One week later...

        I sauntered up to my room after yet another repetitive day. It seemed as if each day dragged by slower and slower. There wasn't much I could do, I had no friends here in Doncaster, I couldn't really do anything with the heavy snow on the ground, and the freezing air outside. I've already been to the cinema three times this week and the man at the ticket booth found it quite humorous as I was alone every time. 

        I haven't seen Louis in a week, and I missed him, really bad. Just thinking of him made my chest pain and my eyes swell up with tears. Louis was not only my best friend, but my crush- no, more than crush. Ever since that kiss, he hasn't left my mine, or heart, and I started regretting telling him to forget about it. I only told him too, because I wanted to; I wanted to forget it ever happened, because when I remembered our kiss, the next thing that would enter my mind was Eleanor sucking his face right after. 

        With the mention of Eleanor, Harry has called and said Louis and Eleanor where going through some type of 'rough patch'. He said that they fight a lot, and it mostly revolves around me. Harry recalled that it all started when Eleanor slept over at their flat one night, and in the morning Louis cuddled her closely and whispered, "good morning Katie,". I guess Eleanor went absolutely ballistic and was curious to why he was calling her my name early in the morning.  I was completely surprised, and I'm not going to lie, I was a 'little' happy. Even though I wanted Louis to be happy, and I would do anything to make him happy, I wanted to be happy too, and that wasn't possible if Louis and Eleanor where together. 

       I roll on my bed trying to sleep, yet again it seems impossible. Many nights I laid awake, thinking Louis should be inthis bed, falling asleep with me. After what seems like hours my eyes slowly close and I drift off into a much needed sleep.

                                                                                                                                        -

I awake to a loud pounding noise downstairs. Morning already? I peek my eyes open and see that it's still dark outside. I let my eyes focus on  the clock, 1:12 a.m. I groaned before realizing someone was knocking on the front door. I slowly got out of bed and made my way to the stairs. I figured it was my mother coming home from Charlie's house. I neared the door and opened it,

        "Forget your key again-- Louis?" There stands Louis, his hair is messy, as if his hands ran through it a thousand times, he looked frustrated,  and in the dim porch light I could see the bags that hung beneath his beautiful eyes. I yawned, "Lou... what are you doing here at 1 in the morning?" I try rubbing the sleep out of my eyes as he faces me,        

        "Eleanor and I got in a huge fight... we broke up." He stammered. I reach up and pull him into a tight hug without any hesitation, as if nothing has changed between us,

        "Oh Lou, I'm sorry. It's probably just temporary, and you guys will make up-" I try, noticing that I cared a lot more about Louis' happiness than mine.

        "That's not the problem," He states, cutting me off. I pull out of the hug, a confused expression written across my face,

        "What? Lou why don't you come inside?" I ask; he still stands still on the front porch,

        "No, Listen Katie.." He starts. a thick wind blows through out the house from outside and I seek warmth, though I just stand there, and listen. "When Eleanor and I broke it off, I felt almost.... relieved." 

        "Relieved?" I question. He nods,

        "I got in my car and started driving, not even paying attention to where I was going; just trying to understand why I wasn't heart broken or sobbing." I scrunch my nose and crinkle my eyebrows, not knowing where he was going with this. "I just drove and drove, I've been driving for almost three hours. When I stopped the car I laid back, almost trying; forcing myself to cry... that's when I noticed, I was here, at your house." He looked me in the eyes, "I then knew why I wasn't sad... I mean, everywhere I wen't I was always thinking of you, even when with Eleanor you where always in my mind. That's why I wasn't sad, or crying my eyes out; but relieved." He stated. Nothing Louis was saying made any sense to me,

        "Wait.. What are you saying Louis?" I asked, completely dumb-founded. Louis rolled his eyes,

        "What I'm saying is.." He fumbled around with words, but seemed like he didn't know what to say. Instead, he grabbed my waist and pressed his lips to mine, grabbing the door and pushing me against the wall,

        This kiss.. this one took my complete breath away. My body warmed right away, and I felt all the same sparks, shivers, goosebumps, as the first kiss, but better. We had no interruptions, and my heart ached for this moment. I tangled my hands in his hair loving the energy I get when his lips are on mine. 

        He pulled away and looked into my eyes,

        "That's what I mean." He whispers, kissing my lips once more. I pull away this time, and walk over to shut the front door. Louis gives me a confused look and I just smile,

        "Would you lay with me in bed, just until I fall asleep... If you don't mind." I mutter. He grins,

        "I'd love to." We trot up the stairs, hand in hand, and he lays next to me, under the covers, and this time I wasn't hesitant to cuddle in his strong, warm, arms and kiss him good-night. 

       "I've wanted this for so long," Louis whispers. I smile,

        "Me too. It took you long enough." I state, I can hear Louis chuckle,

        "You know what Harry told me, right before Eleanor and I broke up?" He questions. I shake my head,

        "What?" He plays with my hair, letting it run through his fingers, and I shiver at his touch,

        "Well, Eleanor and I have been having a lot of trouble for the past week... and Harry told me, 'Don't choose the better girl... choose the girl that will make you a better man." I grin,

        "I didn't know Harry could be so... deep." I whisper, mentally thanking Harry. Louis chuckles once again,

        "Me either, but I'm happy he did, because I'm here with you, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

        With the excitement running through me, it's hard to fall asleep, but with Louis' calm breath reaching my neck, I snuggle closer to him and fall asleep in no time.
