No Control >> Louis Tomlinson

Together

"Oh, dear lord. What the heck did I do?"I mumbled, as I saw Shiki storm away to the car. I followed suit, rushing after her to the black Toyota. Shiki wrenched open the car door, and sat down in the back seat. Taken by surprise, I slowly opened the front door, and sat next to Alberto. I stole a glance at her, hoping her face would give me some relief, but no chance. She was staring out the car window, the side of her forehead resting on palms leading to elbows trained on the sill. I heaved a sigh, and looked at Alberto. He acknowledged me with kind eyes and twisted the key to bring the engine to life.

Weaving in and out of the traffic, the car speeded to bring us to our destination - the concert venue. We had a run-through scheduled in one and half an hour. All through the ride, only three phrases were spoken- two questions and a thank you for the dinner. And the single thought jogging in my mind was- does she hate me?

I mean, she shouldn't, yeah? She said she loathed her grandparents so I did the first thing that came into my mind. Of course, I could have just whisked her away, but nay. I did whatever came into my mind in a split second. But still, it saved her from facing them. Shouldn't she be thankful?

"Hey, Louis?"

"Yeah?" I turned around to find Niall staring at me with a befuddled expression on his face.

"Um," he pointed in front of me.

My eyes followed the direction of his hand, seeing a mass of black in contact with my body.

Sweet holy Jesus.

The bumper of the car containing Harry and Zayn was literally touching my waist, and the driver and the boys were doubled over in laughter. My eyes widened, and my lips parted to let out a gasp. I jumped back and looked the driver who was distributing high-fives to the other two members of the band. I stomped over and pounded at the window.

"Hey!" I yelled. The boys looked to their left, tears of laughter still cradled on their eyelashes. "What the hell? What the heck are you on?"

"Uh, Louis, mate." Harry said in a breathless voice, "You didn't even hear the horn. So, we just wanted to see how long it took before you noticed us." Zayn broke out into loud laughter once again.

Even I saw the humour in the situation. But, it was an opportunity to mess with them. After all, I could have died so I deserved the chance

"You are absolutely insane! God, I hate you people." I spat, and turned around to see Niall giggling.

"Shut up, Niall!" Here we go. "Scumbags," I muttered and walked away.

"Hey!" Zayn scrambled out the car. "We're sorry, Louis," Keep going. "Mate!"

I slowed to a stop, near a couch where Liam was sitting, messing with his computer. He looked up at me, and then turned around to watch Zayn, Harry and Niall enter one after the other.

"What's wrong?" He asked, staring at us with a wary expression. I stalked past him and sat down in a plastic chair. Pulling our my earphones from the pocket of my Levi's,  I stuffed them in my ears and played music dangerously loud. I watched as Harry and Niall came running and wandered around to find me, while Zayn stood on a table and scrunched up his eyes in search. Liam understood what was the matter and cupping his mouth, yelled, "He's over here!" Whilst shaking a thumb toward me. I pretended to groan and roll my eyes. Leave it to Liam to put a stop to the fun.

"We're sorry, Louis!" Niall said, kneeling near my feet, "Seriously," He stared at me with his big blue eyes, and bottom lip jutting out. He looked so adorable, I decided to give it up.

"It's okay, guys." I sighed. "No worries."

"Hey, guys? We need you out on the stage." I heard a familiar voice announce behind me. Turning around slowly, I saw Shiki waiting for us near the entrance to the stage.

I don't know what came over me, but I ran up to her. Seeing me come over, she turned around to leave.

"Wait," I said, "I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have done that and I understand if you don't want to talk to me again. Had a great time with you."

Shiki stared at me with wide eyes, and then suddenly exhaled. "Oh, my god, Louis, no. Its not like...I-" she squeezed her eyes closed and then opened them. "It's okay, I'm sorry for acting weird. I am weird. Sorry. You saved me from them. I am an ungrateful bastard and I-"

"You talk so much," I whispered, and pressed my lips to hers.

Yeah.

I feel like I shouldn't have named the character after me.
