When Everything Goes Wrong (One Direction Love Story)

10.When Things Go Wrong But Right

In the short time that it took to get from the airport to the hotel, I became very good friends with Danielle and Perrie. We chatted the whole way back and I learnt a lot about them that the boys hadn't told me. And I'm sure they learnt quite a bit about me too.

When it came to the 'previous boyfriends' subject that Perrie brought up, I briefly slipped into 'depression mode'. I could see the boys sharing a worried look and Danielle and Perrie look bewildered and a little guilty.

The thing is, although I knew I was in love with Louis, I still wasn't fully over Tom yet. I guess Niall had told the boys but obviously the girlfriends didn't know yet. But to get over him I have to be able to talk about him.

Just as I could see Niall glance at me, obviously about to explain to Perrie and Danielle, I held my hand up to stop him, my depression gone as my thoughts cleared.

"It's okay, I can do it" I said reassuringly.

"Perrie, a few weeks back my boyfriend of two years, T-t-tom-" I stuttered on his name, the last time I had said it was 2 weeks ago when I told Niall what happened.

"-broke up with me. It shouldn't have been a big deal because for the last 1 and a quarter years of our relationship, he used to beat me up. Verbally and physically." Danielle gasped and Perrie looked shocked.

"But the thing is, I was still in love with him... I-I think I still am."

<Louis P.O.V>

"I-I think I still am" Clio said. And those 5 words broke my heart. The last 2 weeks I had spent with her hade made me fall. Hard. And sometimes when we touched and I felt those bolts of electricity, I thought she had felt something too. But now, I learnt that she was still in love with that horrible Tom, who had beat her up on countless occasions and then broken her heart.... How could she still have feelings for him??!

When Perrie asked that question about 'previous boyfriends', I could have slapped her. But, I thought, it wasn't her fault. It was Zayns, and Liams, for not telling their girlfriends. I could see by how Clios face and eyes went slack, that she was thinking about Tom and that she had slipped into the lightest layers of 'depression mode', as Niall called it.

In the first few days after Clio pulled her first prank on us while we were watching that movie, I had seen her slip into 'depression mode' quite a lot, but, it got less and less frequent and eventually it just fizzled out.

I had to ask her out soon. Or Tom might come back into the picture. Or someone else. And that won't be good for me.

I had become very good friends with Clio in the last couple of weeks. The only person she was closer to than me and Niall was Zayn. And that made me very jealous. I know that Zayn has a girlfriend but he was always with Clio. And she also hugged him lots and asked to talk to him privately. The Zayn I know would never cheat and I know Perrie wouldn't either so she would be upset if he did. I don't really think he is cheating but sometimes I can't help but wonder.

And it doesn't help that I'm still very pissed off at Zayn for being mean to me about liking Clio. Wait. He knew I liked Clio. That means that he can't date her and he wouldn't in secret. It was part of the 'One Direction Girl Code'. If someone calls dibs on a girl no one else in the band can date her unless she is in love with him and the person who has placed dibs has given his blessing. And I most certainly haven't.

So while Clio was telling Perrie not to worry about it and Perrie was apologising over and over again. I was thinking of romantic ways to ask Clio on a date and also ways of how the boys would just 'magically disappear'. More like magically stalk us.

---1 hour later---

We decided against going to the beach because the girlfriends hadn't unpacked and by the time we got them settled in to their new room - they were sharing a room on the end of our row of rooms that had become vacant yesterday, Clio was moving in with them too - and moved Clio out of Nialls, it would be too late because of the carnival at 7.
