Getting the Band Back Together

Chapter 17 (Louis' POV) Am I Really That Bad?

(Louis' POV)

This was awful! I turned around and saw a mob of screaming fans coming over the horizon towards us. We needed to get out of here fast. I looked over to Lauren, but she was out of it. Mary and Brandi weren't hysterically crying from the hate anymore, but Lauren looked pale and nervous. I looked to the direction she was looking and noticed a girl coming towards us calmly, but she had a shirt that said I <3 LouBear on it so I fgured she was a fan. As she got closer and closer to the window, Lauren seemed to get paler and paler. Maybe she knew this girl from somewhere, or maybe not. I dont know. She got up to the car and knocked on it. I rolled down the window and she began to spoke.

Girl-Hey, do you need help?"

Lou-"No, we'll make it, but thanks." This girl gave me a bad vibe, which usuallyI didn't believe in that stuff, but this was weird.

Girl-"I know a place to hide you." I looked at Lauren to ask for her opinion, but she was still in her own world looking scared. I turned and looked at the others who were now looking at me like it was an obvious answer and then I turned to the mob who was pretty close.

Lou-"Ya, thanks." We all climbed out of the car, but Lauren wasn't behind. I turned around and she was sitting there. Still pale and looking off into space. I was really worried about her now, but I just grabbed her and carried her in my arms bridal style and ran. Harry was pulling Mary by the hand and Brandi was on Nialls back. Liam and Zayn were in the back. They could keep us all together. All of a sudden, the girl turned into a dark, thin alley that had a gate at the end. We turned in and Liam shut the gate behind him quickly. The fans past and I rested Lauren on the ground. She looked up at the girl and grabbed me to whisper in my ear.

L-"Don't trust her" I looked down at her and she had a serious and worried look on her face. I trust Lauren and if she doesn't think the girls trustworthy, then she's not. I turned around to face the girl who was now pushing Liam, Zayn, Niall, and Harry into a back door. I looked at her confused, but realized what was sort of going on. She was a hater. She hated the girls and wanted us to get away from them. She closed the door and locked it after telling the boys that she would help Mary and Brandi and Lauren and I in, but before we could even start to walk over, she slammed the door and locked it. A smile spread across her face as she looked down at the lock. She looked up and looked directly at Lauren who looked like she was scared, but was trying to be tough for the other girls. 

M-"What do you want?"

Girl-"I wantyou away from the boys and I especially want Louis." She looked at me with a crazy, lustful smile. I saw Lauren's eyes narrow at the girls words and suddeny she didn't look scared anymore.

L-"You can't have them. Your just jealous of what the three of us have found. You don't deserve a guy as amazing as Louis. You don't deserve anyone. You deserve to get arrested and set straight." As she was talking, I reached into my pocket and texted Simon our loction and a very short summary of what was happening to him.

Girl-"No Lauren, your mistaken. A trashy, gold digging,ugly, brat like you doesn't deserve someone like Louis." Just then, I got angry.

Lou-"No one talks to her that way. No body." I walked up to the girl and stood in front of her intimidately, but all she did was laugh.

Girl-"You will be mine Louis Tomlinson." Just then she reached up and kissed me. She grabbed my head and I couldn't get away. After I pulled away, I saw Lauren behind the girl with tears in her eyes. She then ran over to Mary and cried into her shoulder.

L-"I knew it. I knew he couldn't be trusted."

M-"Shhh, Lauren, it's ok. Calm down."

Lou-"Lauren, I never-" Just then we heard a car screaching at the end of the alley. It crashed into the chain fence and out jumped Paul! I hadn't seen him in years and he looked rather OLD, but still fit and big.

P-"Step aay from the boy." He walked over and grabbed the girl before she could run away. He took the keys from her and handed them to me and motioned to the door that the boys were in. I went over and unlocked it as the police showed up and arrested the girl. Harry came out a immediately embraced Mary and she embraced him back. I watched their actions from a distance. It was like nothing could tear them apart. 

M-"I guess that was my first crazy fan experience." Harry looked down at the ground infront of her, but still had his hands on her hips.

H-"Ya, Im so sorry Mary. Maybe we shouldn't go back to fame." Mary put her hand under his chin and lifted his head up.

M-"Are you kidding me? I've waited five years for you boys to return to fame and one crazed fan isn't gonna make me stop you from your dream." Harry looked into her yes and smiled and hugged her again. Everyone was hugging. Even Paul, when he returned, gave Zayn a hug. Niall was checking Brandi over to make sure she was ok as she tried to convinve him that everything was fine. Finally he accepted her safety and gave her a huge Horan hug. I noticed her face turn pink and wondered if she was thinking about how almost every girl has, at least once, wanted a Horan hug.I smiled at the love in this dark alley and looked around for Lauren. I needed to talk to her about that kiss. I looked over and saw Liam in the corner hugging someone, but all I saw was Liams back hunched over so I couldn't see who was nfront of him. He turned a little and it was Lauren. She was crying into his shoulder. I heard their conversation, but just barely.

L-"What is wrong with me? Guys never stick around with me. AmI that bad Liam? Am I that hard to love?"

Li-"No, of course not Lauren" He pulled her into another hug and wrapped his arms around her waist. I got mad. In fact, I was steeming inside, but I decided to leave it alone for now. She just needs space. I hope-
