Rivals (or nah)

I walked to Danny's house, the air was getting cooler and the light was fading slowly. It had been three weeks since the day Louis' arm got injured from trying to 'protect me'. The same day Louis claimed me as his.

I scrunched up my face, "Yours? I don't think you seem to understand the fact that I belong to no one. You can't 'own' me."

Louis' famous smirk appeared, “Oh but I can, and I will. But it's getting late babe, don't wanna anger your nagging roommate do we? I'll drive you home.” He didn't even let me respond, he just got off the counter and walked out off the bathroom, pulling his shirt back on at the same time.

His and Luke's injuries had recovered since then. As I walked up Danny's doorstep I realized Louis and I never got to finish our bomb fire. What a pity, since I really had a feeling of fondness towards marshmallows.

“Ready to go to Zayn's?” I said as I hugged Luke, he was one of the sweetest guys I knew. Him and I were going in Danny's car.

Danny walked into the room, putting on his jacket in the process, “We are. You're staying here.”

“What do ya mean?” I looked at Luke who simply shrugged.

“Remember my cousin Natalia? She's coming today, so you're going to keep her company in the mean time.”

“What the fuck!? No! I don't even know her! Danny!” My foot stomped and I resembled an angered child as I protested.

“That's why you're staying here, to get to know her. Watch chick flicks, listen to Justin Bieber, I don't know, be a normal girl for once. Be friends with her, you'll be seeing her a lot.”

“This is bull shit! You know I hate people! This is just an excuse for me not to go to the meeting, you don't want to accept how much you need me!” I whined as my frown deepened, Danny's decision not changing.

“Come on, babe, please? For me? I do need you. To stay here.” I glared at him. “You know I have to go. I promise I'll tell you everything that happens. I'll owe you one...” he smiled, hoping I would give in.

My eyes softened, “Fine,” I huffed, punching him as he grinned and kissed my cheek.

“Thanks! See ya later,” him and Luke rushed out the door leaving me alone, wiping his kiss off my cheek.

I was twenty minutes into The Outsiders when I saw a cab outside. A short girl was outside taking two suitcases out and the taxi drove away shortly after. I opened the door to her fist ready to knock on the door.

“Oh, hello! You must be Jade, I'm Natalia,” she startled me by hugging me. I just stood there. She blushed and sheepishly smiled, "I'm a hugger, sorry.”

“Erm," I couldn't help but be awkward, "you can bring your things in,” she nodded.
