"Give me my juice box!" Five year old Louis shouted. He jumped up trying to reach it from the bully's hand. He was just to short.

"No. It's mine now." Daniel said and he's about to take a drink from it but a kid pokes his shoulder. Louis looks at the kid who could be around six. He was really tall and had fluffy, curly hair.

"What?" Daniel asked obviously annoyed.

"Give the kid his juice back." Harry said. Daniel rolled his eyes and went back to drinking Louis' juice but Harry pushed him down and took the juice from his hands. Louis and Harry sat on the bench together drinking Louis' juice while they watched Daniel cry.

I hated lying to Harry. I always felt guilty right after because he was my best friend. But I couldn't tell him where I was going, he would flip if he found out. Harry has always been protective over me and if he found out who I was going to be with there's no telling what he would do. He didn't exactly know about my relationship with Ethan because no one did. Ethan wanted it to be that way.

I love him that's all that matters. I think he loves me, maybe. He says he does.

I picked up my phone to read the text I just got.

Hey Lou can u pick up some cigarettes for me? xx

I replied texting yes and put my phone in my pocket. I dropped my skateboard to the ground and started riding it to the gas station. I didn't have a problem with buying him stuff when he needed it. My parents are rich and they pay no attention towards me anyway. I could buy New Mexico and they wouldn't care.

I laughed at the thought of buying a state. "HEY LOUIS!"

I'm startled and look around franticly not paying attention to where I was going and fell off my skateboard. I groaned and stood back up dusting my pants then picked up my skateboard.

"Ugh!" I groaned again because one of my wheels broke. I heard laughing and turned around to see Seth standing there. "Don't you have something better to do?"

He stopped laughing, "Nope, I'd rather watch you make a fool out of yourself again. You know it's quite hilarious."

"Yeah so funny." I start walking again and he follows, "Leave me alone. I don't like you."

"Aw but we used to be such good friends." I continue walking and Seth follows. "Why don't you like me? Everybody loves me."

"First don't call me that, second your ego is way to big and third, why would you even consider what you did to Harry?" I asked because what he did was seriously uncool.

"It was about time the bastard got what he deserved, don't you think?" He said, I rolled my eyes.

"I thought he was your friend. Sorry to tell you but friends don't do that to each other." I walked into the store and of course he follows.

I walked up to the counter and asked for a of cigarettes. While Seth was still talking to me. "I didn't know you smoked, and I'm pretty sure you don't."

"It's for my boy..... Uh it's for a friend." I cursed under my breath since I almost said boyfriend. Ethan doesn't like titles.

"$2.34 please." I hand the lady the money and she gives me the cigarettes. My phone vibrates so I look at the message.

Louis where r u I need to smoke.

"Who's Ethan? Do I know him?" I quickly click my phone off and put it back in my pocket. "Is he your boyfriend?"

"No, no and no." I said. It's not hard lying to people but it only hurts when I do it to Harry.

"Yeah OK." It's quiet for a moment and Seth is still following me because I can hear his footsteps. "Let me have a cigarette."

I winced and the thought of what happened last time I brought Ethan a cigarette pack with just one not there. Let's just say it ended with an angry Ethan, a fist and me crying. "Louis?"

"No. Leave me alone." Seth tried to grab the pack but I pulled away from him. He grabbed the pack but I was still holding on to it while we tugged it back and forth. "Stop just leave me alone!"

"Just give me one!"

"No!"

"Fine." Seth stopped tugging causing me to pull back my arms making all the cigarettes fall out. My eyes widened then my phone starts ringing.

"H- hello?" I stuttered into the phone.

"Louis, where the fuck are you? I need to smoke!" Ethan yelled.

"I... uh I need to go get them."

"I fucking texted you an hour ago! Why don't you have them already?!" He asked.

"I.. I did b- but I d- don't have it anymore."

"Will where the fuck did they go?" He yelled.

"You know what fuck it! Just come over." He said then hang up.

I whimpered then turned back to face Seth. "This is your fault!"

"You told me to let go so I did."

"Why won't you just leave me alone." I screamed then turned around walking towards Ethan's apartment. Seth doesn't follow me this time.

I had to mentally prepare myself before knocking on Ethan's door. I stood there for five minutes and when he didn't answer I pulled the door open. "Eth- Ethan?"

Ethan walked out of his room and straight up to me wrapping his arms around me. I wince because at first I thought he was going to hit me. "Hey Lou."

"Uh h- hi."

"I'm sorry baby." He said.

"It's OK. But I brought you one." I held out my hand showing him the one cigarette I had left. He smiled and grabbed it then walked away. While I was left confused.

"So Lou why was there no pack?" Ethan asked from the other room.

"Will I did have it but this boy-"

"Boy?"

"Yeah this boy made me-"

"Why the fuck where you with a boy?" I cursed under my breath at what I said when Ethan came back into the room.
