It's Saturday morning, and I'm spending it at Evelynn's house. We have gotten quite close, these past few weeks. I guess we have to because she's dating my brother. I'm pretty sure she's still convinced that I like Sam, when I'm not even into him!

"So you guys hear about the party tonight?" Isaac asks, as Ev is sitting on his lap.
"No? Who's party is it?" louis asks.
"Bella Martin's, 123 stokes lane, just a few roads away." Isaac replies.
"Do you wanna go babe? I don't mind, I could use a drink or two." Evelynn looks at him.
"I'll go if Venus goes" He shrugs. I stare at him and he glances back at Ev, then to me again.
"Oh- oh- y-yeah sure! I'll go if louis goes." I smirk and stare at him. He looks at me, surprised, as the spoon with cereal on it stops halfway in the air, and he just stares at me.
"yeah! no! I mean yeah! sure I'll go... only if Sam goes." He smiles as Sam nods.
"Well then it's settled. We'll all meet there, at 9:30?" Ev asks ask me and louis get up. "Wait where are you guys going?" Ev asks us and we stop.
"Oh. Just for a walk, since it's a nice day outside, come on lou." I smile and we walk out of the door. Uh oh. Maybe that was a mistake. I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea-

Well this is awkward.. They just left me, Isaac and Sam together. Isaac notices the silence and breaks it.
"Soo.. Sam? How you been?" He looks at Sam whose sitting on the Island.
"Oh. Fine. You?" He asks back.
"Pretty good, and you know what makes me feel even better?" I glance at him as he up at me, and we share a kiss. I take a quick glance to look at Sam, feeling bad because he might feel lonely.
"Hey Sam? We're going shopping later.. wanna come?" I ask him, hoping he'll say yes.
"What? No, it's fine." He says looking down. "In fact, yeah, I'm busy. I'm gonna go. You guys have fun." I catch him roll his eyes, as he walks out the door. I feel bad and bite my lip. Maybe I should try and fix things. Maybe I've been ignoring him a little too long.. I'm just waiting for an apology to be honest.. but now I feel horrible. He must be so alone and the fact that he has to see us together, probably makes it worse.

Louis' pov:
We made the plan to go on a walk, yesterday. I suggested it, but now I'm not too sure if it's such a good idea... I'm not exactly sure what to talk about. I get all tongue-tied and my mind goes blank; I'm guessing it's because she's extremely pretty, and I'm not as comfortable, when I'm around her. "Do you wanna grab a coffee, or something??" I ask, trying to make any conversation. She looks up at me and says, "Uh, yeah, sure, there's this really great place, that sells these amazing blueberry muffins". "Okay, um, I'm not sure I know what place you're talking about" I say, with nervous laughter. She smiles and says, "yeah, I know, you always get coffee, from that place that makes it too weak, and milky". I laugh and I say, in astonishment, "excuse me missy, I have great taste in coffee. You need to get your taste-buds checked!" She replies with, "Okay, here are the reasons why I'm right and your wrong-". She starts to count all the reasons on her fingers, but then I spot a dent in the pavement, and she was about to step in it. As an instinct, I grab her by her upper-waist, and pull her aside. She lets out a little yelp, as I push her to my side. We stop walking. "What was that for?!" she asks, with confusion written all over her face. "There was a dent in the pavement, and you were about 0.5 seconds away, from hurting yourself." She breaks out into a little laugh as she looks down and looks back up and says, "Your so dramatic! You pulled me away as if I was going to fall into a sink-hole!". I laugh and explain, "I'm sorry, it's just an instinct to save the people I care about". I realise what I say, and my eyes widen a little, but it's too late. She giggles a little and says, "well thank you, my hero". After that, there was no awkward tension. We just talked about anything, and everything.

We made it to the coffee-house, and we ordered and sat outside. It was really sunny, and we tried to get a seat, with shade. I pull out her chair and say, "Please, sit m'lady". She laughs and says, "Thank you, kind sir." I let out a chuckle, and sit down on my chair. "So, I guess we're going to that party, heh" I say as I scratch the back of my head. "Yeah, I don't really like going to house-parties. Too many people. To much socialising involved. But Sam said something about how it's Bella Martin's party, and we have to go, because you guys know her, very well." I nod and say, "Yeah, I've known her, since Year 1". She looks down and gives an off smile. I realise that i might have made a dumb move, mentioning another girl, so I go on to explain, "I don't like parties either, my social anxiety doesn't let me, so maybe, when it gets too much, we could go home or something". I see her face light up and she giggles and says, "I'd love that, usually I have to wait for Isaac, to give me a ride home, so it will be nice to not leave a party at 1am".
