Chapter 18: The Forgotten Best Friend

Autumn can be anyone you want her to be, but I think Selena Gomez  fits the role perfectly. What do you think?

Autumn's POV

Louis Tomlinson.

He is standing here in front of me; professing his love for me. It's not a big deal, right? We always used to tell each other that we loved each other. But why do I suddenly feel like I'm going to faint? We may have "loved" each other when we were younger but has our definition of love changed? Does he mean that he loves be more than a friend? Does he feel the same way?

I say,"Y-you don't mean that. You never loved me." Darn my stupid stuttering.

Louis looks at me pleadingly,"Autumn I've always loved you, you've always been my best friend. Even when I wasn't there for you."

Best friend. I'll always be friend zoned. I should have never gotten my hopes up because Louis will continue to break my heart. Even when he doesn't notice. He still continues to break me on the inside.

"You-u love me as a friend?" I ask quietly, trying to conceal my aching heart.

Louis looks at me with a "duh" expression. "Of course I do! Why wouldn't I? I've been telling you this since we were little. I love you as a friend."

I feel my heart crumble. My heart has been broken so many times. I'm just done. I'm done with the heartbreak. Is he doing this on purpose? What have I done to deserve this?

"Louis-"

"Autumn, please forgive me. All I want is my best friend back!"

I can't help but feel like there is more to just getting his best friends back. He's hiding something. Something that I honestly don't want to find out.

"Louis, I can't." I breathed out.

I hear rustling from behind me. Emily squirms in her sleep again. I need to keep my voice down. Louis looks at me heartbrokenly. His eyes show a underlying emotion that I didn't notice before. He asks,"Why?"

Why?

"Because-" I stop suddenly.

Louis looks at me waiting for an answer.

"Because...your girlfriend wouldn't want us as friends." I said quickly.

Gosh I'm so stupid! That was the lamest excuse ever. I might as well hung a sign above my head saying,"Jealous alert."

Yes, I admit I'm jealous. I'm jealous that Louis's girlfriend gets what I never had. Louis looks at me in shock,"Why wouldn't she want us friends?"

"I d-don't know Louis." This stuttering is honestly annoying. It makes me sound like I'm a weak little pigeon, with a broken wing; spiraling down into the abyss of depression and jealousy. So weak and useless. 

"No Autumn tell me?! Why wouldn't Eleanor want us as friends?!" He yells angrily.

His face comforts into anger. It seems that all we do is fight. This is exactly why I didn't want to see him again. I shouldn't have brought his girlfriend into this. He probably loves her. I mean really is in love with her. My heart aches thinking about it. I let my feelings get the best of me again. The feelings that should have been gone long ago.
