It's Gotta Be Lou

Bon Appetit

***(y/n)'s POV***

"Eman where are you taking us?!" I was seriously confused, we weren't anywhere near the food court, however we were on the same level.

"Patience, I'm sure it's somewhere marvelous, after all we did tell him to lead the way." said Liam and ended with a smile. He was very nice and I saw why EVERYBODY loved him.

"Here we are!" exclaimed Eman. Wot was he thinking? Olive garden? He was insanely mad, we didn't have that kind of money to be eating here, I only brought $10 with me. Great.

"Are you serious? Why here? Eman I don't have money!" I couldn't help but scold at him, and I felt rude talking to my best friend this way in front of the boys. "Erm, forgive me I just can't pay for this. You know poor people problems."

The boys laughed at my comment, I started to blush. "Don't worry! We'll cover you! Besides, we came for a good bite and I'm sure your pal won't let us down, not to mention it's a 2 for $25 deal!" Niall said giving Eman a huge pat on the back.

****

The waiter attended us to a table, we asked to reserve two more seats for Harry and Lou. I wonder wot they were talking about. Wait, that's none of my business. Focus (y/n)! Ok, I'm back.

I noticed Eman was on his phone, "Hey you should really get off your phone so we can get to know the guys more." He put it down and looked at me and just smiled. Oh god I'm scared.

"So One Direction, or just Liam, Zayn, and Niall, you know it's not One Direction if Harry and Lou aren't here. Tell us about yourselves." I was surprised Eman had asked such a question since he pretty much stalks them all virtually on twitter, tumblr, and facebook. He obviously has no life.

The waiter came halting an answer to a pause placing the bread sticks in the middle of the table and excused himself after he wrote down our beverage of choice. Eman and I stuck to a lemonade, Niall was interested in the wine, Liam ordered a coke, and so did Zayn.

"Well here's something interesting, I don't like spoons at all." Liam's face scrunched up as he was pushing his spoon away with a fork

"It's true, he doesn't! He hasn't used one in over 10 years! However I use them to eat anything in a bowl!" Niall said of course and then added, "Hey are these breadsticks unlimited? I saw a sign back there that said they were."

"Of course they are why else would they advertise them?" Zayn replied with a face palm.

We talked for awhile and I began to think being with these guys was a gift. Every girl longs and wishes to have moments like these but I would have never thought I'd be one of those girls who are spotted or seen with such big pop stars. I considered myself lucky.

"(y/n)? Is that you?! Wow! Good thing I checked fb otherwise I wouldn't have known where to find you. I stopped by your house and you weren't there and you wouldn't pick up your phone either. Great we can talk!" everyone looked at Devin. They were stunned as much as I was. But why? Do they know him? Do they know about us? Why is he here?

"Excuse me for a moment." I left the table and walked outside the restaurant with Devin and sat on the nearest bench. "Devin, don't look for me anymore. I'm through all this. So please, you're making this harder for me to forget about you and everything."

He held my hands. He was facing me and then words came out, "Look I know I said I was over our relationship but I'm not. I love you like crazy and I don't want to be that loser who let you get away. You're my dream that came true and with you gone my life is a total nightmare! I don't want you to forget me, can't you see, I love you!"

***Devin's POV***

I hope she was buying this. Half the words coming out were just words to make here come back to me, but I did miss her. She was different than any girl I had ever dated, she trusted me no matter wot, and I abused that trust. Now I may never get that back and possibly be stuck with Sally.

A tear came down her cheek and she put her head down and started sniffling. She was texting someone and that's when I knew she was going to leave. "You should've never came. I have to go, just leave me alone. Please, it's all I ask." and there she went rushing into the restaurant and came back out with her best friend. I couldn't let her leave me, so I grabbed her by the wrist, pulled her towards me, and finally kissed her. This always cleared her mind. I know she loves me and with this I could win her back.

***Lou's POV***

"Come one Harry move faster!" I kept pushing the elevator button hoping it would move faster and Harry was still running behind me. Luckily he came as soon as the doors opened and we both got in.

Harry was out of breath and very confused finally asking, "Lou slow down for a bit and tell me wot is going on!"

"She's leaving! I need to catch her before she's gone." I couldn't really explain anything since I didn't really know why she was leaving, but I was desperate to catch up to her and ask wot was wrong.

Passing almost every store on the second level I saw Olive Garden within our distance, and there I saw them. She was locked in his grip and their lips were pressed against each other's. I came to a halt, I didn't understand. Why is she with him? I misunderstood the situation and was relieved to see her break away from him and slap the bastard and leave with her friend. Devin dismissed himself walking away with his hand to his cheek where (y/n) had slapped him. I found myself running towards her leaving Harry behind but I'm sure he'd understand.

****

"(y/n)! Hold on a second!" she turned around, and it hit me hard after seeing her cry. It always did. Eman released himself from her; I caught up to them and he excused himself to go back with the boys to assure them everything is fine, and he left. "Are you ok love?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Not really. This is the second time he's come looking for me. He's the reason I cancelled yesterday, and forgive me I just wasn't in the best mood and I haven't been too jolly ever since. I'm sorry Lou." she came in for a hug and I was just happy I was the one comforting her.

She looked up wiping a tear away, " You know, Eman updated his fb and checked us in. I just can't believe Devin has the nerve to make a complete fool out of me without any explanation and come back again. It's ridiculous!"

We sat talking for an hour waiting for the boys to come out, she couldn't bear going back inside so I stayed out with her. To lighten up the mood I told her my fungi joke and she was balling laughter! It was great to see her eyes mold into a crescent shape and jolt her head back laughing histerically with both hands on her stomach. This was the best I've seen her. At school she was always isolated and hid her lovely smile, now it was out in the open.

****

The boys came out with Eman and they were all glad to see us together.

"We saved you some left overs boo bear," Harry gave me the box. It was still warm, "I caught up to our new pal and we both went on in, hope you don't mind the fact we ate with out you two."

"It's fine. Thank you pal!" I took the box.

"Well Eman let's go. Thank you Lou, and sorry guys. I didn't mean to storm out on all of you." she gave all of us a hug goodbye and disappeared with her friend. I watched her go then Liam said, "Well come on! We don't want to be sitting ducks out here let's go on home!"

Authors Note: How are my favorite readers doing? :) I'm not sorry for the cliff hanger, y'all needed a surprise and something to look forward to reading in the previous chapter. I hoped I answered your questions!

Here's something to think about, is Devin really in love or just toying with (y/n)?

Leave an opinion, or any personal thoughts :)

Sorry for the late update,.I got a couple more reads, thank you (:
