Cause I Can Love You More Than This.

Chapter 5

Taylor's P.O.V.

I walked out into the living room and the boys came and hugged me. Niall and I had a brother-sister kinda relationship while the rest of the boys (besides Louis) were good friends.

I saw the look on Niall's face and I could tell he was worried. I ended up hugging him the longest. "You ok Taylor?" he whispered in my ear. "I'm fine Ni," I responded.

We all sat down and relaxed for a while. "So Taylor, how bad was the split between you and Brian?" Liam asked. I got kind of uncomfortable. "I'd, umm, rather not talk about that Liam, if that's alright?" I asked him. "Sorry I asked," he apologized. I nodded and said that it was fine.

"So Taylor do you have to work at all today?" Harry asked. "I work 5 to 12 tonight," I said. "Those hours must suck," Zayn said. "Well they're not to bad. Just tiring," I said. "Well before you go to work, let's go and do something fun," Lou suggested. "Like what?" I asked curiously. "We could go to the park and then walk to your work. They are across the street from each other," Niall suggested.

We all agreed and headed out. I walked closest to Lou and felt different. My feelings for him were growing bit I'm to broken to do anything about it. Plus, what would he even see in a bitch like me?

We arrived at the park and the other four boys ahead of Lou and I were having a snowball fight. Lou and I hid and threw some now and then from different angles to throw them off. It was hilarious.

When they stopped, we came out. i checked my watch, which read 5:30. "Shit I'm late for work. I gotta go," I said heading down the street. "We'll come up later Tay," Lou yelled and I giggled. I think I'm in love with him.

I walked in and acted like I'd been there the whole time. My shift went by slow and by 10, I was exhausted. I used my break at 8 so I couldn't sit down and rest and we were mobbed with customers. I felt the sweat dripping down my neck. I was so tired I though I might pass out.

I called for Sarah and she ignored me. I went back toward her office and I heard something odd. I pressed my ear up against the door and heard moans. I quickly walked away and tried to shake it off.

At 11:30, Lou walked in. I waved him up to the counter. "Hey TayTay, you look exhausted Hun," Lou said. "I am. I feel like I'm about to pass out and I can't leave till the end of my shift, which got extended till 2," I said.

"That's not good. Tell your boss that you need to go," he said. "I tried to go back there but there was a lot of moaning sounds so I didn't. I'm pretty sure she was having sex," I whispered. "Ok, probubly not the best place to do that. Anyway, just leave. There's no one here," he said. "I've tried but Lilly here won't let me," I said.

I was so exhausted I was getting a bit dizzy and Lou noticed. "There over working you Tay," he said. "I know. I can't quit though. This is my only form of income," I said. "Let's go Tay. I don't care if they extended your shift. I'm taking you home," he commanded.

I took my apron off and started to leave. But then Lilly stopped me. "You still have two more hours to work," she said sternly. Lou pushed her aside and we walked out. I was getting light-headed and more tired by the minute. Louis could tell I was exhausted and picked me up. He carried me bridal style to his car. He set me in the car and I fell asleep.

I woke up when the cold air hit me. I shivered as Lou tried to get us inside quickly. We went into the apartment, which ended up being a shocker. Broken glass and shreds of furniture everywhere, parts of the place burned, things taken. We were robbed.

"Oh my god," I heard Lou whisper as I teared up. I was suddenly not so tired. I saw that it was 1:30am. Lou drove around for a while so I could sleep. "Hey, don't cry TayTay," Lou requested sympathetically. I didn't cry yet but I knew I would sooner or later. He set me down and dialed the police.

"Son of a bitch!" he whispered pissed off. "What's wrong Lou?" I asked trying not to cry. "They claimed that they were already here," he said trying to say calm. He knew that I got upset when he got pissed. "Where are we gonna stay?" I asked. "The boys are all staying in one flat. Maybe they'll have room for two more," he suggested.

I shrugged and started looking at the rubble and debris. I found a wall covered in spray paint. It read, "THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. " I motioned Lou over, who was getting off the phone. "The boys are fine with us staying with them," Lou said as he came over. He saw my face and looked worried. "What's wrong?" he asked. I pointed at the wall as the tears finally came out.

He gulped and looked at me, who was looking back and forth between him and the walk in tears. "Shhh.. TayTay, it's going to be ok sweetie,"he whispered in my ear as he hugged me. I started crying and Lou was trying to calm me down. Suddenly, exhaustion started to hit me and I was a bit shaky and dizzy. I was holding Lou tight and he carried me back out to the car.

He set me in the car and hopped in himself. He kept one arm in the steering wheel, the other around me. I felt scared and tired. I silently cried in the car, which Lou was trying to help me stop. We pulled up at the apartment and I tried to stop crying. It wasn't really working.

There was no noise, just a lot of tears. We got out of the car and before we walked into the building, Lou stopped us both. "Please stop crying Taylor. For me, please," he pleaded. He knew I was trying but failing. He sighed and we kept walking.

We got inside and the boys were waiting there worried. "You guys ok?" Ni asked. We nodded and I looked down. "Why are you crying Tay?" Harry asked. I took a shaky breath. "Just a rough few days that's all," I said and tried to wipe my tears away. Lou beat me to it and wiped what was replaced momentarily from my eyes.

"Taylor you've got to be exhausted," Liam said. I was shaky and tired so I nodded, yawning. "Your guys' room is the last one on the left," Zayn said motioning toward the hall. "Thanks guys," I said and headed off to bed. I laid on the bed silent sobbing until Lou came in. I quickly hid my tears and curled up in the blankets.

Lou laid beside me and held me in his arms. I felt more relaxed and comfortable with him. I fell asleep just as I realized something.

I was in love with Louis Tomlinson of the on and only One Direction.

Louis' P.O.V.

I heard Taylor faintly crying as I came toward the room. I walked I and she acted like she hadn't shed a single tear. She curled up in bed and tried to sleep. I laid with her and put my arms around her. She nearly instantly passed out.

I used a few minutes to think before I fell asleep. I thought about when to tell Taylor I loved her and how Harry said I'd know when the time comes. I want to tell her so bad it's eating me up. I want to just go to her and say "I love you TayTay. "

I'm giving it some time though. She just got out of a bad relationship and she needs some time. I feel asleep thinking about her.
