Your jaw drops. Everyone's eyes are on Niall and Marcy, standing in the doorway of backstage. The boys just completed an entire show without Niall, only for him to show up far too late. His news was outrageously unbelievable. You look at Louis, who is facing the wall. Every muscle in his body tenses. He turns around to show his horribly angry expression on his thin, scruff-covered face.

"FUCKER!" he screams at the top of his lungs.

You immediately look at your son, Davis, sitting quietly in the corner. He gets the message straight away and slips into another room.

Niall's face remains smiling.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?!"

"My name is Niall," he says.

"DON'T GET SASSY WITH ME. I want to know what the fuck makes you think you can say that, 'Niall'!" He makes quotations with his fingers very sarcastically.

"Say what?"

"You have no fucking right to leave the band!"

"Louis..." Liam whispers.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, LIAM," Louis shouts, pointing at him, but not taking his gaze from Niall.

"I love Marcy," Niall admits for the hundredth time. "There is nothing you can do to stop me."

Louis gives a short, hysterical laugh. "Is that SO? Did you hear that, Zayn? I can't do anything! Ah, I guess I'll just sit down then."

You flinch when Louis jumps straight back up and begins shouting again. His face is red and the veins are popping from his neck. He is clearly tired and headache-stricken.

"I COULD MESS YOU UP," Louis yells. "By the time I'd be done with you, you'd be needing braces again!"

Marcy is staying extremely calm in this situation. Niall as well. Something does not seem right at all, because you know Niall is usually especially afraid of Louis when he becomes angry. Marcy moves her hand slowly up Niall's arm.

"I love her," Niall repeats. "There is nobody else in this world better than her."

"I'M GONNA KILL YA!"

Louis lunges at Niall. Harry and Liam make the first moves to stop him, but Paul appears just in time. His arm wraps around Louis' waist, with only inches between the couple and Louis' flying fists. Paul starts pulling him away with ease.

"NO!" Louis screams. "PAUL, DON'T! DON'T YOU SEE? STOP! NO...no..."

Suddenly Paul stops.

"...no...no...no..."

Louis' voice has become incredibly softer. His voice cracks with each "no." He lifts his head to regretfully reveal a tear-streamed face.

"Please..." he sobs. "Niall..."

You notice Niall turn from a smile to a face of concern.

"Paul...let go...please..." Louis is completely calm, and the tears continue to fall.

Paul slowly does what he asks, but remains close by.

Louis stands up straight and stares at Niall. "I don't want anything to...happen..." he says between heavy breaths. "Like I said before...she...cannot be trusted. We are in danger. Niall, please. I'm...I'm so, so scared..." He takes a few steps toward him.

"Louis," Niall whispers. "What...what's wrong, mate?"

"Stay away from my Niall!" Marcy shouts.
