~Chapter 17~

Louis’ POV.

I didn’t care if she knew. I’d already put myself at risk, stalking my younger self and telling him to get onto Lexi. I didn’t care if I was highly vulnerable to being caught by my younger self.

Her comforting arms around me was something I’d missed all these lonely months without her. It felt so incredibly right being wrapped in her long arms, but the second her tears started falling I moved to hug her.

“Hey, hey, don’t cry Lexi, please don’t cry. I didn’t mean to-”

I couldn’t finish my sentence, as something was entirely blocking my mouth.

My eyes started wide open, as I realized what was going on.

Lexi. Was. Kissing. Me.

This wasn’t meant to happen….

Lexi’s POV.

We were both crying into each others arms, and that when I felt it. I loved this boy, with all my heart. So,  I did the thing that came into my mind.

I kissed him.

He was surprised, I could see it in his eyes as I hadn’t shut mine. But he didn’t kiss back.

I removed my lips, to look him dead in the eye, as he just sat there, shocked.

“No.” He whispered, turning away from me, and standing up. “No, this shouldn’t be happening. You should have kissed the younger me- You shouldn’t have kissed me.” He directed that last bit to me, and I shivered slightly as his voice raised a little. But I stood my ground.

“Why shouldn’t I have kissed you? Why do I need to kiss Louis? The other Louis? You’re the same person for heavens sake!” I semi yelled at Louis. I couldn’t fully yell at him like I so badly wanted to, in case the other Louis heard. Damn this whole thing was doing my head in. He practically just told me I die, too soon in the future, and he expects me to go to the other him? “I don’t even like the other you! He’s not you.” I whispered that last bit.

Louis ran his hairs frantically through his hair, gazing desperately into my eyes. “You just said it yourself seconds ago, we are the same person. Damn it Lexi.” He semi cursed, turning away with his hands set on the back of his head. I rolled my eyes at him. “But he’s not. In the same way that you are older him, it’s like, you’re both two entirely different people.” I sobbed the last word, collapsing back onto the bed as the tears started again. Louis’ eyes were still watery and red from crying, and trying not to cry, and while it broke my heart a little I knew I had to stand my ground.

“Louis, I can’t do this. I don’t love the other Louis nearly as much as I love you-”

He cut me off. “See, you do love him! And you will love him just as much as you love me! God damn it I should never have changed the past!” He whisper yelled.

I froze, staring at him as my brain registered what I’d just heard.

“You- you changed the past?” I said quietly. He lowerd his hands and turned to face me, nodding as he did so. “Why?” I asked.

“Because- the day Louis- I found your mum, your dad came home just before I called the ambulance, and he tried to beat me up. You came home and took the beating for me. Then…. Then he- oh god Lexi, he killed your mum.” He gulped, looking up at the ceiling. My heart had stopped and my mouth was dry as I listened to his story.

“Then we’d run. We ran for hours, until we found ourselves in the middle of a farm in the middle of nowhere. That was- our first kiss.” I swallowed, trying to make my mouth a little damper. “But- Louis, that’s not what happened.” I said, my hands and feet shaking ever so slightly. He nodded again, swallowing thickly, and I could see his Adam’s apple move as he did. “It didn’t… because I lead your dad away from Doncaster, to London…. He beat me up there instead.” He said, moving his sleeve up his arm to show me the bruise.

I tilted my head questioningly at him, but before I could ask what was really on my mind, Louis- the younger Louis- was tapping gently on the door.

“Lexi? Lexi, mum wants us downstairs asap, the nurse just called, and your mum’s awake and we’re going to the hospital in five minutes. Are you decent?” He added. I glanced from the door to Louis, who was already halfway across the room towards me. He engulfed me in a massive hug, but he disappeared as I hugged him back.

To go from hugging someone, to hugging air, is the weirdest sensation in the planet. And one of the most painful.

Wiping my eyes free of stray tears, I turned to the door and opened it to see Louis’ face. “Hey- you alright Lexi?” He asked, his eyes watching my face as my eyes slowly started to feel normal after crying. I breathed in deeply, before doing something I honestly never thought I’d do.

I leant in,…….

And kissed him.
