What If//h.s

Epilogue Pt. One

I rubbed my arms against the cold as I rushed to my biology class. I was running a little late again but that wasn't new. I blew in right as our teacher got there. He smirked at my entrance but had long since stopped commenting on it. I hurriedly took my seat next to Louis as Liam and Niall smiled at me. "Hey guys." I whispered, rubbing my hands together to try to warm them.

"Why aren't you wearing a jacket?" Liam whispered to me.

"I think I left it at Harry's." Louis snorted.

"Yeah, you did." He said, looking up from his phone with a smile. I pushed him a little as Liam and Niall laughed, turning back around in their seats. On the table, Louis' phone buzzed and he smiled before rapidly texting someone back.

"Who is that?" I whispered teasingly to him.

"Shut up." Louis said blushing and shoving his phone into his pocket. I laughed a little under my breath as Louis sat up. For the past week or so, him and Aaron had been texting back and forth. Harry and I had told him about Aaron and his feelings towards Louis who seemed very flattered and embarrassed. When I told him he didn't have to talk to him or see him if he wasn't into that, Louis quickly jumped in.

"Actually.." He paused. "Nobody... I've never told anyone but..." He glances at Harry. "I'm Bi-sexual. That's sort of why I've stuck around Harry for so long. I thought you were pretty hot." Louis blushes "especially when you're angry but I knew you weren't Bi or gay so it didn't really matter and I liked being your friend after a while. You're more like a brother now." Louis corrected quickly.

"It's cool mate. I sort of already knew you liked me."

"That obvious?" Louis asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Kind of." I laughed hitting Harry's arm lightly.

"So, Louis.. Want Aaron's number?" Louis and Aaron have texted nonstop since then and have even met up for coffee on a couple of occasions. Louis likes talking to him and he also thinks Aaron is extremely cute but I'm worried about him. I don't want him to get too infatuated with Aaron or for Aaron to suddenly realize Louis isn't who he thought he was. I don't want Louis' heart to be crushed any further than it already is. So I talked to Aaron about it.

"Hey, are you here to see Niall?" Aaron asked as he opened the door to the Frat house. I shook my head slowly and stepped in.

"I'm here to see you." I paused. "I want to talk about Louis."

"Are you going to give me that 'If you hurt him I'm going to beat you senseless' talk? Because.. I don't want to hurt Louis Emma, I swear."

"I know and you're a great guy Aaron but..." I stopped. How did I say this without scaring Aaron off? "Louis, he's been through a lot and I don't want you to just.. Give up on him or try to shake him loose if he gets clingy. He's been with girls before but as far as I know.. You're the first guy he'll ever be with, if you guys get that far." Aaron was nodding his head slowly. "I just don't want him getting hurt."

"Hmm.." Aaron said slowly, thinking. "Okay, I'll keep that in mind. He's a nice guy Emma and I like him. We're just getting to know each other right now but I'll keep a note of everything you've said. I won't just leave if things get tough." I breathed a sigh of relief and found myself hugging Aaron.

"Thank you and we should all hang out over winter break. It'll be fun."

"Yeah, sounds like it. You have my number of course." I nodded my head and smiled at him before he let me put of the house. Aaron's words had comforted me and now I felt better thinking about the two of them together.
