Chapter 3

I sat down next to Liam on the couch, and he turned to face me. "Megan... You really think Louis forgot about you?" He asked, his visage soft and caring. I hesitated and replied, "Yeah... I do. He hasn't talked to me in three years, Li." I looked down at the couch, twiddling my thumbs together. Louis had no idea what he had missed in those 3 years. "Listen. I want you to come see the boys again- especially Louis-" I was about to interrupt Liam, but he glared at me sternly. I had never seen Liam this upset. "We're staying in London for a little while. You should come down and visit... And things need to be sorted out with you and Louis." As Liam looked me in the eye, he could tell something was wrong.

"Megan... What's wrong?" He asked me, placing his hand on my shoulder caringly. I always opened up to Liam... And that hadn't changed. Liam was so gentle and kind with me, and I could talk to him about anything. I'm not a confrontational type of person, so I would ask Liam to talk to Louis whenever we got into an argument or fallout. It seemes like Louis had done the same here- oh, how the tables have turned. I looked back at Liam. "So much has changed... I'm not the same person. Louis doesn't want me, Liam. I'm just a burden." Liam firmly grasped my shoulders, and his eyes stared deeply into mine. "Megan Diana Henderson, don't you ever say that ever again. You're worth everything to me, and even more so to Louis." I looked at Liam, shocked. He had remembered my middle name. They really were shocking me today.

Liam and I drove to the penthouse flat that the boys were staying in, and we caught up with each other. Liam and I laughed a good half of the ride, but when we pulled into the penthouse's driveway, he looked at me sternly. "Megan, you and Louis have to sort this out yourself. I'm not mediating. It's between you and him, nobody else." I nodded in affirmation at the statement Liam had just told me. I was going to be in a room with Louis until we sorted everything out... Great...

We made our way up to the front door, Liam carrying my duffel bag for me as he locked the car's doors. He unlocked the penthouse door, and we entered, closing it behind us. Liam set my bag down next to the staircase that went up to the second floor with the bedrooms. I heard voices faintly down a corridor, and Liam walked into the family space and found a sleeping Harry. "Haz!" I laughed, shaking him awake as Liam told me to do. Harry stirred and woke up, and his eyes widened as he saw me. "Megan... It's great to see you again. I really missed you." I smiled as I hugged Harry and said, "I missed you, too- all of you..." A small smile crept onto my face as Zayn and Niall came running towards me, dogpiling on me. I laughed and hugged each of them, and Liam coughed to get my attention. He signaled for me to follow him, and I knew that Louis was in a room waiting for me. I followed Liam down the hall, and he opened the last door on the left. As it creaked open, I began trying to think of what I would say to Louis. As thoughts formed in my head, I looked up to see the piercing blue eyes that I was all too familiar with.

Those piercing blue eyes belonged to Louis.
