“I can’t believe Louis Tomlinson cried over you.” Matilda muttered, shaking her head. I had just explained everything that had happened and she was in shock.
“Me neither.” I agreed.
“The band is going to get a lot of hate after this…” Matilda sighed sadly. A car honked behind us and Matilda cursed.
“I know I feel guilty.” I replied. The car honked again.
“Don’t. I think that was an adequate way of apologizing.” She defended me. The car honked impatiently.
“Damn speeders.” She growled under her breath, pulling the car over so they could go past. Instead the car pulled over behind her.
“Hope it’s not a copper.” I teased. She rolled her eyes and I checked my phone while we were waiting.
Unknown: It’s Louis. I saw you leave. Pull over.
Unknown: Are you just ignoring me?
Unknown: Good, you’re pulling over. I tensed nervously as a figure came up to Matilda’s open window.
“Can I help you?” she asked, irritation lining her words.
“I would like to speak to Sophi.” The person stated.
“Oh no, you don’t get to talk to her.” She snapped.
“Shouldn’t that be up to her?” he shot back. Matilda turned to me questioningly. I opened the door and slid out of the blue 2010 Mazda3. Louis stared at me from across the car.
“Can we go somewhere and talk?” He asked sadly. I nodded solemnly.
“Matilda, I’ll be back later.” I informed her.
“Be safe.” She warned before I shut the door and she left. Maybe a part of me wanted to scream and tell her to come back but the compassionate part of me saw that Louis deserved a chance.
“You must be cold.” He said, gesturing to my outfit.
“I have a jacket on.”
“Is it warm though?”
“Warm enough.”
“I don’t remember you being this stubborn.” He commented as we walked back to his car.
“You didn’t actually know me.” I said with a pointed look at him.
“I plan on changing that.” He informed me. I smiled gently at him and his eyes lit up momentarily.
“Lads, meet Sophi.” Louis said opening the door. Staring at me from the plush seats were the other band members of One Direction.
“Hi,” I said wiggling my fingers as I slid in after Louis.
“You’re the one that Louis bullied?!” Harry cried
“Harry! Don’t be daft!” Liam scolded.
“You aren’t the slightest bit overweight, if you don’t mind my saying.” Zayn observed.
“I lost weight after secondary school.” I explained.
“How’d you end up in America?” Niall asked
“Well I left school for what would have been my senior year. I moved to America and finished here.” I informed them.
“Are you in University?” Liam asked.
“Yeah, it’s my second year.” I said
“That would make you how old?” Zayn asked.
