  Chapter 16: They Don't Know About Us/ Don't Forget Where You Belong
~Time Skip~ ~One Day Before Tour~
Louis' POV
Harry and Melodie keep giving Roselyn and I the look. They knew that we were keeping something secret from them. I knew it was going to be tough to fool them, but I didn't think they'd catch on this quick. We were going to have to tell them sooner or later, and by the looks we were getting it was probably going to be sooner. But for right now they don't know about us. They don't understand the pain, and I want to keep it that way. I don't want any of them to be in pain. It's bad enough that Roselyn is suffering. She's doing better today then she was last night.
Nobody else knows that Roselyn and I are a couple. They still haven't figured it out. We are going today to get our hoodies. She is going to get a red one that says "I'm his" and a purple one that says "In love with an idiot". The second one will have a picture of me screenprinted on the back. I am getting a purple one that says "I'm hers" and a red one that says "I'm in love with an angel". My second one will have a picture of Roselyn on the back.
We left right after breakfast. Harry and Melodie cornered us right before we walked out the door.
"Where the heck do you two think you're going," asked Melodie. She may be small, but she sure is ferocious.
"To the mall to do last minute shopping before we leave tomorrow," Roselyn replies.
"You guys better be back within two hours," Harry demands.
"No promises no lies," I say.
"If you're not we may just spill your dirtiest secrets to the whole world," threatens Melodie.
We just walk out the door and to my car. I toss the keys to Roselyn and get in the passenger seat. She stares at me shocked, then gets in the car.
"You are seriously letting me drive," she asks me surprised.
"I heard you were a really good driver. So I thought Why not let her drive and prove her skills," I tell her.
She starts the car and backs down the driveway. We pull out and head to the mall. I had to admit she is an excellent driver. She might be a little daring, but I am totally ok with that. We arrive at the mall. We get out and head to the design shop. We order the hoodies, and are told that it will be and hour wait. We decide to wander around the mall. We end up spending a good chunk of time in Barnes & Nobles. Roselyn was enjoying browsing the books. She found 10 different books that she wanted, but when she saw the price she put them back. I made a mental note of which books she wanted. We walked over to the Starbucks inside the store. We both ordered our drinks and went to sit at a table. I make an excuse about going to the bathroom, but I actually go and buy the books she wanted. I had to admit that she did have good taste in books. I had been wanting to read some of these for awhile. Those ones I bought two copies of. I walked back over to where Roselyn is still sitting. She looks at my bag confused.
"I found a couple of books I wanted on the way back," I explain simply.
She just nods and continues to sip her Caramel Frappuccino.
Once we had finished our drinks, we headed back to the design shop to pick up our hoodies. Once there we quickly paid and grabbed our hoodies. We only had a half hour to get home and it was about a forty-five minute drive. I let Roselyn drive again. She ended up speeding just a little, but she was good at avoiding cops. She told me that she had practice racing through the streets of Chicago at night. We made it back to the flat with 2 minutes to spare.
"You were really pushing it weren't you," Harry asks the second we walk in the door.
"What ever do you mean? We came back early with two minutes to spare," I say in a posh accent.
"Whatever. Meeting in the living room in ten minutes. Both of you better be there," Harry demands.
Roselyn and I look at each other like what did we do this time. She just shrugs her shoulders. We walk into the living room to see everyone in there. They all have the same serious look on their face. They point at the two chairs that are at the opening of the circle they have formed. We go and sit down.
"We know that you two are hiding something from us, and we want to know what it is," Liam says.
"What are you talking about," I ask.
"Did you think we wouldn't notice you sneaking into Roselyn's room last night? Or that you two have spent a lot of time together," asks Zayn.
"Not to mention I walked in on you guys making out," Niall blurted out.
"What about the bandages on both of your wrists," asks Demi.
"If you guys will just calm down we will explain everything," Roselyn says sadly.

Roselyn's POV
"We were going to wait till tomorrow and surprise you guys, but I guess we will have to show you now," Louis says.
"Show us what," asks Perrie.
We open our bags and pull out the hoodies. We hold them up so everyone can see. It takes them all of two seconds to realize what they are. Once they do the girls start freaking out and screaming, while the boys all hoot and whistle at Louis. Once it calms down they ask about the bandages.
"That still doesn't explain the bandages on your wrists," says Melodie flatly.
"Yesterday I got a lot of hate. It brought back so many memories that I couldn't handle. I was about to cut again when Louis walked in. He tried to reassure me, but the pain was too much. I cut my wrist. As soon as I did it Louis took the razor blade and cut his wrist. He promised that he would always try to protect me, and that whenever I cut he cuts," I explain.
By the time I finish the other girls are crying, and the boys are staring at Louis shocked. They all knew that Louis had a serious side, but they never expected him do to something like this for a girl. Then Selena spoke up making everyone go silent.
"Roselyn I want to be here for you. Whenever you cut I cut," she says.
Pretty soon everyone has made the same promise. They all want me to get better. If I hurt they hurt. They aren't going to let me suffer alone. This was the first time I had ever felt so loved. I knew at that moment that I wasn't alone in the world. I had the best family ever. They may not be blood related, but that didn't matter. Family was a choice, and I am never going to forget where I belong again. No matter what comes my way. No matter if I get all the hate in the world. I am never letting anything come between me and my family again. This is where I belong, and I am never going to forget that.

Hey my roses! All of the secrets are out of the bag in chapter sweet sixteen. I really hope you guys like my story. Please comment and vote. I love you all. If it wasn't for you I would have ended this story long ago. This story has taught me new things about myself that I didn't know. I have put all of my emotions into it. This story is a reflection of how I feel, and each chapter represents my feelings and mood at that point in time. Luv ya Beka <3
