Louis' PoV *surprise!*

I don't know why I ran. I just couldn't help it. The boys had known exactly why i didn't want to do that dare, so the forced me to do it anyways.

The day after i first saw Ali that day, Harry and i had gone back to my house to hang out. I had told him everything. How me and her were best friends, the i'd become too involved in other things and she drifted away, how i realized now that... I loved her.

When i ran from the closet, i immediately went in my room, slamming the door, flinging myself on the bed.

I punched my pillow in anger. Why was i so scared and unnerved by my feelings for Alice ? It didn't help that my bed smelt of her soft, calming perfume. I heard a gentle knock on the door, and Eleanor's quiet voice asking to let her in.

When i opened the door, and pulled her inside, i already felt the tears going down my cheeks.

"Lou, why'd you run?" Her voice showed her confusion, and i refused to meet her eyes.

As i kept glancing down at my folded hands, i felt her tiny arm snake around my waist as she lay her head on my shoulder. I couldnt do it. I couldnt tell my girlfriend i had run because i found out i was in love with another girl.

A slender finger raised my chin, so I could look into those eyes I'd grown to know like the back of my hand.

"Louis, just tell me," she smiled sadly. Eleanor was such a beautiful person, so kind and caring, she was the most vulnerable person in the world, because she was so open. That's why I couldn't tell her, I couldn't be responsible for breaking such a beautiful girl. But it would hurt her more if I sat here and lied straight to her face, and she found out by another source.

"Eleanor, I ran because, I think- i think I lo--" she out a finger to my lips and smiled that sad smile again.

"You love her. I can see it in your eyes Lou, as much as I wished you could, you've never looked at me like that. Sure, it hurts, because I love you Louis. More than you'll ver know, but you don't come across a love like this everyday, you have to go for it. Louis, you have to go for Ali. She's such a kind girl, and I know, if I left you, it would be in the best hands possible." I watched her with sad eyes.

"So this is the end.. Of, us?" She nodded slowly.

"But Louis, I will always love you, no matter what happens, but I can't be responsible for holding you back from something like this, it would do serious damage to my conscience." I looked deep in her eyes, I could see the love, the passion she had; I also saw the sincerity of her words, the truth that rang through her gaze.

I lifted a hand , brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear, using my thumb to stroke her cheek. I placed my lips on hers, gently.

That one kiss, I put all my feelings from the last two years of the best relationship I've ever had, the love I felt, the tearful pride I had in saying she was mine, all of it was put in that kiss. Our tears mixed together as I poured my whole being into the kiss that I knew would be the last i'd ever give to the most inspirational, touching, heartfelt person I've ever had the privilege to have in my life.

"Louis, I really believe you belong with Alice. I've never believed in soul-mates, but your changing my mind," she hugged me, then stood, wiping her cheeks.

I chuckled at her comment and stood as well. I was willing to take her advice and go after Alice. I still felt terrible about leaving Eleanor, but I knew she'd be able to handle herself with ease.

I straightened my clothes and walked to the door. I held it open for El, and followed her out, shutting the door, and walking to the staircase.

I felt a smile creep across my face as I walked down the stairs, bound and determined to finally get the girl.

But as I turned into the living room, I froze in the doorway, and I could hear the snapping and splintering of my heart breaking.

Alice was sat next to Liam, as they leaned toward each other, I watched as the kissed each other in a loving way, and then pulled away. They whispered back and forth, smiling at each other. Then I heard Liam ask Alice a questions.

"So will you be my girlfriend?" Alice nodded eagerly, and I couldn't help but let the strangled sound leave my throat, I turned and flung the door open, running into the cool air, tears streaming down my face.

Liam hadn't known, so it wasn't his fault, but I couldn't help but want to blame him for taking MY Alice from me.

I ran to the only place I could think to go. To the one place where I always felt that nothing had happened. When I went there, I always expected to go home and see Alice sitting on my doorstep, bouncing a football up and down from leg to leg.

It was a park, It had swing sets, a merry go round, and a pond. We used to go there everyday after school, it was our special place. I ran to the familiar oak tree, slumping down under the green leaves.

"Why now?" I put my head in my hands.

A few moments later I heard footsteps and then a voice I'd missed all these years.

"Louis, are you okay?" I looked up between my fingers, tears were carelessly falling down my face but I looked Alice in the eyes regardless.

She sat beside me, and set a thin jacket around my shoulders, and a caring hand on my knee.

Without thinking I did what I'd always wanted to do, I acted on impulse.

And I kissed her.
