To say that the next few seconds were chaotic would be an understatement. Basically all hell broke loose. Eleanor suddenly became un-drunk because her palm came in contact with my cheek. Louis was on the floor holding his nose and the blonde who was just previously kissing his girlfriend was helping him up. Zayn stood over him, his jaw set, and breathing heavily out of his nose. Me. Well I just stood their gob smacked.

"What the actual hell Erica!" yelled Zayn. I just stood there, non-reactant to anything. Eleanor pulled my hair and I turned to her, rage evident in my face.

"Oh my god, would you just FUCK OFF!" I screamed. Her jaw dropped as she stormed farther off into the crowd. Zayn was still yelling at me as I felt a hand enclose around my wrist. It tugged me away from the screaming Zayn, who I was trying to punch, but more turned out to be flailing around.

I was dragged outside into a side alley and I ripped my wrist away from whoever had grabbed it. I wiped my cheek and noticed I was crying. I glanced up to see Louis fitfully running his hands through his long hair. To say he looked hot would also be an understatement.

"Jesus Christ, Erica," he smirked looking at me. I sniffled and looked away.

"I'm really sorry, I don't know what happened. I couldn't kiss Zayn... I don't love him." I whispered burying my head into my hands. Louis pulled me into his chest. I glanced over his shoulder to see the blur of lights from all the clubs, the reds, the greens, the whites, and see the headlights of cars zooming by leaving behind only a memory and the stench of exhaust. Even the sky was still lined with smoke from the fireworks that had finished going off, the stars only faint dots in the foggy background.

"Erica it's getting late," Louis sighed pulling away. I nodded wiping my eyes and nose and gripping my black clutch in my hands.

"Right sorry, I gotta find Zayn-" I mumbled.

"No, please don't." Louis said. I looked up to see his eyes lined with tears. His hair was standing up in weird places and his smile was only faintly showing.

"What?" I asked wrapping my arms around myself. "I swear to God if this is a trick I wi-" But I didn't finish for my lips were captured in Louis moving hesitantly then swiftly as he held me close. He slowly backed me up to the brick wall of the club and started to run his hands up and down my sides. I slowly laced my fingers through his hair and tugged softly emitting moans from him.

"So if you don't love Zayn, who do you love?" asked Louis nestling his head into my neck, tufts of his hair tickling my cheek.

"You," I murmured as he ran his lips up and down my neck.

"Good," he smirked grabbing my hand and leading me off into the night.

We came upon a vacant playground, with four swings and a little jungle gym for kids. With our hands interlock we clambered up the stairs on the jungle gym and sat down under an awning. Our limbs were tangled together due to us being to big the space. I leaned back, resting my head against the cheap plastic as Louis played with my fingers.

"Why are we so fucked up," Louis asked leaning forward and kissing my cheek.

"'Cause it's us. When are we not a mess," I laughed. I glanced over to Louis expecting to see him smiling but saw a frown lingering across his face.

"That's the thing though. I want- no I need you but we always seem to be screwed. I just don't know anything anymore." he sighed. He laid back so his head was resting on the twisty slide. I smiled remembering how he used to do that when we were kids.

"Well if there is one thing to know about us, we are both stubborn as fuck and are persistent. I promise to make this work if you try." Louis grabbed my hand and pulled me down next to him so my head was on his chest. He chuckled softly and kissed my ear.

"I would do anything for you," he whispered.

"Same."

"Will you repaint my car?" he asked.

"Anything but that," I laughed kissing neck before falling asleep under the stars.
