Riley's P.O.V
"Harry what the actual fuck?" Louis had passed out from all the blows to his head. one minute I'm fatally making up with Louis and the next thing Harry storms in and practically kills him, everyone had a terrified look on their face.

"Why weren't you answering your fucking phone?" I felt all the anger well up inside me I was going to blow, "answer me."

"Why am I not answering my damn phone, oh I don't know because Louis came over, and why were you contacting everyone it your fucking phone to come over here. If I was in trouble Harry, you wouldn't bring along a fucking army to do the goddamn work for you. I was fine, I'm old enough to take care of myself Jesus you don't control my fucking life Harry...dont you have a damn girlfriend or something?" I finished feeling some what relived.

"Yeah, you." He mumbled not dating to look me in the eyes. I huffed and sat down watching Louis come to scrambling into a corner away from Harry.

"I care about you Riley and he's been cheating on you ever since you started dating. I knew that, already. "but you still love him I don't get it I mean our company is falling because of him, and your just going to be one of his little girlfriends. Because he doesn't give a shit about you at all, I do. God we've been friends since kindergarten, I thought you'd see that I love you." Harry screamed at me, putting more pressure on my head.

"Cmon Lou let me get you some ice." I pulled him up and took him into the bedroom letting him rest a bit, walking back down the hall.

Everyone still stood there, eyes wandering around the room. I quickly shut the door holding on to the knob. "Harry I'm okay." I looked into his eyes, pleading him to take everyone and leave.

"I know but Louis told me he was going to finish your relationship for good because he was now in one with Eleanor...im only protecting you." I nodded watching them walk back down the stairs and out the door.

Closing the door, all of my bottled up emotions came out. Sliding down the door hot tears ran down my face ruining my makeup.

"Riley," I looked up at Ryan, I thought everyone had gone back with Harry,
"what's that room upstairs for."

A shaky breath escaped my mouth, as I tried to come up with an explanation. "Uhm.. that was a long time ago when me and Lou were nineteen or twenty, and I was pregnant but I had a miscarriage." She sat down next to me trying to comfort me.

Ryan's P.O.V
"It's kinda hard having three guys fall in love with you innit?" I asked looking at her concentrated face.

"Yeah," Riley picked her head up and gave me a look, "wait three." I nodded.

"Louis, Harry, and Niall." Oh wait she didn't know about Niall, shit. Dammit I always do that.

"No Niall is my best friend he doesn't love me, Harry doesn't either I know that because he always says that but he never means it... but Louis...Lou can't make up his mind." she shook her head and got up.

"Well do you want me to take you home, since Harry left." I nodded and got up walking to the car. I wondered if Louis hadn't done Eleanor, if we'd be in a different situation. No one would really be expressing they're feelings all of a sudden just because Riley was vulnerable.

She couldn't wave it off and says she was in a serious relationship, because she wasn't. Riley was single and all of the things she ignored is coming back to attack her.

I don't understand why I didn't happen when she was younger. When all of them had a chance. This is like The battle of the five armies in the Hobbit, only there were three people and they fought for Riley.

I'm just in the middle of it all.
