Security's Sister

"It's fine, I enjoy you trying to be one with my rib cage."

Laura's POV:

"Just make it stop... Please make it stop. It hurts." I sobbed quietly into my knees again.

"Laura, it's okay, you won't ever have to do that again." Harry said lifting my arms off my legs and hugged me.

"You, don't know that Harry." I sobbed soaking his shirt again.

"I do know that, because there is always a rainbow at the end of every storm." He said trying to cheer me up.

"What about you guys what do you have to say about it?" I asked the rest of the boys.

"We just didn't expect-" Louis said quietly but I cut him off.

I lifted up my head, "What, didn't expect me to be the type? That I'm just so fucking happy?" I questioned as they all nodded.

"You always seemed happy, and innocent." Liam said looking down at the floor.

"Well everyone's good at something, let's just say I'm good at pretending." I said rolling my eyes, pushing my head deeper into the crook of his neck.

"Laura, you don't have to pretend anymore." Michael said, I could feel all of their sad looks, it was a disgusting state of sincerity.

My sobs turned to cries, my cries turned to hiccups, and finally my hiccups turned to shaky breathes.

"You good now?" Harry asked rubbing my back.

He always knew how to calm me down and we've only known each other for like a week.

"Good, lets get back to our lazy night." He said pulling away, smiling at me.

"Evan you coming?" I shouted to the kitchen as everyone went to sit down or lay down on the couch or floor.

"Yeah, just getting some food." He yelled back and I swear I saw Niall's face light up like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Does that happen every time he knows he's going to get food?" I asked as I snuggled into Harry.

"Every time." Zayn chuckled.

Evan came out with some chips and popcorn, "Laura remember when you couldn't eat this shit?" He asked pointing to the popcorn.

"Oh my god, I hated my braces and that stupid palette expander." I groaned at the horrible memories of 7th, 8th, and freshman year.

"You had a metal mouth?" Harry laughed.

"Yeah for three years, it was terrible." I hid my face.

"What even is a palette expander?" Ashton laughed at his own stupidity.

"It's this thing they glue to the molars on the roof of your mouth and there's a key and it's horrible." I explained to him slightly irritated.

"There's a key?" Calum laughed at me.

"Yes, and if you crank the expander then it widens the roof of your mouth." I said embarrassed about those years.

"Oh my god, I remember this one time my mom almost dropped the key down Laura's throat, so for the last few months she had it she made me crank it." Evan said and they all started laughing.

"Shut up I could've died." I groaned making them all laugh harder.

"Is someone embarrassed?" Harry asked me as I pouted.

"Yes that is a time I DO NOT want to remember." I answered.

"Let me at least see a picture." Harry said as Evan quickly pulled out his phone looking through the photos.
