Promises | l.t

Twelve

We slowly walk back to campus, exhausted. The entire night I had been nothing but a Barbie doll to some of the high school girls. I enjoyed being around Louis' sister, but her little friends where obnoxious. So we decided to leave, and I walk with my high heels in hand.

"I'm really sorry about tonight, you're just so beautiful! That's why these girls love you so much," Louis giggles, his cheekbones standing out.

I blush, "Thank you. But that's not the case, they admire me because of my age. When in reality, they probably are talking bad about me."

"What makes you say that?"

"That's how girls usually are. I bet they secretly want to be with you, but they can't because they're in high school. So they talk to me like I'm the most amazing person in the world," I say, accurately reading the girls minds.

He chortles, "I'd never be with them. High school girls aren't my type."

"And I am your type? I'm a writer, a shy writer," I roll my eyes, "At least shy around people that I don't know."

"You're adorable Liv. No matter what you say about yourself, I like you," He stops in the middle of the university football field and holds my upper arms, "That is an undeniable fact my love."

I smile, "Come on, let's go back to the dorms. I bet Astrid is waiting for me."

We did as expected and walked back to the dorms. Louis was nice enough to walk me to mine, since I was afraid of the dark.

"Pick you up tomorrow before class?" He grins and pulled me in close, "Unless you have a different opinion on walking around with me."

"No, that would be amazing Louis. Thank you for everything. And it seems as though you have proved me wrong. You do have a heart and soul and I guess you aren't the biggest asshole ever," I shrug and he leans in closer.

"See you tomorrow beautiful," He kisses me gently, his eyes gleaming, "Goodbye."

I watch the boy walk away, and I couldn't stop smiling. Things had changed, and it scared me to think about. I open the door, seeing Astrid at the corner of my eye kissing some guy.

"Sorry am I interrupting something?" I say in a mocking tone and let my body fall onto my bed, my smile still not fading away.

"Oh Alivia, nice to see you," She says between her sloppy kissing, and once I realized who she was kissing I was shocked out of my mind. It was my half brother Harry.

"Oh my fucking god, what is even happening?" my smile immediately left my face and I became furious, "Is this someway of payback Harry? You're such a bag of dicks."

"What? Im just acting how you're acting. Sleeping around like a filthy slu-" I slap his face  as hard as humanly possible.

"Never ever call me a slut, I like Louis a lot! And I haven't had a boyfriend for many years so I don't want to hear your dumbass remarks!"

"Sure Alivia, say what you want. But just know that I'm smarter than I look," He pushes Astrid off of him, and she was just as confused and upset as I was, "Have a good day Liv Durrant."

As he leaves I run over to Astrid, "Im sorry about that, my brothers very ignorant."

"I thought he loved me. Does that mean the past week he's been lying about everything?" her heart seems broken, "I can't believe this is happening."

I held her tightly, feeling sympathetic, "I'm so sorry Astrid. You deserve better than any of the shit these guys have poured on you."

"What about you? Louis has done so much to hurt other girls, why are you making the wrong decision?" she spat.
