Chapter 23: Fight For Me

Chapter 23:

"Wake up!" I'm jolted awake by Louis screaming this into my ear.

"Jesus Louis!" I slap his shoulder.

"We're home." He comments as he walks away. My heart is still pounding. He's such an idiot.

I rub the sleep out of my eyes and lazily grab my bag, which was on my lap and not in the trunk, and make my way up to the porch. I don't bother waiting for anyone else.

I shut my eyes as I walk up the stairs, stumbling slightly. I'm just so exhausted.

"Woah, watch your step." Someone reaches an arm out to steady me. I pry open my tired eyelids.

Fuck. I jerk my arm out of his hand and step backwards.

"What are you doing here Benjamin?" I harshly say to him.

"I just wanted to talk." He puts his hands up.

"Gee, maybe you didn't understand this earlier so I'll spell it out for you." I clear my throat and scream the next part in his face for emphasis, "I never want to see your fucking face again!"

This seems to catch the others attention because I hear footsteps coming our way.

"Hey, get the fuck away from her!" Someone screams, possibly Harry.

At this point everyone is on the steps, watching the encounter.

"Take her inside!" Niall orders. Zayn nods and grabs my shoulders gingerly, ushering me into the living room. I don't have time to protest or react. Everyone else follows, except for Niall.

Zayn sits me down on the couch but I immediately stand back up and eavesdrop at the door. It isn't that hard though, they aren't exactly the whispering kind of people. Plus, the window is slightly open.

"I'll give you one chance to leave peacefully, mate. Other than that I'm not hesitating to force you to leave my fucking property." Niall almost growls.

"Hey man, look-" Ben begins, he sounds calmer than he should.

"No, you look. If I even catch you breathing on her ill rip your fucking head off." Niall threatens.

"You can try to intimidate me all you want. I'm not leaving until she talks to me." Ben insists.

"Maybe you could tell it to a judge instead." Niall remarks.

"If that's what it takes, so be it. But I'm still not leaving this spot until she listens to me." He stubbornly says.

"What makes you think you deserve her time, you piece of shit." Niall insults him and I catch myself smiling.

"I'm not leaving." Ben states.

"You know what, fine. Enjoy looking at this locked door." Niall pats the door with his hand and I jump back so he won't know I was listening. It opens just as I sit on an armchair.

"If he stays I'm not afraid to beat him to a pulp." Liam cracks his knuckles.

"I know where we keep nunchucks." Louis comments.

"No violence." I laugh slightly.

"Rosie please. I know you can hear me! Please just talk to me for five minutes, that's all I ask!" Ben shouts from outside.

I sigh and look at the others, silently pleading for their approval.

"No, nope, don't even think about it." Harry states as I open my mouth.

"Guys, I have to." I say quietly while standing up.

"See that's the thing, you really don't." Niall says.
