"Louis, wake up!"
The screaming was followed by three pounding knocks, stirring me from my previous unconscious state. There was the sound of a muffled groan and then Louis' voice, which sounded much closer than the person yelling. What the hell was going on here? Why could I hear the conversation going on between them... Why were they in my hotel room?
"Louis we have a big problem, wake up!" I now recognized the voice to be Liam's now. Who else would think to wake someone up this way?
"Is the big problem that you're yelling at seven o'clock in the morning?" Louis snapped, then the bed that I was lying in shifted with his weight. It was at this moment that I realized he was in the bed next to me.
"No, that's not the problem," Liam replied irritably. "The problem, is that Melodyloves1D is tweeting you."
Louis let out a long sigh. "Jesus, Liam, who the fuck cares? She's a fan I took a picture with... Is this about what I wrote on the wallet? It was a freaking joke, Daddy," he continued to grumble. Apparently he was more than a little grumpy after being woken up.
The door flew open so quickly it banged against the door. I sighed heavily as my eyes met Liam's widened ones. "Um... I hadn't expected you to be here, Stella..." He muttered, running his hand back through his messy hair.
"I didn't either," I muttered as I sat up, the buttons of my jeans digging into my stomach a little. "I guess I fell asleep..."
"Yeah you passed out during the movie," Louis said, brushing his hand through the air like the detail was irrelevant. His angry gaze slid back to Liam. "Now, please let me go back to sleep?"
"Melody has been tweeting some interesting stuff, Lou...you're trending again."
Louis jerked upright so quickly that I actually bounced a little on my side. I streadied myself against the headboard and he threw me an apologetic smile.
"And so are you," Liam added, his gaze now directed in me. That's when I felt a chill go up my back, panic setting over me like a thick fog. I was trending? How on earth would I ever start trending on twitter?
Liam seemed to sense both of our confusion. "It seems Melody noticed how... friendly you were with one another last night. The fans are going nuts demanding to know who you are, Stella. Larry shippers are calling you another fake to cover up now that Eleanor's contract is up - and then Elouner shippers are furious that you'd do this to her, Louis..."
"Do it to her? After what she did to me?" Louis thundered, his fist hitting the headboard as he grunted angrily.
"The fans don't know about that, Louis...and they can't know." Liam pressed with a warning glare.
Why was it such a big deal if they knew?
I couldn't find it in myself to say anything, because my mind was reeling. If whatever Louis and I were was a trending topic, the tabloids would surely scoop it up immediately. And if they didn't, it was likely Max would still see it on twitter... Of course I could completely deny any of it to him.
Actually, truth was they were false accusations. Other than a heart pounding, mouth watering kiss we had shared yesterday - our second... - there was nothing going on between us. Maybe it wasn't such a big deal after all. Max would believe me, and this would sure help getting Elise off my back.
I was now logging into twitter on my new iPhone, having yet to use that app. Louis and Liam were going back and forth arguing over the fact that Louis should have listened to Liam. Liam kept babbling how he knew something like this would happen, and Louis kept swearing at him and telling him to shut up.
