Dying Love

Chapter 4

Louis and I both closed shop as usual, April had texted us to meet at the local arcade Game 'N' Drop.As we walked it I noticed a Pac man machine and raced Louis over, laughing my way there."No fair man, you cheated!"I snorted, "Oh really?Well then let's see who'll win at this!"I inserted a coin and started up the game, choosing the 2 player option."Can I have played 1?" I nodded in agreement, it was fair after all. I watched as he carefully stepped infront of the machine and raced to collect all the points."Beat that!"I shook my head at Louis, smirking.I reached for the joy stick and moved my yellow man strategically and carefully aimed to grab a cherry and points.I felt a light tap on my shoulder, being focused and all i brushed it off as it being Louis."What?Scared im winning?" Louis giggled as April moved her head infront of the screen, causing me to lose."Hey no fair!"Louis's eyes beamed with excitement."I won, I knew I would!In your face Cam!"I shook my head, I'll accept defeat this time.

"Why'd you want to hang out, April?" I asked as we all sat down at a table."May I take your order or are you choosing still?" "I'll have a coke."I mumbled still focused on my question."Sweet tea please?" Louis answered, flashing a small smile.April just ordered a water while staring at the table."April?".April looked at me, her eyes seemed lost, and upset."I have to go away, just for a bit I hope, my moms sick and I don't want her to be alone at the moment."Louis stared at her, grabbing her hand gently, leaving a small kiss on it."Hey it's okay, we don't mind, we can still call and talk, you won't miss a second of what's happening here."April smiled briefly, I chuckled, Louis just has that effect, he always seems to brighten someone or something up.

The waitress came back handing us our drinks, I took a small sip of mine, my throat had felt quite dry after talking my head off all day at costumers.Thats when I noticed the waitress, sure her voice felt similar but that wasn't it.She was my ex girlfriend, I choked on my drink, coughing some up as Louis laughed.Audrey smiled, "Can I get you anything to eat?"."Just a pizza please, you know how we like it."I mumbled still trying to recover from the burn in my throat.Since when did she work here?Louis smiled at me, "So is this why you wanted to come here?" I shook my head, it's not that I hated her, why in fact we broke up on good terms!He looked at April who was smirking and lifting her brows.Golly do these two ever leave me alone.

We ate our food and chatted a bit, occasionally I'd look out to see who came in, spotting the average of children or highschool dates, sometimes even old guys.Wr finished up, I left a 20 buck tip and left with the others, my arms around both of their necks, sure we looked stupid but we all made sure it was one hell of a night to remember.Specially for April.
