Melanie

"So, you said you'd beat her up?" Harry smirked at me as he laid on my bed, shoving chips into his mouth.

"No-we'll not exactly. But if she keeps making her dumb comments about my daughters figure and what I should and shouldn't feed her I just might have to." I raised my eyebrows giving a slight shrug smiling at him.

"Melanie, you can't take offense to things Eleanor says. She's an idiot. Like you said, it's just dumb comments. Do you know how many times a day she tells me I shouldn't eat something. I mean why do you think I'm eating these in here?" He said rolling his eyes while waving the bag of chips in my face.

"Okay but Belle is almost three so definitely not appropriate. And you wanna know what this is the second time she's saying something like that so if I need to punch this bit-"

"Okay, Mel I get it. I really do trust me. But Eleanor is going all crazy about it out their because that's how she is and her talking and blabbing ruins everyone else's night too so please just ignore her presents like the rest of us have learned to do for now." Harry practically begged cutting me off.

I laughed laying down next to him putting my hand out hinting I wanted the chips pasted over to me, understanding my signals he handed them over putting his hands on to his jeans.

"So on to new topics, we should be in Dallas by the morning. I think we're going to be their for the whole day just to look around and tour around tomorrow and after that we have a concert two nights in a row." Harry told me, laying his head in his hands combing them through this hair.

"Oh that reminds me our hair stylist and makeup artist Lou is gonna meet with us before the concert to talk to you about getting a job with her as an assistant." He said looking up at me. I nodded my head to confirm I understood "Okay sounds good to me, thank you, I really needed this for extra money to save up. "

Harry titled his head to the side and sat up. "Mel you know the guys and I love you, we got you no matter what." He said as I sat up and hugged him tightly.

"I know, I just feel like I'm in the way. I don't want anyone thinking I'm taking advantage." I told honestly had Harry gave me a disapproving head shake.

"Mel, shut up." Harry chuckled as I shook my head and laughed.

"Anyway, the lads are playing Xbox right now and I think the witch had most likely calmed down and most likely retreated to her room if you'd like to." Harry told me as I shook my head.
"I think we're alright in here for now." I replied to him as he shrugged.

"You can't stay locked up here forever Melanie. It's not fair to you or Belle. Don't let Eleanor get to you like this." He told me sternly.

"It's not just her. Louis is so difficult to be around, not to mention the other boys. Even my own brother they'd take Louis side in a heart beat, I just feel out of place and alone." I admitted playing with a piece of my hair.

"You're definitely not alone here. It's just hard, you have to realize you left all of us in the dark four almost four years and all we had was Louis side of the story,someone who is a brother to us all."  Harry tell me placing a hand onto my leg for reassurance.

"It's just all suck a mess right now, I feel like I can't talk to anyone, no offense." I said awkwardly as Harry but his bit.

"Well I'd hope you'd could feel like you could talk to me about anything, but maybe if you came out of the room and tried to socialize a little bit you could get closer to the boys again." He told me as I shook my head.

"Eventually yeah but for now, I'm just gonna stay in here, it's Bella's bed time anyway." I said looking over at the sleepy girl laying next to me with her eyes half shut.

"Well I guess I'll leave you two to rest then." Harry spoke sitting up on the bed looking over at us.

"You can stay for a little bit-if you want to. We could watch a movie?" I suggest to him as he gave me a small smile. Not able for me to tell if it was fake or not.

"Sure let me just get changed. Want me to make popcorn?" He asked standing up unbuttoning the first to buttons on his shirt.

"Yeah sure, sounds good." I told him as I watched him walk out shutting the door behind him.

Waiting a little bit, I soon came to the conclusion Harry wasn't coming back. Seeing it didn't take twenty minutes to change clothes and make a bag of popcorn.

A bit disappointed I sit up and turn the light off, having just the telly's light glow up the room, almost giving it a blue hew.

Placing my feet onto the floor I stretch my arms out letting a yawn escape my mouth.

Walking over to the small dresser I pull out a fresh long shirt and slowly pulled off my shirt and pants dropping it all to the floor and sliding my clean long shirt onto me.

"Melanie are you still aw-oh my god!" Harry suddenly shouted dropping the bowl of popcorn letting it spill all over the wood floor as I gasped in embarrassment immediately turning around and quickly pulling my shirt down to cover my exposed body.

" I didn't see anything I swear!" Harry said as I looked at him wide eyed still in shock.

"Okay- maybe some side boob but that's it I swear!" He confesses as I covered my face.

"Oh my god Harry!" I whispered yelled at him, as I stood in my long grey shirt that barley covered my exposed legs.

"Lad are ya alright?" A strangely yet familiar voice called out. As soon enough he appeared right into my doorway behind Harry.

"Uh.." Harry let out trying to say something but just kept staring at me while I felt his cold pair of eyes soon land on me too.

"What happened with the popcorn?" Louis asked his voice sending shivers down my spine, as I watched him take a small step into the room looking around from the floor, to Me, and finally to the bed where Belle was passed out cold. Making me immediately tense.

"We're fine Harry was just leaving, yup." I said shoving Harry out the door.

"But the popcorn?" Louis asked strangely so concerned about it.

"It's fine the dog can clean it up, Okay night." I said quickly continuing to push them out and shutting the door behind them before they could even look back at me.

"But we don't have a dog?" Harry voice could be heard through the door slowly hearing the two boys foot steps walk away.
