Crooked Love Triangle

Chapter Twenty-two

Crooked Love Triangle

------------------------

*Harry's POV*

"Zayn! Did she fall in or something?!" I called to Zayn, who was on the other side of the flat.

"I don't know! Everytime I try to go in there she screams!"

Louis started potty-training Lux a few weeks ago and now THIS is what we're stuck with. I start to walk over to them when my phone buzzes in my pocket.

My eyes widen.

Niall just posted a picture on Twitter. It was a girl with wet black hair all over in her face along with some makeup. She was neck deep in a lake and looked like something from a horror film. I looked to the caption. "Emma fell in the lake!!! Lol!"

Whaaaaaaaat?! Thats Emma?!

I turned the corner to see Zayn on his phone. His eyes skitted down (probably to see the caption) and his expression changed. "Did you see this?!" He asked me angrily, pointing to his phone. "Agh! I asked him just to show her around! NOW SHE'S IN A BLOODY LAKE! WHAT IF-"

He was cut off by a crack of thunder. Oh no...

*Emma's POV*

I yawned loudly and Niall looked over to me. "Tired?" He asked.

"Mmhm... Are we almost there?"

He nods and I lay my head on his shoulder. He looks at me confused. "Lying on the window isn't as comfortable as you'd imagine." I told him.

He smiled and looked back to the road.

Soon enough, I fell asleep on Niall's still-soaked shoulder.

*five minutes later*

It was that space between awake and asleep. I could hear and feel everything that was going on, but it was weird and I couldn't see.

I was being carried by Niall. I heard a few snaps (like cameras... ugh.) And then a ding. Niall walked forward a few steps and he didn't move for awhile. He got out of what I assumed was a lift and began walking again. I heard a door open and slam, two running pairs of feet after. "Emma! Emma! Is she ok-"

"Sh! Are you insane?! She's ASLEEP." Niall cut off Zayn in a whisper-shout.

"Aw, she's cute when she's sleeping."

"Shut the hell up Harry." Niall and Zayn both said at once.

I cracked my eyes open a little to see Zayn and Niall staring at eachother intensely. "Harry, could you take her inside?" Zayn asked.

Harry nodded and went down to the hall and into the still-open door. He closed it behind him and just stood there for a moment.

Suddenly a blonde baby girl stumbled around the corner. "Oh dear god, I can't believe we left you alone." Harry said.

Surprise time!

I quickly brought my hand up and slapped Harry. I dropped from his arms and ran over to the baby, picking her up. "OH MAH GAWD IZZA BABAY!" I yelled.

I freakin LOVE babies!

"What the hell just happened?" Harry said, hand on his cheek.

"Expect the unexpected."

"Right right... I guess we're just not used to being slapped by a sleeping girl."

"And that's why I'm going with you on tour." I smiled.

"Oh ha ha. If you're so tough the why is Zayn the only one who's seen you beat the living shit outta someone?"

"SH!!! There is a baby here!"

I set Lux down and played with the tops of her booties, making her laugh. Harry just stood there watching me play with her. He had one hand in his pocket and his head cocked to one side. "You're good with kids?" He asked.

"Totally. When I was younger I was kinda like a father to this one kid..."

I started tearing up... Oh god...

His name was Ollie. The only thing you need to know is that Alisa's mom had been about a month pregnant when Alisa... you know...

I tear rolled down my face.

"Woah. Woah Emma. Are you crying? Why are you crying?"

I stood up and ran down the hall. I got my own room with this flat but I didn't even check who's I ran into. I slammed the door and crawled beneath the bed, curling up and sobbing, trying to wash away memories.

*Niall's POV*

As soon as the door closed behind Harry, Zayn turned to me. "What was that?" He said in a forced calm voice.

"Um... What was what?"

Then, he exploded.

"EVERYTHING!!! Why was Emma in the lake?! Why didn't you answer your phone or text back?! What was with the 'Shut the hell up Harry.' when he said she looked cute?!"

I shrugged. "Well, the lake was because we were playing a game and she fell in the water, my phone because the battery fell out when Emma pulled me into the water, and the Harry thing... I didn't want her to wake up."

Please buy the last one, please buy the last one...

He sighed and piched the bridge of his nose. "Whatever..."

Suddenly there was a slam from inside. I saw Louis and Liam walking back from the lift but didn't even acknowledge them as I swung the door open. "What did you do?" I asked Harry.
