I Never Gave Up (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 2 - Lexie's Secret

Before anyone could say anything about what just happened, I turned to Lexie and smiled. In return, she gave me what I knew was a fake smile.

"Lex, get your butt over here right now and give me a hug!" I almost screamed. She just casually walked over, still with the fake smile, and we got into a tight embrace. We stayed like that for a while before she whispered something into my ear.

"I need to talk to you later; in private." I just slightly nodded so she knew that I heard her. Suddenly, I heard more voices outside the door, and I could recognize them anywhere! In no longer than five seconds, the four boys that I adore the most were standing at the foot of my bed.

"What are you boys doing here? I thought you had an interview?" They just smiled and shook their heads.

"Nope," Harry said popping the P. "We rescheduled the day because we heard the news!" Liam said to end off what Harry had said. We all shared a round of hugs and for some reason; Liam seemed to linger with his arms around me for longer than the other boys did. I just shook off the thought and put my eyes back on the boys in front of me.

"Why is Louis out there crying Lyss? Shouldn't he be happy that your back? Cause I know that I am!" Niall said out of the blue.

"Who's Louis? I don't think I know a Louis..." I said trying to search my brain for anyone named Louis that I have ever met. When I couldn't think of anyone, I looked up at the boys again and they all had shocked faces, with their jaws hitting the floor.

"What?" I ask them. They all just look at each other and we sit there in an awkward silence. What's going on?

"Am I supposed to know someone named Louis?" After I said these words, they all just gasped.

"Alyssa...Louis is the boy that's crying out there...he's your boyfriend..."

****Louis' POV****

"Um...I'm sorry...but, who are you?" What? How could this be happening? She has to be joking! But she looks like she is serious. Oh God; I can already feel the tears forming, one about to fall.

"Ok sweetheart...stop with the joking...you don't know how long I've been waiting to see you with light in your eyes...please stop joking with me! Please babe!" I pleaded, trying to get the truth out of her. I kept telling myself that this was just a joke, but when she didn't say anything, or even look at me, I knew that she was telling the truth.

"I just really don't know who you are. I'm sorry, but I hope you can understand me." It was the last thing I heard her say, before I dropped the bouquet of flowers on the sofa beside the window. And the only thing that I could've thought of to do was to run. My subconscious, my brain, and my legs were making me run out of the room. As soon as I got out of the room, I fell to my knees and cried. I cried harder than I've ever cried before. I just let the tears fall. Putting my head in my hands, I bawled even harder, which I didn't even know was possible. A few minutes later, I heard four pairs of footsteps approach me. I looked up for a moment, but dropped it again seeing that it was only the boys.

"Lou, are you okay?" Harry said with what sounded like shock, surprise and concern at the same time. In response, I just sobbed more. As they should clearly see, I'm not exactly in the talking mood.

"Just go in there. She's awake." I said blandly between sobs. They didn't say anything, but they just left me here. No more than ten seconds after the boys left and went in, someone else came out. I was surprised when I looked up and saw Lexie there. She just simply took a seat beside me on the chairs, and took a deep breath.

"I couldn't be in there any longer; not with those boys in there anyway." I tied to clean up my tears with my shirt, but I bet my face looked like hell.
