I'll Be Your Reality ~Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction~

Chapter Eight: What About Us?

*Jessica's P.O.V*

Louis and I cuddled on the couch the rest of the evening as the guys were at the beach. Although I just met Louis I feel as if I've known him forever, no wonder he was my 'best friend'. 

The door opened and Louis and I continued watching the movie, resting on each other. Harry walks up and stares at us in shock. 

"What is going on!?" He asks loudly. I jump at his volume. 

"Nothing, we're just cuddling; best friend cuddling." Louis defends. "Get your hands off my girlfriend." Harry responds.  I widen my eyes and look at Louis, he nods and I get off of him. Louis stands up and Harry takes his place. I'll admit, it was pretty cute of Harry to get jealous.

We sat there in awkward silence, no one had a clue what to do. Harry's phone broke the silence with a small buzz. He checked it and let out a sigh. He looked at me emotionless.

"We're going on a date." He states. I send him a confused look "Where? Why?" I ask. He chuckles "One, it's a surprise. Two, because Management just texted me and if you want to get your 10,000 dollar pay you have to do what they say." He explains. I widen my eyes, TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!? That's a lot of cha-ching...

"Alright!" I speak, I look at Louis who has a sad look to him, his lip is slightly pouted and his eyes scream disappointment. I get up and pass him, I slyly bring my hand to his famous Tomlinson Bum and give it a pinch, he jumps at my actions and I send him a slight smirk which he gladly returns.

I walk over to my room and try on a casual dress. It's a simple navy-blue dress with a brown belt, not too fancy not too casual. I straightened my hair and sprayed on some perfume, I accessorized my outfit with some jewelry to finish it all off.

I strolled into the living room, Harry was already ready to go. He had a navy button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he had on dark skinny jeans and white Converse. He looked pretty great. I walked up to him. "You look beautiful." He tells me. Louis, Liam, Zayn and Niall awkwardly stand in the room. Instead of responding to Harry I look at Louis. I send him a sad look and he returns. "Ready to go?" Harry asks. I sigh "Yep." I respond.

We go to Harry's car. The ride is silent the whole way.

"So why exactly are we doing this?" I ask him.

"To prove that I'm not gay." He responds bluntly. I nod. We stay silent for a while longer.

"What if I want to back out?" I ask. Harry swerves the car a bit but gets back on the road.

"You can't, it-it's...You can't." He stutters. His breaths become heavy. "Look, Jessica, I know you love Louis." He tells me. Is it that obvious? "But you have to face reality, he's dating Eleanor, if he breaks up with her is career is on the line. I'm trying to protect both of you." He clarifies. I sigh. "I'm sorry Harry, I didn't know..." I mutter. "It's okay." He responds. "But let's try to make this work, okay?" He asks. I nod. 

"I really, do, love you, Jessica." He tells me. I bring my attention to the window. The car stops.

"You hear me, Jess? I love you." He tells me once more. I bite my lip and close my eyes. 

"I love you and it's killing me." He whispers. A tear slowly falls. I face his sorrowful face.

"But I love Louis." I weakly respond. He sighs.

"I know."
