LOUIS POV:

I rolled over in my bed, not wanting to wake up just yet. I opened one eye, and reached to grab my phone.

I looked at the time, nine thirty. I groaned into my pillow, but threw the blankets off of me anyway.

I ran a hand through my hair as I pulled out my favorite red skinny jeans and a random t-shirt.

Walking into the bathroom, I heard the boys talking down stairs. I quickly did my bathroom routine before hopping down the stairs.

"'Sup lads?" I asked as I sat down on a barstool by the kitchen island. The boys all hushed, and I noticed Harry was fiddling with his necklace. Niall was eating, Liam was scrolling through his phone, and Zayn was no where to be seen.

I could've sworn they were all talking five minutes ago.

"What were you guys talking about?" I smiled, poking Harry's stomach. He caught my hand, sending me a sly smile.

"We, lad, were talking about that cute girl at McDonalds." Harry smirked. I drew in a shaky breath.

"What about her?" I asked, trying to cover my emotions up.

"Who is she?" Harry pressed. I heard footsteps in the back of the house, and guessed Zayn heard talk.

"A girl." I said in a duh tone. Liam rolled his eyes, but pretended to still be absorbed in his phone. Niall slapped his hand on my back, causing me to jump.

"Why're you jumpy, Louis?" Niall snickered.

"Yeah? Afraid a secret gonna get spilled?" Harry leaned further on the counter. I rolled my eyes, and leaned back.

"Guys, she's just a girl. Nothing special." I said, hoping they would drop the subject. Harry clicked his tongue.

"What about the kid?" Niall asked.

"What about her?" I asked, thoroughly confused.

"Did you not even look at her?" Harry laughed.

"Yeah, I did. Why?" I asked, looking at the two like they were insane.

"Lou, they're hinting at the possibilities of the girl being yours." Liam explained. I jumped out my chair, almost knocking it over.

"No, no no no. No. It's not even worth considering, she said she's her cousin." I said, then laughed a short laugh. These boys are insane.

"Whatever you say, Louis." Harry said, slapping my shoulder as he walked passed me. Niall nodded his head as he passed me, following Harry.

"Liam." I whined. I looked at him, my eyes wide. I placed a hand on the back of my head. Why did we go to McDonalds again?

"Don't worry about it, Louis. Maybe you should ask her." Liam said, getting up from his chair, and went in the same direction as the other boys. I didn't miss Zayn sneak out, either.

I walked to the island, and banged my head against the counter. There's no way that little girl is mine. Zoe wouldn't lie to me about something that big. She had never been a good liar, unless of course she needed to be.

A corner of my mouth tugged up as I remembered that detail, how she could be anything she needed to be. Anything.

I grabbed my set if keys, and yelled to the boys I was leaving. I hope they don't tell Eleanor...
