Opposites Attract (Marcel&Louis Stylinson)

Chapter 18

Marcel's POV

"And how's everything with Liam?" I asked Niall as I switched my phone over to my left ear.

"Great, quite perfect actually. He buys me a lot of food," Niall replied.

"Well, you know what they say, the best way to a man's heart is his stomach!" I snorted.

"Damn right!" Niall chuckled, "So how are you and Tomlinson?"

"We're pretty good, he starts college in less than a week," I paused, hating the thought of Louis going away, "So we've spent the whole summer together."

"That's good, you're gonna miss him a lot, yeh?" Niall asked.

"More than a lot for sure," I nodded to myself.

"You'll see him though right? Like whenever he doesn't have class." Niall spoke.

"Well I would but he's dorm-ing. It's easier for him to dorm because he has football practice and tournaments so going back and forth isn't needed. He's on full scholarship thanks to his football skills so he needs to stay their for tutoring too, you know, for subjects like math and science that are required." I sighed as I explained.

"That's tough, I'm sorry, mate." Niall sighed into the phone.

"It's alright, once I get my license I can go visit him whenever I want too. Mum's already planning on buying me a car sometime this week." I smiled.

"Oh! That's buzzin' yeh that's good," Niall said brightly, "I'm in my room babe I'm on the phone with Marcel!" Niall said loudly.

"Liam there?" I asked.

"Yeah he just got back," Niall informed.

"So Disneyland is fun, I'm guessing." I smiled.

"Very. VERY. Fun." I could sense Niall smirking as he spoke.

"Well, you guys have fun. Tell Liam I said hi, I gotta go practice driving with Lou. He's gonna be here any minute," I announced.

"Alright mate, have fun. Call me whenever you wanna talk. Love you!" Niall replied.

"Love you too," I chuckled, "Bye!"

Niall's on a little vacation with Liam and their families in California. Liam lives in LA so his family didn't have to go through the trouble of traveling to Ireland. Niall said they're having a blast and their families get on real well. I haven't spoken to Niall or Liam since school ended, which was nearly a month ago. Summer's breezing by quickly, I'm starting school again in a little over 3 weeks. It's gonna be odd to be a senior and horrible since Louis won't be with me everyday but I'll have to suck it up and be a man.

"Babe? Are you home?" I heard Louis call out from downstairs and I ran down as quickly as I could.

I leaped into his arms which made him stumble back, "Woah! Hello there."

I got down onto my feet and smiled, "Hi."

"I swear you're growing up way too fast, I can't keep up with you!" Louis pinched my right cheek.

"You're getting old, old man." I chuckled.

"What?!" Louis started tickling me and then he picked me up over his shoulder and carried me out to his car, placing me into the driver's seat then made his way over to the passenger seat. We both closed the car doors and buckled our seat belts.

"Alright, remember everything I taught you, right?" Louis questioned.

I nodded my head confidently then started the engine, I put the car in reverse and backed slowly out of my driveway, then I put the car in normal driving mode and stepped on the pedal to ease my way on the road. Louis nodded in admiration and I felt more confident now.

"Very, very good, you're gonna pass that test easily!" Louis smiled.

I reached my right hand down to hold his but he grabbed my wrist and placed it back on the steering wheel,

"No no no. Keep both hands on the wheel!"

"But you always hold my hand when you're driving!" I pouted.

"Well that's because A. I already have my license, B. I'm much more experienced, and C. I'm awesome." Louis smiled.

"So I'm not awesome then?" I rolled my eyes playfully, focusing on the road.

"No," Louis leaned over and placed a gentle kiss to my seat then he whispered in my ear, "You're perfect."

I smiled and looked over at him to place a quick kiss to his nose because looking back on the road again. I practiced driving around my entire neighborhood for about 20 minutes then returned back to my house for some cuddle time.

I made us both Louis' favorite tea and we got comfortable in the living room as we watched The Vow. 

I was laying in between Louis legs, my head on his chest, his arms around my waist, and he rested comfortable against the sofa. Both of our legs extended onto the table in front of us. The room was a bit dark, the only light was from the T.V.

"Do you think you'd ever forget about me like how that girl forgot about her Channing Tatum's character?" Louis suddenly spoke.

"I'd never forget you, babe," I leaned down to Louis' hand that was rested on my stomach and kissed it.

"You better not," Louis said quietly, "I don't know what I'd do without you, Marcel."

I tilted my head back and leaned up to place and upside down kiss to Lou's lip, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm only gonna leave you if you tell me to, wait no even if you tell me to I'll still hang around and bother the wiz out of you," I chuckled and rested my head back on his chest.

Louis reached for the remote after the movie's credits came up and pressed paused, "Trust me, I'm not letting you go."

I smiled as Louis skipped through channels, searching for something else to watch. I turned my body around to face him and lied on his chest. He held me like a koala bear and we watched Disney Channel. I leaned up to stare at Lou after I got bored and he looked down at me.

"Hmm?" He mumbled.

I leaned up and placed my lips on his, it didn't take us long to grant each other access with our tongues. My hips started rocking against Louis' and his eyebrows raised in enjoyment. I lied on top of him as he slowly slipped down to lay on the sofa, extending his legs out comfortably. My legs rested on top of his as we continued our heated make out session. I moaned into the kiss and made it obvious that I was desperate for more, more than just this.

Louis talked into my lips, "Don't get too caught up, babe. Calm down."

I groaned and continued. Louis' keeping me from going too far or getting too "excited." He can definitely hold his ground when it comes to these things but lately I've just been wanting him even more. He thinks I'm still not ready for it and I sort of agree with him, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it.

"Please, Lou," I whined as I kissed him.

He pulled away from the kiss, turned to the side which caused me to get off his body and lay beside him.

"Okay you are getting really horny," Louis chuckled.

I scooted closer to him and rested my arm on his chest and my head on his shoulder,

"I'm sorry," I pouted, "I just don't know what's wrong with me. Whenever we start kissing more and more I just get you know.."

"You're growing up," Louis laughed, "You're in that stage where you can get horny really easily. It's okay baby, I'm here to keep you calm."

"Being a teenager is so weird," I groaned.

"I wouldn't understand anymore," Louis said in a weird old man voice, "I'm an adult now."

We spent the rest of the night cuddling and talking, eventually falling asleep in each others arms.

One Day Before Louis Goes To College

I stepped back into Louis' room with the a pack of toothbrushes and toothpastes.

"Here, Lou," I handed it to him and he placed them into his suitcase.

"Ugh, I really hate packing. I'm not much good at it," He whined, giving me puppy dog eyes.

"Fiiiineeeeee, I'll do it for you." I rolled my eyes playfully and walked over to his suitcase.

He cheered then sat down onto his bed. I unloaded a couple of things and re-arranged quite a lot. After about 2 hours, I finally finished.

"There!" I stretched.

Louis hugged me from behind, wrapping his arms around my waist, and burying his face into my back,

"Thanks baby."

"Mmhm." I nodded.

We rocked back and forth as I started humming a random melody.

"I'm gonna miss you so much," Louis cried.

"Lou, don't cry please. I've done enough of that for the past month." I turned to face him.

I tilted his chin up so he could look into my eyes, "You're too pretty to cry."

Louis laughed a little and wiped his tears, after a while, he replied in a low, raspy voice "I really don't want to leave."

"But you have to," I pulled him into a hug, wrapping my around around his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around my waist, "You have to. This is your future."

Louis nodded and I felt his tears run down my shirt.

"Your future is so bright, so I hope I'm somewhere in that future with you."

"Of course you are," Louis pulled away and I wiped his tears for him as he looked up at me, "You're my future as well."

______________________________________________

"Do you have everything, baby?" Jay asked Louis as my mum stood with her arm wrapped around Jay.

Louis nodded and bit his bottom lip, "I better get going."

Jay nodded slowly but pulled Louis into the 100th hug today, she began to cry again, "My baby's going to college."

"Mum, if you keep doing this I won't make it to my first practice!" Louis spoke.

"Sorry, sorry," Jay pulled away.

"I love you," Louis smiled.

"I love you more baby," Jay nodded, placing a hand to his cheek.

"Bye, Anne." Louis leaned in to hug my mum.

"Bye, Lou. Drive safely, I love you." Mum hugged him tightly back.

Louis pulled away and nodded, "I love you too."

I helped carry Louis' suitcases and boxes out to his car to be placed in the back seats and trunk. I shut the trunk after the last box was loaded and Louis climbed into the car, then he rolled the window down. I leaned down and poked my head into his car.

"I guess you're really leaving now." I said, with a deep raspy voice. I've been crying the whole day so I seemed to have slightly lost my voice a bit.

"Not forever though," Louis gave me a weak smile.

I nodded and leaned in to kiss him. Mum and Jay watched from the front door, holding each other tightly as Jay cried.

Our kiss was passionate and needy. Like we didn't want to part but we knew we needed to. After our lingering kiss I whispered,

"I'll see you soon."

Louis nodded as a couple of tear drops ran down his face, "Soon. I promise."

I stood up properly and he backed out of the driveway. We all waved him goodbye and he waved back before driving away, away to college.

2 Days Later

Louis and I texted each other almost every minute. Informing each other what we're doing, about to do, or going to do. Telling each other every detail of our day. Then every night, we would talk on the phone until we fall asleep. It's been two days. Two long, gloomy days ever since he left. I needed him by my side. I was so used to having him with me that being away from him feels like I'm missing a chunk of my day. Like I'm sort of empty.

Louis' POV

From: Babycakes

1:17 P.M.

I miss you. xx

To: Babycakes

1:17 P.M.

I miss you too, so much. xx

It's been really hard being away mum and everyone. But even harder being away from Marcel. I hate it. I hate dorming. I hate how tired I get after practice then having to go to classes afterwards. I only look forward to talking to mum, Zayn, and Marcel.

"Hey! Tommo!" A teammate named, John, poked his head into my room.

"Hey, man!" I smiled.

"We got invited to a party at a sorority house tonight, it's mandatory! So come with a hot date, alright?" He said excitedly.

"Not in the mood to party, dude. Sorry." I shrugged.

"Oh hell no, you're coming. A lot of hot girls are dying to meet you and when I say hot I mean REALLY hot. I wanna hook you up with someone too!" He explained.

I haven't told my teammates about my sexuality and how I'm already in a relationship with the best guy on the planet. I've only been here for two days so we aren't all technically close yet. But the topic of gay came up yesterday when we were all in the locker room and one dude tripped and smacked his arm against another guy's bum. The guy was furious, thinking that the dude wanted to smack it. The whole team, except for me, went nuts. They started teasing the dude calling him a bunch of stereotypical names. It was an awful sight to witness. I didn't speak up though, I should've said something or defended him, but I didn't. That's one of the things I regret most now. The team doesn't like that guys like guys. They only support guys liking girls. That's fucked up.

"Dude come on," John interrupted my thoughts, "Don't be a fucking loser."

"Fine, fine. I'll come, but only for a little bit." I massaged my head.

"Good! I'll come by to get you later." John closed the door and I went back to texting Marcel.

Should I tell him about the party? I mean, since I'm only going for a little bit I don't see that it's a big deal. Plus, I'll make sure to be back in time for our nightly calls.

I'm glad I get to dorm by myself. Having a roommate would be quite a pain in the ass.

From: Babycakes
1:22 P.M.

On my way to take the test, wish me luck! xx

To: Babycakes
1:26 P.M.

Good luck, babycakes! You'll surely pass xx

Marcel's POV

"Alright Mr. Styles, smile!" The lady held the camera up.

I smiled brightly and she snapped a picture.

"Congratulations on passing your test!" She smiled.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" I nodded.

Gemma and I waited to get my license printed. Then after about 20 minutes, I was handed my license and a few paperwork. I got stuff signed and that was it, I got my license!

"Where's the first place you're driving now that you've got your license?" Gemma wrapped an arm around me as we made our way to her car.

"I wanna go and surprise Louis," I said excitedly.

"Really?" She smiled.

"Yes! I really want to." I nodded.

"Alright, let's go home to your new car then." She nodded and drove us home.

I put a few clothes and needed essentials into my backpack. Then mum and Gemma waved me goodbye from our front door as I pulled out of my driveway.

"Finally," I said loudly, "I GET TO SEE MY BOYFRIEND!"

______________________________________________

John came to get me and led to me to the sorority house. The party was loud, crazy, with colorful lights flashing resembling a club. People were fooling around in the pool, dancing poolside to the music, and just chillin'. It seemed nice and all but I still wasn't in the mood.

"Tomlinson!" John called me over, "I want you to meet someone."

I cursed under my breath, not excited to meet any girls really.

"This is Eleanor," He smiled as he put an arm over a girl with long, curly brown hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, and wearing a light blue bikini.

"Hello," I nodded respectfully.

"Eleanor, this is THE Louis Tomlinson. One of the best players on our varsity football team. The one you've been dying to meet." John explained.

"Oh my goodness," She smiled, "It's great to finally meet you. I've heard so much about you!" She pulled me in for a hug.

I awkwardly hugged her and pulled back as quickly as I could.

"I'll leave you two.. uh, alone." John winked before making his way to a group of people.

I stood their oddly, not knowing what to say, I don't even want to talk to her. All I want right now is my Marcel.

"You uh," She stepped closer to me as rested her right hand on my shoulder, then she leaned in to whisper in my ear, "You wanna get out of here?"

I shifted back and gave her a weak smile, "Um, yeah actually."

This is perfect. I could leave with her, letting people think we're gonna go have some freaky alone time, then I'll just tell her I don't feel well and head back to my dorm.

"Great!" She pulled on a dress and grabbed my hand, "Let's go."

She dragged me through the crowds, we passed John who raised his drink to me and cheered, I gave him a thumbs up then turned away to roll my eyes, then we were out of the house.

"Finally," I sighed in relief.

"Yeah, now it's just us, huh." She pulled me closer to her, making our noses touch.

"Uh," I tried to pull away a couple of times but she kept pulling me back.

"Don't be nervous," She whispered.

"I'm not," I stated, "I really just don't go... that way."

She pulled away with a puzzled look, "Wait.. are you.. are you ga-?"

I covered my hand over her mouth before she could finish and looked around to see if anyone was listening. I removed my hand and nodded,

"Yes. And I have a boyfriend back home. But you can't tell anyone. My team are totally against it and I'm already having a hard tim ebeing here, I really don't need to be bullied about my sexuality either."

"I see," She slowly nodded, "Alright then, under one condition."

"What?" I stared back at her.

"Pretend to be my boyfriend." She stated.

"Wh-what?" I chuckled.

"Look," She began, "My friends have been so annoying about me not having a boyfriend and it's my last year of college. So pretend to be my boyfriend for like a month and I'll keep your secret. I promise."

"Um," I squinted my eyes, "No."

"Why not?" She said angrily.

"Because I have a boyfriend!" I replied.

"Come on, you can tell him we're doing each other a favor. Please!" She begged.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to pretend. I'm sure Marcel wouldn't mind either since it's just fake.

"Fine, but I have to tell him first before you confirm it to your friends." I stated.

"Deal." She held out her hand for me to shake and I took it.

Suddenly, we saw cop cars surrounding towards the entrance of the campus. We both ran up to a random cop that just arrived to ask.

"Excuse me sir," He turned to look at Eleanor and I, "Can you tell me what's going on here?"

"A truck just crashed into a car. It sent the car almost flying, we're trying to get more information right now." I explained.

I thanked him and walked up closer to the scene onto the road to look as Eleanor followed. I didn't recognize the car or the driver, but I got a very weird feeling in my chest.

An ambulance soon arrived and quickly ran out to both drivers. The truck driver seemed okay, he was able to walk but they still sat him down to have him checked for any injuries. It took a while for the other paramedics to get the other driver out. The car was in pretty bad condition but it thankfully didn't flip upside down to the ground. As soon as the driver was removed from the car and set onto a stretcher. A pair of familiar looking glasses fell out of the car as soon as the paramedic turned around.

"Wait a minute," I spoke, no it couldn't be. Those glasses..... it couldn't be.

"What's wrong?" Eleanor nudged me.

"I need to check something," I quickly walked forward, towards the car and picked up the bloody glasses.

"Excuse me sir, you can't come any closer. Please step back," A cop interrupted my steps.

"No," I moved pass him, "No... no no..."

"Sir! I need you to step back," He rested his hand on my chest, pushing me back a bit.

"Move the fuck out of my way!" I ran past the cop and right up to the stretcher.

No.. no. I looked at the broken body from his legs, slowly moving up to his torso, then stopped at his face. I collapsed to the ground as I gripped the glasses and breathed out,

"Marcel."
