Count on Me

The next night

---------------------------------------------

Louis P.O.V

Tonight was the night. We had invited the lads, Dani, Perrie, Paul, Simon, and a few other important people in management.

Landrie was so nervous, biting her nails, cheeks, and any piece of gum or candy she could find.

We had called everyone and told them that this was urgent, and they had to come to the dinner. Simon and the management already knew what happened, but we needed support from wherever we could get it.

Landrie P.O.V

Louis opened the red Porches' front seat, and I hoped inside. I sighed, closing my eyes when I felt the car ignite. I don't know how it had happened. The last time we- DID IT was three months ago, we hadn't done it again because we were paranoid about, well, this.

I guess I hadn't realized how long I had been thinking because by the time I had snapped back to reality, we were pulling into a parking space at the restaurant.

"You ready?" Louis asks, a worried expression plastered over his flawless features.

"Ya, I guess..." I whispered in a breathy tone. "Let's do it then." Louis muttered, but nobody got out of the car. I think we probably would have stayed in it forever, if Dani and Liam hadn't walked by.

"Landrie! Louis! How are you? You coming in?" Dani immediately began her question assault.

"Uh, ya, we were just...uh.... Waiting for you!" Louis stutters, causing me to laugh.

Dani looked at us like we had sprouted three heads, shook her own, and began to walk towards the restaurant. "You coming?" Liam asks, I already knew he sensed something was up.

"Yeah, just give me a second." I mutter, opening the car door and attempting to pull myself out of the car.

"Here, let me help you" Louis says, taking both if my hands and pulling me out of the car. Then he does something that makes me flinch, he puts both hands on my stomach, which has already begun to form a bump.

Little did he realize that Liam was still standing right next to us. I wish

I could have taken a picture of the look on his face, because it was priceless.

"Am I missing something?" He finally gets out. "Uh, we, uh-" "Save it!" Liam snaps, "I can't believe you did something like that!" He shouts.

I feel tears threatening to make an appearance. "How could you! Did you think of any one but yourselves?!" Liam keeps ranting, forcing the tears to fall. I let go of Louis hands, realizing the minute Liam found out he grabbed on tightly. I ran into the restaurant, ignoring several strange looks and making my way to the bathroom.

I lock myself in the nearest open stall, and start sobbing. The only thought going through my head was Why me?
