A Different Way[Louis Tomlinson]

Chapter Twenty-Two

The rain pounds on the window as I wake up. The room is dark and dreary, just like outside. British weather is just great isn't it? Louis' sprawled on the bed behind me, one hand clamped tightly around my arm. I try to break away from his death grip but I can't. I sigh, falling back onto the bed. I stare out the big window to my left, listening to the rain pour. At eleven o'clock, the sky is still heaving more and more rain down on us, and the sky gets even darker. Louis finally rolls over, and yawns, stretching out. He smacks me across the face, and yell out.

"Oh sorry Amber! How long have you been up?" He laughs, rolling over to face me.

"A long time. I've just been watching the sky. It's getting darker and darker." I mumble.

"Oh I'm sorry, why didn't you wake me up?"

"You looked really tired so I let you sleep."

"Well you could have woken me up it's okay. What are we gonna do today in this rain?" He questions, looking over my shoulder at the window.

"What is there to do?" I laugh.

"Should you call Cali and tell her you can't make it again?" He looks back at me, his eyes still tired.

"Ugh, I totally forgot about that... She'll be really mad if I don't make it over today." I grumble, rubbing my forehead. I'm feeling a headache coming.

"Maybe we can get you over there... If the rain let's up a little..." He says, turning back to the window.

"I don't know, I'll go call her and see if things are any better." I roll out of the bed, and stumble my way over to the door.

"Amber?" Louis calls from the bed.

"Yeah Louis?" I stop, and turn back to him.

He doesn't answer at first, he just lays there staring at me with sad eyes.

"Nevermind..." He rolls back over to face the window. I sigh and continue on out the door and down the hallway to the stairs. I reach my phone in the kitchen and pick it up.

Dialling Cali's number, I see a note on the counter. I walk over and pick it up. It's written in neat handwriting and is addressed to Louis. The phone begins to ring as I read the note.

Louis,

We are happy that you're happy with Miss Amber Locktae. It seems you two are very alike in many ways, and you seem very fond of her already. But, we would like to inform you that we have decided against you and Miss Amber Locktae being together.

"Hello? Amber?" Cali picks up. I can't say anything, I just continue reading.

There's been a lot of debate about whether we should let you two be together, and it just seems right to not let you. So, I'm very sorry to say, she will have to move out of your place, and you will be asked not to see each other without one of the other boys coming along with you.

Thank you.

I let out a cry.

"Amber whats wrong? Amber?" Cali says, still on the phone line. I begin to bawl my eyes out, and I collapse onto the floor.

"Cali... I'll be over in an hour... This time I promise." I cry into the phone before hanging up. I shakily stand back up, leaning against the counter. Louis must have heard me because I can hear him running down the stairs. I don't even care anymore. I just fall back down onto my knees. He runs into the kitchen, shouting my name. I look up at him, and he sees me.

"Amber what happend?!" He runs over to me, and kneels down next to me. Then a sudden darkness goes over his eyes.

"You found the note." It doesn't even come out as a question, for he already knows the answer.

"I'm leaving." I push him away and stand back up, running out of the kitchen.

"Amber!" He calls out after me. I ignore him and bound up the stairs. I run into his room, and slam the door closed behind me, pressing the lock. I hear him tramp through the hallway, and he starts to pound on the door.

"Amber I'm sorry! ....I'm sorry Amber... It's not my fault, please don't be mad at me..." He sobs on the other side of the door.

"I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at your fucking management." I snarl. I grab my things, shoving them back into the suitcases.

"Amber I know... I'm sorry... Maybe we can figure..."

"Louis we can't do anything! We already tried to figure something out! Just face it, we'll never be able to see each other again..." I yell through the door.

"But the tour... They never called you guys off the tour..."

"It wont be the same, Louis, you know that."

"I know... I'm really sorry Amber."

"Yeah, well sorry isn't gonna be able to let me stay." He doesn't reply to this. I hear his feet shuffle down the hall and down the stairs. I flop down on the bed and sit thinking. I can hear my phone go off downstairs but make no attempt to go get it. Five minutes later, Louis' phone goes off on the table behind me. I reach over for it, and see that it's Luke.

"Luke..." I choke out.

"Amber... What happened? I called your phone but..."

"Yeah, I know, I heard it... but Luke... Can you come pick me up from Louis'... I can't be here anymore."

"I told you he was trouble, Amber..."

"That's not why... Management wont let me..." I grumble to him.

"Oh... Amber... I'm coming." He sighs, and I already hear him opening the door through the phone.

"Thanks Luke."

****

I sit in Louis' bedroom, not wanting to go out and see him. I'm sure he's sitting on the couch, or waiting on the stairs for me. I stare out into the darkness outside. I'll have five days away from Louis before we officially start the tour. And then I'll be stuck with him for a long time. Twenty minutes go by before I hear someone coming down the hall.

"Amber... Luke's here." Louis walks away immediately after speaking. It breaks my heart even more. I grab my suitcases and pull them behind me, walking slowly towards the door. I turn and look around one last time before walking out. Down the hall, down the spiral staircase I've come to love. Louis stands at the bottom of the stairs. We stare at each other for one little moment, and I still feel the spark between us. He turns away.

"Sorry Amber." He walks away down the hall. I watch him as he goes.

I take a deep breath before I head through the kitchen and to the door. Outside, it's still storming. Inside, it's storming. My heart, it's storming. My head, it's storming. My feet, they storm out the door without a second glance.

Some tension building up, what's gonna happen next? Hope you all are having a good time in your lives! I still need some good fanfics to read so if you have any COMMENT PLEASE! Thanks guys!
