I've been laying in my bed all day. I didn't want to see Louis or even hear his voice. So, I've been hiding in my bed all day. I only get up to use the bathroom. Everyone has tried to get me out of bed, but I refused.

I know that I should get up and deal with it, but Louis really hurt me. I don't know where he got those terrible ideas of me from. It really hurts when your best friend says all of that to you. Louis didn't even seem like he felt bad when he said all of that to me. He was angry at me for something I didn't do.

The bedroom door creaks open and I roll over on my side to face the wall. Whoever is at the door, I don't want to talk to them. They can walk in and think I'm sleeping then they can leave. Almost everyone has visited me today. Everyone except for Louis. He hasn't even bothered to see how I was. Harry told me that Louis has locked himself up in his room, leaving the guys locked out. I still don't want to leave my room.

"I know you're not sleeping." Harry states.

Dang. Maybe if I stay still he will get the hint and just leave.

"You can't hide in your bed all day. Louis locked himself in our bedroom. At least come out and eat some lunch. You haven't ate anything all day." Harry continues.

"I'm not hungry." I speak up.

"I highly doubt that. It's two in the afternoon."

I feel my bed dip down near the side. Great. He sat down. That means he won't leave until I get up. I don't want to get up. Yes, I am hungry, but I don't want to see Louis. Harry said he locked himself in his room, but what if he came out when I was downstairs. I don't want to fight with him. Or even see him for that matter. He is a douche.

"If you come downstairs, I'll make you an ice cream sundae." Harry pokes my back, gently.

That does sound pretty good right now. No, Carter. Resist the urge. You don't want to get up. What if this is a trick and Louis is waiting in the living room?

"Please, Carter?" Harry pleads. "Just come down for an hour. Then you can come back up here. I'll make sure that Louis stays up in his room."

I uncover my head with the blanket. "Promise?"

"I promise." Harry swears.

"Fine." I toss the covers off of my body. "Let's go."

Harry stands up to allow me to climb out of bed. I straighten out my oversized grey sweatshirt. My black shorts are hidden beneath my huge sweater. My sweater hangs off of my right shoulder. My feet already have socks on them, but I slide into Cher's black Ugg boots.

"Uh." Harry scratches the back of his head.

"What?" I frown at him.

"Are you-" Harry clears his throat. "Are you wearing any pants?" He looks down and blushes.

I grip the bottom of my sweater and lift it up to reveal my black shorts. "Of course I am."

"Good." Harry's cheeks start to go back to their original cover. "Ready?"

"No, but I'm going anyways." I tell him.

"Let's go, love." Harry grabs my wrist, preventing me from escaping.

I let him lead me all the way downstairs. Pajie, Esther, Mary, Sophia, Rebecca, Treyc, Zayn, and Liam are all sitting in the living room watching tv. Harry leads me straight past them to the kitchen. We turn to the corner and step right into the kitchen. The only person in the kitchen is Cher. She is sitting on a bar stool by the counter.

Harry motions for me to sit down next to Cher. I pull the chair out and sit down quietly. Cher doesn't even notice me sit down because she has her headphones in her ears and her eyes are closed. Her pointer finger is tapping to the beat of the music on the counter. Harry reaches forward and yanks her headphones out of her ears.

"Ow! Harry!" Cher's eyes snap open. Harry points to me. Cher turns her head and breaks out in a huge grin. "Carter!"

"Hey." I give her a small wave.

Cher envelops me in a hug. "How are you?"

"I'm okay." I shrug.

Cher pulls away and narrows her eyes at me. "I know that is a lie, but I won't argue with you."

"Thanks."

"Harry, how did you get her out of her room? I've tried everything." Cher turns to Harry, who is getting all of the ingredients for my ice cream sundae.

"I told I would make sure that Louis stayed locked up in his room." Harry takes the container of vanilla ice cream out.

Cher nods. "Okay. One thing."

"What?" Harry sets a medium sized bowl down on the counter.

"If you're down here, then who is making sure that Louis stays up in his room?" Cher raises an eyebrow.

Harry grabs a slightly larger bowl. "I promised I would make Niall a large ice cream sundae if he guarded Louis's door."

I should have known. Niall would do anything for food. He would probably jump off a cliff if he knew a massive buffet was waiting for him at the bottom. I'm just glad that someone is up there to make sure that Louis stays in his room.

I don't want to see him.

Or even hear his voice.

I want nothing to do with Louis.

At all.

"What do you want on your sundae?" Harry starts to scoop the ice cream in my bowl.

My eyes scan over the items on the counter. "Rainbow sprinkles, whipped cream, cherries, white chocolate chips, and hot fudge." I grin.

Harry grabs everything I just listed and adds it to my sundae. He added the hot fudge first and then the whipped cream. My sundae is about eight inches tall. I'm not sure how I am going to eat all of this. Maybe I could get Aiden or Matt to help me out. I hope they don't think I'm just using them.

"Bon appetit!" Harry places the large bowl of ice cream in front of me.

"Thanks, Harry." I smile at him.

"I'm going to take this up to Niall." Harry carries the other bowl in his hands. "I'll be right back."

"I'll come with you." Cher jumps off of her stool. "I was about to head upstairs anyways."

I watch both of them leave the kitchen. I grab two other spoons and pick up my ice cream. I would go in the living room, but almost everyone is in there. I don't feel like talking to everybody. Hopefully, Aiden and Matt are downstairs.

I quietly sneak to the stairs without being noticed. Everyone is too preoccupied by the movie on the tv screen. I make my way downstairs to the game room. I hear two familiar voices float through the room. I knew they would be down here.

Matt and Aiden are chilling on the couch in front of the tv. Matt is texting someone one his mobile. Aiden is flipping through the channels on the tv. Neither one of them notice me in the room. A small space is in between the two of them. I walk up to them and sit down.

Matt's head snaps up first. "Carter?"

"Hi, guys." I smile at them and adjust the bowl on my lap. Matt and Aiden share a look then glance at me. "Don't look at me like that. I just want to talk to you two like nothing happened."

"Okay." Aiden agrees.

"Are those spoons for us?" Matt points at the two spoons in my hands.

"You mean these spoons?" I wave them in front of their faces. "You can share this ice cream with me as long as you promise not to bring up you know who."

"Voldemort?" Aiden frowns.

"What?" I giggle.

"You Know Who is Voldemort." Aiden explains to me.

"I thought Voldemort was He Who Should Not Be Named?" Matt asks, confused.

"Technically, he is Tom Riddle." Aiden adds.

"Everyone calls him the Dark Lord, though." Matt tells him.

"Voldemort has lots of names!" I interrupt them. "Now, if you two would rather argue about his names then I'll just go find someone else to share this delicious sundae with."

I start to stand up and feel their hands pull me back down on the couch. I knew they were going to do that. Both of them pluck the spoons out of my hands and dig into the ice cream. I pick up my own spoon and dig in.

"Can I ask one thing?" Matt hesitantly asks me.

I let out a small sigh. I knew they would ask me something. "What is it?"

"Are you ever going to talk to him?"

I lower my spoon. Will I ever talk to Louis again? He was my best friend. He really hurt me, though. Louis hasn't even bothered to apologize. It's like he doesn't even care that he hurt my feelings.

"I don't know." I tell them, honestly. "He really hurt me. Louis knows nothing about my past. Yet, he said that I made up the whole thing about me being a terrible singer. I wasn't lying about that. For the longest time, I thought I was a terrible singer. I would never make something like that up."

"Do you guys really think that I'm using you? Do I look like that kind of person? I consider you two to be my best friends. Just like with Harry and Niall. Does Louis not realise how much I like him? Or does he just consider me as a slut? Is that what everyone thinks of me?" I realise I started to cry.

Matt wipes away my tears with his thumb. "No one thinks you're a slut. I don't know where Louis got that idea from. He is just being stupid."

"I just don't understand." I cry. "Louis is my best friend. Why would he say something like that to me?"

Matt takes the sundae and sets it on the floor. Aiden pulls me towards his chest and hugs me. I wrap my arms around Aiden's waist and silently cry. I didn't want to cry in front of anyone. I'm not going to let anyone else see me cry.

I jump out Aiden's arms. "I'm going back upstairs."

"Carter!" Matt calls after me.

I jog up the stairs quickly. It was stupid to come downstairs. I'm not ready to talk to everyone. It just hurts to talk about it. Does Louis even realise how much he hurt me? Or does he just not care?

"Carter?" Harry yells at me when I pass the second floor.

"Carter?"

I stop running up the stairs and look down at who called my name. Louis is standing a few feet behind Harry with a sad expression on his face. What is he doing out of his room? I thought Niall was guarding the door?

"I am so sorry." Louis steps forward. "I didn't mean any of it. Craig lied to me about something."

So, Craig did say something to Louis and he believed Craig. I shake my head and continue up the stairs.

"Carter! I'm sorry!"

I whip around to stare down at him. "An apology isn't going to fix this. You really screwed up. Goodbye, Louis."

Louis slumps his shoulders and his mouth pops open. I roll my eyes at him. I continue up the stairs to my bedroom. Does he really think an apology will make everything better? Louis can just apologise and we'll be best friends again? No hard feelings.

It doesn't work like that.
