Sober Thoughts

[3]

"Liam, you said you'd help me."

Louis was in Liam's living room. Louis' came here with the promise that Liam would help him with his homework. It seemed Liam had other plans.

"I will. Can't we eat first? I made you your favorite." Liam was trying to please Louis. A couple of days ago they got into an argument and this was his apology dinner. Of course, Liam apologized but Louis didn't easily forgive.

"Alright but I don't believe you made it." Louis got up from the couch.

"But I bought it. Same thing." Liam just wanted to enjoy a nice dinner with his princess.

"Not the same thing," Louis muttered.

They both say down. Liam had everything set up. It was set up like any cliché romantic/apology dinner was set up. Lights low and flowers on the table.

"Is this an apology dinner?" Louis questioned. He wasn't impressed.

"Yeah, I know it's going to take more than an apology. That why I got you your favorites. And I even got the flowers you liked." Liam tried to explain.

"Liam, you didn't have to. I want you to understand why I was mad. Not for you to do this. I want you to actually know why you're apologizing. This isn't going to solve anything." Louis was sure Liam meant well but he couldn't help but be irritated. Did Liam think this would be all he had to do? Louis wasn't like other people. He liked to think that people did these gestures with meaning. Like actually know why the fuck they're apologizing.

It had been a few days ago and it felt like it happened yesterday. Every detail still engraved in his memory. What Liam did was unacceptable. He wasn't sure why he was still with Liam.

"I don't understand why you're mad. It wasn't that big of a deal. I just said it and you made into a big deal."

Louis was going to get angry at him. Liam planned on discussing this. Let's just say that both men have anger problems.

"I made a big deal out of it? I had every right to do so. You said I was your fucking mate. Not your fucking boyfriend. Not only that but you agreed that I should date Harry." Louis huffed. His face getting red in anger.

"I only said that I agreed that you two looked together. I didn't even say anything when he asked me about you. He asked what I thought." Liam was caught off.

"Liam, they asked you if you'd date me. You just kept your fucking mouth shut. Like why couldn't you tell the rest of your friends were dating? You scared to be called a fag?! Fuck you Liam. I'm leaving."

"Lou?" Liam went after him.

"Don't Lou me. I've had it. I was willing to fucking talk about it but you're such a dick!" He slammed the door close. Liam stood there looking at the door. Louis just left. What the hell could he do?

This wasn't going to take an apology and a dinner. He had to think bigger. Maybe Louis was right. No, he was right to be angry.

"Fuck."
