Why... Me?

Surprises and Confessions ~(*.*)~

“Don’t punch!” I hear Louis exclaim. I slowly lower my fist.

“Sorry, you just really scared me, ever since-“

“Yeah, I know.” Louis says, cutting me off and stepping closer; dropping us into another awkward silence.

“Wha… Whadd’ya come in here for?” I ask, attempting to break the awkward silence.

“Well, I knew you weren’t really mad, ‘cause our personalities are a lot alike. And; I do this joke with the boys a good bit.” Louis replies.

“Wow,” I say, “I didn’t expect a straight answer.”

“Well, what else am I supposed to give you? A crooked one?” he laughs, being playful.

“That’s all Chuck ever gave me.” I whisper, looking towards the floor.

            I feel Louis’ strong arms wrap me in a hug, making me feel safe enough; I finally cry. I cry about everything. My fear for Chuck, and al he put me through. My confusion over Louis and our kiss. I leave nothing to chance, just going ahead and getting everything off of my chest. I don’t know why, but I feel like I can trust him with anything and everything. You all know that feeling you get around someone who you can completely trust?

            A few minutes after I’ve finished talking, and Louis was just holding me in a hug; the boys walk in, worry clear in their expressions.

“What’s wrong, Little Rynn?” Niall asks, concern lacing his voice as he sits beside Louis and I.

“Nothing.” I sniff, sitting up and away from Louis. It didn’t work like I’d planned.

“Nope,” Louis says, grabbing me into a hug again. Though I can’t say I protested much. “My Little Rynn is hurting, and I can’t tell you guys!” he finishes.

            I glance at the boys and see Liam glaring at Louis, Geeze, these boys have issues. I turn my head so it’s against Louis’ chest once more.

“Rynn, you know you can trust us, right?” I hear Zayn ask. I nod my head.

“So, are you going to tell us?” I hear Niall’s sweet, Irish accent once more. I shake my head.

“But you just said you knew you could trust us!” Harry exclaims in an accidental harsh tone, making me flinch. Louis’ grip on me tightens protectively, but not too tight.

“Calm down mate! She was abused, you know this, right?” Louis asks sarcasm clear in his voice. I have a sneaking suspicion that Louis is now glaring at Harry. I glance up quickly to see, and quickly look back, because; surprisingly, Liam is being held back by the other three boys. I feel Louis tense, like he’s getting ready to jump up, but he doesn’t.

“Calm down Liam!’ Harry exclaims, “She doesn’t need to know yet!”That gets my attention, and apparently; it gets Louis’ also, because in a matter of moments we’re both up on our feet.

“You weren’t supposed to say anything!”

“Know what?!” we exclaim at the same time. Everyone freezes as soon as the words leave my mouth.

“Know what?!” I push, becoming angry. I just told Louis E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G! And, all the other boys were pushing me to tell them too, yet they hide something from me. There must be something wrong with their head. “You know what?” I say, my anger coming through, “I thought I could trust you, Louis. I told you everything, yet you all go and hide something from me! I guess I should’ve remembered how bad I am at judging people. Now out. All of you.” a flash of that scary, calm anger running through me.
