Chapter Eighteen: Games

The doorbell rang but no one moved towards the door. Niall remained focused on the TV and Zayn was too engrossed in his phone to even notice. I rolled my eyes at their laziness and walked to the door. I opened it and my mouth dropped. In front of me, with a similar reaction, was Abigail, Sarah, and Tammy. We all stood there for a good minute just looking at each other.

"Hi," Sarah finally choked out. I couldn't even utter a hello back because I was so surprised. Why were they here? And then the realization set in and I suddenly was harboring ill feelings. The boys stayed in touch with them. They got to have their fairy tale happy like endings while I was miserable. As I continued to think horrible things, a small voice in the back of my mind pipped up. That was over a year ago and I should let it go. Times have changed and we all made mistakes. I shouldn't have pushed them away and I shouldn't be angry at them. If only my heart could follow my brain; I would've saved myself a long time ago.

"Hi," I said slowly. I stepped to the side and let them in. "Come in."

"It's good to see you," Abigail smiled at me. I felt my lips turn up slowly in response. I nodded at her and I looked over to see the two boys still didn't notice the three new bodies in the room. I coughed loudly and they still didn't move. I coughed some more and Zayn looked up with an irritated expression.

"You should really see a doctor-" he stopped himself as his eyes swept over Sarah. His expression turned to a joyful one. He got up from the couch and came running over. He picked her up in his arms and hugged her tightly. They both laughed and they whispered back and forth.

"Too bad Niall can't act like that when he sees me," Abigail teased. At the mention of his name, he finally looked away from the TV. A smile lit up with face and he called out her name. "That's more like it," she greeted him with a big kiss. I smiled for them and looked at Tammy.

Tammy smiled sheepishly at me before opening her arms up for an inviting hug. "I'm really sorry, Chris," she apologized. I moved in slowly for a hug. I didn't squeeze her for long and she could tell I wasn't in the hugging mood. "How have you been?"

"Good," I responded.

"Is Louis here?"

"Yeah, he's in the back-" Wait a second. "You're here for Louis?" Her cheeks began to burn and my eyes widened. "You and Tommo?"

"Not yet but we have been texting," she giggled.

"What about your boyfriend?"

"I dumped him awhile ago and I realized there were better things out there. Louis and I are just friends," she defended.

"Yeah, for now," I teased. My comment made her cheeks burn even more. That's cute. Seems like everyone is happy: Abi and Niall, Sarah and Zayn, Tammy and Louis, and Liam with his mystery girl I have yet to meet. I felt my smile began to slip but I quickly covered it up with a cough. The time for holding a grudge was over. I had to be a big girl and get over it. It wasn't their fault I shut them out. They tried but I pushed them away.

"I'm going to go surprise him," Tammy blushed again before walking down the hall to find Louis. I suddenly felt out of place. The love birds were too gushy and I felt incredibly awkward. I trailed after Tammy but instead of following her to Louis' room, I stopped at Liam's. I knocked twice before slowly turning the door knob. Harry was laying down on Liam's bed while Liam was standing by it. The way Liam was posed with his hands on his hips, it looked as if he was scolding Harry.

"Am I interrupting?" I hesitated in the doorway. "I can leave if I am."

"You're fine. Liam and I were done talking anyways," Harry glared at me before standing up. Harry's ice cold glare caused my mind to go blank for a second. Why was he angry at me? Harry huffed past Liam, and headed straight for me. It felt like he was looking straight into my soul. Harry pushed past me with his shoulder before walking into his room and slamming the door shut. I slowly looked back at Liam with raised eyebrows.
