My Life With Payne

Out Of The Blue

"That is adorable." I commented.  "It really is." Hanna agreed with me.  "Thanks." Maddy was blushing.  "What about you Char?  How did you and Liam start dating?" Hanna asked curiously.  "That's a different story for a different day." Liam told her. "I feel alone right now." Louis said.  "It's okay Lou, we all love you." I got up and hugged him.  "Yeah Boobear, you'll always have me." Harry followed and kissed his forehead.  "Haz, Char cut it out.  You're only doing this because you feel bad for me.  I'm just the single one in the background.  Don't mind me." he got up and ventured up the stairs.  "Louis.  Don't be stupid." Harry and I followed close behind.

He slammed my bedroom door in our faces, locking it behind him.  "Lou, open the door." Harry slammed his fist on it.  "Not gonna happen." Louis spoke through the door.  "It's my room, you can't stay in there forever." I crossed my arms and started at the door handle.  "Who said?" he responded.  "We could always break down the door." Harry suggested.  "You wouldn't." Louis said.  "You know I would." Harry smirked.  "I'm still not opening the door." Louis concluded.  "Fine, be that way." I answered.  "We'll wait." Harry sat down and leaned up against the wall.  "How long do we have to wait for?" I asked impatiently.  "You know Lou, he'll open the door any second now." Harry said.  "Never!" Louis yelled through the door.  "Suit yourself.  We'll be right outside when you decide to grow up." Harry said calmly.  "I am grown up!" Louis yelled again.  "Because arguing about being grown up totally proves that you're grown up." I said.  "What?" Harry asked.  "Yeah what?" Louis asked also.

"Nevermind." I ended the confusion.  "You're still not coming in." Louis restated.  "Fine, we'll just go downstairs." Harry stood and made it look like he was walking away.  "Have fun pouting." I followed Harry's lead.  "Wait." Louis unlocked the door.  Harry and I mentally high-fived each other.  "You gonna talk now?" I asked as we entered my room.  "Yes." Louis sat down on my bed.  Harry sat on one side of him, me on the other.  "So what exactly was that about?" I asked, taking Louis' hand in mine.  "Everyone's so happy in relationships and I'm all alone.  I hold you all back." he said.  "Who said you were holding us back?" Harry asked.  "No one did, I just know it." Louis looked down and squeezed my hand in his lap.  "We'll I'll be the first to say that you're not holding any of us back." I smiled.  "You don't have to be in a relationship to be happy Lou." Harry said.  "True, but you two seem so happy with Liam and Hanna.  I want to be happy for that reason." Louis said.  "And in time you'll find the right girl." I assured him.  "Really?" Louis looked to me with hopeful eyes.  "I'm sure of it, and if for some strange reason it doesn't happen.  Know that you'll always have us." I said.  

"You're the best Char." Louis hugged me.  "And Hazza." Harry fake coughed.  "That was implied.  You'll always be my Hazza." Louis played with one of Harry's curls.  "And you'll always be my Boobear." Harry smiled.  "See?  Bring single isn't bad.  You can date around, never being confined to one person until you're ready." I said.  "You guys are right.  Thanks.  I don't know why I'm moping around.  I'm single, let's party!" he stood up and started dancing around.  "Lou, not to burst your bubble, but you're not legal in bars here." I said, breaking the bad news.  "I forgot that.  I'll party it up in the living room!" he ran out of the room Superman style.  "What are we going to do with him?" I laughed, shaking my head.  "You're asking me?" Harry asked.  "No, I'm asking Liam." I said sarcastically.  "Really?  When did Liam get here?" Harry looked around the room.  I wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic or not.  I sure hope so, we don't need another Louis.  "We should probably follow him." I said standing.  "Why's that?" Harry asked.  "I have a feeling he's going to break something, or someone." I said.  Harry sprinted down the stairs.

"Watch this.  I can fly!" I walked in the living room to a blanket tied around Louis' neck like a cape.  There's so much wrong with him.  "No Louis, you can't.  Stop being stupid." Liam and Harry were standing in front of him on the couch.  "I'm not being stupid!  Move out of my way!" Louis tried moving them, instead he fell backwards off the couch.  "Yeah, you can fly." Harry said sarcastically.  "What is going on in here?" I asked.  "What did you tell Louis?" Liam turned to me.  "Not that he can fly." I made sure I couldn't be blamed for this.  Louis still hadn't emerged from behind the couch.  "Lou, you alright?" Harry leaned over the back of the couch and looked down.  "Just peachy.  Can you help me up?" I saw Louis stick his arm up in the air.  Harry chuckled and took his hand.  "Sucker!" Louis pulled Harry's arm towards him, causing Harry to go over the edge of the couch.
