To hook a Star [LOUIS TOMLINSON]

12. THUNDER

   Yesterday's debacle with the guys left me mentally exhausted. However, I was able to finish the errands I needed to get done. This morning however,  I haven't done much, it's ten thirty and I've just sat in the living room editing videos.
    Kristin had left a note this morning saying she would be back later on. So I decided to take advantage of the quiet time. For once, California was getting some rain so I made some tea and grabbed a book to read. Getting half way through my book and drinking the tea Kristin and Niall had rammed in the door almost, being soaking wet. "Lucy you need to check Twitter." was the only thing that came out of their mouths.

    With my book in hand I just gave them a puzzled look. Suddenly, Niall shouted, "Dammit Lucy! Now!"  Taking me by surprise I set my book down, "Wow, no need to be rude." Lifting my phone off the coffee table I log onto Twitter. Seeing what I saw left me speechless. I had no idea what to say or think. All I was seeing was pictures of Harry and I on the sidewalk hugging with also the hashtag #GreyStyles trending number one.

  The more and more I saw, I noticed a picture of Harry kissing my forehead. My eyes grew wild and my heart began to race. No one was around! Who the hell could have taken this!? Finding words I gave a response, "Oh..fuck." Nervously chuckling I set my phone down, then running my hands through my hair. "We saw it about twelve minutes ago, we figured you should know."
All I wanted to do was laugh, it was jarring to see but they seemed so worried over nothing. Surely, everyone here could tell it was a friendly forehead kiss. I assume ships will happen but that's expected with these things. "Why is this a big deal for you guys to race over here to tell me? It'll disappear in a few days." Shaking my head I grabbed my book and began to read once more.
    Kristin snatched the book from my hands and set it down onto the coffee table. "You might not care, but what about Louis?" She asks me with frustrated eyes.
   Rolling my eyes I groaned, "It's a forehead kiss, and last I checked I'm not his girlfriend nor his ward." The both of them just sighed and sat onto one of the couches. Niall broke the silence, "After Eleanor Louis became kinda temperamental. I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to be an ass about this."

That's right. Eleanor, the girl Louis had been in love with since day one. I had always wished they worked things out. But that was what? At most, it's been a year since they've broken up.

  Kristin had walked into the kitchen to make us all hot chocolate. Niall and I were left alone to discuss things further more. "Look I understand we just met you guys and all, but I will beat the shit out of him." This earned a laugh from Niall, but soon calmed himself down. A few minutes pass by and Kristin hands us our mugs. Holding it, I couldn't bring myself to drink it. Anger and frustration was building up in me, he is so fucking weird. Why would this be a problem at all? "Tommo the Tomlinson is a whole handful nowadays." Niall chirped as he took a sip from his mug.
     Shaking my head I grab my phone and go back into twitter to make one post and log back off.

@LucyGrey: If anyone wants to know, this is the main reason I fight with hanging my career up. Can't even get privacy when meeting my own idols. Fuck the paparazzi.

    Kristin gave me an eyebrow as she sipped from her mug. She then pulled out her phone and checked to see what I had posted. Calmly, she set her phone on the coffee table trying to stifle back a giggle. "Absolute menace as always." I shrug my shoulders at her. This isn't the first time paparazzi have invaded on my privacy. I hated it more than anything, and especially being with the guys? That could put them all at danger and I wouldn't wish that, ever.

   "Can someone clue me in on how a tweet will do anything?" Closing my eyes, I chuckle at Niall. Kristin suddenly pulls up YouTube on her phone and shows Niall my channel. "Holy hell, over a million?" Niall exclaims as he is surprised. His mouth hung open, not sure what to say. I roll my eyes, "Niall, close your mouth you're not a codfish." Which resulted into him slapping his mouth shut.

   "Why haven't you mentioned that? Why haven't we heard of you before?" Niall began to ask a million questions. Firing one after the other not losing breath.
   "Niall!" I shouted to get his attention, "It's my job? Didn't think place of employment was important to bring up, and mainstream music vs YouTube.. the paths don't cross." All three of us finished our hot chocolates and Niall brought the mugs to the kitchen for us. "Should we go talk to the guys? See if they think of anything about it?" Kristin says looking  at Niall.

   "You see.." he trailed off, "They're already on their way here." He finishes scratching his neck.

Kristin and I suddenly burst out, "What?!" Niall tried to make himself look smaller than he was. "Liam texted me asking where I went and I told him." He takes a breathe and continues, "I also forget I share my location with all the guys.."
   "Fucking hell. I just want peace." I muttered as the front door nearly flew off its hinges. Snapping our heads in the direction, we see that it's Zayn and Liam looking flustered with a ranting Louis and an annoyed Harry.

    "You said you would talk to her not make a move on her!" Louis shouted in Harry's face as Harry was visibly holding themself back. "You need to get the fuck out of my face Louis, we just hugged bye."
    Liam suddenly sits beside me and sighs, "They've been going at it all morning.." Just wanting to ignore them Liam and I tried to start a conversation multiple times. Their voices were only getting louder, and they had began to push each other around. Seeing Louis push Harry into a wall causing a vase to fall onto the ground by the door was the nail in the coffin for me.

   As the crash happened the two of them looked at each other then at the floor. Letting an annoyed screech out I gained the eyes of everyone. "No manners! I've said this multiple times. You come into my house, be a disturbance to my neighbors and me, then you break my shit!" The boys backed away from each other as I began to sweep the shards of glass up.
"Either Shut the fuck up or get the hell out of my apartment." I demanded the both of them. Throwing away the glass I sit back in my spot. Louis and Harry came and joined everyone in the living room. "Now, can we discuss things like adults please?" I ask the both of them, earning subtle nods from both. Louis quickly perks up to speak, "Harry is a traitor."
   Hearing what he said caused me to obviously roll my eyes, "Why Louis? All we did was hug."

    Louis rolled his eyes while groaning, "Right! As if I didn't see the picture of the kiss." In that moment, it all clicked for me. Louis may not know it but he stated a claim on me and I do not like that at all. "I am not your girlfriend, Louis! I'm not your ward. Not to mention, it's a forehead kiss! Least threatening thing ever." Shaking my head I lean back on the couch and start scrolling on my phone.
    As I scrolled my anger only grew. I felt so compelled to say something to him again. "We're friends and I understand we just met but there is a power imbalance here. You're acting like since you're famous, you're doing me a favor." Louis's face and visible anger drop, and his eyes fall to the ground. It was as if my words suddenly made sense to him.

"I'm sorry.. I guess it just got to my head."

"You're damn right it did." I muttered just loud enough for everyone to hear it.

However, knowing who I am I couldn't help myself. Never a million years could I stay mad at him.

"I forgive you, though."
