LOUIS' POV

"So, you like him dontchu?" I ask Laney as we walk along the beach.

"You can tell?" She asked, blushing.

"Yeah, no shit I can tell. He likes you too Lanes, promise."

"No, he just wants things to be ok again, nothing else." She tells me.

"Laney, he's my best mate. I know the kid, he likes you." I tell her, facing her.

"Ok Lou, but I just don't want anything to happen again. We could never work. Ever." She tells me. Bull shit.

"Bull. Shit." I say out loud.

"No its not, I just, I don't know." She tells me.

"Laney, even if he wants everything to just be ok again, ok with you two, would not just be friends, or just on talking basis. 'Ok' would be you two together again." I tell her, kicking sand as we go.

"Louis..."

"Laney. Im right, you know I'm right." I say while nudging her.

She responds by just saying, "whatever."

"Ok, lets head back. Niall's probably worried that we've gone and hooked up or something." I tell her turning around, towards the house.

LANEYS POV

Lou and I get back to the house and all 4 boys are still there doing whatever they do; Liam's laying on the couch on the laptop, Harrys watching TV with Niall and Zayns on his phone.

"Hey Ni, can I talk to you for a bit?" I hear Louis say. Niall turns his head and nods in his direction as I whip my head to Louis direction. He gives me a glance, sighing than starts heading upstairs with my ex boyfriend.

"Tell us, now" I hear Harry say. I turn around from looking up the stairs and trace my eyes to the three other boys, who have suddenly stopped everything I saw they were doing less than a minute ago. They now are all sat in one line on the couch, arms crossed, TV off.

"Excuse me?"

"Laney, tell us, now" Zayn said.

"Tell you guys what? Im so confused." I say.

"Fine than if you're not going to tell us, than answer one simple question for us." Liam says sitting up.

"What? Wait answer what question I don't ev-"

"Do you, or don't you still have feelings for him?" Harry asks. Jesus, its like they rehearsed.

"What who ar-"

"It's a yes or no question Laney, and we know you know what we're talking about. You can tell us." Zayn said, interrupting me.

"Honestly guys?" I say, cautiously.

"Honestly Lanes" Liam states.

"No" I say as I walk away.

I turn the corner or the hallway and almost fall face first on the floor because I tripped over something. Or should I say, someone.

I find the Irish lad sat down head in hands, look up to me with water lining his eyes.

Than there's my conclusion,

I just said I don't have feelings for him.

He just heard it all.

If he still likes me, I can't dare ever like him.
