Chapter Sixteen: All I Wanted Was A Hollister Hoodie!

Emily's POV:

"Wakey Wakey, Milly," Someone chuckled, shaking me. I yawned and opened my eyes, slightly blurred. I expected to see Niall, forgetting last nights events, but Louis's charming face grinned down at me, and I remembered.

"Hello, Louster!" I smiled, ruffling his hair.

"Breakfast?" he offered and I nodded eagerly. Louis went downstairs and I changed into a crimson loose sleeveless tee and short blue denim shorts. I sent a quick text to Niall, who of course didn't reply, and padded downstairs with Louis. I was greeted with toast and scrambled eggs.

"Jesus, Louis, you can cook!" I squealed, and cleaned my plate. Best meal I'd had in ages, as Liam and Hannah would squabble over who cooked on tour, and usually ended up making half of it each.

"When Mum's out I cook for Felicite and the girls," he shrugged. Now, why did that attract me so much?

"Where did Florah stay?" I asked through a mouthful of food.

"She went back to tour. Said she wanted to 'sort things out with Harry'." We both smirked.

"I hope my Harry doesn't fall for her. Our bromance is way too close," Louis joked. I laughed. Louis would always make me better.

"Let's go visit Charlie, shall we?" I asked.

"M'lady?" Louis grinned, offering me an arm. I whacked it.

"This isn't the nineteenth century, Lou-Lou," I reminded.

"Darling, you have got your timeline seriously warped!" Louis said. I swatted him.

"You know, your birthdays in like, two weeks!" I said happily.

"I know. Come on, let's get into the car," we climbed into my Mini Cooper, and drove to the hospital. I didn't ask for her room, I knew it now.

"Charlie!" I shouted, but was greeted by an empty bed. Panic filled me. Did she die? If she died last night, without me, I would never forgive myself.

"Where's Charlotte Brooke?" I asked a passing nurse.

"She was released this morning," she smiled, and relief spread through me.

"Is she fit to go out?"

"I believe she has bruised ribs and a broken leg, but I think she is fit to go outside, yes," The nurse nodded.

"Why?" Louis asked me.

"What, you don't want a shopping spree?" I asked innocently. Louis laughed.

••••••••••••••

"Sweet Jesus!" Charlie exclaimed, as we climbed out of my car. It seems the whole world knew that me and Louis had decided to come shopping, as we were met with flashing phones and hoodies and papers. I posed with the peace sign, hoping they'd let me go, but no such luck.

"Run!" Louis yelped, and he picked up Charlie. We ran to the safe haven of Hollister. I let Charlie roam around on her crutches, and as I breathed in the signature Hollister smell that Louis bathes in, I felt a sudden calm.

"Can we fall? On more time?

Stop the day, and rewind!" my loud ringtone sounded out. I glanced at it. Niall Horan. My heart leapt. Part of me wanted to ignore him and turn the tables on him, but another part wanted to answer. That part won.

"Hey, Nialler!"

"Hi, Emily." He said.

"Babe, who you talking to?" A familiar voice chimed from his line. I couldn't place the voice, but I knew her, I know I did.

"Who's that?" I asked fiercely. "Who?"

"Why do you care?" he said, a sulky and rough edge to his tone. "You've got Louis."

"WHAT?!" I exclaimed. "Is this why you've been all bastardly towards me?"

"You going to hook up with Louis, so I took a step ahead. That's Florah." Niall said.

"Lemme get this straight. You hate me and hooked up with FLORAH to spite me because you're jealous of me and Lou?" I asked in disbelief. My Louis wasn't doing any harm! Wait, did I just call him MY Louis?

"Yes and no." I could almost see his stupid smirk. "Florah came to cheer me up. I decided if you get Louis, I get Florah."

"YOU BASTARD!" I screamed as loud I as I would be able to in a shop. "I hate you! You're nothing but a heartbreaker. I'm never talking to you again! You know, Louis is much better a friend than you will EVER be!"

"Oh, touché!" he said sarcastically.

"We're through! Again!" I yell, and press End Call. A couple of tears escaped my eyes and I breathed in the calming perfume. I just got him back! I just got him back, and now he broke me again. Again!

"Emily, what's up?!" Louis asked, and gave me a hug.

"Niall's ch-cheating on me. With Florah!" I sobbed. Louis' face hardened.

"Again? I'm going to kill him."

"But, Florahs prettier than me. No wonder he.." I trailed off.

"Emily Dsmirks, you're the prettiest girl I've ever met. Niall is demented to want ANYONE over you, okay? I promise. Don't ever feel that way, babe, I'm your best friend, I know you better than anyone. I know your favourite colour is secretly green like me. I know you're totally in love with Nialls cat Ally. I even know you liked Harry for a bit during your time dating Niall. I know I'm lucky to meet you and you're beautiful. Okay?" Louis said, looking desperate. He looked into my eyes, his beautiful blue eyes slightly drowning me. That's when I kissed him, his warm lips resting on mine, a warm calmness inside me.

"You know, all i wanted was a Hollister hoodie, but this will do!"
