19

The night was dark,but was lit with a thousand stars.

I take deep breaths as I look at the dress in front of me.

It's the one Niall bought me;the white one.

The silly memories pop into my head and I sit down on my bed.

What an idiot,I think to myself.

You actually thought things would run smoothly.

A soft knock at the door breaks my attention.

"Niall go away-" I shout but the door slowly opens.

"It's me,love," Lou enters sweetly and I sigh.

"What happened between you and Niall?"

"Too much to understand to be honest."

He nods and sits besides me.

"You know what's going to happen tonight,right?"

"Yeah,I think." I reply dryly,the thought of Harry being killed making my stomach churn.

He stays silent for a while.

"Remember when I said that I'd tell you what happened to me?"

I look at him and nod slowly.

"Well," he clears his throat and turns his body to me,placing his hands on his knees.

He shakes is head and brings his hands together,wringing them,as if nervous.

"Amber I left for you."

I scrunch my eyebrows.

"Wha-"

"I got mixed up in some bad stuff.I was selling drugs,getting tats,beating the shit out of people,stealing...it was bad." He sighs.

"Then I got mixed up with a guy named Mark.He was a man of many words,and got his way every time.I met Niall through him,and we became close.Then one day,Mark was being overthrown by some of his rivals and Niall and I took it as our go.They killed him,and we started new together."

"So,Niall worked for Mark?" I ask softly.

"Yeah.For a while.His brother tried to get him out but he was too ignorant to see what his brother was trying to do.Niall didn't want to burden his brother more than what he was.He could barely take care of his family,then having a brother thrown on him wouldn't be good at all."

"Then where was his parents?"

"I don't know for sure.You'll have to ask for yourself."

I nod and swallow.

"Why didn't you come back?I still don't understand why you left because of me?"

"Babe,you were the only one who didn't see it," he smiled almost to himself,looking down.

"See what?Lou-"

"-I liked you so much.I had the biggest crush on you.I still do." He says sheepishly.

"Cut it out,Louis.Stop playing around." I laugh and smile.

He looks at me and I frown.

"Louis,seriously?"

"Yeah,crazy right?Even though you were 3 years younger than me.Everyone saw but you."

I grab his hand.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Mark threatened me with you.He told me that if I didn't work for him that he'd get you and send you to me in pieces."
