XOXO

Chapter 6

**Louis' point of view**
I woke up the next morning and went downstairs. I was up earlier than everyone.
I started to the fridge for some milk. Two notes cough my eye with Layla's handwriting.
I read them both.
I cursed.
I woke the lads up and told them she had left.
"Are you sure Lou?" Liam asked.
"Shes not in her room all her clothes are gone!" I said.
"Lets go get her" Niall sighed.
It was five in the morning and the lads and i were dressed and in the car.
I got a call from simon.
"Hey uncle si! Cant talk right now bye!"i said and quickly hung up.
I sighed and tried to get a hold of Layla. No response. She was probably still sleeping.
"This is all my fault!" Harry said and buried his fave in his hands. "If i never kissed her you wouldn't have gotten mad and she would have never left!"
"Harry its not your fault!" I said.
"Yes it is!" He said
"Its mine Harold! Its my fault!"i said.
"If i would have accepted her apology she wouldn't have left. She spent and hour apologizing and i said nothing to her! Im the worst!" I blamed myself.
"It not any of your guys' fault so quit blaming yourself!"

**Layla's point of view**
I had just woken up and looked in my mirror. I had major bedhead.
"Morning mum" i said as i walked downstairs.
"Morning daddy" i said kissing his cheek.
"Good morning princess" he said.
My mum served me pancakes. I looked at them and cried.
"Oh honey whats wrong!" She came over and squeezed me.
"Louis used to always make me pancakes!" I cried.
"Im sorry princess. It will get better i promise!" She said.
She took my plate and gave me eggs and bacon instead.
"Thanks mum" i said.
"Now this louis, what did he do to you?" My dad asked.
"It was my fault daddy." I confessed.
He looked at me. "Darling did you apologize?"
"He didn't say anything he just stared at his shoes blankly" i sniffled.
"How about i take you shopping princess? To get your mind off him?" He asked.
"Thanks daddy" i said and hugged him.
I finished my breakfast and went upstairs.
A picture of Liam and i was on my dresser. It was when we graduated. I smiled. I missed him.
I got a text message.
"Hey Layla where are you I'm worried sick about you!"-Liam
"Im fine li! Im with mum and daddy and i miss you so much"-lay
I saw a text message from louis but i ignored it.
My phone rang. "Big Brother wants to FaceTime" it read. I answered it.
"Hey li" i said.
"Hey lay. Are you crying?"
I nodded my head.
"Wait a second where are you li?"
I heard footsteps up the stairs and Liam's voice getting louder.
"Home" he said and he opened my door.
I hugged him so big and tight. I started sobbing.
"You came all the way home, for me?" I said.
"Of course i did your my little sister!"he said.
"Thanks li" i said.
**Liam's point of view**
Layla and i walked down stairs. I had snuck in and my parents didn't see me yet. I was giving Layla a piggy back ride down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Mum!" I said and she gasped.
"Oh my baby boy! Your home!" She cried and hugged me.
"Hey son!" My father hugged me.
"Hey dad" i said.
I put Layla down.
I got a text from louis.
"Hey mate when can i come in i need to see her!"-louis
"Surprise her!"-Liam
"How?!"-louis
"Err...umm...go to the store and buy her roses and chocolates and what ever and then come back text me when you get here. Then i will have her outside in the backyard distracted. Hug her from behind and do whatever it is that you do that made her fall in love with you. Plan?"-Liam
"Plan!"-louis.
"Hey lay get your swim suit on!"i said.
"Okay!" She said and we raced up stairs.
It was may and the weather was nice enough to go swimming. The pool was heated anyways.
I texted louis
"Hey lad when you come get in your swimsuit we are going swimming!"-Liam
"K mate"-louis
--1 hour later--
**louis' point of view**
"Done shopping I'm in the house"- louis
"Alright shes distracted"-Liam
I walked outside careful not to let anyone know i was here. Niall was behind me and decided to videotape the whole thing.
There she was. I was in my swim shorts already just incase she happened to push me in.
I walked behind her and snaked my arms around her waist. She loves it when i do that. I pecked her cheek. The roses, chocolates, and teddy bear were in my hands around her waist. She looked at them. Liam was smiling in the pool.
"Hey princess" i said.
She turned around her bright green eyes as wide as saucers.
"Baby!" She said and jumped on me.
I kissed her lips and dropped her stuff.
"I missed you so much!" I said.
"Im so sorry!" She said.
"Don't be. I was being a jerk and not listening to you. Im sorry love." I said.
She started crying.
I set her down.
"No baby don't cry!" I said wiping my tears with my hand.
She looked down at her tiny feet. I lifted her chin up. I leaned in and kissed her bright pink lips. She kissed back. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she rested hers on my shoulders. We broke the kiss.
"I love you" i said.
"I love you so much words cant describe!" She said
I carried her and into the pool we went. Niall recorded the whole thing.
"Louis! You got me all wet!" She said.
I picked her up and kissed her.
"Does that make up for it?" I asked.
She smiled and blushed.
"Is that a yes?"
"Yes louis it does!" She said.
--3 hours later--
**Layla's point of view**
i was snuggled up next to louis on the couch.
"Err...where is harry?" I asked.
"He's in Liam's room" louis said.
My dad walked in.
"Louis, a word" he said.
Louis got up and my father took him outside.
**louis point of view**
"Yes sir?" I asked.
"She cried over you at breakfast. My wife gave her pancakes and they reminded her of you. Last night she cried all night. We tried giving her tea and it reminded her of you. Anything we tried to give her or said reminded her of you. She loves you louis."
"And i love her sir"i responded.
"I appreciate you coming back to her and treating her right. But you don't have to call me sir,louis. All i ask of you is to protect her, keep her safe, and treat her right." He said.
"Yes mr.Payne"i said.
"Just call me dad" he said.
"Ok" i said with a smile.
"Your excused" he said.
I walked into the living room and Layla was sitting next to her sisters, Nicola and ruth. Nicola is 27 and ruth is 24, A year older than her and Liam.
"Hey girls" i said.
"Hey Lou!" Ruth said.
"Hi!" Nicola said.
"Boys! Girls! Dinner!" Layla's mum called.
I sat next to Layla and ate my dinner with her.
--after dinner--
**Layla's point of view**
Harry didn't come down for dinner. Harry didn't come down for desert. Where was he?
I walked up the stairs to Liam's bedroom.
"Harold?" I called.
"Harry?" I was starting to worry now.
He wasn't in here. I ran downstairs.
"LOUIS!!!!" I yelled.
He rushed over to me. "What is it love?" He panicked.
"Harry isn't in Liam's room, he's not anywhere inside or out!" I said.
"Oh my god!" Nicola said.
I looked out the window and saw what she saw.
