Arranged Marriage (Niall Horan)

Ethan, Put Louis Down

When we walked into Nando's, Ethan grabbed Lou and held him up against the wall. "Stay away from my sister," Ethan said. Everyone stood in shock, being no help. "Ethan, put Louis down," I demanded. "No, Dexy," he said, not taking his eyes off Lou. "What did he do?," I asked. "According to Curly-head, Stripes over here is in love with you," Ethan said. "And that's a reason for holding him against the wall?," I asked. "Yes because he is going to stay away from you or else. It's bad enough you have to marry a Horan," he said with more anger exposed in every word. I guess I should tell you that Ethan has anger issues, but Kera and I are the only people he won't take it out on. "Ethan, please put Lou down. Just because he loves me, it does not mean that I love him," I said, lying through a concerned face. All I wanted to do was get Ethan to drop Lou for me to find out if he really loves me, but I had to calm Ethan down. Man, am I a good actress! No wonder I get the lead in all our school plays. "I'll get married to Niall to end our family feud, ok? Now, put Lou down," I said calmly. He still looked angry, but he put Louis down. I walked up to Lou and asked,"How's my Boobear?" "Fine. Embarrassed, but fine," he replied. Then, I grabbed Niall's hand and said, "Excuse us." I pulled him outside and around the corner so no one could see us through the windows. "What the bloody hell, Dexy?," he asked. "Why'd you just run off? Do you think I want to do this? I feel the same wa-" "Shut up, Niall. God damn it, let me speak!," I screamed. He closed his mouth and tried to avoid eye contact. "Look, I'm willing to try this if you are. But, we have to promise to try to stop fighting. We go through this together. I'm sure we can, at least, become friends," I said while Niall nodded the whole time I was speaking. "Yeah, but why'd you run off?," he asked. "I don't know. I guess...with my dad being here, I was expecting him to do something fun not add more pressure to me,"I said. "What do you mean 'more pressure'?," Niall asked curiously. "I haven't even told Lou. The only person that knows is Ethan. Maybe I'll tell you when I trust you," I muttered. "Yeah. Ok, let's go back before Ethan tries to kill me like he tried to do with Tommo," he replied, smiling. I giggled and we walked back to find our families and the boys walking to their cars. My dad came to us and said, "Your friends, Ethan, and Niall are coming with us to play Laser Tag," my dad said.
