The Preparation

TRIGGER WARNING, IF EASILY TRIGGERED PLEASE DO NOT READ! Mentions of sexual assault, nothing too detailed, Louis' bottom gets groped. But if this makes you uncomfortable please don't read it!

So I would just like to apologise for my empty promise of updating more. I've been so ill this summer and busy with work, my summer just sucked in general so yeah I'm sorry guys.

Hopefully this chapter makes it up to you. Enjoy my lovelies! :) x

"Morning Lou." Niall says softly as he walks in to my room, cups of tea in hand.

"How'd you get in here?" I ask groggily, rubbing my eyes tiredly as I sit up.

He lets out a little giggle.

"I picked the lock." He giggles again, trying to look innocent as he holds up a bobby pin. Despite my sadness, I can't stop the small smile that makes its way on to my face.

"You're such a rascal Ni." I reply, not at all angry for his unplanned wake-up call.

"So are you excited for the dance tonight? I know it's another free day today, so I'm not going to do anything." He rambles, as he sits down next to me on the bed. Carefully passing me my cup of tea.

"I dunno if I want to go, to be honest." I murmur, looking down at my lap.

"Is it because of H?" He asks softly.

"Yeah." I say quietly. "We had another spat last night."

"I know, me and Liam heard." He says gently.

"I'm just not in the mood to go." I send him a sad smile. "Besides I don't want to see him with Tania or any more of his weekly bitches." I say bitterly.

"Lou." He sighs, scooting closer to me. "I'm going to be honest now okay?" He asks, taking a hold of one of my hands and squeezing gently.

I just nod my head in response.

"I've never seen Harry react with an omega before, the way he has reacted to you." He lets out a sigh. "He's acted like a complete cock these last few weeks and I'm not justifying his actions, but there are two sides to every story right?" He asks, staring at me with his doe eyes. Again all I do is nod in response. "Well, what I'm trying to say is, just don't completely cut him off from any chance there is of you guys getting together. At least not until you give him a chance to explain the reason why he's been acting like a dick. I promise you he's not usually like this. You saw what he was normally like within the first few weeks of us being here!" He exclaims, obviously frustrated with the curly-haired alpha.

Is there really another reason why he's been acting like this? It might explain why he is still being so possessive over me.

I just nod my head numbly, not sure what to think anymore.

"I'd rather not talk about it anymore." I say softly, as I feel a headache blooming.

"Alright Lou, just keep an open mind." He says gently.

"Okay." I whisper, keeping my eyes downcast.

"I'm gonna go check on Li. See you in a bit?" He asks as he gets up.

"Yeah. I'll come downstairs in a bit." I murmur, sending him a small smile, which he returns before leaving.

I sit there quietly on my bed. Trying to process my thoughts.

Do I give him a chance?

Walking down the stairs I spot Harry sat on the sofa. A frown on his face. His eyes snap up to mine as he notices me. He stays silent as I walk past him to the kitchen.
