*Louis P.O.V*

I wondered why she left in such a hurry. I wondered if it was something that I said. She seemed even more quiet and shyer than before, if that was even possible.

I don't even know why I cared? What was it about her that made me want more? She barely even spoke, but I heard everything I needed to hear. I was almost upset that she left. No. I'm not upset. I don't care. This is all just a challenge...Right?

*Haydens P.O.V*

I could barely sleep. The pain in my shoulder was so gut reneging that I was up most of the night. I had no idea how I was supposed to hide the pain while working with Louis.

I finally decided to crawl out of bed. I thought a hot shower would soothe my tense muscles. It hurt so bad to wash over my bruise. The slightest touch made me cringe in pain. I got out of the shower and examined my bruise. It was about the size of a baseball. It was a dark purple with a ring of yellow around the edges. I did my best to cover it up with foundation.

I threw my hair up into a messy bun. I didn't bother putting on any make up, I was only going to Louis' house. I put on my yoga pants and an old T-shirt as I remembered I might get dirty. I slipped on my converse and was out the door.

*Louis P.O.V*

I heard a knock on my door. I quickly turned off my radio which was blasting a song by The Script. I walked down stairs and opened the door. There was Hayden. The first thing I noticed about her was her eyes. They were all puffy, an she had huge bags under them. I didn't think much if it, maybe she had allergies.

"Hey." I said smiling.

"Hi." She said back with a half smile.

"We'll c'mon in." I said gesturing with my arm for her to come inside.

She came inside and followed me up to my room. Her eyes immediately looked at the painting. She actually smiled. A full smile.

"Wow! I can tell you added some more, it looks amazing." She said staring at the painting.

"Yeah, I couldn't help myself. I had so many ideas and I couldn't stop." I said.

"We'll it looks really good." She said as she walked over to my bed. She sat down on the corner of my mattress and pulled out her pink laptop.

"I thought I would start on the research while you finish the painting. If that's alright with you." She said shyly.

"Of course, that sounds good." I said smiling back.

I was so deep into thought while working on our painting I hadn't noticed that it had already been an hour and a half.

"Hey Hayden do you want to take a loo-" I stopped mid sentence when I noticed she had fallen asleep.

I couldn't blame her she looked like she hadn't slept in days when she came over this morning.

I didn't want to disturb her so I put the covers over her being careful not to wake her and went back to the painting.

*Hayden's P.O.V*

I looked at my clock which read 2:24 am. I quietly walked downstairs to get myself a glass of water. I opened the fridge and grabbed the pitcher of water. I

closed the fridge and saw a shadowy figure standing behind me. I knew exactly who it was. The pitcher was suddenly smacked out of my grasp. I gasped at the sudden motion.

I turned to face my father, his eyes full of rage, his breathing heavy. He grabbed me by my shirt.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked in his raspy voice.

"I was..I was just..g..getting some w..water." I said my voice trembling.

His hand met my nose with such force. I could instantly feel the warm blood trickle down my face. The pain was unbearable. Just then he started calling my name, over and over.

"Hayden, Hayden, HAYDEN!"

I saw his mouth saying the words but his voice didn't sound like his voice. It almost sounded like...Louis' voice.

"Hayden, Hayden, HAYDEN!" I woke up...in an unfamiliar bed..to Louis saying my name. It was all a dream. I fell asleep, in Louis' bed...Oh god.

*Louis' P.O.V*

"Hey, I was downstairs when I heard you screaming. I ran up here but you were still asleep. Were you having a bad dream?" I asked her.

She just stared at me. Startled. Her mouth slightly open like she was about to say something, but the words never came.

"Hayden, are you alright? Do you want a glass of water?" I asked.

She just nodded in response. I went downstairs to get her a drink. When I came back upstairs, she was standing up, walking around the room. I walked in and handed her the water.

"Here you go." I said smiling,

"Thanks." She said smiling back and grabbing the water.

There was a bit of a silence before Hayden finally said something.

"How long was I asleep?" She asked.

"For about two hours. I finished the painting while you were out.

Her face lit up. "Ooh! Let me see!" She said actually sounding happy.

I walked her over and showed her my work. "Here it is, be honest, what do you think?" I asked her.

"Louis, it is perfect! It looks exactly like the original painting!" She said.

And then she did something I was not expecting...she hugged me. It was just a little hug, only about 2 seconds long, but it still sent chills down my spine.

I don't know why but I wanted the hug to last longer. I don't even know why. Maybe it was because she was so beautiful. Or maybe it's because she is unlike any other girl.

Most girls fall all over me and then the next morning they're gone. She hasn't even shown the slightest interest in me, and I bet she didn't feel anything when she hugged me. Snap out of it Louis.

"So, we have been working for a long time, well actually I have been working and you have been busy dozing off." I said smirking.

That actually made her laugh. "Well for your information I didn't get much sleep last night." She said to me with some attitude.

"Okay okay no need for the tone." I said back laughing.

She laughed and sat down on the corner of my bed again.

"Anyway so what do you say we take a break and go for a swim in my pool?" I asked her, hoping she would say yes.

"Oh umm..sure, just let me run home and get my suit." She said. And I mentally smiled, picturing her in her swimsuit.
