Peacemaker

Chapter thirty- Leaving

Lea's point of view.....

"LOUIS!" I scream at the top of my lungs

"YEAH?" He screams louder, sliding out of his room with his socks

"Justin's here" I say glumly, and he comes over and wraps his arms around me

"Hey baby," he says softly "it's only for a few weeks. He's really not that bad. He's a great mate" I nod unconvincingly

"Okay, whatever. Just don't expect me to be nice or friendly. Unless he actually is as good as you think he is, and THEN, I will consider being nice and friendly" Louis shrugs

"Sounds like a compromise" he says, before taking my hand and pulling me into the lounge room.

Elizabeth's point of view......

To tell the truth, Justin really isn't that bad. He seems really nice, funny. I notice he hasn't let go of Pippa's hand yet. Understandable, since the two haven't seen each other in months. We all gather in the lounge room. It's funny, now we are all complete. Liam is holding my hand, Niall is holding Sophia's hand. Zayn has an arm wrapped securely around Alix's shoulders, and Skye is leaning into Harry, who has his arms loosely around her waist, and Louis is clutching Lea's hand, but maybe that's just to get her into the room, because the look in her face suggests she wants to be anywhere but here. But we all have our partners. Oh, except for Hazel, but she's not part of our family. She's weird, Hazel. She has that look about her that makes you wonder what she's up to.

Indigo's point of view.......

I need a notepad for all this stuff. I quickly excuse myself from our party to go to the bathroom. Once there, I whip out my phone and dial my boss

"Hello?" A gravelly voice I know all to well answers

"Hi, it's Indie" I say "I have some great news!" I explain everything as fast as I can.

"You are doing a very good job Indie" my boss says "keep it up. But I need you back in London in two weeks to finalise the articles"

"No problem" I say "I'll snoop around, dig up as much as I can. I have a feeling there's a dirty little secret just waiting to be found." With that, we hang up, and I flush the toilet. As I walk out, I bump into someone.

Zayn Malik....

Zayn's point of view......

That awkward moment when you overhear a girl who's supposed to be completely innocent and helpless talking on the phone and saying she's going to snoop around and dig up dirty secrets. Ummmmmm.......

"Oh my God Zayn!" Hazel -Indie?- says "you scared me!" I can tell she's trying to adjust her personality, go back to being helpless, but she's too flustered.

"Look," I say "Hazel, Indie, whatever. I think you should leave" she blushes

"But.....the man....he'll kill me" I shake my head

"From what I've heard, you'll be just fine." I put a hand firmly on her back and push her back to the lounge room.

Alix's point of view......

I feel sick. I don't know why, I just do. Maybe I'm coming down with something. Or something bad is going to happen.

A that moment, Zayn comes back in with Hazel.

"Uh, guys?" He says "important news. Indie here, is leaving" there is a gasp from all of us

"Wait!" I say "indie? Where did that come from?" Zayn gives "Hazel" a look and she steps forward

"I'm not Hazel Smith," she admits "my name is Indigo Tanner, and I'm a reporter from Gossip magazine. I came here to get some information for my column."

"Indigo Tanner?" Justin says "I know you! You're the one who stole my laptop three months ago!"
