Stay With Me

Liam's POV

     We have been sitting here in Skye's house for at least an hour and we haven't discussed what we plan on  doing. I grabbed Louis and Harry and pulled them to the other room.

"What are we supposed to do?" I asked.

They both shot quick glances at each other then over their shoulder and looked at the their feet.

"We could always stay here with her." Harry said quietly.

"I mean, we aren't on tour right now so we could stay at the house if she'll allow us." Louis added.

I looked at them then beyond them into the room where Zayn, Eleanor, and Niall were comforting her. It was so sad to see her like this. I guess there's nothing really we can do.

"I'll talk to her about it." I sighed.

I walked through them and back into the room. Skye looked up at me with tears still in her eyes.

"Come with me for a second?" I asked.

She looked at me for a moment then looked over at Niall.

"Only if he can come too." She added.

Niall didn't say anything, he just looked down at his lap.

"Sure." I said smiling, anything that would keep her happy.

We walked out of the room and back into the kitchen where we had been before. Harry and Louis had already gone back into the lounge and sat with the rest of them.

"Skye, we need to figure out this situation. You need someone here with you and we'll gladly take up that task if you're okay with us staying here with you." I tried to get out as fast as I could without sounding too pushy.

She stared at me for a second with her face a ittle scrunched up. I guess she's thinking. She looked back up with a hint of a smile on her face and nodded. I pulled her into a hug and whispered in her ear,

"Thank you Skye. We promise we'll be here for you."

She sniffled and let go and stood back to look at me. I could see some of the life coming back into her face. She stopped crying and smiled at me. She turned around and walked back into the lounge to sit on the couch with everyone. I went to follow her when Niall grabbed my arm. I turned around and looked at him. A single tear was falling down his face.

"Thanks mate." He whispered.

That was all he said before he let go and walked past me into the lounge. I smiled then followed right behing him.

"Okay everyone! Get your bags, we're moving in!" I announced when I walked in.

Harry's POV

     "Okay everyone! Get your bags, we're moving in!" Liam announced when he walked back into the room.

My head shot up and I looked at him with the happiest expression I think I've ever managed. I noticed Louis started laughing and nudged me in the ribs. I turned my head down quickly because I knew I was blushing like crazy.

"We need to sort out the room situation now." Liam said.

"Skye, I think you should probably be the one who chooses where we sleep, it is your house." Niall said.

I looked up because I wanted to know where she'd be putting us all.

"Well. There's only 3 bedrooms. Mine, a guest bed, and my...mums." She choked out the last word.

Niall hugged her and whispered something in her ear. She smiled and went on explaining.

"Someone can sleep in my room with me I guess. 2 can sleep in the guest bedroom and 2 can sleep in the other room." She said making sure not to mention her mum again.
