Stockholm Syndrome (Larry Stylinson)

Explaining Changes

Chapter 20:

HARRY

I was eating breakfast with Zayn when Liam came into the living room with Niall. I immediately looked down, not wanting to face him right now. He really hurt me and pissed me off last night. It's not like I could have even imagined that I would fall for my kidnapper.

"He wants to talk to you." Liam said, nodding his head at Niall. I looked at Liam and then Niall. A part of me wanted to tell Liam that I didn't want to talk to him, vut the other part knew that I had to explain and he had some explaining to do, too.

I nodded, and Liam looked concerned while Niall seemed to have a spark of hope in his eyes. Liam pointed to the chair across from me and Niall quickly took it. I knew that he already understood to listen to them, though Liam would never hurt him. Maybe Zayn or Louis might if things got too tempered, but not Liam. Never Liam.

"C'mon, Zayn. Lou says the three of us have a mission to take care of." Liam said, wording it so that I had no clue what they were going to do, but I felt like it had to do with me. I was the main thing they were dealing with right now. I just wondered what Louis was going to do, but I would ask him later on.

Zayn sighed but nodded and stood up. "We leaving Harry alone here?" He asked, and Liam nodded. "Louis really trusts him that much?" He asked, raising his eyebrows up in surprise and Liam nodded yet again. "Wow. Well, see you later on Harry. Don't disappear." He said with a small chuckle, and I couldn't help but smile at him, too. We all know that I would never even dream of leaving.

They both walked outside to the car and then I heard footsteps coming down the hallway, perking up because I knew who they belonged to. Louis stepped into view and I would be lying if I said that I didn't completely drool over him. He looked that good.

He was wearing a grey suit with a tan coat over it. His hair was styled up, and he looked amazing. He smiled when he saw me, and that was the finishing touch. When did I fall so hard for him?

"Good morning, love." He said quietly as he came to me and pressed a kiss to my cheek. It left such a burning sensation, and I loved feeling this way. It was dangerous how fast I was falling for Louis, but I wouldn't change anything about this.

"You're going out?" I asked, and he nodded.

"We have some business to take care of, but we'll be back soon. Be safe while I'm gone, yeah?" He asked, kissing my hand, and I nodded. I wouldn't try anything, and Louis knew that. I just needed to have this talk with Niall and then I'd probably clean around a bit, make them understand that I am thankful that they made living here manageable and that they never hurt me badly. It was unimaginable that I would become friends with all of these people.

"I'll be back soon." He repeated, pressing a kiss to my lips, and I kissed back. I heard Niall make a low growling noise, but Louis only smiled into the kiss. I knew he was loving the fact that he had me and Niall didn't, but Niall was still my best friend. I hope.

Louis pulled away with a soft smile and then let go of my hand and walked towards the door, leaving Niall and I alone. I didn't realize I was stuck in a daze from Louis's actions until Niall cleared his throat. My head snapped over to him and he rolled his eyes.

"Could you maybe hide your obsession over your little boyfriend a little more? It's very obvious." He asked bitterly. Niall was my best friend, but he was currently getting on my nerves. He didn't even know anything that I felt or anything that has happened since I've been here.

"Sorry, Niall. I'll try and keep it on the down low for you, yeah?" I asked with the same amount of bitterness and sarcasm. I got up and took my plate with me, going over to the sink and beginning to wash it.
