*Author's Note*

Thank you for being patient and I really do apologise for taking so long to update. I hope you enjoy this chapter though, I've been looking forward to writing this part of the story for a while now and you'll probably see why once you read it :P I want to say a big thank you because my story has just over 700 reads now which I think is pretty amazing. It also gives me a great amount of pleasure to be able to dedicate this chapter to a really lovely person, a fantastic writer, a true directioner, a wattpad star, my favourite writer on this site and my main inspiration for writing my story: Sanne (aka TheWayYouLookTonight) If you haven't already please read some of her stories because they are absolutely amazing and my 5 favourite fanfictions are all written by her: Fanboy, The Boat, The Way You Love Me, Corrupting Liam Payne and Bittersweet Symphony. Anyway, thank you so much Sanne and thank you to all of my readers. Please keep reading, voting, commenting, reviewing and following. Love you all - Scott xx

Liam's POV

“I know you've been cheating on Danielle.”

At Niall's words I completely froze in shock. How can he know? How much does he know? How is he going to react? Why is he telling me this?

“Niall, I...”

“Save it Liam, don't try and lie to me because I heard you. That night when Louis ended up in hospital I heard you with some girl called Beth. And I'm willing to guess that time wasn't the first or the last, was it?”

“Niall, please let me explain?”

“Explain! Explain what? You're supposed to be Daddy Direction for fucks sake. We need you now more than ever. Louis is in a fucking coma, Harry is an emotional wreck, Zayn can barely bring himself to look at anyone, and me? Well, I'm left to pick up all the broken pieces while you just enjoy yourself, playing with Danielle's heart, and for what? A bit of fun? Lust? Just tell me Liam? Is it really worth it for all the pain that you are causing?”

“YES! Yes it is Niall. It's completely worth it because if you must know I'm completely head over heels in love with Beth. I can't help it if that hurts Danielle but I've tried to make things right. I broke it off with her today and I told her everything and look at what's happened. I've got coffee in my hair, I'm practically wearing chocolate cake and I feel like shit. And I come home to find you yelling at me, and what for? Because you can't handle yourself. You're just a child Niall. I am really sorry if I can't be 'daddy' for you and wipe away your tears at night when you get scared about your crush on Zayn going wrong but in case you have noticed I've got bigger issues of my own to deal with right now. I don't give me the guilt trip about Louis. He's in the best place at the moment and there's nothing I can do to help him. Harry and Eleanor need to grow up and settle their differences for themselves and do a little bit of soul-searching. And as for Zayn, he just needs to take a good long hard look at himself because if he carries on like this much longer he'll be going to an early grave. So please, Niall, before you start spewing shit in my direction, why not get all of the facts right first. Oh, and here's a great idea, maybe look a little bit closer to home for the answer to your problems in the future. Now, if we're down here I'm going to take a shower.”

Leaving a dumbstruck Niall rooted to the spot, mouth agape, staring straight at me, I headed up stairs to take a well needed shower.

Harry's POV

I drove back to the Hospital as fast as I could feeling guilty that I'd almost slept with the prostitute. But why did I feel guilty? It almost feels like I've betrayed Louis and not just because I left him lying unconscious in a hospital bed so I could have sex. I think I really am starting to fall for Louis and the very idea terrifies me. I know I'm straight. Hell, I've slept with enough girls to know that for certain. I've never even so much as looked at guy in that way...
