It All Started With Lou

Bagels... Pt. 4

***

We walk home holding hands and we were still holding hands when we walk into my house, but once we enter I pull my hand away. Everyone is awake and staring us down and I mean EVERYONE. Lou is staring at me very disappointedly. Not to mention Paul. His face is so red it's almost purple and you could almost see the steam coming out of his ears.

"I got bagels...?" I trail off while holding up the bag. Liam walks down the steps to where Niall and I stand and grabs the bag from me. He clutches it to his stomach and walks back up the steps. He was like a greedy child getting a new present and clutching it to him while saying "mine". That's weird. Why is everyone acting so weird?

"Come. Here." Paul struggles to get out. He's so pissed that he can barely talk clearly. We both walk up the stairs and sit on the chairs that are empty for us in the kitchen. When we get settled we wait for Paul to say something.

"HOW DID YOU GET THOSE BAGLES?!?!?" He screams at us. I got this. Niall and I already made up a cover story before we left!

"My grandparents dropped it off." I clearly state.

"Oh really???" Paul asks.

"Um. Ya really." I sass back. I have no time for his 'tude.

"I HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR YOUR SASS MISSY!" He screams at me. I get taken aback by this. I don't like being screamed at. Niall sees that I'm hurt and rubs my thigh to calm me down. He also whispers "it's okay, Skyler. Relax. You're fine. Nothing's gonna happen. You're fine". I lower my head and take in deep breaths.

*Lou's POV*

I wake up and only Paul, Liam, and Zayn are awake. They look really concerned. I wonder why.

"What's up?" I ask. I'm cheery today. I slept so well. I never usually sleep well when we aren't in London.

"Skyler and Niall are missing. They're not here. Niall has his phone off. We already tried tracking him. We don't know Skyler's number so we can't track her." Zayn blankly states.

"Oh come on guys! They're here somewhere! Let them have some fun!" I say. I feel so good. I don't think that anything could ruin my mood.

"They were supposed to wake me up if they even stepped foot out of this house. They didn't." Paul states. Goodness, everyone is so rough around the edges today.

"So...?" I don't see the point in why they can't walk around a small town like this. I was going to take a walk myself. Not! I'd rather go swimming.

"So?!?! So? If management finds out in anyway--"

"Shit!" I say. I spoke too soon. That just ruined my mood. If management finds out they could punish us in anyway they want to. They could even fire me because it was mostly my idea. Great. Now I'm screwed.

"So you said that you needed Skyler's number...?"

(A/N:
