Louis' POV

"Where the hell have you been, mate? We've been searching all over!" Harry runs up to me, resting his hand on my shoulder. The crowds have deserted and the rest of the boys are in the van, a few security guards positioned beside it. Barriers are transported away and the red carpet is rolled up. The fallen barrier collapsed by Skylar still remains on the ground, flashbacks replaying continuously in my consciousness. I can't hold it in anymore. Waterfalls of tears cascade down my cheeks as I sob into Harry's shoulder, receiving a comforting hug in return. "You wanna talk about it?" he asks and I shake my head vigorously. After a few minutes, he pulls away and drags me towards the van, "Come on, lets go home." I reluctantly agree and rush to the far window seat, avoiding eye contact with the boys. "You okay?" Niall questions me. I ignore him and stare out of the window, witnessing the first drops of the rain shower.

I keep quiet as the boys discuss up-coming events, drawing attention away from the signing session and I mentally thank them. Once we arrive, I don't wait for the van to stop completely as I jump out of the door and sprint to the apartment. Me and Harry share an apartment and Niall, Zayn and Liam share another, both connecting at the lounge and the kitchen. "Louis, wait!" I hear the boys yell, but I continue to unlock the front door and head for my bedroom. I slam the door behind me, gradually sliding down it, folding on the ground as my hands hold my tear-stained face, weeping in silence.

Sky's POV

"There you are Sky! You had sprinted off before we could even stop you!" Cat jokes, her smile transforming into a frown once I don't reply.

"What's up?" Rikki questions, concern flooding her features.

"Why do you constantly have to be on my case?" I shout, the words slipping out of my mouth before my brain has time to process them. I slap my hand over my mouth as Rikki shoots me a hurt expression. "I'm sorry Ri, I...can we just go home?" She notices that I'm upset, pulling me into a tight hug before heading to the car. The drive home consists of Cat and Rikki singing along to "Love The Way You Lie" and me forcing a smile, giving a completely opposite impression of my emotions. We arrive back at my house, the girls dropping me off before they head back to Rikki's. I thank them as I step out of the car, walking up the path to my front door. As soon as I get inside, I slam the door behind me, gradually sliding down it, folding on the ground as my hands hold my tear stained face, weeping in silence.
