The Contest

Chapter 12

A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to @2depressed because of the perfect cover that she made for me.

*Louis’ P.O.V.*

We went to the party and it was very loud and everyone was having a lot of fun! Tiana and Liam were dancing really close, looks like they are having a great time, if you know what I mean… Diana and Peter were dancing even closer, talking and sometimes kissing.  Megan and Niall were in the corner talking but Niall was looking at something else. All the girls are really good dancing and they are all having a great time! But me? I am just here, with my ass in an uncomfortable chair with nothing to talk about with my “girlfriend”.

“Girlfriend” because I don’t love her anymore.  I like someone else, a lovely, sexy, intelligent, nice girl that is dancing with another man, with my best friend, actually! I was thinking about how gorgeous Maria is when Eleanor came up with this idea:

“Hey, do you want to dance?” She asked. In fact, I want to dance but not with her.

“No, I’m just going outside” I whispered.

“Are you ok?”

“Fine, absolutely fine. Just leave me alone!” I almost screamed the last sentence.

I went outside as I told Eleanor and I started thinking about what would be my next move. I can’t take this any longer; I have to break up with Eleanor… But not now maybe tomorrow, early morning. I was having these thoughts when Maria appeared. She was the one who was closer to me when dancing so maybe she heard what I said to Eleanor.

“Hey! Is everything Ok? Don’t kill me” She came with a smile but while saying the last phrase she cringed like I would hit her, what made me laugh.

“More a less, love troubles…” I answered.

“Oh, I have been there, it sucks” She said like she was an expert. “Well, actually I’m there yet”

“Do you have a boyfriend?” I asked, I have never asked her this or, at least I don’t remember the answer.

“No, I wish. Exactly my problem, the one I like has a girlfriend…”

“Oh ok” I was happy but she likes someone? Really?

We stayed there for a few minutes sit down in the floor in the back of a bar. Maria rests her head on my shoulder and says:

“It’s getting a bit cold isn’t it?” I only take off my jacket and put it around her, like in the movies. She smiles.

“Are you trying to make this look like a movie?” She asks.

“In the movies I watch this is the only romantic thing that boys do. And save girls from the bad guys but I think that I won’t have to do that”

“I don’t think so” She said after she gave me a beautiful and big smile.

We stayed there for some more minutes and then I remembered that we got to go inside because guys should be worried about us.

“We searched for you everywhere” Harry said when we got in.

“Looks like it wasn’t everywhere…” Maria just said in response.

“What were you doing outside?” Zayn asked with an if you know what I mean face.

“Actually nothing” I answered.

“I just made him let me in” I said.

“Where’s Eleanor?” I asked because she was the only one missing.

“She left crying” Perry answered. “I tried to go with her but she didn’t let me. I’ll try to talk to her tomorrow morning”

“No, I’ll talk to her first and then, she is all yours” I said.

“Do you want to go home?” Harry asked me.

“Yes but don’t come with me. Enjoy your night!” I added, living the room.

Maria ran to me and said that she was coming too. “I’ll drive” she said.

“ok” I whispered. I knew that she can’t drive because she is only 17 but she told me that her dad teaches her and I wasn’t really in mood to discuss anything.

When we got in the car she took off her high heels, saying that it was really uncomfortable, specially to drive.

We arrived my house, I said goodbye and got out. I went to my room and after dress up my pyjamas I fell asleep quickly.
