Insecurities

Chapter Fourteen

Harrys POV:

     Miranda's the only one who hasn't treated me any different since the big reveal if anything she's treated me better. The only person she's every really talked to had been Liam. He's the only one that she's allowed into her family life other than Niall. She's a beautiful girl and Niall loves her bits, there are times when we've all seen her with her guard down but it's a rarity.  During our days on X Factor we had met her when her and two of her younger sibling entered as girl group and they later went on to win and they're going to be releasing their first single in the next two weeks. Miranda is still as close to her siblings as ever and rarely ever do they leave her side, she's always so reluctant to let any of them wander off, it's actually quite endearing. We had just spent the day with her sisters and brother and she had insisted that we go over to Nialls so I can try and fix the band. Or really so I can try and fix the relationship that I have with all of them. She had forgotten to mention that all of them are here so here I stand looking like a complete idiot as Bailey once again gets up and leaves after I came into the room. Surprise, surprise. It takes everything in me not to laugh when I look over at my new friend and see that she's doing a kind of jabbing motion to her as she picks up her bag from by me but she stops shortly after Niall gives her a disapproving look. Even though there is an age gap between the two of them they seem to balance each other out perfectly. She brings out the serious side of the blonde while keeping the bubbly boy burning bright. I allow my eyes to move to my roommate for a moment but he pays me no mind like he has for the past week. We don't talk anymore and he always leaves the room shortly after I enter unless it's to keep up appearances. Anger burns me to my core when I think about how everything had been going so perfectly until I decided to be a good person and apologize to the foolish, selfish little girl.

"What was she doing here?" Miranda speaks up still sitting upon Nialls lap pointing towards the door and Louis head snaps in her direction ready for the attack with his teeth baring. I know that he can't stand her and now that we've grown closer and Louis and I have grown apart I feel the need to protect her instead of laughing at the jokes that he makes about her. 

"What are you doing here?" He asks looking her up and down and all of his features showing how disgusted he feels and I want to hurt the lad. A stare down commences between the pair and Louis doesn't even flinch when Niall yells his name is disapproval. I suppose he's so used to hearing it because this happens every time the two are in the same room.

"Nobody asked you to be here and especially not the asshole at the door so why don't the two of you leave?" He says allowing a smirk to spread across his face knowing that he's hurt the poor girl. She always tells Niall how upset she gets thinking that his friends don't like her and when it comes to Louis she is right on the dot. 

"For your information, we came here to fix this idiotic fight between all of you." Her voice falters and I know that she's try with all of her might to be strong. Niall stiffens at her words - actually all of them do. - and his lips thread themselves into a thin, tight line.

"If we wanted your help wench we'd ask for it." He says standing up and brushing his hands off on his trousers looking more amused then ever.

"Alright Louis that's enough." Niall says but Louis pays him little to no attention. I see Miranda crumbling at Louis verbal attack and I want to slap some sense into him. For a guy with four sisters he has no idea how to treat women. In truth I've only ever seen Louis treat Miranda like this and tends to call her the nickname that only her siblings and Niall call her and she always walks around with her fingers in her ears telling him to cut it out but he only follows her screaming it at the top of his lungs like a child. So many things that Louis did that I used to find funny now get on my nerves like nobodies business.
