Loved Me Back to Life

Chapter 9 pt. 1

*Louis' POV*

It was 7:37am Saturday morning and I was so excited that I was finally able to go back home to England tomorrow. Nothing against this beautiful country that is America, but my mum and my sisters are there and I missed them so much. But since I couldn't sleep and decided to wake up at the crack of dawn I had a couple of hours to just sit here by myself before I started feeling tired again. I didn't mind it though, cause it gives me a few moments to think and I haven't really been able to do that during the week cause of all the work and practices I had. The only thing I really needed to think about was Shelby and how I was gonna go about the situation, cause I was still gonna try to pursue her, but my problem was how I was going to be able to trick Harry into believing that I was really only "committed" to her and not have him suspect that I was still sleeping around. Cause I mean no offense to Shelby, but I know it's going to be a challenge to get her into bed and I couldn't go that long without... being satisfied. I know this makes me seem like a huge asshole, but challenges really do turn me on and I will go to any length to get what I want. Harry was the biggest obstacle in this entire thing. He knew I wasn't the one to be in a relationship and for me to pick the one girl who doesn't ever speak would be quite a stretch. Now I need to rethink this entire thing because I had to make it seem believable, to not only Harry, but also the people who hang around Shelby everyday. They're probably protective over her so I have really be able to convince them and the only way I can do that is if I convince myself.

"How am I supposed to do that?"

I accidentally said that out loud and louder than I thought and my roommate woke up a little and I tried my best to hold in my laugh. He sat up for like ten seconds then slowly laid back down facing the other side and mumbled something before he continued snoring like a wild bear. I let out a small chuckle, almost unnoticeable, then went back to trying to figure out what I was gonna go about getting Shelby. I sat there for twenty minutes trying to come up with a believable plan to get Shelby to agree to "date" me but it's extremely difficult considering she doesn't speak! Sheesh! Why does she have to have this problem? Why can't she just be normal? I pondered on those questions for a moment and before I could think of something else, my eyelids started getting heavier and fatigue had hit my body like a freight train. I didn't try to fight it cause I knew it was probably going to be the best sleep I've ever had, so I laid my head on my soft pillow and without another thought, I was sleep.

-----------------------

I had woken up at around one o'clock this afternoon and the only thing that was on my mind was the lack of food in my stomach and I had to do something about that. So I took this as the perfect opportunity to take Harry with me and tell him that I was going after Shelby. I hadn't yet come up with a plan about how I was going to convince him that I was being for real and I was really nervous that he'd see right through me. Not that that was gonna be too hard. I'm pretty shallow when you get right to it, but hopefully I'm lucky and he doesn't suspect anything. And the only reason I'm trying to push this right now is because I leave for home tomorrow at 6am and I wanted to get a jump start on this so that I could at least have her number over break.

When Harry and I were in the dc getting our food, I was contemplating to myself how I was gonna go about this but I just couldn't come up with anything.

"Lou? Are you alright mate, you haven't spoken to me since we got down here?"

"I'm fine mate, but I did wanna talk to you about something."

He looked at me with a puzzling look and I only continued looking at him before a grin came across his face and spoke to me again.

"Oooh seems serious."
