Chapter 7

Louis' P.o.v

Liam and I decided that we all needed time to bond together instead of separately. Spending time apart from each other and the girls wasn't working out as well as we had hoped, so we're trying something new. The girls would hate it, but it's the only way we can get them to cooperate with us, especially since our tour is coming up.

"Madee, love, come up here please."

"Hello," she said suspiciously.

"What do you think about all of us going camping for some bonding time?"

She raised her eyebrows and scowled.

"I think that's a terrible idea. I can barely stand being around one of you, let alone all of you!"

"BOYS, MADEE SAID ITS A LOVELY IDEA! PACK YOUR BAGS!" I yelled.

Madee stormed back downstairs. I laughed.

Sophia's P.o.v

The hickey Harry had given me was finally fading and the girls had no idea. I felt bad for keeping secrets from them but they would kill me if they found out it happened.

"I'm pissed," Madee scoffed.

"What did Lou say?" I asked curiously.

"He asked me if it was a good idea for us to all go camping together. I told him no but he told the boys I said it was a good idea."

"So we're going camping?" Faith said.

"Yes that's what I said."

"We need Peyton back," I whined.

"Niall is bringing her over at noon."

"Do you think they have a thing? They spend more time together than we do with the boys."

"Faith, what makes you think she has something with Niall. If anything it's with Harry, she obviously kissed him." Madee stated.

I shifted uncomfortably at her statement.

"I hope she doesn't have anything with any of these boys. That's probably the worst thing she could do." I said.

"We could ask her when she gets here."

"Right, like she would tell us if she kissed Harry." Madee spat.

Niall's P.o.v

"What about this one? It's pretty." I asked.

"Niall. I don't wear dresses."

"But you need something fancy for when we go to dinner parties and stuff."

"Fine. Give me the stupid dress."

Peyton grabbed the dress from my hands and stomped over to the dressing room. It was cute.

When she opened the dressing room door, all hell broke loose. She stood there picking herself apart "My legs look fat" "This dress makes me look ten times uglier than I already am." I couldn't take it anymore.

"Peyton get over here. Now." I used a tone to show I wasn't messing around.

She stood in front of me with her hands on her hips. She looked the other way and wiped the tears off her cheeks.

"You can't stand there and tear yourself to shreds. You are a beautiful girl, everything about you is beautiful. There is no reason why you should be self conscious. I think you look perfect in that dress."

"Thank you." She gave a weak smile.

I wrapped my arms around her tiny waist and hugged her tight.

"You're just a little broken, I can fix that."

She hugged me tighter than she ever has before.

"I love you." I whispered in her ear.

"I love you too." she whispered.

I know she didn't actually love me. I think she felt like she had to say I back, but in all honestly I did love her.

"We should probably speed up our shopping, Zayn just texted me that we need to be back soon."

"Why do we have to go back so early?"

"Zayn said Liam has some news for you and the girls."

I felt bad, I knew exactly what it was but the girls would not be happy. Peyton just started trusting me and now she probably won't ever trust me again.

"Oh great," she said rolling her eyes.

I let out a small laugh and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Do you know what he wants to tell us?"

"Nope." I lied.

"Ugh, let's finish shopping so we can leave."

"Whatever you say Princess."

She cringed when I called her princess which isn't normal for her.

Liam's P.o.v

I was preparing myself for what I had to tell the girls. They're going to be absolutely pissed, but we have no other choice. Since everyone was at my house now I could get everyone together for the announcement.

"GIRLS, COME UP STAIRS PLEASE WE HAVE A ANNOUNCEMENT."

The girls piled in one after another taking a seat on the couch.

"Good. Now the boys and I have discussed this for a while and we have finally come up with the best solution. We have been waiting for a good time to tell you girls this. Niall, help me say this."

"Oh I don't know if that's such a good idea."

"JUST TELL US!" Sophia shouted.

"Harry you tell them."

"Well, as you might know, we are all going on a camping trip together to bond."

"I wasn't aware of this." Peyton said in a monotone voice.

"You are now. The following day after our camping trip the boys and I have a charity event in the US. For obvious reasons, we can't take you."

"Does this mean you're letting us go?" Faith asked.

"If I quit being interrupted you might find out."

Faith stuck her tongue out at Harry, he did the same.

"We aren't letting you go, so you can stop getting your hopes up. We are bringing a couple of friends along with us on the camping trip who...are going to be your babysitters per-say, for a couple days."

The girls froze. I know this isn't going to end well.

"You will meet them tomorrow when we leave to go camping. They're nice lads so I have given them permission to do what they please if you don't behave. Any questions?"

"I have one." Peyton said raising her hand.

"What would that be?"

"I wanna know why the fuck Niall lied to me and told me he didn't know what the news was."

Peyton stormed out the front door and slammed it behind her.

"Someone should go get her." Harry stated.

"I'll get her." Niall sighed.

"I'm sorry girls I know you aren't happy about going with complete strangers for a week but-"

"Wait a week!? You said a couple days!" Sophia yelled.

"Alright well Liam wrap it up."

"We will take you shopping later for clothes and such for your stay, we leave tomorrow!"

The girls grumbled and went back to the basement slamming the door behind them.

****

Look what you did Niall.
