One Step Closer (Sequel to OSAAT)

Chapter Fourteen.

"How's your foot doing?" Luke asked me after Louis and I entered the classroom.

"It's fine, a little tired." I said and laughed. Ricky walked over to me and smiled.

"How's Ali?" he asked me and I shrugged.

"I haven't heard from her recently." I said. Jack and Nick made their way over to the group of us and I started to feel bad for Jack.

"Mrs. Clooney says we aren't practicing today... her husband was in accident and broke his big toe. She's a mess." Nick said and Louis was staring down all of the guys in front of me. "Hi, I'm Nick." Nick said to Louis, sticking his hand out.

"Hello, Nick." he said and I laughed a little. "You seem like a nice kid, but you," he pointed to Luke. "you stay away from Lauren Hanson, you got that?"

"Yes, ma'am." Luke said and laughed a little.

"Disrespectful friends, are never good ones."

"Louis, shut up." I said and he smiled at me.

"I haven't yelled at Ricky yet!" Louis said and we all sat down. "What are you guys going to be doing today then?"

"Oh, we're allowed to leave." Jack said, a little distant.

"Do you want to go?" I asked Louis and he shrugged. "We should go," I said to everyone.

"Okay, we'll see you later." Luke said and I smiled.

"Bye guys." I said and I grabbed Louis's hand. We walked outside and to my car. After we got in, I decided to drive him back to his hotel. We walked up the stairs and to the tenth floor. We got to their room and Harry opened the door.

"Quick class?"

"Cancelled class." I said and Harry nodded. Louis was trying to catch his breath. "That's why you don't run as fast as you can upstairs."

"Niall needs you to call him." Harry says to me and I nod.

"Okay, why?" I asked him and he shrugged. We walked into the room and I got my phone out, I called Niall.

"Hey." he answered.

"Hi, what's up?" I asked him.

"Well, Ali and I are kind of taking break... and I just need to know that you're going to look after her when I leave. I mean, I know you will, but I want you to make sure nothing happens between her Jack again, okay?"

"Yeah, I can do that." I said and opened the fridge.

"I'm sorry about being so weird yesterday."

"No, it's fine." I said and looked at the beverage choices. Tea or fruit punch... hmmm.

"Yeah, well, okay." he said and I grabbed a bottle of tea.

"Eveything's going to be okay between you two, okay?"

"Okay." he said and I ended the call. I don't really know why, but I do that a lot. Like, end the call at a point where I confuse the other person.

"I'm going back to my dorm." I yelled out, not knowing where the boys went. Louis came out of the bedroom and walked over to me.

"I'll text you." he said and quickly kissed me. "Bye."

"Bye, love you."

"Love you too, Rosie." he smirked at me and I hit his shoulder.

"Bye Harry!" I yelled.

"Bye!" he yelled back at me. I hugged Louis and walked out of the hotel room.
