eighteen: speechless
Louis was speechless. No matter how many times he opened his mouth to reply, nothing came out. Everyone had their eyes on him, they were waiting for him to say something... to say anything and Louis couldn't even think straight. Zayn was literally on his knee, holding a box with a silver band that had one little diamond inside the band, and Louis couldn't say anything.
He felt like he was going to be sick.
He thought he could pretend to be in a relationship with Zayn... but right now it felt a little too real for his liking.
"Lou... Baby, you gotta answer me," Zayn says quietly, still smiling up at Louis but the smile didn't quite reach his eyes. You could tell that Zayn was just as nervous as Louis, but Louis wasn't paying attention to that. Louis was looking anywhere but at Zayn now, his eyes falling onto the crowd of people. Liam stood at the front, a frown on his face and arms crossed over his chest. Louis bites his bottom lip, the conversation that he had with Liam just yesterday now playing through his mind... but Louis felt like had to prove a point for some reason... Maybe Liam was wrong about Zayn, maybe they both were.
"Yes... I'll marry you." Louis says and a relieved look crossed over Zayn's face. Zayn stood up and slid the small ring onto Louis' finger. Louis was surprised to find that it fit perfectly, but he didn't have much time to really dwell on that before the crowd started to cheer. Zayn kissed Louis' cheek before turning towards everyone with a bright smile on his face. Louis met eyes with Liam and the teenager's fake smile faded just a little.
------------------------
"Louis, can I talk to you for a second?" Liam asks about an hour later, walking over to Louis and Zayn's table. Louis looks up from the conversation, his smile faltering a little. Zayn had also looked up when Liam spoke, an annoyed expression covering his face when he saw Liam.
"What are you doing over here? This table is for the grownups." Zayn said, his voice making both Louis and Liam flinch. Liam glares at Zayn before turning to look at Louis again. "Please Lou... It'll only be for a few minutes..." Liam said quietly, purposely ignoring Zayn as he scoffs. Louis seems a little hesitant before nodding and standing up from the table. Liam and Louis walk out to one of the balconies, leaving the noisy party behind. Louis bites his bottom lip as he looks at Liam, waiting patiently for the older to start talking. He wasn't really sure what he was expecting Liam to say, maybe it was an apology... or maybe he'd tell Louis he'd made yet another mistake.
"I'm sorry for what I did yesterday... I shouldn't... I shouldn't have gone off on you like that, and I'm sorry. It's just... Louis, I feel like you're not thinking about what you're getting yourself in to..." Liam trails off, shaking his head a little before looking at Louis again. Louis doesn't say anything and instead waits for Liam to continue. Louis had known Liam long enough to know when the older was done talking, and Liam was nowhere close to being done.
"You of all people should know what Zayn is like... He's manipulative, he doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. You know the reason why he's doing this, yet you're playing right into his f ucking hands. He doesn't keep his promises, as soon as your little deal is up he's going to be kicking you out on the street with your kid. He doesn't care about anyone Louis, so why? Why are you doing this?" Liam whispers the last part, his voice cracking a little as he looks at Louis. Louis bites his bottom lip, once again not sure what to say... He knew the reason why he was doing this... but was it really the reason why?
"Because deep down... I think he does. I know you don't like the idea of Zayn actually being human, but Liam... There's a chance that he's got something inside of him. I know what I'm doing is f ucking crazy, but what choice do I have? I can't do this on my own... I don't want to put my kids through the same thing as me... I never knew my dad and I had to watch my mum struggle to make ends meet for the longest time... I don't want that for them... Zayn is offering me the chance to show my babies a family..." Louis says quietly, silently hoping that what he said made sense.
"He's going to break your f ucking heart Louis..." Liam says sadly, shaking his head a little as he looks at Louis. Louis nods, choking back a small sob when he starts crying. Liam was quick to pull his friend into his arms though, letting the smaller boy cry into his chest. It was only for a minute or two before Louis calmed down, pulling away from Liam's embrace as he lets out a sad chuckle.
"I know he is... but right now, it's not about me. It's about what's best for my babies, and right now that means pretending to be happily engaged to Zayn. It'll all work out in the end Liam and I'll be okay..." Louis whispers, faking a smile as Liam continues to look at him.
"Are you sure about that?" Liam asks, waiting for Louis to answer. The teenager just continued to smile, shrugging a little as he looked at Liam.
"I'm gonna have to be. It's not just about me anymore."
