The Boy Next Door l.t. (ON-HOLD)

What Do You Want Me To Do?

Louis' P.O.V

I can't do it. And believe when I say I've tried because I have.  I've watched them ogled over each other, snog near my locker, hold hands, and cuddle in my living room, and I'm done. She not even that worth it, she might be gorgeous, but if she's going to date someone else why can't I? She obviously didn't like me as much as I liked her because now she's with Harry. They've been together for a week from what the school's newspaper says and neither of them thought about telling us.

I looked over at the two boys who were hovering over either of my shoulders, reading along with me. Niall looked sort of upset, but you could tell he didn't want to show it, while Zayn looked like he just saw a puppy get run over by a monster truck. Liam, on the other hand had stopped reading as soon as he read the title: "THE DYNAMIC DUO IS BACK!!" He looked pissed, no beyond pissed. He looked like he was going to murder some one.

"I swear to god if he hurts her again, I will kill him!" He kept saying over and over again, while murmuring other colorful words. I was shocked. Shocked at the fact that the news paper said back meaning it had happened before and the fact that I was genuinely scared of Liam. He looked scary, unlike his usual gentle cheeky self.

Shit. And here I thought I had a chance.

"What do you mean: again?" I asked confused. Liam looked at my confused expression and his anger softened.

"Before Harry moved to your school, he lived here." Liam said. "Actually in your exact house. They pretty much met the same way you did, except Ally was a lot more stubborn then. It took Harry a lot longer to even become friends with Ally than it took you."

I smiled. "So what does that mean? What happened?"

"It took you a couple of days and few beers to get into her pants, while it took Harry three years and three magical words." Liam stated and looked at me knowing I would blush. "Anyways, after Ally and Harry had sex, Harry moved the next day. Ally thought she was in love, and cried for three days straight because Harry took her virginity and left." He sighed and it took me some time to understand his words.

"Ally hasn't been the same since. She hasn't had a regular relationship in two years, she flirts a lot, and gets wasted. She doesn't let anybody in as often as she used too." Niall said then squinted his eyes at me.

"What?" I asked, still letting the words soak in.

"Your different. She had no problem letting you in as soon as possible and she actual cares what you think." Niall says. "She must really like you."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, that's why she's with Harry." I say sarcastically. "Come on let's go to class."

"No, Lou. You like her too don't you." Zayn says, speaking his first words since we finished reading the newspaper.

"I did, but now I'm sort of over it. I don't like getting toyed with." I said looking at the three people who were slowly pinning me against the lockers, in the empty hall way. With no one to help me. "I don't like this jealous feeling I get. It makes me uncomfortable."

"She likes you too." Zayn said, and that snaps my attention towards him.

"And how would you know?" I asked suspiciously.

"I can see it. She looks at you like El used to." Zayn said and I cringe at his words.

"El..?"

"Who's El?" Niall asked.

"No one." I say quickly. "Can we please get to class?"

"You loved her you just never wanted to admit it." Zayn said pushing the subject. I hadn't known Eleanor long, but I did, though I would never admit it. She was never ready and I was willing to give her her space.
