Beat Still

Chapter 35: Beat Still

*Louis' Pov*

I examined myself from every angle in my floor length mirror. Why I chose the tightest costume in existance, I don't know. But I must admit, I look really good in tights. I tied the red cape around my neck and did one final turn. Perfect.

I headed into the bathroom to put on the final touches. I applied a healthy amount of hair gel to slick my fringe back and left one piece of hair hanging forward. Then I grabbed Lottie's hot curling iron and curled the piece. I puffed out my chest and posed.

"Superman!"

I heard a chorus of girly giggles from behind me and turned to chase my sisters out of the room. I rolled my eyes and chuckled as I flopped on my king sized bed. They were always spying on me, the rascals.

I unlocked my phone and searched for Harry's number, dialing it quickly.

"Bear!" My heart leapt at the nickname.

"Haz! Should I pick you up?" There was a pause and I became scared that he had changed his mind.

"Nah, I'm not dressed yet." I blew out a sigh of relief.

"Harry! We're already like an hour late."

"Fashionably late." He pointed and I could almost hear his smirk.

We were heading to the party of the year. April Lee's Halloween party. She's been throwing them since we were in diapers, and literally everyone goes.

Well, except those few years that one beautiful person whom may or may not be named Marcel Edwin Styles wasn't in attendance.

"Helloooo, Louis?" Oh yeah I forgot I was on the phone.

"Sorry bout that, I was...putting on my shoes. At that comment, I actually began sliding on my red boots. I look so gay.

You are gay.

Oh yeah. Well technically I'm bisexual, but-

You are gay.

Okay then.

"I don't even know why I'm going to this thing. I mean sure my mates should be there, and it will be a great time to talk to them but I doubt Marcel will be there." I could tell Harry was nodding understandingly because he did not reply,"He hates parties so he'll probably just want to give out candy to kids with Zayn." I sighed and withheld the urge to say his name mockingly.

"I think that is their plan actually..." I rolled my eyes. Of course it is. "But I'll convince him to go. I really want you two to talk." I was thankful to Harry for doing this.

"Thank you Har- wait! Is Zayn coming too?" Harry chuckled so deeply I could almost feel it in my chest.

"I'm pretty sure he will want to bring his boyfriend, Lou."

I groaned loudly,"Ugh, don't use that kind of language!"

"Boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend!" He yelled while laughing hysterically.

"Go get dressed, you bugger!" He only laughed at my insult before replying.

"I'm going! Beauty takes time, Louis." I rolled my eyes, he's so ridiculous.

"Whatever, talk to your brother. I'm going to drop the girls off at their friends house."

We said our goodbyes and I was off to find the Fairy Princess, Minnie Mouse, Angel, and Cheerleader. After applying a healthy amount of glitter makeup to the twins, taking selfies with Felicity, and jokingly scolding Lottie for wearing her actual cheerleading costume for Halloween, I herded the girls downstairs.
