Kylie's P.O.V
-----------------------------------------
I'm not sure what to think. Not sure what to think about this whole big mess that's become my life.
"Lou-Louis?" asks Violet shakily. I give her arm a reassuring squeeze to calm her down. Louis's sea green eyes snap to Violet's dark brown ones.
"Love, you don't understand!" He says, pushing himself off the couch and shifting uncertainly from foot to foot.
"I understand just fine." Replies Violet, crossing her arms firmly across her chest. "I understand I need a new date to the spring fling."
"Please, just let me explain!" Louis says, and I can hear the urgency in his voice. Seeing tears gathering in Lou's eyes, I dig my nails into Violet's arm. She winces.
"Just give him a chance!" I whisper. Louis sends a thankful smile in my direction. I smirk back. I am so done with doing this guy favors! Violet sighs, but shifts her weight, moving the arm that was crossed so firmly over her chest seconds ago to her hip.
"Fine." She says.
"You'll have to come closer so you can hear." says Louis with a grin. Vi reluctantly trudges to the living room, looking at the old, creaky, wooden floors. I see Kayley smiling in the corner of my eye.
"GO AWAY!" I yell, angry tears threatening to spill onto my cheeks. How could she? She ruined my best friend's relationship. I hate her so much right now.
"Whatever." She mumbles, turning and running down the steps into the basement.
Once Violet gets close enough, Louis scoops her up, bridal style.
"LOU! PUT ME DOWN!" She shrieks, kicking but connecting with nothing but air. Louis laughs, then throws her onto the plush white couch.
"Maybe you'll listen to me now, eh?" he asks, letting an arm drop lazily across her shoulders.
Vi's cheeks are red, her eyes bright.
I smile, looking at the pair of them. He's so tall and scary and daring and muscular and she's...not. I never would have thought they would be good together. But now, sitting side by side on the couch, they look perfect. I place my head in my hands, pretending not to be listening.
"Look, I'm sorry." Louis says, and I can see him take her hand from the slight space in between my fingers.
"Babe," he says, inching closer to her,"Kayley forced herself on top of me. I swear I'll do anything..."
He's interupted.
"I believe you."
"What?" asks Louis, shocked.
I said," says Violet, a slight smile playing across her lips,"I believe you."
Louis laughs and picks Vi up once again, twirling her in the air in a circular motion.
"I love you." He breathes into her neck. "I love you so much."
"I love you too, Lou." Violet giggles, standing on tiptoe to plant a quick kiss on Louis's fore head.
"Now that all this drama is over," I say, "who wants some food?" Louis lets out a whoop of delight and rushes towards the kitchen with Violet on his back. Suddenly, I wish Niall was here. I was he was here to tell me he loved me and to give me fore head kisses and piggyback rides. I blink away the tears. He's just a few houses away, I remind myself. I can see him any time I want. I still feel as if there's some kind of barrier between us, but shake off the thought and walk into the kitchen. "My God, where were you?" asks Vi, perched on a tall brown bar stool.
