No Regrets

14-Paint War

Niall’s P.O.V.
While I sat there, stroking her hair and trying to help her I was trying to figure out what had happened. The song had come on and she just froze. Did she not like that song? Did it have bad memories associated with it? Good memories that she missed? I wanted so badly to ask her but I knew it would make her more upset, so I just pulled her in and she laid her head on my chest. I must admit, I quite enjoyed the position we were in, it felt so comfortable, I only wish she wasn’t crying.
“Come on mates, let’s finish the bedroom. It’s the last room we need to paint.” Zayn respected that she was upset and started to herd the boys into her bedroom. She had explained what she wanted when we first got here so they knew what to do. Char and I stayed in the same position for a few more minutes until I felt her start to sit up. I helped her up and her eyes were red from crying but they didn’t puff up so you didn’t notice right away that she had been crying. She reached her feet and looked up at me with apologetic eyes.
“I’m sorry; it’s just that son...” I cut her off before she got upset again.
“Shh, there’s no need to explain. It obviously upset you, and that’s ok.” I smiled at her to let her know she really didn’t have to explain even though I was curious. She smiled gratefully back at me. “I think the lads are in your bedroom finishing the walls.”
“Ok, im just gonna head into the bathroom and clean up real quick.” I nodded and let go of her hand as I started to walk away which I had been holding to comfort her. As soon as I turned away she grabbed my arm, turned me around and gave me a gently hug. “Thank you.” I smiled and gave her one of my famous hugs, and sure enough when I pulled away her face was lit up in a huge smile. I grinned as I walked towards her bedroom.
As soon as I walked in the lads all looked up and opened their mouths to talk but before they could I said “She’s good, I told her she doesn’t have to explain and it seems like that song just meant something to her that she didn’t really want to deal with.” I noticed how Zayn cast his eyes down as soon as I said it was something she didn’t want to deal with, like he knew something the rest of us didn’t. I was gonna ask but at that very second Char walked in the room looking like she was never crying.
“Sorry. Painting anyone?” She said the last part with a huge smile as she grabbed a brush, dipped it in paint, walked over to the wall next to Louis and then dragged the brush all the way down his arm. His face was one of pure shock while we all started crackin up. Char had the slyest expression on her face like she was daring him to do something about it. Lou’s expression slowly changed into mischievous as he took his brush and slid it up her face. It was Char’s turn to be shocked and before she could react Lou had already ran and hid behind Harry. It soon became a full out paint war on top of the drop cloths. We were careful to avoid the furniture and not dump paint on the floor, but other than that it was a full-on paint war. Everyone was chasing each other throughout the room and we were having a blast. We ran around for a good half hour before we were all covered head to toe in paint.
I stopped in front of the mirror, took one look at all of us and almost peed myself from laughing so hard. I quickly grabbed my phone out and snapped some pics. There was one of Char on Harry’s back as she slapped paint on his face, one where Char was cowering on the wall as the other lads surrounded her, and I go them all to look at the camera in surprise and he picture was awesome. Liam came over and grabbed the phone from me, shoving me over to Char. I tripped over the cloth and ran straight into Char. We started to fall over and I twisted so that she would land on me and not the other way around.
We landed with a thud on the floor, but it didn’t hurt as much as I expected. I looked at Char who was picking her head up from my chest, she was completely lying on top of me and her face was hovering over mine and my heart almost stopped as she looked into my eyes with a small smile tugging at her lips. I stared into her eyes, flicked my eyes towards her lips (which she was sexily biting) then back to her eyes. You could feel the chemistry in the room. I was enjoying the brief moment before “DOG PILE!!” Lou yelled and lightly fell onto Char. She slightly rolled off my body as everyone piled on. “SMILE!” Liam yelled as he took a pic of us all covered in paint in a dog pile.
I saw Char’s lips smile as a laugh escaped her mouth when I started tickling her. The lads caught on and we started a tickle war. Still in the dog pile Liam kept taking pictures of the tickle war and us all having a great time. I saw Lou tickle her arms and when I looked up to her face she was wincing. Zayn had noticed too and we both tackled him off her, passing it by as he was our new target so he didn’t get suspicious. We all had a great laugh tickling each other and eventually we were all on the floor gasping for breath. I looked over to Char to see her smiling like a doofus and playing with a ring. As I watched she brought the ring to her lips, gave it a soft kiss and returned it to her hand. I was curious but didn’t ask.
“Wow. It smells in here!” She said, sitting up and waving her hand in front of her face.
“That was most likely me.” I said; she needed to know that I farted a lot. She looked at me with a weird expression before saying “No it’s not that smell! I’m used to that by now, I don’t care, no I’m talking about the wet paint! It’s giving me a headache!” She dramatically got up and ran out of the room.
“Dude, she’s used to farting, loves to eat, and is super awesome.” Harry said and they all turned to look at me as I started to blush. “Has someone found their Princess? I think so!” He whispered the last part as the lads all walked by me and out towards the living room. I continued to flush a deep red because, I think they were right.
I walked out to join the lads once I had made sure I wasn’t blushing anymore. Char was right though, with the whole flat having been painted today the fumes were starting to get to me. “Let’s crack open some windows! Chars right it does stink!” I went over to the terrace and opened the glass door to let the stink out. I looked back at Char who was just walking around the flat looking at the walls. I went over and joined her. “We did a pretty good painting job, yeah?” The flat did look pretty amazing.

“It’s gorgeous.” She said as she looked at me and smiled. “Thank you.”
“Of course.” I replied with a sweet smile.
“Oy! If you two wouldn’t mind, I think we are gonna head to ours to watch a movie while it airs out in here. You joining?” Lou yelled over at us. I rolled my eyes as we walked back towards the living room.
“Sounds good, but I don’t really feel like watching a movie with paint all over me, I feel like I’m shedding paper seeing as the paint is already dry on me. I’ll just take a shower and meet you guys over there.”
“We painted the bathroom; you can’t take a shower while there is wet paint.” I pointed out.
“My flat’s closest; she can take one in mine and then run back here and grab her stuff while I take one.” Zayn volunteered. I was a little disappointed, I was going to offer mine, but it made more sense for her to use Zayn’s…unfortunately.
“Sure, sounds good thanks. Let me just go grab some clothes and my stuff.” She walked out of the room and returned a minute later with a beach bag in her hands.
“A shower sounds like a good idea, I’m gonna go take one too.” Liam said as he started to head towards the door. “Meet ya there in 20?”
“Shower!” I said in deep voice as I got up to follow Liam with Harry and Lou following after us. “See ya in a few!” I called out to Char. She waved as she grabbed her stuff and followed Zayn to his apartment.

Charlotte’s P.O.V.
“Hey thanks for letting me use your shower.” I called out to Zayn as I set my stuff down in the bathroom. I turned around to shut the door but found him leaning against the doorway. I smirked at him and attempted to push him out of the way but he was too strong.
“Anytime! But I need to ask…” I sighed; I knew what he was talking about.
“That was Kylie’s favorite song. It’s about depression and she said it explained her situation completely. I never really paid attention to it, but now I can’t help but think that if I had paid attention, she might be here today. And sometimes it just hits me that she’s not here, and never will be again, and I just think, how can I have fun knowing I will never see her again? I feel guilty, when I’m with you guys and having fun I forget about the pain for a little, and it makes me feel guilty.” I told him. I wasn’t upset or crying, I was just…talking.
“Look, it’s not your fault. She had a messed up life, she even said that you were one of the best things in her life! How can you blame yourself? I understand that you feel guilty, and it’s only been a few weeks so you have every right to. But I’m here to help you be able to move on from the pain. Not forget it, just move it. It’s probably what she would have wanted.” I sighed because I knew he was right. I needed to start moving on. But it was just so damn hard!
“Yea it is thanks. I’m really glad I have you.” I gave him a quick smile and a hug. “Now get out so I can take a shower!” He smirked and left the room as I closed the door, peeled off my clothes and hopped in the shower.

Zayn’s P.O.V
I flopped onto the floor instead of the bed so I wouldn’t get paint all over it and pulled out my phone. I had a new text from Perrie. I smiled, read her text and sent a reply back. I hadn’t seen her in a few days because she was busy with her band, but I really missed her. Luckily we were meeting up tomorrow and I was really excited! Perrie and I kept texting back and forth and she kept making me smile bigger and laugh. I was in the middle of replying when I heard something.
Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows
To know you can never look back

My head perked up as I heard a voice gently singing. I got up and went to look out in the hallway only to hear that it was coming from the bathroom. I hovered outside the door, wanting to hear her sing.
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

Her voice was gentle and sweet. It wasn’t trained, but it was still appealing. I smiled and went back to reply to Perrie. I didn’t know she could sing. I listened to her voice as I texted Perrie until I heard the shower turn off and her voice stopped. A few minutes later she came out with a towel wrapped around her hair and some comfy clothes on.
“Who ya texting?” She asked as she gathered up her stuff.
“Perrie.” She turned around with her mouth wide open.
“Perrie…Edwards? Form Little Mix? Your girlfriend?!” She asked slowly.
“Yeah that’s her.” I said with a little laugh.
“OOHHHMMYYYGOOODDD!!! I LOVE LITTLE MIX!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE DATING HER! I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE TALKING OT HER! Okay, I’m done.” She freaked out and did a little dance and then calmed down at the end. My eyes grew wide as I watched her.
“How come you didn’t do that for us?” I asked with a fake hurt expression.
“Oh I did, just not in front of you guys. When I was at the flat I went into my room to grab something and kinda flipped out for a few seconds. I flipped out again at the hospital when you guys were texting me.”
“Seriously?! That’s awesome! I’m glad you are a fan but didn’t fangirl in front of us. Its one of the reasons we decided to hag with you, cause your super chill!” I saw her smile as she took in what I said.
“Thanks! Anyways have fun talking to PERRIE!!! I’m gonna go put some stuff away and how ‘bout you swing by my flat on your way there so you can show me the way?”
“Sounds good!” I hopped up off the floor and headed towards the bathroom as she started to walk out. “Oh, and by the way, nice voice.” I winked at her and then shut the bathroom door as her mouth dropped open.

Charlotte’s P.O.V.
I walked out of his apartment still appalled that he heard me singing. I thought I was quite but I love that song so much that I probably got louder. Oh well. I opened the door and headed to the bedroom. I opened the glass door to the terrace and shut the screen door because the paint smell was still there. I headed into the bathroom and took the towel out of my hair. I brushed through what little hair I still had and quickly put it in a fishtail. I straightened my Hogwarts hoodie and put some light brown slippers on. I also had on turquoise sweats that bunched at the ankles. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=76358013
I went to the stereo and grabbed my phone to see I had a few messages from my parents, Bri and tons from the guys. Almost all of them were sent within the last five minutes. Most simply saying WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!? And HHHUUUURRRRRYYYYY!!! I laughed at them and opened the door as I heard Zayn knock. We greeted each other and I saw that he was also in sweats and a hoodie. We talked about Perrie and Little Mix on the way to the guys flat because I was a HUGE fan. I never realized that it was going to be more than just a movie night…
