that my plan worked!" She laughs.

"What plan?" My voice holds clear confusion and I clutch the phone tightly.

"Oh you know, to get you famous! You're welcome."

"Wow, wow wow. Back the fuck up. What plan?" I'm starting to get quite annoyed. A plan to get me famous? I could get famous all by myself.

I feel five bodies sitting down on the sofa next to me and I hold up a finger for them to be quiet.

"Well, I knew that you couldn't become an actress by yourself so I made a deal with SyCo that if they got you an acting job then you would marry the boy that messed up the band's reputation. Oh and there was also a nifty 500 pounds in it for them as well."

I can't see anything. Red clouds my vision and I stand up. "So you sold me for success?"

"No honey, it was all for you."

"Oh cut the shit! You never cared about me. Not really, this was all a plot to get rid of me right? Cart me off to some celebrity with lots of money so that I would be out of your life? Well done mother. I didn't think you had it in you. Guess what? Mission accomplished, because I am never coming home." I keep my voice low so that the others cant hear me nd then I swiftly end the call.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and I shrug it off, making my way over to my bed and drawing the curtain over.

It was all a plan to get rid of me.

(A/N) Ugh short I know but that's just too bad.

Sorry, that was snippy...

So...350 reads and only 3 comments? That's a bit harsh guys. I was going to be stubborn and just not upload but then I thought about the 3 people that acctually bothered to leave me a really lovely comment about how great the story was and some other things too and I realised it wouldn't be fair on them.

So I'm lowering the stakes a little for chapter 24.

2 comments and 2 votes for chapter 24.

Love you guys xx
