A Different Way[Louis Tomlinson]

Chapter Ten

[Another longish chapter! :D Finally able to think a little... But soon school starts and that means fewer updates. Ugh well back to the story for you all.

The door is locked. I scream, and pound my head against the door. I sit on the step. Everyones probably asleep, and I'm not going to wake them by ringing the doorbell. I sit and cry on the porch step. Theres nothing I can do, so I just sit on the step, leaning against the door. At some point I fall asleep.

"Amber?!?!" Havana screams. I sit straight up, hitting my head on the porch railing. She's standing there with the door open.

"Did you sleep out here?!" I just nod, standing up.

"Come inside! You must be freezing!" She pulls me into the house. Luke, Jon, Richie, Marlene, and Cali all sit at the giant table eating breakfast. They all gasp when they see me. Havana leads me down a hallway and into a bathroom.

"I'll bring you some clothes, go ahead and get in." She says looking at me worriedly. I nod and wait for her to close the door. I get in the shower, just standing under the water. Now I can cry and no one will be able to tell. Havana comes in ten minutes later and sets clothes out on sink counter. I shut the water off and get dressed. She chose a simple pair of my shorts, and a t-shirt that says The Beatles. Underneath the shirt, is the bracelet Louis gave me. I sit on the edge of the counter, twirling it around my finger.

"Amber... The phones for you..." Havana says, cracking open the door and setting my phone on the counter. Caller ID:Louis.

"Hello?" I ask holding the phone up to my ear.

"Amber..." Louis sobs.

"Louis... Louis what's wrong?!"

"The guys... They... Coming to get you..."

"What do you mean they're coming to get me...?" I ask.

"They want to talk to you... Don't let then hurt you..." He sobs again into the phone.

"Louis... Where are you?"

"At Zayn's flat... He wont let me leave... They'll hurt you Amber..." My mind races, why do the guys want to talk to me? Suddenly theres a knock on the bathroom door. Luke opens it, a horrified look on his face.

"Louis... They're here..." I whisper into the phone. He lets out a heart wrenching cry and Luke takes me to the door.

"Louis... I should go..."

"No! No! Don't talk to them..." He sobs, harder than before.

"I'm sorry Louis, but I have to. I'll call you when we're done talking... I'm sorry..." I say hanging up the phone. I can still hear his sobs ringing through my head. I turn to Luke, who stands between me and the door, which behind is the guys. I hand him my phone. And he moves out of the way. I put my hand on the door handle, pausing before opening it.

Zayn leads the pack in front. Harry stands in the back, barricading the steps.

"What do you want." I snarl at Zayn.

"We told you to stay away from Louis."

"And I did! What's your guys' problems?!"

"That song, the last one. What you did, made Louis light up like a rocket. We told him he couldn't talk to you but of course he tried. We all heard you and Marlene yelling... And something about it broke him. He stood outside the door for a long time. Then he turn and headed for his own. He wouldn't come out. Amber you hurt him." Zayn preaches.

"I hurt him?! Who's the one holding him back and punishing him when he does talk to me?!" I yell, stepping closer to him. His eyes are fuming and his mouth is set in a straight line.
