I wake up from Liam shifting his weight on the bed. We must have fell asleep during the movie but I can't remember. I turn to face Liam and he's in the closet, hanging up my clothes from my bags.

"What the hell are you doing?" I ask him as I rub my eyes.

"I'm putting your clothes away?" He says.

"Why?" I ask him and he shoots his head towards me.

"Because you are staying here and you are never going back to that house. Ever." He says in a stern voice, clenching his jaw.

"Okay, but honestly Liam. Who puts clothes away at nine in the morning?" I ask him and he laughs and shakes his head.

"Go back to bed grump ass." He teases and I lay back down.

I stare at the ceiling for at least an hour and I give up on the point of sleeping. I decide to get and limp my way over to Liam to help him hang up my clothes. When I reach him, he is grinning and I playfully hit him.

After we hang all my clothes, I decide to stay in the bedroom and watch tv while Liam gets a shower. I'm not ready to present myself in front of the boys yet, I'm too embarrassed. The fact that I was violated this way is one thing, but it's another thing that everyone knows. I pull the blanket up to my chin and I turn the tv off.

I hear a light knock on the door and I sink further down into the bed, pulling the sheets over my head. The door creaks open then shuts once again. Footsteps paddle against the floor over to me, the figure sitting beside me on the bed.

"Leah, it's me Harry. Are you okay love?" He whispers to me as if he thought I was sleeping.

"I'm fine. Please go away." I beg him, my voice cracks from being on the verge of crying.

"I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. If you need anything I'm here for you babe." He reassures me.

Before he could get up, I slowly pull my face out of the blanket. His eyes go straight to my cheek, then goes to my eyes as he tries to not make me anymore uncomfortable then I already am.

"Please don't leave." I beg him. I changed my mind, I really don't want to be left alone.

Relief flushes over his face as I beg him. I scoot over to make room for him and he sits beside me. He gently wraps one arm around my shoulders and I lay my head on his chest, letting the smell of vanilla candles fill my nose. I wrap my one arm around his torso, he pulls me closers and pain shoots through me.

"Oww... Please don't do that, I'll scoot over." I wince and I scoot myself closer to him.

"Sorry." He whispers.

We sit in silence for a while with his arms wrapped around me. I never thought I would feel this safe with my brother and four boys who like me being around. It gives me security.

Minutes later there's another knock on the door and Louis walks in. A smile immediately appears on my face and I tap my hand on the empty space on the bed on the other side of me. His eyes travel from my cheek to my bump on my head then meets my eyes, I can see the pain on his face, he knows what exactly happened. He climbs into bed with me and Harry and scoots as close as he can to me. I keep my head on Harry's chest and I drape my legs over Louis's legs. He puts his one hand on my knee then quickly pulls it away. I give him a small smile and a nod and he replaces it back on my knee. I reach my free hand over to him, grabbing his other hand and I intertwine my fingers with his.

I wait for the moment of them to start fighting over me, but they don't. The door creaks open once again and Niall walks in. I feel guilty for not able to give him a chance yet and I can see the disappointment in his eyes.

"Care to join us? Liam's bed is obviously big enough." I say in a low voice and his face lights up and walks towards the bed.

"Grab the remote for the tv please." He grabs it off the night stand and squeezes beside Harry, filling the width of the bed completely.

"What do you guys want to watch?" I ask and they all shake their heads.

"Oh let's watch 'Horrible Bosses.' It's hilarious." Harry suggests.

"Okay but Leah warning you it's very bad." Niall says in a baby voice and we all laugh as Niall puts it on.

Harry was right, the movie is absolutely hilarious and we laugh our ass off. Halfway through the movie, Zayn walks in and I tense up. Louis notices and lightly squeezes my hand. For a minute I expect the guys to force him out, but I forgot Louis is the only one who knows what happened between us besides me and Zayn.

"Can I join you guys?" He asks in a low voice, keeping his head down.

"There's room at the end of the bed." I tell him and he lays at the bottom, not making eye contact with me.

We continue to watch the movie and we laugh the whole way through it. After the movie finishes, we watch another movie and then Liam walks in.

"What the hell is this! Party in Liam's room without telling me?" He says over dramatically.

"Sorry bro. Come on I'm sure we can fit another person in your bed." I say smirking at him and he shakes his head.

"I can't I have to go to the store to get some things for Anna, she's coming tomorrow." He tells us and Harry chuckles.

"I could only imagine what you have to get Mr. Payne." Harry grins and we all laugh, Liam laughs too.

"Oh whatever. Would you like me to pick anything up for dinner?" Liam asks us.

"Dinner?" Niall asks in confusion.

"Yes dinner. It's almost five. You all have been in here for hours." Liam answers.

"Where have you been for those hours?" I ask and he shrugs.

"I had to clean the house because I live with four pigs." He says and I giggle.

"Oink oink." Niall makes pig noises.

"We are not slobs!" Zayn playfully yells at him.

"So do you want anything for dinner?" He asks again.

"I want the normal." I tell him and he nods.

"What's that?" Louis questions us.

"Hot wings and pizza. Oh and hot sauce for the pizza." Liam answers and the boys' mouth falls open.

"Same." They all say in unison.

Liam starts to walk out the door but stops and turns to me.

"And since Anna is staying, Leah you have to decide which one of the boys' rooms you are sleeping in." He says then rushes out the door.

What the hell. Really Liam? This is going to be interesting to pick. The boys look at each other, then direct their eyes back to the tv.
