Broken Walls *AU*// L.T.

8. Friends

Louis P.O.V.

I walk into the kitchen after Cami, and sit on the other side of her, Harry on the left side.

I know it seems like we are battling for her, but we aren't. I mean obviously Harry has no chance. She's only known him what, a few days? She's known me since we were little and she can trust me.

Who the hell am I kidding, she can't trust me after all ive done to her. Hell, I couldnt trust myself.

For me, its like I always have this small sliver of hope that she will ask me to be her boyfriend, that shell give me a chance. But that sliver is always crushed when she starts to act different towards me or runs away. I don't blame her, I would too. I know it will never be like the movies where she'll forgive me automatically and run into my arms, and we could run away and be happy. But that is never going to happen.

I meant what I said that day in Chemistry. If he's not around that won't be a problem. I can finally get control over Cami again and make her happy instead of him. We will become a couple and finish senior year together. Then we can get an apartment together, go to college, move to Doncaster like when we were kids instead of Manchester . I have it all planned out. I may sound like a creep, but I love her to death.

I would do anything for her and if Harry's around, I won't get that chance. I'm not going to get rid of him, but he's definitely not going to be going after her. I am going to make sure of that.

"So , Haz , there's the fall dance coming up on September seventeenth. You going?" Cami asked, smiling at him and ignoring me.

"Uh.. I'm thinking about it. I am thinking of asking Delilah, the girl you met today but I don't know if she would really want to go with me." He explained, eating another chip. She better say yes because he is not going with my Cami.

"Oh that's cool. I'm not gonna go, dances have never been my thing." She huffed, facing her eyes on the table. Dances were never her "thing" because of me. I woildnt let her have a date. But I'm asking her now.

"Really? I figured it was. But never judge a book by its cover I guess." He chuckled and so did she. "What about you Louis? You going to the dance?"

"Yeah.. I have a few people in mind..." I trailed , looking straight at the side of Cami's head. She turned her head slowly and looked at me in confusion.

"I'm talking about you, you know." I whispered against her ear and she shivered.

"I know." She whispered, gulping loudly.

"That's cool. I have to go though I'm meeting Delilah after school, she lives on the street behind us. I have to go home and shower." He told us, getting up from his chair. He's fucking leaving, finally. Thank you God.

"Well, of course, gotta smell good for your lady." Cami teased. He laughed and I sat there with no expression because I hated when they made eachother happy.

I'm not a jealous prude.

"Yup. I'll see you tomorrow okay Cam? Tell my mum I'm at a friends will ya?" He asked and she nodded.

"Of course. See you." She smiled and stood up. I swear I wanted to choke him when she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. I felt fire burn through my chest and she let go after what seemed like hours.

Harry smiled and left , the door slam being heard.

I turned to Cami and her gaze was stuck to the floor as she sighed.

"Something wrong Cami?" I asked, standing up. She just shook her head and leaned against the fridge.

"We still need to talk about this Louis, okay? What... I don't understand what is between us." She said with a shaky voice and I breathed out confused. Hell, I didn't know either.
