Help

Recap

Louis clapped loudly once I was done and I couldn't help but giggle. I tried quieting my loud laugh by covering up my face yet Louis stopped me and held my hands in his.

"Don't hide your face. Your laugh is beautiful. You're beautiful." He said softly. And then he looked into my eyes, and I looked into his.

Before I knew it, we where leaning in. Closer, closer, and closer. Our lips barely touched before we heard a shrill voice screaming.

"LOUIS!!!!" Well I guess the devil does wear Prada after all.

Present

Louis looked up and frantically pushed me away from him. I briefly stopped myself from tripping and tried to hide the hurt from my face. I desperately tried my best to stop the tears from falling, but with every mere second I was closer and closer to simply breaking down. As my vision blurred due to the tears in my eyes I thought I saw a couple of flashes, but I simply ignored it.

"Louis how could you?" Eleanor squealed dramatically.

"Uh-but-um--I...I'm sorry?" Louis stumbled over his words nervously while Eleanor just stood there, glaring at him.

"How could you? After all we've been through..." She said, 'tearing up' at the end. Louis just stared at her blankly, and suddencly she slappped him forcefully and stomped back to her car.

"Ouch..." I said awkwardly. Louis glared at me and started chasing Eleanor.

Ugh why are boys so stupid? First he's kissing me and then he's glaring at me? I need some serious help, but I have no one close enough to me that I can talk to. Unless I call Alexandria...but she'll probably be busy...but she promised me I could always call her! Alexandria is my best friend, and when I moved to Oxford we promised to stay in touch.

I started walking towards my dorm in college while searching my contacts for her name. When I entered my dorm I realized my roommate wasn't there, and I mentally thanked her.

I sat on my bed and dialed her number. After about three rings I grew impatient and was about to hang up, until I heard my best friend's voice on the line.

"April?" She asked excitedly.

"Alex?"

"Oh my gosh it is you! Why haven't you called me? I've missed you so much? When are you coming to visit me?" She said quickly.

"We can talk about that later, but right now, I have major guy issues." I said with a sigh.

"Oh honey what's wrong?" She asked worriedly.

"Well you remember Louis? Yeah I ran into him..."

"That's great!" She interrupted me.

"You didn't let me finish. I ran into him...and his girlfriend."

"Oh."

"I know right. So I simply tried to ignore him but the odds are not in my favor because I saw him again in my music theory class-"

"Why would a pop star be taking a music theory class?" She interrupted me once again.

"Would you let me finish? Anyways, he and the band were there to help us out on our music projects and the boys all remembered me but Louis seemed completely oblivious to our past. Then, he agreed to help me out with my project and we met at a park nearby. Well I ended up waiting for him for like three ours. Give or take. And when he finally showed up his hair was a mess and he has a lipstick stain on the corner of his lips. You know what that means! Well anyways, I kinda ended up trying to wipe the lipstick from his mouth which was really awkward. So then we finished writing the song for my class and somehow he ended up leaning in and kissing me lightly. Until, his 'lovely' girlfriend decided to show up. Suddenly she smacked him, I made an awkward comment, blah, blah, blah, and he ended up glaring at me and walking away." I said casually.

"Woah. I'm just at a loss for words." Alexandria said incredulously.

"Tell me about it." I said sarcastically.

"Wow um. I have no idea what to say."

"Fat lot of good you are then. Look whatever I'll figure it out. I gotta go just bye Kathy, love you." I said before hanging up.

I rubbed my eyes sleepily and then got changed into my pajamas. I fell asleep after tiring my brain with complicated thoughts about my complicated life.
