The Runaway - N.H.

[25] Congratulations

"Managements gonna flip! They called you in yet?" Zayn asks with a smile on his face. "The press is having a god damned field day."

Louis got a text saying that the whole band and whoever the 'slut' was is to come straight to their office in LA to talk about everything. I told them I couldn't and that my testing is next week but they kept saying how it would be 'worth it' and shit. I'm honestly just happy I get to see LA and it's 'all expenses paid'.

"Hey babe." Harry jokes and I wink at him but Louis's face just goes whiter.

"Knew it! You are sleeping with all of them." I don't even have to turn around before I reply.

"Oh please Mr six-girls-in-twenty-twelve." Luke scoffs before putting his hand up to high-five Niall. He just stands there staring at him.

"Okay dokay. So slut cake you going to LA with us?"

"Us? Fuck me." I say before I groan.

"Apparently four of us already have." As soon as he starts his sentence I start punching his chest.

"Fuck off!" I screech before he hugs me.

"Shh." He says while trying to get me to stop kicking and punching.

"Get the fuck off me you rapist!" I joke and try to get him off me.

"It's not rape if we've already had sex, baby." This time I kick him directly in the balls and push him over before looking at Calum who's standing next to one of the cars, his jaw clenched, staring past me.

Even though Luke's on the floor in pain, he looks up at me and he looks... satisfied.

"Congratulations, fuck face." I hiss through my teeth and head back to the stairs.

I'm almost there when I feel someone grab me. I try to keep walking but they won't let up.

I turn around and the last person I expect to see is Michael, yet here he is. Tears start falling down my face and he moves to hug me.

"Don't! Are you fucking joking? You probably had this whole thing planned out so I'd tell them everything, or have you already told them?" I say with my whole body trembling.

He shakes his head ever so slightly. "I couldn't do that to you."

"But you could blackmail me. Yeah, that makes perfect sense." The tears are falling more rapidly now and I wish I'd stop, I hate crying, I never cry. I don't know why I have so much the past two days, it's these boys. They break me. "Tell your management I'll keep my trap shut and won't say anything. I'm not going anywhere with these four," I hiss to Louis.

Before any of them can protest, I start back up the stairs and get into my apartment locking the door before I break into sobs on the hallway floor.
