I'm soooooo sorry that this chapter took so long. I hope I didn't lose any readers because of it :( And to anyone who does put up with my slack and continue to read this, you're the best! I had such a busy couple weeks with a wedding, selecting my classes for my upcoming semester, and other stuff. Also this was so hard to write. I hadn't developed an idea, just knew what was going to happen in the end. Getting to that point was difficult but I'm happy with the end result. Plus my favorite part is approaching so I should be totally dedicated from here on in.
Thanks for reading guys, it means so much :) enjoyyyyyy

"Stella..." The knock was harder this time and Louis voice sounded more urgent. "I know you are in there. Alexis told me so... Open the door, Stella, damn it!"
"Of course she did..." I muttered under my breath in annoyance as I pushed myself off the bed and towards the door. Louis had been standing outside my room knocking for a solid two minutes, and I figured if I kept ignoring him he would just go away.
Obviously not.
"Okay, okay. I'm just getting dressed, calm down. Unless you want me to come to the door naked," I grumbled sarcastically. But as soon as I said it I wanted to hit myself.
"I would very much like that," he said smoothly. When I opened the door he was standing there with a very smug look on his face.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
That made his grin grow bigger, until his smirk had taken over his entire face. "You walked into that one," he pointed out.
To which I replied a simple "I know."
"Don't tell Harry I said that... Wouldn't want him getting jealous, would we?" He winked.
I huffed. "Alright get out, I'm ignoring you again!" I said as I tried to shove him out of the entrance.
He rolled his eyes, not budging. "Ah ha, so you were ignoring me then. I knew it...what did I do?"
Truth be told, I had been avoiding him since Harry asked me on a date yesterday. It hadn't proved difficult, he had left to go answer a phone call, and then I didn't see him until we were loading up the buses. He seemed quiet and distant as I watched him with his friends, so it was easy to ignore him them since he didn't seem to have any interest in talking to me anyway. Then we drove all night and through the early morning. I turned my phone off, so he would think it was dead if his texts didn't deliver. This morning I had unpacked then snuck down to the hotel gym.
But of course be had now tracked me down now.
His eyebrows rose, his expression basically saying "well?"
"You didn't do anything," I muttered as I turned and headed back to my bed. I lay down on it and he joined me, our legs tangling into the comfortable position we had gotten used too. I hated that things between us had become awkward.
"Stella..." He whispered gently, tilting his head on the pillow and eyeing me carefully. "Is it because I've been teasing you loads? If it is... I'm sorry. It's just what I'm used to with the lads."
"It's not that." Though I wanted to point out that I wasn't one of the 'lads'.
"But it is something?"
