You Left Me (Louis Tomlinson FanFiction) EDITING IN PROGRESS

Chapter 12

A/N - To be honest, I don't think anyone's reading this anyway... but please do enjoy reading if you are :) xo

*Louis' POV*

Did she just seriously ask me if I love someone who the management is making me date? Does she still have feelings for me? Eleanor is someone who I have to act 'lovey dovey' around but that doesn’t mean I love her. She is a really great friend and she doesn’t want this as much as me because she has someone she loves too… and I know that I can't hurt Megs again so I went with the truth.

"Megs…" I started, not knowing how to start this conversation.

Her eyes flashed hurt and she looked down. What?

"Don’t Lou… Don’t… " she whispered.

"Don’t what?" I say really confused.

"Don’t hurt me again… please…" she say. What? I still don’t get where she is going at. I haven't even said anything except her name.

"I can see it Lou, you love her, your face is fully red and your eyes are shining like crazy now."

"No! Megs! Let me explain!" I say quickly. She looks up with her eyes glistening with tears and her lips trembling. I nearly forgot how sensitive she is until this moment.

"I. DO. NOT. LOVE. ELEANOR." I say slowly but boldly, word by word. Her features soften and she looks at me sheepishly.

"You… don’t?"

"I mean, she is a great friend of mine but she has feelings for someone else and so do I."

Oh shit.

What did I just say?!

She does not need me, or more hurt in her life. She looks surprised by what I said, meeting my nervous eyes.

*Megs' POV*

He likes… someone else? He probably likes some famous girls; girls who can sing or dance or model or whatever. I am just a medical nerd. Hah, why would he like you Megs? Because you were his first love, my subconscious reminds me. But he probably thought it was a one-off teenage thing. Nothing serious, the negative side of me says. But it meant a lot to me, more than anything.

"Sir, Miss, your hot chocolates are ready," the girl at the counter says impatiently like she has repeated it a lot of times. Lou and I stop looking at each other and looks at the girl. She must not be a fan because she just looks bored and impatient, not screaming like the other girl was.

"I've repeated like 5 times… hello love birds?" she says edgily. I smile apologetically at her and started to say, "Oh no, we're not dati-" when Lou interrupts me.

"We are sorry love, aren't we Megs?" he says with his arms snaking around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"Oh, yeah we are sorry," I mumbled quickly, startled by his actions. He grabbed one of the hot chocolates that had more marshmallows and handed it to me, his arms still around my waist.
