We hit 5k!!! I'm so thankful for you people.

*Harry's Pov*

"Anyone care to tell me what the fuck just happened in there?" I glanced over at the golden eyes staring at me from the passenger seat,"Anyone?" I looked into the rearview mirror at the three boys in the backseat.

Zayn looked down at his hands guiltily as Niall and Liam attempted to comfort Marcel.

"Neither of you want to talk?" They both knew exactly who I was referring to and why I was angry. Of course I was mainly talking to Zayn for initiating the fight, and partly to Marcel who entertained Louis' foolishness.

When we came to a stop light I ripped my hair out of it's obnoxious knots. Why did I even think we would be able to handle this like adults?

We continued to drive in silence. Images of Louis standing in that room, heartbroken and crying kept filling my head.

Maybe we shouldn't have left him. But what the fuck was I supposed to do? When it comes down to it, I had to protect Marcel. And as much as I would love for them to work it out, nothing was going to be resolved like that.

Suddenly, a loud clap came from the back if the car causing everyone to be broken out of their thoughts.

"I say, we have a bro's night! Like how we used to, in the Styles' basement." Ni just seemed to be trying entirely too hard.

He rubbed Marcel's shoulder,"It will be fun!" It was obvious he really just wanted to cheer Marcy up.

Liam hesitantly spoke up,"Ye-yeah, that's a great idea! What do you think Marcel?" He gave the sad boy a playful poke to the cheek.

Marcel just shrugged and continued to stare forward.

And then it was silent again.

I looked over at Zayn, who returned the gesture. We both rolled our eyes, and I turned back to the road.

~~~~~

"No! You have got it all wrong! Harry your part is supposed to be a high note!"

"How do you expect me to hit that Marcel?"

"You can do it!" He laid his head back onto Zayn's shoulder and motioned for Niall to continue playing.

The blonde lad began strumming his guitar again.

I cleared my throat and tried again,"Can we fall one more time? Stop the tape and rewind. Oh and if you walk away I know I'll fade, 'cause there is nobody else. It's gotta be you!"

The boys erupted in applause and Liam ruffled my curls.

"You guys all sound freaking amaze, who knew you could all sing?" Liam shouted excitedly while changing into his hot pink onesie.

How did he know to pack a bag? Wait, they all have bags. Did they plan this?

"You really wrote that Marcy?" Zayn nudged his boyfriend who giggled and nodded in response.

"There are tons more where that came from." He mumbled into Zayn's chest.

I knew Marcy could write, but I never knew just how well.

"Hey, we should form a band! And Marcy here could be our songwriter!" I ran over to the couch, flopping down next to the couple.

"I will not participate in a boy band, I'm going to get famous by shaking my goodies!" Leeroy started twerking, terribly might I add, in the middle of the floor.

Niall slapped his butt, causing Lee to yelp.

"And what shall we call this band, boys? Because if I'm going to be in a boy band-"

"Man band." I cut Zayn off to correct him.

"Man band, then it has to be cool."

Niall jumped up from his position on the floor,"Oh! Let's call it Marcel's Angels!"

We all stared at him with shocked faces as he waited for a reaction.

I shook my head,"Never in a million years..." He sat back down in a huff next to Liam.

I noticed that they have become very close friends lately. It's actually kind of sweet, how they act like brothers.

"How about the fabtastic four?" Leeroy was next to give a terrible name.

"Was that even a real suggestion?" Liam threw a handful of popcorn at his brother, who just sneered and ate what landed on him.

"I ha-have an idea?" Expecting eyes all turned to Marcel as he finally spoke up,"How about One Direction. Because we have no where to go but up?"
