Lauren's POV:

Chandler hadn't really left her room since we got back unless it was for food or to use the bathroom. We left almost two months ago.

Every single time I asked her to go back with me, she began mumbling about how we couldn't go back or the 'things' would get Louis.

I had decided that this was it. It was ridiculously hard to see my best friend go through this.

All of the other girls had kept asking me what was wrong with her, but I shrugged them off, knowing she was very private about her emotions.

I walked into her room to find her lying on her bed, staring at the mirror. She had a look in her eyes that I couldn't pinpoint.

I let out a sigh, letting her know I was there before shutting the door and locking it. Kaitlyn was still gone at her mom's house.

Chandler sat up, looking at me with her eyebrows raised.

" What are you doing? " she asked, her voice coming out small.

" We are going back, and you can't say no. " I added the last part quickly.

" No. " she said simply and fell back onto her pillow.

I walked over and pulled her up and out of her bed.

" Yes. "

Before she could protest any further, I pulled her through. I stumbled into the other room and Chandler followed.

Chandler's POV:

I saw Louis laying in his bed, staring at the ceiling. He shot up as soon as he saw that someone had come through the mirror.

I wiggled my arm out of Lauren's grasp and rushed over to him, tackling him with a hug. We fell back onto his bed and he let out a relieved chuckle.

" I missed you too." he said, hugging me tighter.

After we held the embrace for a while, Lauren cleared her throat awkwardly.

I sighed and pulled away from Louis. I looked over to her. She was rocking back and forth on her heels, looking at the wall.

" We can't stay.. " I said softly.

" Yes you can! I don't care what Zayn says, you are staying for at least an hour. " Louis said sternly.

I glanced between him and Lauren.

" Fine. "

Louis did a small cheer and Lauren broke into a smile, causing me to smile as well.

Louis led us down the stairs into the living room. I felt my heart leap as I saw the boys that I had grown to miss in these past months.

My heart dropped, however, when my eyes rested on Zayn. His eyes locked with mine and an emotion flashed through them before turning into a dark color.

" I thought I told you to leave. " he snapped, causing the other boys to turn to us.

" You didn't say anything about coming back. " I fired back with sudden confidence.

He stood up abruptly, stepping towards us. Louis immediately reacted by stepping in front of me.

" Don't touch her. " he growled.

Zayn scoffed. " Since when did the two of you become so close? "

Louis stayed silent.

Zayn rolled his eyes, strolling towards us casually.

" And who is this? " he asked, circling Lauren.

" I'm Lauren, and stop that. " she said.

" Stop what? " Zayn asked in an innocent tone, taunting her.

" Circling me like you're some kind of predator! " she snapped.

He let out a deep chuckle. He leaned down and whispered something in her ear, causing her eyes to widen and her face to pale.

" Zayn just stop. " someone said from the couch.

I turned to see Harry looking in our direction, his usually bright green eyes a darker color.

" What are you gonna do about it, Styles? " Zayn responsed.

I sunk into Lou's back as Zayn stopped walking right in front of us. He had a wicked smirk plastered on his lips.

" Can't fight your own battles Chandler? Gonna make your little boyfriend get hurt for you? That's very selfish. I thought more of yo- "

He was cut off by Louis throwing a punch to his jaw. My mouth dropped open in shock.

Zayn fell to the ground, holding his jaw. He spit out some blood smirking.

"Nice arm on him at least." he said coldly.

Louis was about to continue but I stopped him. " Louis don't."

He turned to look at me, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

I shook my head at him and started backing away. Was this what I did to all of them? Turned them against each other?

" Chandler I- "

I turned and bolted up the stairs, not listening to whatever he was saying behind me. I quickly ran into their room, tumbling through the mirror.

I lay on the floor, trying not to cry. I couldn't do that to them anymore, I just couldn't.

><><><><><><><><><><><><

A/N: Sorry, that was a bad chapter but I just need like fluff so I can get a transition going.

I was only gonna keep this book in Chandler's POV but I needed a different POV to describe how she was all depressed and what not.

Any opinions on Zayn?
