Say The Words (Louis Tomlinson Fan Fic)

Chapter 14

*Addie's POV*

Monday, August 12th, 2013

I wake up to an empty bed. I wonder where Louis went. I hear some murmurs out in the living room. I get up and head out there to see what's up.

I walk out and see all 5 boys out on the couches. It's only 9, I expect at least Zayn to still be asleep. "What's going on?" I ask and they all turn their attention to me.

"Good morning, Addie! Did you two have tons of fun last night?" Harry winks. Oh, brother.

"Good morning, Harold," I say shortly, avoiding his question. I go and sit next to Louis on the couch.

"How did you sleep, babe?" Louis asks me as he puts his arm around me.

"Good, you?"

"Good," Louis kisses my head. "I-." Louis is interrupted by Niall.

"Lovebirds!" Niall shouts.

"So, why are you guys out here so early and why were you murmuring?" I ask, ignoring Niall.

Everyone looks at Louis and Louis looks down at me.

"Management needs us back in the UK right away. They need us to come write a few more songs for the album and start recording."

"Well, that's exciting. When do you leave?" I try to sound supportive, but I don't want Louis to leave.

"Our plane leaves at 7." Liam says.

"Today? Oh wow. Well, shouldn't you guys be packing?" I ask. The boys nod and they all leave to their rooms and I follow Louis into his room. He shuts the door and starts to pace.

"What's up with you?"

He looks me straight in the eyes and says, "I really like you. I mean, I really like you," He stresses. "I just don't want to go knowing that you're still struggling. I want to be here for you and I want to help."

"Louis, I'm totally fine." I reassure him as I put my hands up to his cheeks.

"I know what you did last night." Failed again, Addie.

"Forget it, Lou. Let me help you pack." I pull out of his arms and head to his suitcase and start folding clothes up for him.

"I don't want to leave you here when you're still throwing up. You're not getting better. Do you realize that this hurts me too?" He follows me.

"Louis, don't tell me you understand my pain, please." I turn around and beg, staring into his eyes.

"Just please try to stop. Don't get worse while I'm gone. Of course, if anything happens, I'll be here in a heartbeat. But, I just want to see you healthier."

"Thanks. I am healthy though. I'm not fat; that's a good thing. I work out at the gym and exercising is good."

"You're right; you are definitely not fat. But, Addie, you can't ignore the other extreme. Too skinny is just as dangerous as too large. You're getting to be too skinny, and as much as I love exercise myself, I don't like the idea of you exercising every day with as little as you eat."

"I'll eat breakfast today and I guess I can skip today since you're leaving." I surrender.

"Thank you." He brings me in for a hug and I hug back. "I just don't want to lose you."

"You won't; I promise," I assure him. We pull away from our hug and I say, "Let me help you pack, yes? I fold clothes better than you." I sass and tap his chest as I walk over to his dresser.
