Opposites Attract (Marcel&Louis Stylinson)

Chapter 31

Marcel's POV
With the word 'no,' I quickly turned around and left. I have to catch my flight. Of course I know who Louis is. I just, if I say yes... I'm scared he'll persuade me to stay with him. I have to take this opportunity and go. I saw Travis' and Zayn's reactions though, they were pretty shocked. Mum and Gemma just stood there, speechless. Thus for Louis... I think I really hurt him. But, what has he done to me in the past week? He didn't answer any of my messages, left before I could apologize, refuses to see anyone, ignored Zayn, and he dares to come like this? If he was trying to get me to stay then it didn't work.
But, his eyes. They looked so pained and hurt. It matched mine. We are both suffering. I don't know what's going to happen when I get back but for now, I'm going to enjoy this trip and help the children I'm destined to help.
Not gonna lie though, I miss him more than anything in the entire world.
And I love him, I love him. I separate the love for him from the love for my family. Of course I love mum and Gemma. But it's different for Louis. I don't mean that Louis is more than my family but it's a close share. I love him. I love him more than YOU can imagine.
I have to go though, I have to. If we're meant to be then that's what I hope for.
I quickly made my way to the waiting area for my flight. After minutes of waiting, the announcement came on for passengers to aboard. I made my way to the line and got into the plane. Before I fully stepped in, I looked back to remember Doncaster for my goodbye.

Zayn's POV

I slowly approached Louis and helped him stand up. After Marcel's answer, Louis seemed lifeless. He didn't respond to my touch, he just sort of let me do whatever I wanted to him. I sat him down on a bench nearby. He just kept staring at where Marcel last stood. Lou didn't speak though, I think he kind of died a little inside.

"Is he okay?" Travis walked up to us along with Gemma and Anne.

"Obviously not," I answered as I rubbed his back to try and calm him a bit.

"Marcel was just-"

"I know," I interrupted Gemma, "I know Marcel very well and I know exactly why he said what he said. But right now, it's not about Marcel. I don't need to guys to try and make this okay for Louis because it's obviously not okay for Louis. He's hurt. He's really hurt. So, I suggest you guys just leave and leave him be. I can handle him, I've handled him for more than 12 years now."

Anne looked hurt but she nodded and gestured for Gemma and Travis to leave as well.

"I'm sorry," Gemma said before she walked away.

Travis stood there though. I looked up at him and raised my eyebrows.

"What do you want?" I asked rudely.

"I understand why you're defending Louis, but spare a thought for Marcel as well. He's been so hurt and almost broken by Louis that it was really hard for him to leave today. He didn't even speak in the car and he looked just like how Louis looks now," Travis turned around to walk away after his statement.

Louis slowly stood up and called out, "I know."

Travis stopped but didn't turn around so Louis could continue,
"I know I messed up. You don't think I know how hurt he was or is? I didn't know how to handle him leaving me for 5 months. Him leaving Anne and Gemma and Zayn and everyone else for 5 damn months," His tears were intense and unstoppable, "I didn't know how to allow myself to be okay with him leaving. I didn't know how to help him through this or help myself through this either. I didn't know what to fucking do with myself because it's so different with him. People in my life can just leave for a long time but not Marcel, no not Marcel. I guess, it's because..."

Travis turned around to wait for Louis to finish.

"Because I'm completely, unconditionally in love with him."
