You Left Me (Louis Tomlinson FanFiction) EDITING IN PROGRESS

Chapter 10

*Megs' POV*

I couldn't believe my ears. What did he just say? I know him really well? Ha. As if. What happened to his perfect girlfriend? Wait. I am way over-thinking. He just told me that 'no one knows him as well as me', not 'I love you very much Megs'. Does it mean the same thing? I don't know... Ugh!

As I tried to snap out of my thoughts, I see Louis looking at me expectantly, probably waiting for my reaction. What the fudge do I do?! Ok... he has a girlfriend so he probably only wants me as a friend. Alright.

I smile warmly at his words and try not to let curiosity and excitement show in my face. Just play it cool Megs... play it cool, I repeat in my head.

*Louis' POV*

She just... smile? I didn't know how to make my first move so I just had to say one thing that she will probably catch up on which is 'no one knows me as well as you' line. But all she did was smile? We need to clear some things out…that I want her with me more than ever, more than anything and anyone.

I try my best to return her smile and just let the moment pass. She wouldn't want me to be more than a friend to her anyway... after I hurt her so much.

"Let me ask you the same question back… How's everything been for you?" I say trying to make conversation.

"Hmm… How would you want me to answer that?" she says mockingly.

"I would want honesty thanks!" I say back equally mockingly… even if it hurts, I add in my head.

"Alright," she starts and seems to take a deep breath, "where do I even start?"

"From…umm…since…I…umm…left you?" I compromise, even though it hurts so much to say it out loud.

She raises her eyebrows at what I said but nodded.

"Ok…I remember on that day…I was at school and you were away so I was by myself for the first time because when you are away, I would try to stay off school too," she laughed a little, "but that day…it was weird…I came over to your house like every other morning but no one answered the doorbell… and I felt like something was pushing me… some weird force or something to go to school and leave your house but I kept ringing your doorbell over and over…" she stopped to take a breath, "but there were still no answer, no sound and no sign at all! There was nothing."

"So I guess I followed along with the weird force that was pushing me to go to school… I sat by myself in class and stared out the window with the raindrops falling down every second throughout the lesson… I couldn't even look at the empty seat next to me because all those worries about you would keep coming back and it was only one day without you," she barely whispered the last part. The guilt keeps hitting me again and again as I listen to her.

"I tried to get through all the lessons but by lunch time, I was exhausted with worries of you. I wanted to get out of the school gates and look for you… I was just staring out into the space, just worried sick and out of no where, I saw this familiar office lady running towards me. I felt hopeful because I was thinking that it was something about you… I was still worried thinking you're hurt or something," she said and I smiled compassionately at that... she worries about me that much? She probably saw my smile as a smug because she continued quickly, "I know I am like so paranoid... just because you were away for a day… but anyway… that lady took me into the school office and told me to be calm. My head was literally buzzing with questions! She just... she looked into my eyes and said, "Honey... your parents were in a car accident... and now they're unconscious" and I was in shock. I didn't expect that. At all. I thought maybe this was about you Lou… but my parents?" she scoffed, tears streaming down her beautiful face.

"And the rest of the day went in a blur for me... that same lady taking me to the hospital to see my parents then seeing my parents with bruises and cuts all over their body… I just couldn't bear it. I can still remember the exact words that one of the doctors said to me on that exact night at the hospital… She said… "Megan… your parents have finished fighting their battle and I am really sorry to say that they lost." I couldn't take it anymore and I tried to call you Lou... but there were still no answer from you... it was just one hell of a day Lou... and I was only 15…15!" she finished talking about that shocking day and her eyes burned into mine. I feel guilty more than ever that I never contacted her all these years... I mean I have tried to but always failed... I couldn't face her for what I did. She broke my thoughts suddenly, her tiny hands filling up my empty ones. Her tender touch makes me feel giddy inside.

"I used to blame you Lou…for what happened…" she breathed in deeply.

"Yes Megs!! Please blame me... I don't deserve your forgi-" but she cut me off my putting her fingers on my lips.

"I said I used to blame you… but now I don't…I finally understand your situation where your father forced you to go with him… I am sorry for having blamed you Lou…"

"For god damn sake Megs! Seriously, STOP saying sorry!"

"Alright, alright," she laughs softly and it makes my heart go warm.

"So… since you know what I do nowadays, tell me about what you do!" I say chirpily trying to improve the vibe around us.

"Well... you know how we used to want to study together at Queen Mary Uni?" she asked and I nodded.

"I am studying Medicine there now!! It's my third year there!!!" she said excitedly like she just won lottery or something, of course it is still Megs and I couldn't help but smile at my thoughts.

"Wow Megs! That's amazing! You always wanted to help and save people! Is it hard?"

"Well.. yeah it's challenging but I really enjoy it," she says, happiness flashing through her beautiful features.

"Haha, that's good Little Miss Smartie Megs!" I say jokingly.

"At least it's better than Mr Poppystar!" she mocks me back giggling.

By then, we are in front of Star Bucks laughing our heads off. I push the entry door open then hears a loud high-pitched voice screaming, "OH MY GOSH!!!! IT'S LOUIS TOMLINSON!!!!!"
