It's already dark outside and I get goosebumps of the cold evening air that strikes the bare skin on my arm. "Here." Liam says and gives me his jacket. He gently places it in my shoulders and leads me to his car.

The drive seems much longer than the first one and I can't make myself looking at Liam, I force myself staring outside even though the questions I want to ask him are burning in my throat. Liam didn't speak to me either and I'm afraid he never will again.

The radio plays silent and slow songs want makes me want to cry instead. The air in here is so thick I can barely breath. As he slows down the car and stops in front of my house I don't hurry to get out. We sit there for a few minutes, staring into the dark until we both start speaking at the same time.
"You first." He says and the smile on my face disappears as fast as it came. "I-I don't know what to say." I admit. "I'm so sorry Liam." I say and a tear rolls down my cheek. I try to hide it, try to smile it away but it burns.
"Oh come here." He calms me. "It's not your fault, it's mine. I'm sorry Maddy. I hope we can stay friends." He wraps his arms around me. "I hope so." I sob on his strong shoulder.

After some more hugs and Liam assuring this will not come between us I go inside. I let myself fall on my bed and stare at the ceiling. This wasn't what I hoped for, not at all. This isn't the way it's supposed to go.
Sleep seems to win his battle and after some minutes I fall asleep.

....

As I open my eyes loud noises are coming from down the garage. I fell asleep in my grey dress yesterday, I was too tired to change. I put jeans shorts on and a white tank top.

I quickly check the site of the university I'm going to; no new news. I take a look at the schedule I made.
I get up at 7 am take a shower until 7.10 am and get dressed, eat something and brush my teeth. Then it is 7.30 am and I go to the coffee shop on the corner of the street. After that I take my books and take another look at my homework and stuff. Then it is 8am and I can watch some tv or make sure Alison gets up on time so she won't be late. Classes start at 8.40 am so Alison has about twenty minutes to get ready in the mornings. That should be enough.

The noises become louder as I come down the stairs. I grab an apple and go outside. My dad is working on that car again, Cleo. He's sweating and wipes his forehead as I come in the garage.

"Hey girl." He says without looking at me. His eyes keep focussing on the car and what he can change about it. I walk a bit closer so I can take a look inside of the car. My eyes go up and down the furniture and steering wheel of the old truck. A small golden lace laying in the front of the car gets my attention. The door of the passenger is open so I lean inside to take a closer look. The golden lace is tangled around my two fingers and just as I want to open the amulet my father pops up.
"Hey what are you doing?" He asks and grabs the amulet. "I was just taking a look, what is it?" I ask. "None of your business. Now leave me here I have a lot to do." He puts the golden amulet in the pocket of his trousers and leaves me standing by the side of the old truck.
What. Was. That?
Like he asked I leave him alone and go to my bedroom. I open my laptop and go to facebook just scrolling like always when suddenly my phone starts buzzing. A new message from Louis.

'Hey beautiful, yr busy ?x' I know it shouldn't but his text makes me smile like a weirdo.
'No, facebook and stuff x'
'Wanna hang out?x'
Wanna hang out? I don't know actually. Louis is nice and friendly and pretty damn hot and every time I talk to him he can put a smile on my face but the thing is: his damn reputation. He's a player and I don't know if I'm one of his next victims. But on the other hand he's so friendly, you can't be faking this, or he's a veeeeery good actor. And the way he keeps texting me and how he helped me in that bathroom.. He didn't know me. If he was playing with me he wouldn't do such an effort right? He wouldn't hang on this long and by the way, everyone needs friends, even Louis, he probably just wants to make new friends.

'Yea sure :)x' I text back.
'Cool, I can pick u up if u want?x'
'Kay :)x'
'Be there in like ten min. Ok?x'
'Great x'

Does he even know where I live? When I think back.. He was the one sitting in the car when I gave Harry his phone back, but that was in Alison's house. I recognized him on the party. I can ask him as he arrives.

I check my hair and put some mascara on. After that I grab my phone to text Alison I have a 'date' with Louis. Her response is just what I expected.

'Omg Maddy! I can't believe it yr actually making it gurl, show him what the good life is ;) have fun! Xx text me allll the details!'

With a smirk I put my phone in the back of my shorts. I brush my teeth for the second time today and I'm ready for Louis. Why would he want to hang out with me anyway? I'm boring as hell.
The bell rings and I jog down the stairs like I always do. I think I'll even be doing that on the day of my wedding. If I ever find someone boring enough who wants to be my husband of course. I open the door and as I see him smiling at my I instantly start smiling as well, that's what he does. His skin is a bit tanned and his shirt is showing me he has a tattoo on his arm. I can't see which one, I can only see a small part of the black inc.
"Looking fabulous like always." He smiles. "That's my style." I joke, the smile on his lips is just adorable. I follow him towards him black car that seems familiar in some way.
Louis doesn't open the door for me like Liam did and that doesn't surprise me in some way. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable and it seems like we've known each other for years. He starts his car and pulls off of my small driveway. Music is coming out of the speakers and Louis doesn't bother to silence them while speaking. "So uhm we could watch a movie at my place? Harry is with that blonde today." He proposes. "Yea sounds great." I say. It feels kind of exciting, I mean I'm kind of nervous to go to his place and watch a movie. The way he speaks to me and is no gentleman at all makes me feel he doesn't want anything of me at all. If he would add me yo his list of 'victories' he certainly wouldn't hang on this long and act like we've known each other for so long. He would probably just act like Liam and take me to a restaurant and give me his jacket to win my heart. I don't like it when people do such an efforts for me, I like it way more like Louis does it, just to make new friends.
"Don't mind the junk, Harry is the cleaning lady of us two." He says. I laugh by the way he throws the simplest thing out, he's so calm.
