Black Coffee (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 15

I'm so sorry about the long wait!

I've had college placement testing, senior Prom, a Marina concert, job interviews and basically a lot of stuff happening in the last couple of weeks and barely have had time to write!

But chapter 15 is finally here now, so yay!

I've loved how many votes Black Coffee has been getting as we'll as your comments! They've made me smile :)

Anyways... Carry on, and comment and vote :)

Chapter 15

"You can sleep in my room, Zayn." Liam said as he cleaned up the pizza boxes and the paper plates.

Zayn smiled up at Liam. "Thanks man."

"It's seriously no problem." Niall said handing Liam his very own greasy plate.

"Seriously I'm so glad you're here." Louis said snuggling closer to Zayn over-dramatically.

Ben felt a sting of jealousy.

Zayn rolled his eyes, shoving Louis off him. "Yeah back to the good old days, huh?"

Liam barked a laugh, "Like when we were filming one thing and you kept poking Louis and I with that damned umbrella of yours?"

Zayn gasped loudly, "That was Louis' umbrella!"

"Doesn't mean that you didn't steal it from me you dunce!" Louis protested, shoving back at Zayn.

"What every at least I didn't break that cup on that live radio interview!" Zayn shot back at Louis who just rolled his eyes.

"That was Niall!"

"Harry shoved me!" Niall quickly shot back, quickly realizing that what he said it was a serious mistake.

Everyone avoided Ben's gaze as if it was their job. That stung. And suddenly Ben wanted to curl up in his bed and cry out all his guilt and angry and rejection onto his pillow. He wanted to scream that it wasn't his fault! He didn't choose to ruin Harry's lives and bring tears to millions of people's eyes. He ruined the band. He brought an end to a wonderful era. And no matter how much he wanted to prove that it wasn't his fault, there was that voice in the back of his head that was always there, that always whispered: 'It's all your fault'.

Louis faked a yawn. "Well I'm dead tired!" He got up follow by three awkward lads,

"Me too." They all chimed in. Making their way to their bedrooms, saying the appropriate 'goodnight' to each boy, including Ben.

Ben say in the living room until he heard each door click closed. Holding in his tears, he made his way to his room, turning off the lights one by one as he went.

He closed his door softly, and stripped himself of his clothing except for his briefs. He slipped into the cold covers, a few tears falling quietly down his cheeks.

Louis stood by his own bedroom door, debating whether or not to check on Ben. The look on his face was pure pain. He didn't miss that. Ben felt guilty. And rejected and alone.. Louis wanted so badly to scoop the boy in his arms and kiss every inch of his skin, just so he'd know that he's loved.

He sighed defeated, and turned towards his bed. He wished that Ben realized how guilty Louis felt as well...

***

Louis woke up, feeling like complete shit. The memory of he and Harry's fight last night weight down on him like a million bricks. He made Harry leaving the fucking apartment! Why would he kick out the man he loves, for something that was out of his control?
