Finally Falling

Chapter 25

Marcel's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~

I decided to walk home after school since it was such a beautiful day. I shoved my hands into my pockets and kicked the pebbles with every step I took. It was the beginning of fall and I knew that it was going to be getting really cold soon. I'm actually really excited for that. I was still happy that Louis had asked me to the carnival too. It was a thing that happened every year and I remember myself always being stuck in my room as I viewed the top of the Farris Wheel in awe. I couldn't wait to go and it will be extremely more fun with Louis. Sam had already decided that we will be going shopping tomorrow after school.
I finally turned and walked into my driveway seeing my mothers car already parked.
" Hello, mum?" I walked inside and closed the door as I waited for a response.
" Marcel! Get in here now!"
I flinched at the tone of her voice. I did something wrong. I know I did, but what?
I slowly walked over to the living room where I saw my mother pacing in anger.
" Yea?"
" Don't yea me Marcel! What the fuck is this?!" My mum has never actually cursed at me, so when I heard those words I felt a shiver go down my spine.
" What are you talking about?" I asked as I placed my backpack onto the couch.
" I get home today to see a letter and a voicemail saying that you got in school suspension? For fighting?!" Her face was red with anger.
I never liked getting yelled at. That's one of the reasons why I was so good. I always end up crying.
" But-"
" No buts. I bet it was about that Louis boy."
I looked at her in utter shock. How dare she blame it on Louis.
" Mum no it wasn't Louis fault. He didn't make me fight I chose to!" I shout.

" I don't care. I don't want you seeing him anymore! He's a bad example on you Marcel! Ever since that boy came into your life your grades have been going down! You started fighting Marcel!" She yelled.
She paused for a moment as if wanting me to say say something, but I didn't say a word.
" Your grounded for two weeks. After tomorrow you can't go anywhere but school and home."

" Wait mom please I have something to do this weekend! It's important!" I try to explain.

" You should have thought about that before you started fighting. Now go to your room."
I shook my head with a big sigh. What's the point? After she's made up her mind there's no turning back. I went upstairs and furiously wiped the tears away. No I'm not going to cry there's no time for that right now. How could she not let me see Louis again? It's my life and I can be friends with whoever I wanted. I suddenly remembered the date and I frustratedly pulled on my hair. How the fuck am I going to tell Louis?
" Oh sorry I'm bailing on you because my mommy said I can't go out or see you." I laughed but there was no humor evident in it. I'm going on that date I just have to figure out how.

~•~•~•~•~

" I feel so bad for you Marcel."
" Yea she said that Louis was a bad influence on me."
Sam burst into a fit of laughter and I gave her a pout.
" What's so funny?"
" It's just that Louis is a bad influence but not in a bad way. You guys are like Yin and Yang. You fit together." She replied as she searched through the clothes at the Hollister store.
I smiled at that.
" Just sneak out" Sam shrugged as if it was the most obvious answer.
I looked at her with an arched eyebrow.
" You must be crazy. I can't sneak out."
" Why it's easy! I do it all the time." Sam chuckled.
I thought about it for a while. Should I sneak out?
" Think about it. If you don't go on this date maybe Louis won't ask you out again."
She had a good point there. I don't know when the next time he'll ask me out and God knows it took him forever to ask me to this one. It may take him twice as long the next time.
" Oo how about this." Sam held up a pair of skinny blue jeans to go with a top that she had just picked up for me.
" What's up with you and skinny jeans?" I chuckle.
" You have nice legs Marcel, you should flaunt them." She replied with a smile.
" Thanks."
After a few minutes we decided to go to the food court to get something to eat.
As we walked I saw a familiar head of hair and felt a sudden nervousness.
" Oh shit isn't that Louis?" Sam laughed. She suddenly stopped when she saw a blonde headed boy come up next to him.
" Oh Louis look!" Niall shouted as he pointed over to us. I put on a smile and made Sam walk over to the two of them.

Sam's POV
~~~~~~~~~~~

My smiled wavered as I saw the blonde head of hair near Louis. I was so not in the mood to see Niall right now. It's not like I didn't like him anymore because trust me, I still do. It's just that he hasn't made a move after he kissed me and I'm getting impatient.
" Oh! Louis look!''
Marcel grabbed my hand and led us over to them.
If there was any day that Niall could wear anything cuter it would be today.
He had on cargo jeans, a green hoodie and his white high tops with the usual white snapback.
" Hey guys!" Louis smiles. I'm to busy "subtly" checking out Niall to notice Louis' hello.
Marcel elbowed me and I looked up suddenly.
" Oh hi Louis. Hi Niall.." I waved. I could see the smirk on his face as he looked me up and down.
What the heck? I had on shorts, a red Hollister shirt, and red converse. Nothing special about that. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze so I decided to get away.
" Marcel weren't we supposed to go get some food?" I ask as I pull on his sleeve.
" Oh really? Lou and I were headed to the food court maybe we can go together." Niall smiled.
Everyone agreed and we walked to Chipotle which I picked.
After we got our food, Louis being the only one with a bowl and the rest of us got burritos, we sat at a booth with Louis across from Marcel and Niall across from me.
Louis and Marcel automatically went into conversation, leaving Niall and I to just eat our food.
" Um.. so what kind of meat did you put in your burrito?" Niall asked.
" Chicken."
I took another bite and scrolled through my phone.
" Sam come on.."
" Come on what Niall?" I reply as I put my phone down.
He took off his hat, fixed his hair, put it back on and sighed.
" Sam I'm just not ready for a-"
" Niall just stop. You don't just kiss a girl and be all romantic like that and not be ready for a relationship."
I was honestly so frustrated with him right now.
Marcel turns to me and senses my discomfort. I look down but I can still feel his green eyes on me.
" Yea I think we better get going." He says suddenly. Marcel stood up and let me out and I waved goodbye at Louis.
Marcel and I dumped our trash away and walked out of the Chipotle.
" What happened?" Marcel asked as we were on our way to the car.
" I'm just so done with him." I reply with a wave of my hand.
Marcel let's out a light laugh and we both get in the car so that I could drive him home.
