your eyes followed as you saw him walk right past you, not even sparing a glance.
you both had been best friends once. you were inseparable, as most would say. the friendship had broke off when you both reached 9th grade. he suddenly ghosted you and had found a new group of friends, and so did you.
even though you hated him, you still missed the fun times you had together. it was fun while it lasted.

you groaned while walking outside, staring at the heavy rain. you didnt bring an umbrella, so all you had was your hoodie. you put on your hood and walked through the rain, dreading every second of it.
unbeknownst to you, a car pulled up to where you were walking, following your pace.
the person rolled down the window, " hey, you need a ride? "
you recognized that voice. your head shot in his direction as he gave a small smile. you glared at him, " im fine. " you walked faster.
" really? doesnt look like it, " he said as he continued to follow you.
you sighed and turned your head to face him. you didnt want to walk in the rain much longer, so you got in the passengers seat next to him.
the ride was awkward and quiet. none of you said anything, until you got to your house.
" thanks, " you mumbled as you got your bag and left the car.
" welcome, " he called after you.

you entered the cafe, the smell of coffee beans immediately welcoming you. you went to the cashier and ordered your drink, then sat down at a table.
louis looked at you from afar. his heart leapt at the sight of you, and gathered up the courage to walk to your table.
" if i didnt know better id say you were stalking me, " he smirked, mentally facepalming.
you looked up at him, " well i guess its good you do know better. "
" a f/d (favorite drink) for y/n ? " the barista called out.
you walked over to the counter and picked up your drink, walking out the door. louis followed after you and swooped next to you.
" a f/d huh? i guess some things never change."
" and i guess some things do, " you shot back at him.
he knew exactly what you were implying to, and he felt awful.
" listen, we should really talk about this, " he said in pity.
" theres nothing to say, " you said.
" y/n/n (your nickname) , " he said in a serious tone, causing you to stop walking and face him. you missed him calling you that.
he sighed and shuffled his feet, " ive missed you. "
" ive missed you too, " you said. he smiled a little, " but i cant forgive you so easily. " he frowned and and exhaled shakily.
" louis, what happened to us? we used to be best friends." you said sadly.
his heart broke at the sound of your tone. he didnt quite know why he had suddenly ghosted you either. but looking at you now, he wish he hadnt.
" trust me y/n/n please. i wish i knew the answer to that question, " he shook his head, "ive fucked up, i know. but ill do anything to make it up to you. give me a chance, please. "
you looked at him and saw the pleading in his eyes. it felt genuine.
you nodded slowly, " fine. "

it took a while for things to get back to normal. you were still skeptical about him, but you were happy to have him back.
after hearing you give him a second chance, he made sure to make the most of it. you guys had relived your old memories when you were younger. he seemed to remember everything about you.
and you were happy to call him your best friend again.
