New point of view this chapter. I hope that doesn't bother you! ❤

Liam
"Just give him a few days," Louis told me. I had been moping around the entire day after the fight with Niall the night before. I felt like pure rubbish.
"How long?" I croaked, leaning up against the wall. I probably looked pathetic with the long face I had plastered on me.
"Half a week at the least," he answered, rubbing my shoulder. "Now how about we go to that cute little bakery down on Rutherford." I smiled weakly and nodded. I could use a good pastry.

"I'll have a blueberry muffin and a glass of tea," Louis told the girl behind the counter.
"And for you sir?" She asked me.
"The same," I answered, looking around behind me for a place for us to sit.
"That'll be £8.00," the girl told Louis and I walked away from the counter to the booth in the corner. Once I sat down, I put my head down and sighed loudly. Louis joined me a couple minutes later with our muffins and tea, sitting across from me in the booth.
"It's gonna be okay," he told me as I brought my head up and took a sip of the tea.
"How are you so calm about this?" I asked in a hushed tone.
"Well..." He paused, taking a bite out of his muffin. "Niall's a grown boy. He's nineteen years old and knows how to take care of himself. If he thinks he's finding happiness out of some boy you two used to go to school with that kidnapped him, then it's fine with me. Hold on, that came out wrong. I'm not fine with it, but I'm not going to try and hold him back. He should be allowed to make his own decisions."
I took a bite out of my muffin and frowned. I absolutely hated when Louis was right.
"You're right," I whispered. He smiled wide then that smile turned into a smirk.
"What was that, Liam?" He asked mockingly. "I'm what?"
"You're right," I groaned, rolling my eyes.
"I know you always hate to admit it when I'm right," he laughed then took a sip of his tea. "Feels good to here you admit it." I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't get used to it.
"That's what you said last time," he pointed out.
"We're not bringing up last time." I took another bite of my muffin as Louis finished his.
"Fine," he said. "Only because I love you." I smiled and shook my head.
"Finish your tea."

Michael (because you've finally gotta hear baes side cx)
Liam told us three days after Niall left for Ireland that he had actually spoken with Niall. I admit, we were a bit upset, but he had been going through a lot, so we weren't too harsh with him.
His friend, Louis, ended up staying with us for a little while longer. I wasn't sure how long he was going to be here, but he was a pretty great lad so it didn't really bother me or the others.
After forgiving Liam for not mentioning Niall to us sooner, I decided to go out for a drink with this guy I had been texting. I had met him at the pub almost a month before. I honestly didn't know much about him, but he was a super sweet guy. At some moments he was quite timid, though. He was easily spooked and wouldn't mention much about his friends. In a way it bothered me, but I knew it would be best to let him speak on his own time.
