*Louis's P.O.V*

I was sitting on the soft couch, waiting for Eleanor. I had told my parents and they fled the house, bringing my sisters along. I was alone. I got up and ignored the creak of the floorboards as I walked towards the kitchen. Humming, anxious to see her, I looked through the fridge and pulled out a Pepsi. Wonder what was taking her so long...

Thoughts drifted through my mind about what'd it be like to have Eleanor as my girlfriend... but Harry's words were clear when we talked on the phone for the first time. "Nuh-uh! None of you are dating my sister. She's already gonna get enough hate! I don't want you guys to be all over her and then her get more hate!!"  The words seemed to float through my mind, distracting me from everything else. Then I realized, why did Eleanor need to talk!?

At the moment, there was a knock at the door and a small call of my name. I jumped and set down the pepsi. I jogged towards the door, happy to see her and excited to the smile upon her lips pink lips that looked so cute. But when I opened the door, tears were streaming down her cheeks and her eyes and nose were red. I pulled her in my arms, my instinct to keep her safe and protected. Whoever made her like this, was going to pay. Soothingly, I played with her hair until her sobs turned in to hiccups. We were still standing in the open hallway. I led her to the couch so she could sit. Leaving her alone was what I wanted to do the least of at the moment but I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I soon returned and she explained everything to me.

....Zayn....... He was my last thought before me and Eleanor decided to do something fun. 

*Zayn's P.O.V* 

Everything was okay. Perrie told me she liked me. We kissed and were alone in the house. But there was a problem. I didn't see everything but I did hear most of it. Eleanor liked me!? I thought I heard wrong, that my mind was playing tricks on me. I thought she liked Louis? What the heck happened to that? Was she just jealous? No.. She didn't seem like the type. But, my ears were ringing, she slammed the door so hard. I couldn't think straight.

I blinked and let my brown eyes wander, looking around the room I was currently in. It wasn't the living room.. I was laying down? "Perrie?"  No response.

I sat up and stretched, my muscles relaxing as I continued to scan the room. There was a note laying on the ground, still, waiting for a reader. I scooted off the bed just enough to reach down and pick it up. My eyes scanned the page, but the words wouldn't set it. 

Dear Zayn, 

I did know Eleanor liked you and what I did was wrong, she was right. I do like you though but before we start anything I need to fix things out with her. I went to see if I could find her with a little help of my friends. Don't worry, she'll be back so, so will I and hopefully not alone. Call my cell if you need anything, you're currently alone in the house. Love, Perrie x

I was right. Placing the note back on the floor where it started I got off the bed, that smelled so much like Perrie and stood ground, letting everything sink in. Running a hand through my already messy hair, I stumbled down the stairs towards the living room. It must've been horrible. I feel horrible. 

I shuffled to the couch and sat there for a moment. That's why she left when I admitted I liked Perrie. Now it makes sense. I'm just conufsed about...how.. Eleanor likes me and Louis!? I don't know what to do anymore. I didn't want to hurt anyone else. I was so sick of hurting people. I rubbed my forehead and looked back up, maybe expecting my fairy godmother to be there. Oh, why not? 

I flipped on the telly and went through the channels, not in the mood to watch a particular show. I saw Power Rangers and clicked on that. I hummed the theme song and watched like I was a little kid. Speaking of that, I missed my mom...and dad...and family. Maybe I should call them. 

I sat there thinking about my family, and how much they loved me no matter what I did, I lived to make mistakes. Slowly, the girls drifted to the back of my thoughts, right now, not on top of the priorities list. I saw back, watching the show that made my childhood, attempting to enjoy life...the rollercoaster of life.
