Catfish: Two People Already in Love

Chapter 26

Lauren POV

Eleanor and Edward stare at each other as they lay next to each other on a palet in front of the couch. I smile and lean into Louis. He wraps his arm around me and kisses the top of my head. I jump when the door bangs open whacking the wall causing the babies to start screaming. Quickly I scoop them both up holding them close as we enter the foyer to see who was there. Chey stares at me with red puffy eyes and mascara streaked cheeks. 

"Oh my god what happened!" I say as Louis grabs her bags taking them back to Kayle's old room. 

"Me and Niall broke up." She sniffs collapsing on the couch. I set down next to her rocking gently trying to calm down the squaling infants in my arms. She watches them and a small smile appears on her face. "He looks like El."

"yeah he has her eyes." I say lightly. "He looks just like Louis when he's pissed off though." 

She laughs.

"You want to hold one of them?"

"sure." She says gently taking Eleanor from my arm. I cradle Edward against my chest and hum quietly. "She looks like you."

"I'm glad she does too. I don't know how I could deal with it if she looked like her father." I mutter and she nods as Louis joins us. 

"What'd Niall do?"

"We got in a fight because I got drunk and let Ashton kiss me. I thought he was Niall. We got in this huge fight and I left." She mutters cooing to Eleanor. Louis sighs and gets up. 

"I'm going to call him. You know now that he's sober he's going to be freaked out because he doesn't know if you're safe." Chey nods as he disapears. My heart aches for my best friend. I hope they'll work this out.

Louis POV

I plop down on the bed as I dial Niall's number. It was late over there but god knows he's probably up freaking out.

"Hello?" His frantic voice comes through the speaker. 

"Niall chill out." I say rolling my eyes. 

"Is Chey there?"

"Yea she's here. She's a mess Niall. You really fucked up."

"We both did. She kissed Ashton!"

"She fucking thought it was you dick head." I snap. "Calm the fuck down. If you want her back you're going to have to forgive her and try to get her to forgive you too. You know it scares the shit out of her when you're mad like that. It reminds her of her damn bastard father. She doesn't deserve to get the same shit from you. So you need to chill the fuck out and try to make this right."

"I know Louis I know. We have some issues we need to work out. I just- I need her to come home. I can't sleep, I'm a fucking mess Lou."

"And you think she isn't! She looks like she's been through hell and back Niall."

"Fuck. I can't do this I'm coming over there. I have to talk to her."

"Ni I don't think that's the best idea right now. Just call her and speak to her. I'm pretty sure she's not ready to face you just yet." I say and he sighs angrily. 

"You're right. I'm going to call her. I'l talk to you later Lou bye." He says quickly and hangs up. Sighing I wander back to the living room as Chey's phone goes off. 

"Go talk to him Princess. I'll take Eleanor." I mutter pulling our baby girl from her arms. She gets up and walks away cautiously answering the phone. Lauren looks at me sadly. "They have some issues to work through definately."

"I know."

Chey POV

Curling up on the bed I press the phone to me ear.

"Hello?" I whisper my voice hoarse. 

"Princess I'm so sorry! Please I'm so fucking sorry. I overreacted you were drunk I was drunk I shouldn't have said those things. Please come home. Please." He says frantically. 

"Niall I'm sorry too but I can't come back." I whisper tears in my eyes. 

"Baby please I'll be better. I swear I'll stop yelling. I know it upsets you I don't know why I keep doing it. You deserve better. Please. Please come back." He whimpers and it breaks my heart. 

"Niall..." I sigh leaning my head back against the headboard. "I can't keep doing this. I can't deal with you yelling all the time."

"I'll stop I promise. I-I can't lose you. I love you so much. Please come home." He whispers. 

"Niall I'll come home in a week." I mutter. 

"A week? Why?"

"Because I haven't seen Lauren since I left I miss her. I want to stay and visit. Our niece and nephew are adorable. I want to hang around with them for a bit." 

"Oh uh do you mind if I come over there?" He whispers nervously. 

"Ni.."

"Please Princess. I can't sleep without you." He mutters and I sigh. 

"I know the feeling." I whisper. "Hurry up and get your ass over here. I miss you."

"I'm on my way baby. I love you." 

"I love you too Niall. Bye." I whisper and hang up. Sighing I push myself off the bed and pad barefooted back to the living room curling up in the armchair. Louis and Lauren look at me carefully. "He's coming over here. We're going home next week."

"You're sure Chi Chi?" Lauren asks cautiously.

"Yea I'm sure. I love him. It's hard to be away from him." I mutter and they nod. 

"As long as you're happy I'm okay with it. But he yells at you like that again so help me I will castrate him while he sleeps." Lauren snaps and I giggle. 

"I'm going to shower and go to bed. I'll see you guys in the morning." I mutter wandering off down the hall. I shower quickly and throw myself into bed quickly checking my phone. 

My flight lands at 5 am. will you come get me? -Niall.

I'll be there.

love you.-Niall

I love you too.

Tossing my phone on the table I fall asleep only to me rudely awakened by my alarm. I throw my hair up in a bun before yanking on some sweats and my jacket. I tiptoe out of the apartment and catch a cab to the airport. I wander through the airport searching for his gate. Taking a seat I watch for his blonde hair in the crowd. His face appears above the crowd as he jumps searching for me. I grin standing up and shoving through the crowd towards him. I know I'd only been gone for like 2 days but I missed him. I slam into him and his arms wrap around me. I sigh happily melting into him crashing my lips to his. He moans happily hugging me tightly. 

"Don't. Ever. Do. That. To. Me. Again." He says between kisses. I giggle and nod. 

"I'm not going anywhere. And if I do I'll come back you may be a pain in my ass but I love you too fucking much to let you go." I whisper kissing him again. He smiles and holds me close as we move through the airport to get his luggage.
