Let Me Be Your Wings (Butterflies Sequel)

Chapter 8

                                                                       -Arianna-

"WHAT?!!! That's impossible! They were so happy! What happened?!" I yelp as Zayn turns around and begins to drive the opposite direction. He frowns and shakes his head.

"I have no idea, I'm as shocked as you. I never saw this coming. Poor Lou!" I crease my eyebrows and my lip falls into a pout. How could the happiest couple I have met--besides Liam and Niall--ever have to struggle with cheating? 

"Poor Harry, too." I think out loud, "He must be so confused." Zayn pulls onto a quiet street lined with quaint apartments; just the place I had imagined Louis living.

"Yeah, I'm sure he is." Zayn agrees, pulling into a parking space and turning off the car. I begin to get out of the car and he joins me on the sidewalk and wraps his arm around my shoulders.

"Let's go heal some hearts and satiate some tummies." He kisses me on the forehead and holds up the bag of food we had been sent to pick up originally. I smile up at him as he leads me into the building.

"Hey Arianna! How are you? You look beautiful, as usual!" Liam exclaims, giving me a hug. I giggle and hug him back. He is such a teddy bear, I adore Zayn's friends!

"Oh, Liam, you're such a  sweetheart, thank you!" I reply. He smiles happily at Zayn and I, always the protective one, making sure we are happy. Louis gets up from his spot on the couch, but I hop over to him and push him back down, shaking my finger.

"Ah-ah-ah. Don't move! I am an expert on handling you boys' heartbreak by now. Zaynie, Liam bring the ice cream, the movie and the hot chocolate! Hurry!"

I like to think there are three steps to heart break: 1. Crying and Pouting, 2. Hating and Avoiding, 3. Talking and Moving on. But with this pair, I want no hating and no moving on! I want there to be crying, talking and moving on together. I plop down next to Lou, and he automatically leans his head on my shoulder and breaks into tears all over again.

I smile sadly, farmiliar with the sensation of heartbreak. I vividly remember my last heartbreak...it was a boy named Damian, and we broke up mutually, but only because I could tell we were drifting apart and he didn't want me anymore. I really, really liked him and I kept talking to him once we had split. But one day, he went all out and yelled at me. He told me I never was his type and that he didn't care we broke up. My heart shattered when he told me my problems were worthless and he needed to stop wasting his time. Ever since then, I have been very good at dealing with my own heartbreaks...and other people's...but this one is a very special case. It is a mutual heartbreak and the pair must go back to eachother!!!

"Louis, I brought you some necessities. Ice cream and hot chocolate and some action movies with very little in the way of romance." He gives me a half smile and then whispers somethign in my ear.

"I really, really want to talk to him. I at least want to know why he doesn't want me and why he couldn't just break up with me instead of going through all this, y'know?" I nod a bit and turn to look at him. Seems like Liam helped him through the crying stage pretty well, so I think I need to start the next step: talking it out!

"Lou, come into your room with me. We are going to make you look as sexy as possible and then we are going to see Harry. Face to face might be hard at first, but we have to work this out, okay?" I say, standing up and offering my hand. He face goes calm and he gives me a sly smile.

"Hmmm, I know just what to do to make him regret the whole thing." He says. I grin and we sneak back into his room, without letting Zayn or Liam see. The first thing he does is take a shower while I pick through his wardrobe for the perfect clothes to accentuate his best qualities.
