Chapter 6 | Can I Call You Tonight?

Hii so I know I haven't updated in a while and I'm so sorry. I'm still just as passionate about writing this fic and the future of it. For the chapter you'll be needing the song "Can I Call You Tonight?" by Dayglow. When you see "***" You can start playing it, you know the drill. Also this is gonna be in Louis' point of view. I'm super excited for this one so please enjoy!

"He taught me how to skate" I said while pacing back and forth in front of Zayn. I went over to Zayns on Tuesday after school. I really needed to talk to my friends about what happened. Not that what happened was bad because it wasn't, it was a very good day but I just needed to... vent to someone. Someone that I knew would listen.

"So you let him teach you but not me?" Zayn said jokingly.

"Not the point Z. He- He held my hand and he was so cute. I insisted that he should show me a trick so when he did he fell. I felt bad so I fixed him up with bandaids and stuff. Then we ate pizza and talked for a while until we realized that we've been with each other for a while and that I should go home."

"What did you guys talk about-"

"Did I mention that we held hands? Fuck am I overreacting?" still pacing back and forth, hand running through my hair.

"Well I don't know. I mean do you feel like it meant anything?". I could tell that he actually cared. I'm so glad that Zayn was someone that actually listened to me. That actually cared about my feelings.

"I'm not sure. I remember his eyes,". They're this emerald color that reminded me of this grass field that me and my sister used to play on. It was full of dandelions and butterflies. "And his hair was fluffy and his curls fell perfectly under his ears and across his forehead".

"Well, sure I'm not the only one that could tell that you're head over heels for him. What did you guys end up talking about after you finished skateboarding?" he said while reaching for a bag of chips.

"Just music and... I don't know just stupid stuff I guess".

"Lou, I love you and you know that right but, you gotta learn how to make better small talk. Talk about things that actually matter like, I don't know the art project that you guys were literally partnered with to do. I don't know just a thought" he said trying to act like a smart ass.

"Wow Z thanks for the advice, you know I would've never thought of that." I said in sarcasm while giggling a bit. "No but in all seriousness, I don't even know what we're gonna do for the project. There's a long time until it's due, we have to get to know each other more before we even start to think about it, and the only thing we have similar currently is the fact that we both love the Neighbourhood so I don't know what things you want us to talk about but if you have any real advice that'd be great".

"You know who's super good at advice?" he said with a grin on his face.

"No but I would really like to know who because I am literally desperate".

"Gigi and Bella," Zayn said.

"Seriously?" I said sitting down on the bed next to him, grabbing a chip out of the bag.

"Yeah. Bella said she learned a lot from her relationship with Ni. And me and Gigi are dating so she must be doing something right. She was there for Bella a lot when she and Ni broke up. I mean I was kinda suspecting it. They're great friends though".

"Damn I've almost forgotten that they were a thing. I remember how much of a mess Niall was. Poor thing. To be honest it hurt a bit seeing him like he was. But some things just don't work. You know? At least he had us though".

"Yeah. You could ask Gigi at lunch tomorrow because she's at volleyball practice right now. Umm, you hungry? Like for something besides chips?" he said while pulling the bag away from the both of us.
