Chapter Sixteen 

-Lilah-

Ugh why is my head pounding? Oh yeah I was crying part of the night. A lot of it because of Louis. Thank god I had the boys and Niall to help out yesterday. I don’t know if I could make it through without them. They’re all my rock and I love them.

I roll over hitting something hard. Someone groans next to me. I open my eyes to a shirtless Louis. He’s holding his lower area. I think I just like… I don’t even know the words to describe it.

“Oh my god! Louis are you okay?! I totally forgot you were next to me,” I mumbled rubbing his cheek for comfort.

He opens those oceans for eyes. He smiles looking into my green eyes. I smile back still rubbing his cheek for comfort.

“I'm perfect as long as you’re with me,” he replies his smile never leaving his face when he talks to me. My heart flutters when he says that. Wait hearts don’t flutter. STUPID FUCKING EMOTIONS!

I notice him leaning in for a kiss. Wait he’s trying to kiss me?! And I'm letting him?! After all he pulled on me?! No he’s not having that kind of control over me again!

I look away letting him get my cheek. He sighs and I search his face for some kind of hurt. He looks disappointed not hurt exactly.

“You don’t want to kiss me do you?” he asks a little hurt. Did I? Hell yes! Just not right this moment.

“You need to show me you’re not going to do like you did before, before you can get all this,” I say shaking my bum walking towards the door.

We both laugh a little too loud. Oh well. Live while we’re young right? I hate my thoughts in the morning; stupid and awkward.

I walk over to my bed, planting a kiss on his cheek. Soft and gentle. Sort of like our first kiss just with less meaning.

“I'm gonna make some tea. Want some?” I say looking into his oceans for eyes. He nods his head looking at me like a lost puppy.

I lean in closer whispering in his ear. “What kind?” I ask sweetly. I let out a giggle I didn’t intend to come out.

“Surprise me,” he whispers kissing me on the cheek. I nod and slowly skip out of my room like a little girl.

I guess I can give him another chance. He does deserve it. I just don’t want to get hurt again.

-Niall-

“Morning my Nialler!” Lilah shouts walking out of her room with a giant smile on her face. She’s wearing only a black tank top and booty blue sweatpants. I can’t keep my eyes off her even if I tried.

“Oh so I'm yours now?” I ask with a wink. She giggles that adorable giggle that always makes my heart flutter. She swings her arms around my shoulders wrapping her arms around me from the back. She pulls me as close to her as possible.

“Well you are my best friend,” she pulls me away giving me a light kiss on the cheek as she whispers in my ear. She just kissed me. Well it was more of a peck but it was a kiss. My Delilah kissed me.

“So that makes you mine,” she whispers kissing my jaw line lightly. She kissed me twice. She kissed me not the other way around. She made the first move. Does this mean she loves me back?

“I'm making tea for me and Lou. You want some?” I nod my head but no words leave my mouth. Does she love him too? Why would she be so touchy feely with me though? Why is she giving me signals then obviously having feelings for Lou? After all that he did to her? I was the only one there to comfort her and she goes back to him?

She hands me a New York mug with some scorching hot tea in it. I take a small sip from it trying not to burn my mouth. She needs to tell me about whatever they are or I’ll go mad with rumors.

“So are you and Lou together again?” I ask nonchalantly. She doesn’t really look at me. She blankly stares at the window.

“Lilah?” I ask quietly. She shrugs off my question. She doesn’t remove her fields of green from the window that’s ‘so fascinating.’

“I don’t know what we are. I just don’t want to get hurt again, you know? I'm not falling for his tricks anymore. Just promise me one thing?”

I look up to meet her fields. I give her a questioning look. “Whatever happens between me and Lou you’ll always be there for me? Always be my best friend?” she gives me a puppy dog eyes as she asks me this.

“Of course I will Delilah. Whether it’s raining or sunny. Blue or green. Blonde or brunette. Forever and always,” I reply giving her a comforting hug, rubbing her back. I know one thing’s true. I’ll fight for her.

-Louis-

“Here ya go boo bear. Sorry it took so long. It just wouldn’t get hot!” Lilah says walking into her bedroom that I haven’t moved from yet. You know how it’s too early and you have to get up but you don’t want to? Yeah, I have that feeling now.

“Oh that’s okay, love. I bet its good like usual,” I say taking a sip from her warm concoction. Geez does she make it on the sun or something?!

“Let me guess. Lemon tea, milk, sugar and vanilla?” She giggles and nods her head. I laugh along to be a cute couple game ours. You know, when we’re a couple.

“So sleep well last night?” she asks after a few moments of being quiet. She stares at me with these green eyes that look grey from the shirt she’s wearing. I love how her eyes change color!

“Yeah I did because I had my girl next to me,” I reply. Her cheeks become a rosy pink and she smiles so you can see her dimples a bit.

Her smile drops and her face becomes slightly paler. It was like someone told her, her cat died. “I'm not your girl,” she whispers.

What was that? It’s like that over the past two years she got diagnosed with bipolar disorder or something. Happy one minute upset or pissed the next. I hope she’s okay.

“Will you be? You know my girlfriend?” I ask with hopeful eyes. Maybe I shouldn’t have asked so soon. Maybe I should’ve waited, well it’s too late to pull back now. It’s now or never.

“I… I don’t know Lou,” she says more like a sigh than a reply. Wait what? She said no?

“Is it because I'm not good enough? For what I said yesterday? It’s because you hate me right?” I ask with hurt eyes.

“No. it’s not you. Not at all your fault. I just need some time you know? Can you give me that? Time?”

Well what am I supposed to say? No I don’t want to wait I want you mine now so no one else can take you from me? No! I'm willing to wait for her! As long as she still loves me, I'm willing to wait for her.

“Okay I’ll wait for you. If that’s what you want, I'm willing to do it.” It can’t be that hard right? Being in the friends zone with a girl you want to kiss 24/7? Shit, what did I get myself into?!

My hope was slightly up until I remembered something Niall told me a month ago. He loves her too. I know that I’ll fight for her!

**A/N** So… Erm… Basically…

Again my attempt at a dramatic and sweet chappie

Fail right?

Yea I know

*sigh*
