I would die for you, but I won't live for you -Niall Horan au

Once Riley was finished getting ready, she went and packed some things she would need. Her parents weren’t home this weekend, they were never home. Riley walked out of her room dressed in her ‘lazy clothes’.

 Her outfit was her favorite Ed Sheeran sweater, black Victoria’s Secret sweatpants, and a black beanie over her head. She had her black leather backpack thrown over her shoulders and black TOMS on her feet.

 “Ready?” She asked me. I nodded and hopped down off the stool I was sitting on. We got back into her little Volkswagen and drove to my house. Once we got there, we saw that all of the boys were already inside.

 We walked into the house and towards the living room. Five heads turned towards us as we walked in. “Couldn’t dress up a bit Riley?” Harry said from the couch. She narrowed her eyes at him and sat down.

 These two were so mean to each other sometimes. It’s almost like they weren’t friends sometimes. “How about you try and impress scouts? Oh wait, you have no talent.”  Riley shot back.

 Harry crossed his arms over his chest and looked at his feet. What Riley said wasn’t true, Harry had talent and she knew it. She was just trying to piss him off as usual. “What should we watch first?” I asked, breaking the awkward silence.

 Harry and Zayn pulled out some DVD cases they rented and read them out loud. I watched Riley get out of her seat and sit between Louis and Zayn. She grabbed a bag of chips and started eating them.

 “How about we just watch Ri gain more weight?” Harry said, a big smirk on his face. Riley looked at him, hurt written all over her face. But did Harry care? No, he just kept smirking at her.

 Riley was a bit on the chubby side, but she wasn’t fat at all. She didn’t eat a lot of junk food or anything; she got the genes from her dad’s side of the family. Riley got up off the couch and ran out the front door.

 I looked back at Harry who was back to looking at the films. “Jesus Hazz, what’s your problem?” Zayn said, jumping off the couch and running after Ri. I stood up and went to follow him. But before I did, I turned back to Harry.

 “Why do you have to be such an ass towards her?”

 He didn’t reply. I just looked at me and then back at the DVD’s. I shook my head and ran out the door. I got outside and looked around. I couldn’t see Zayn or Riley anywhere. “Where did they go?”

 I turned to see Niall walking towards me. I shrugged and looked around again. “No idea. Riley’s a fast runner.” I replied. I still couldn’t believe Harry said that to her. I mean, they were rude to each other but he’s never taken it that far.

 “Let’s go back in, it’s cold out here.” Niall said. I looked around once more before walking inside. As soon as I got in the door, I could hear Liam scolding Harry. “It’s not gonna do any good Liam. Just leave it.” I said, narrowing my eyes at Harry.

 We sat back down in the living room. Nobody spoke a word until the door opened. “Riley?” I called. “No it’s me.” Zayn said, walking into the living room. He looked tired and sad. The worst part is, he was alone.

 “What’s wrong? Where’s Riley?” Louis panicked. Zayn ran a hand through his hair and sighed. “I have no idea. I looked every where I could think of and I couldn’t find her.” He replied.

 Everyone stayed silent and looked at Harry. It was his fault that she left. But she would come back. I knew her like the back of my hand. She just wanted to clear her mind. “Just put a movie on.” I said.

 Everyone except for Louis looked at me like I was crazy. “She’s going to come back. Just put a movie on.” Liam grabbed a random movie and put in on. Turns out it was Toy Story again, no surprise there.

 The movie was pretty much over when we heard the door open and close. We listened as the footsteps came closer to the living room. Everybody looked up as Riley as she walked in. “Where did you go?” Liam asked as she sat down.

 She looked over at me before answering. “No where.” She said with a shrug. But I knew exactly where she went. She went to visit her older sister. Her sister died two years ago in a car accident. Riley was told she died almost instantly.

 Zayn got up, sat beside Riley and wrapped his arms around her. She cuddled into him and watched the movie. I looked over at Harry who was watching the t.v very carefully. I picked up a few M&M’s and started throwing them at him.

 A few missed, a few him where he couldn’t feel it, and finally I hit him right in the face. I instantly looked at Louis, expecting it to be him. But he noticed Louis was fast asleep on the couch.

 He looked at the rest of the boys until he met my gaze. We looked at each other for a moment until I jerked my head towards Riley, silently telling him to apologize. He rolled his eyes and sighed. Jerk much?

 He sat up in his seat and looked at Riley. “Ri? Can we talk?” He asked. There was no answer. She didn’t even look his way. “Riley…” Still nothing. Well, not to Harry any ways. “I’m going to bed.” She mumbled while getting up and walking out of the room.

 “Go talk to her you idiot!” I hissed at Harry. He narrowed his eyes at me but got up and followed her anyways. It was quiet for a while, except for the movie playing and the snores of Louis and Zayn. Then there was the sound of loud knocking.

 “Riley! Just let me in! I said sorry can’t you just accept it and forget what I said?” I heard Harry shout. I got up from my seat and made my way upstairs. “What’s going on?” I asked once I got to where Harry was standing.

 “I said sorry but she’s being a brat!” Harry said, making sure it was loud enough for Riley to hear. “You called me fat you ass!” Riley yelled through the door. “So what?” Harry yelled back. The three of us stayed quiet; surprised by what Harry had said.

 Suddenly the door opened really fast and Riley was standing there with the most pissed off expression on her face. Harry almost looked scared, but he stood his ground. “Ril-”

 Before he could finish, Rile had brought her arm back and punch him right in the nose. Harry cried out in pain, causing the others to run up. “What happened?” Liam asked. He ran over to Harry and tried removing his hands. “She punched me!” Harry said. He moved his hands to reveal his nose.

 “Oh my god, it’s bleeding!” Louis screeched. “Niall, take Louis downstairs. We don’t want him to faint. Zayn help me get Harry to the car.” Liam instructed. Niall dragged Louis’ half limp body down the stairs and Zayn helped Liam with Harry. “Where are you going?” I asked.

 “We have to get him to the hospital. His nose might be broken.” Liam replied.
