Mistake or Fate? (Book 1) *BEING EDITED*

Chapter 7 - This Night Can Only Go in One Direction....

(Syd’s P.O.V.)

“Ok, It’s all set. You guys can stay as long as you would like.” I replied staring only at Niall. I hope he doesn’t get a girlfriend anytime soon. Well unless it’s me....

“Let’s watch a movie!” Harry and Louis yelled at the same time. Oi! and I thought Darrian was loud! 

“Up All Night!” Paige and Darrian yelled. I guess was right! Darrian is loud, but so is Paige. I guess we’re all loud! 

“Noooooo....” the boys chorused, but we gave them the death stare, and I guess you could say that we ended up watching Up All Night. I got some popcorn and we all sat on the couch. We sat in this order. On one couch was Niall, me, Darrian, and Harry, and then on the other couch sat Paige, Louis, Zayn, and Liam. Darrian and I decided to lean on Harry and Niall’s shoulders to see if they would do anything, but they didn’t. we both looked at each other and smiled. Not even 5 minutes into the movie, Louis’ phone rang.

“Excuse me for a minute. I need to take this.” Louis said standing up, the boys looked at him with worried looks.

“Do you want me to pause it?” I asked, but he shook his head and walked into my sisters room so he could have some privacy. I didn’t dare let him in my room. It was covered in 1D posters and other pictures. I paused the movie anyway because I wanted to know what was up.

“So, what’s going on? Why’d you guys look at him with worried looks?” I asked looking at Niall. 

“What do you mean? What are you talking about? We didn’t look anywhere?” He replied. Oh Niall sweet sweet innocent little Niall. 

“You are a horrible liar Niall.” Darrian stated. She took the words right out of my mouth. This happens a lot. 

“Alright who’s gonna tell ‘em?” He said

“I will” Harry said, I was expecting it to be Liam, but whatever. As long as I can here the story.

“Okay, well Lou and El have been having.....a bit of a disagreement lately. She doesn’t want him spending the night here because she’s afraid something will happen. Even though he promised nothing would.” Darrian and I immediately turned to Paige. She had a sympathetic look on her face, but we both new she was screaming inside. (A/N: once again guys no hate towards El, it just didn’t fit in the story.) 

“Like how bad is it” she asked, trying not to smile. Harry then stood up.

“I better go check on him.” He said walking into the kitchen and down the hall to my sisters room. 

“Gosh, I hope everything’s okay. If it’s gonna cause problems then maybe you guys shouldn’t stay here. I know several ho-” I was saying but I got cut off by Harry. 

“Boys, you better come here....” He said. He had a pained look on his face. Something was wrong. I didn’t know what, but it was bad. 

“We’ll be in my room.” I said. I had a plan. You see, my room was right next door to my sisters, and the walls are really thin so I can hear everything that goes on in her room. Sometimes it’s a pain, but there are times when it comes in handy. Like now. We all jumped onto my bed and pressed our ears against the wall and listened.

(Harry’s P.O.V.)

“Boys, you better come here.” I said turning around and going back to my best friend. I felt so bad. He was so upset. 

“We’ll be in my room.” I heard Sydney say. I went to the room where Lou was, which was Sydney’s sister’s room apparently and the boys followed. I sat on the bed next to Lou and the boys sat around him. Liam shut the door as he was the last one in, and then he went and sat on the other said of Lou. 

“So, what’s up?” Zayn asked. Lou just burst into tears and turned into my shoulder. 

“She.....and then......and now......” He tried to get the words out, but he just couldn’t so I filled them in on what happened. 

“As you know, El just called. I guess she started freaking out because he’s here and she still thinks something is going to happen. She started flipping out and before Lou could get in a word she said they were over.” Lou just cried even more hearing it out loud. I held on to him tighter. I hated seeing him like this. 

“What?!” the rest of the boys chorused with shocked/sad expressions on their faces. They couldn’t believe it either. We all just kind of sat there in silent group hug for a few minutes until Lou calmed down. After Lou was all better he went to the bathroom to clean up, the rest of us went back to the living room. The girls weren’t back yet, so we all just sat back waiting for them. 

(Sydney’s P.O.V.)

We sat back from the wall, shocked at what we had just heard. Lou and El had broken up.....I looked at the girls and then at the picture of Louis and Eleanor I had on my wall, and then back at the girls. Darrian was the first to break the silence.

“Oh my god....” was all she could say. 

“I can’t believe it...” I said afterwards. We then both looked at Paige. She had this pained look on her face. We could tell she felt really bad, but she also was happy. Which made her feel even worse for feeling happy. 

“Did we-” I started but was cut off by Darrian.

“No, that couldn’t have been us.” she said and shaking her head. We were all thinking it. We were all thinking the same thing. Did we just break up El and Lou?
