I wake up to yelling. Louis and Harry stand at the front door arguing with someone. Harry shifts a little and I see Niall. I pretend to be sleeping, keeping my eyes open a crack and listen to the conversation.

"Please let me see her." Niall pleads. He tries to get through the entryway, but Harry stops him.

"Be quite! She is sleeping on the couch." Louis says.

"She slept here! Great, just great." Niall says. He folds his hands behind his head and closes his eyes. I want him to leave so bad. To forget I ever met him. But I can't. I can't help but want to hug him right now.

"Where else was she supposed to go? Niall, you kicked her out." Harry snaps at him. I hear Niall's deep, heavy sigh. There is a pause.

"One minute. That's all you get with her." Louis tells Niall. I hear the door click shut and I hear one person walk over to me. The couch cusion sighs when they sit down. A warm hand brushes my hair out of my face and I hear Niall choke back a sob.

"Baby I am so sorry. I was just scared of losing you. Please forgive me. Please." he whispers taking his hand in mine. A tear lands on my hand as I open my eyes. Niall's hair is a blond mess and his eyes are red and puffy.

"I don't know Niall. I don't know." I whisper back. He looks away, his blue eyes shining with more tears.

"I understand. Maybe I am not good enpugh for you. I was horrible. I guess I will leave you be." he stands. Harry is leaning in the doorway. He looks pissed and is glaring at Niall.

"Not wothout seeing what you did to her." he says. He grabs Niall and forces him to look at my face. "Do you see that mark on her cheek? Do you? You caused that!" he releases Niall. Harry is shaking with anger and I just want to leave. Niall stands again and walks to the doorway, but Harry isnt done yet. He punches Niall in the face. He stumbles back from the blow and starts crying hard. I sit there in shock.

"Thats what you get for hurting my buttercup." Harry yells. I stand up and look back and fourth between the two of them.

"Your buttercup? I don't know if I want to be either of your guys buttercup!" I yell. My throat is sore but I keep talking. "What the hell Harry! I can't do this, I need to go."

After I leave the room I hear Harry tell Niall sorry in a harsh tone. Nobody runs after me. I want to be alone in the world. I drive to the lake where I first ran into Niall and Liam. I, being the skilled person I am, was drowning. Liam swam out to save me. Niall was so worried, and he called me everyday to see if I was okay. A week or so later and he asked me out on a date. I park the car by a hidden beach and get out. I smell the cool air and instantly feel better.

I find a spot of wild flowers growing by the sand and sit down. The water is lapping the sandy shore in front of me. Something is just so calming about the lake. I sit and listen to my racing thoughts.

Hours later I hear a car stop behind me and a few car doors slamming. I hear people walking towards me, expecting a killer or family going swimming but when I turn around I see Liam, Zayn, and Louis.

"Hey, everyone is looking for you." Zayn says.

"Why? So Harry and Niall can fight over me again." I cry. They all sit in front of me.

"Now love," Liam says softly. "We don't know what to think of all this. We only want to make sure you are okay." He pats my shoulder and smiles.

"How did you guys find me?"

Louis perks up. "You silly girl grabbed my phone not yours. We used GPS to track it down." I pull out the phone from my jacket pocket. Yeah, its his. We trade phones.

"So will you be okay?" Zayn asks. It is sweet how caring they are. Before I answer, Liam cuts in.

"Sorry to budge in, but where are you going to live Daisy? Unless you think you can still live with Louis."

"I can handle it. Thank you for caring so much." I say and hug each of them. I say goodbyes and get into my car.

"Just to let you know, Harry lookd like hell. Plus he will want to talk to you." Louis says before we leave. I just nod and start driving.

When we get to their flat Louis tells me to stay behind him. As soon as we get inside Harry jumps up from his spot on the couch.

"Daisy! Where were you?" Harry questions. Louis whispers for me to keep moving up the stairs. I reach the guest bedroom, now mine, and lay down on the bed.Louis

leaves me alone and I quick lock the door and lay down again quickly. My head has been pounding from all that's been going on. I hear heavy footsteps outside my door. Someone slightly knocks on it.

"Buttercup? Can I come in and talk to you?" Harry says, his voice raspy. Not now. Please not now. I meed to be alone.

"Leave me alone Harry." I say back. I hear him sniffling behind the door.

"Please. I just-" it's all Harry says before I hear him break down and start crying loudly. I am losing everything I loved.
