The Demons Inside. [ZM AU]

Ch: 38 || Oblivion.

[Nathan] 

I was going to bring Louisa home to meet the boys, to prove to them that I can still get girls and I am not pussy whipped over Nikki. Louisa wanted to meet my friends though she seemed a little nervous because she felt like they wouldn't accept her. If they didn't, I wouldn't care. I liked her so much, I couldn't care less if they didn't like her because that would mean more Louisa for me. 

"Are you ready?" Louisa reached for my hand and gave it a quick squeeze but didn't release it which reassured me that she was. Actions spoke louder then words. I took a deep breath myself and prepared myself for the next few minutes. 

However I didn't prepare myself to a completely messy living room and only Siva sitting with his head in his palms on my sofa. What the? There hasn't been another fight, there can't have been. Zayn promised he would be on his best behaviour in my house. This is insane. 

"Siva, what the actual hell-"

 "oh NATHAN! GOSH - YOU TOOK FOREVER, I THOUGHT YOU FORGOT WHERE YOUR OWN HOUSE IS. SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED WHILE YOU WERE GONE IT'S JUST UNREALISTIC BUT YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME. FIRST OF ALL. Well hello, what's your friends name?" Siva flushed a little when finally noticing Louisa standing next to me with her hand laced in mines. 

"Hi, I'm Louisa Rachel. It's nice to meet you." Louisa raised her other hand and waved slightly while showing her a dazzling smile. He seemed impressed which was great. 

"Oh, lovely. Um. Yeah so. Umm-" 

"-go on then, tell me what happened then." I hinted for him to carry on but he nodded quickly to Louisa, as if to say he couldn't say it all in front of her. I sighed and turned to the girl I was slowly but not all at once falling for. 

"Louisa, would you mind maybe taking a tour of my small house while I talk to my friend Siva here? It would only take a few minutes." she giggled and pecked my lips gently, "of course." as soon as she had left the room and was safely out of ear shot, Siva tackled me into a bear hug. 

"I've missed you little Nath!!! So much has happened!! You wouldn't believe me if I tell you Caitlin gave birth, and Zayn dropped his daughter. You wouldn't believe me if I told you that Nikki had been to London and was met by Jay. Jay dismissed her for all the right reasons. And you certainly wouldn't believe me if I told you Sophia and Zayn were caught by the police hence the messed up living room and was rushed to jail!! I'm trying to figure out how to bail them out but it seems virtually impossible. You can only bail one of them out. I don't know what to do. Zayn's one of our friends, he's our leader. Sophia is innocent and doesn't belong there but neither does Zayn? Who do we chose? Loyalty or his lover?" cheesy much?

Over the past few weeks that Zayn and Sophia had been staying at my house I had formed a close friendship with Sophia, and I would actually class her as my best friend because I trust her that much. It's easier talking to a girl, and not someone who will judge you and call you a pussy and whatnot. 

"I missed all that? But I've only been gone a little maybe over or less then twenty four hours? How unfair; I missed all the drama!" I chuckled light heartily but Siva wasn't the mood for jokes. He seemed to be quite pissed off actually, very stressed might I add. Stress is sometimes good for you because it means you care for whatever you're stressing about. In some cases exams, in Siva's case; his friends' safety. In my case, I have to worry that everyone will accept Louisa and not think bad of her. I know people can be just judgmental nowadays. Society has changed for the worse.
