Diana

Eleven - Louis' Secret

Previously

In the dark night, I sat on a platform and made my self ready to check the messages. My heart skipped a beat after reading them. Tears raced down my cheeks faster than ever. No, this shouldn't happen. I went down on my knees. The entrance doors were opened, Louis walked out. I stood up and ran to him with a dim vision as my tears made everything blurred. I placed my hands on his shoulders and looked at the drops of tears on my shoes. "Why? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked him as I fell on my knees in the darkness of the night and my soul.

Present

The coldness of the night didn't leave my body yet. It's been a while since Louis and I came inside. It's been a while since we even looked at each other. I was still furious about it, he didn't have to hide it.

Louis revealed to them what I found out. Confused looks spread their faces. "Wait, wait, wait. You knew about Diana's problem the whole time?" Harry questioned Louis. "Yes, just a few hours before she told all of us" he answered."So you were threatened by Sam?" Niall looked at Louis."DUDE, it's not like that. Firstly, I wasn't threatened by their warnings. Secondly, y'all didn't understand what happened. I'll sum it up. Okay?" he turned his head from Niall to the others."Yeah, tell clearly Lou," Harry said.

He moved from his seat. Our eyes were fixed upon him as he stood at the middle. He took a deep breath before he began. "So, during the concert in London, we saw her crying and I promised her that I'll help her right. Then I even texted her 'Don't worry. I'll help you get through'. They might've seen that message. A few hours before we met at Harriet's, I received a call from an unknown number. He warned me to stop helping her and if I don't change my mind, he'll hurt Diana and spoil my reputation. I just had a gist of her problem before she revealed it." he said in an intense tone. "Woahh, that's a lot," Zayn said with his eyes wide open. Louis agreed in a response.

"Now I know why you were very silent that night" Liam got up from his seat. Louis rolled his eyes and said, "I was just trying to focus."

"Do they still call you?" Gemma asked. "Umm..yes, just a few freaking warnings," he said. "But why didn't you tell me?" I said as I stood up to face him." I didn't want it to bother you. You were already going through a lot" he said in a concerned while he walked closer. "No, Louis, this is worse. Now, they are behind you too" I took a few steps backwards and sat beside Zayn. I covered my face with my hands so that I could stop myself from crying. "D, don't cry. I hate it to see you like this," Zayn comforted me. "I messed up again. I don't want anything to happen to anyone" I spoke with a broken voice.

I raised my voice as I stood up, "I don't want anyone to get involved, okay? Just leave it." "But Diana," Harry came forward. "We are tryna help you" Liam completed Harry's sentence. "Putting yourselves at risk is not as same as helping me" I pleaded them.

We sat in silence for the next five minutes. Everyone in their own thoughts and none of us looked at each other. I finally spoke, "I think it's time. I'll go back to where it all started and deal with it by myself. Bye guys, I decided I am going back to India."

The silence was saturated more, now. Louis broke it as his shoes made a sound when he was jumping around. Why was he jumping? No clue. "Louis, I think you heard it wrong. I'm not staying here I'm leaving for good" I tried to clarify him.

"Diana, give me a minute" his eyes were overfilled with happiness. He whispered in Zayn's ear and Zayn's face was lit up with enthusiasm, so did Harry's, Liam's and Niall's when Louis told them. Ryan and Gemma were as confused as I was.

"She said she wants to leave, Harry. Are you happy about that?" Gemma went to him. "Gem, wait for a second," he told her. For the next few minutes, I could only hear the shuffling of feet and the sharing of words between the five boys. Liam arranged the others in a line so that they stood in front of my eyes. Their arms were around each other's shoulders and their lips exposing their teeth. Harry started, "1, 2, 3. Go!." "WE'RE COMING ALONG WITH YOU TO INDIA!" their voices hit the walls of the gallery and echoed perfectly.
