36. Just a Best Friend?

Louis William Tomlinson

I wasn't sure if what I was doing was right or wrong but watching her laugh and dance with him took me back to the time we danced together at the dance studio. I wanted a dance with her, just one dance and that's what I did.

We danced for a bit until I sense something wrong and her eyes show me worry. The next thing I know is she ran away from the room.

She told me she couldn't.

What did she mean by that?

I walk over to where Harry was and ask him for the key to the room.

"Is everything alright?" he asks me, I nod.

"All's good. I just need to get something-" I start to think of something more convincing for him. "I left my phone up there." I tell him.

"Uh yeah." he nods and hands me the key card. I thank him and walked as fast as I could out of the ballroom. I walk into the elevator and press the button that would take me to the floor I had to be on.

I replay the whole thing again trying to see if I went wrong somewhere. I do not know from where it was but I was a little angry realising that she left me again.

The elevator door opens and I walk out and head to the suite. I put the key card in the slot and open the door. I find her sitting there on the couch with a glass in her hand and she look at the glass table in front of her. I didn't make any sound except when I closed the door, she turns to look at me.

"Louis" she gasps. "W-what a-are you doing here?" she stutters.

"You owe me an explanation." I calmly tell her. I was angry. I did not do anything wrong, I just danced with a girl who happens to be my friend, what could be so wrong with that?

"I-I'm sorry. I d-didn't mean to walk out." she was crying, I could see fresh tears falling from her eyes.

"Surely you didn't. Then why did you walk away." I ask her firmly. "Did I do something wrong? I did not find anything wrong in asking my best friend to dance." I look at her.

"I couldn't do it anymore." she looks away.

"What couldn't you do anymore? Dance?" I walk close to her and sat opposite to her. "You were happily dancing with your boyfriend." I was pissed, I sure am pissed.

"Or is it that you now dance only with whoever is your boyfriend?" she looks at me. "If that's the case then I'm sorry. I wasn't aware." I tell her. "I won't ever do that again." I say and get up from the couch and walk towards the room we were sharing. I wasn't going to sleep on the bed tonight.

"Is that all I am to you?" I turn around and I see her standing. "Is that all I am to you? Just a best friend?" she asks me again.

"Haven't you already proven that I'm just your best friend for the past ten years?" I snap back. "That there is nothing more than just being friends between us." I look at her with anger.

"If that's what you want to believe, then fine." she turns around and walks away into the kitchen. Again, she left me.

I walk across the room and stand near the counter. She washed the glass and set it aside.

"You saw me as a best friend all through those years that I have loved you. You chose to not see it." she turns around.

"You should have thought of leaving some hints around for me to know." she looks at me.

"Hints?" I mock. "You wanted hints." I mock and say.

"Only just a best friend comes up into your room in the middle of the night whenever you had a bad day." I look at her, I spoke with anger but I did not yell.
