‘Nora, I’m sorry! It isn’t what it looks li-‘
‘NO! Forget it, I shouldn’t have let you in Louis. I should have listened to what everyone said about you!’
‘Nora, please! Listen to me! She kissed me, I was trying to get to you and she pounced on me as soon as you came into the room! You have got to believe me Nor-‘
‘I did believe you, but not anymore’
Tears fell from my eyes as I turned and left the boy I once loved, I once would have died for, I once
sacrificed my whole life for. No more.
It’s been 2 years since I walked out on Louis Tomlinson. Everyday my mind replays what had happened that night over and over again, at night it’s all I dream about. In the morning, I wake up to a sopping wet pillow because I’ve cried all night in my sleep. I once believed that man was the one for me, my soul mate. Ever since I walked out on him, I’ve felt like I’m missing a puzzle piece.
I’ve dated a few men since Louis and I’s break-up, but it has never felt the same. I feel like no one can truly replace what we had and I desperately need someone to do that.
‘Erm… excuse me? I’ve been waiting in queue for the past 3 minutes while you’ve been staring into space miss, can you please just take my order already?!’ a middle aged business man spoke.. he didn’t seem very impressed by my non-professionalism. ‘Oh, I do apologize sir, what can I get for you?’ I walked to the counter giving the man a sincere smile, he returned the gesture ‘I’d like a Caramel Latte, grande.’ I nodded and made up his coffee whilst Caroline took over taking orders from the customers.
21 Caramel Lattes, 13 Cappuccinos, 7 Frappuccinos and 26 Hot Cocoas later, I only have 15 minutes till my shift is over! I can’t wait to meet up with my old friends Danielle and Perrie. The boys are in town for their headlining tour. I’m quite proud of them for making it this far in life and being quite successful at their age… Even if I hate Louis, I can’t help but feel proud of him for making it.
‘Hello love, may I grab a Hot Cocoa, Venti.’ A familiar voice rang through my ears, the voice I spent 3 years waking up to in the mornings, one that used to tell me how much they loved me and that they’d never let me go as long as they lived. Louis Tomlinson. I felt fresh warm tears threaten to fall from my eyes as I remembered all the memories I shared with the man I fell deeply in love with. ‘Coming right up!’ Caroline chirped ‘Cora, Venti Hot Cocoa.’ Caroline turned to me and handed me a Venti sized cup. ‘Wait, Cora?! My Cora?!’ Louis practically screamed turning to my direction. I looked up into those sea blue eyes that used to leave me breathless for many years fight back the urge to break down into tears, ‘I’m not ‘’Your Cora’’ Louis.’ My voice cracked and looked away trying to redeem my composure. ‘Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be performing in an hour?’ I spoke coldly while making up his hot beverage. ‘Nora, I know you hate me from what happened between us 2 years ago, and believe me I would go back in time and change it all if I could. That night, you never listened to me, you just assumed the worst and didn’t even stay to hear what I had to say.’ He paused waiting for me to give him a sign that I was listening. May as well listen now. He’s here standing right in front of me. I nod for him to continue ‘Nora, I haven’t stopped thinking about you. I will never forget your face when you seen Taylor kiss me. My heart breaks each time I see that mental image.’ I shudder, remembering the whole thing. ‘Nora, I love you and I haven’t stopped loving you. I’ve been dying to tell you for years. You never respond to my messages, tweets, emails or phone calls. All I ever wanted was for you to kno-‘ I cut him off before he could continue ‘Here’s your Venti Hot Cocoa, Louis. Have a good show tonight.’ I smiled coldly, Louis looked as if he was about to burst into tears.. I couldn’t stand to see him cry so I left to get my stuff from the back room so I could leave to meet Perrie and Danielle.
