Secrets

Chapter 40

I'm happy that Niall talked me into talking to Louis. I knew that I would. I didn't know when I was going to though. I mean I love him. I honestly don't even know how much longer I could go without talking to him. I miss him. I never knew I could miss someone so much. Niall and I started talking till our food came. When we were done I paid for our food. I mean he's done so much for me the past couple days. I feel like I needed to. He didn't like the fact that I did that but oh well.

We walked out to his car before getting in. He started driving as I told him where Louis' house was. He didn't seem upset about any of this. I'm glad that he's not. I know he wasn't exactly happy about Louis and I being together at first. I'm glad that he got used to it. I honestly don't even know what I would do if he didn't. He pulled up in front of Louis' house. I noticed that his car was here. I hugged Niall, "Thank you so much for everything."

"It's no problem. That's what best friends are for."

"Really, thank you."

He smiled, "It's no problem, you don't have to keep thanking me."

"I know. We shouldn't go so long without hanging out again."

"I think that too. Just fix everything with him right now before you start thinking about that."

I nodded before saying bye to him. I grabbed my bag, getting out of his car. I walked up to Louis' front door, knocking. It feels weird knocking. Normally I come here with him and we just walk in. He opened the door and he looked relieved. He looks like a mess. I feel horrible about this. I know I'm here to fix this though. I do love him and want to be with him.  I walked in as he mumbled, "You didn't have to knock. You could have just walked in."

"I didn't know."

"I still love you. What's mine is yours too."

I smiled, "We still need to talk."

"I know."

He took my bag, setting it down for me. I followed him in to his living room as I sat down by him. I felt him move some of my hair, "You look so beautiful today."

"That's the only good thing about me today. I've felt horrible since yesterday."

"So have I. It hurt so much seeing you leave like that. I just wanted to explain everything to you. I love you. I just wanted to make things right."

"Well let's make things right now."

He nodded, "I know. I plan on it."

"Why was she here? I thought you said she was going to stay away."

"I thought that she was. I don't want her around me. I know it makes you upset. I've been ignoring her. She's always trying to talk to me."

I shook my head, "Why?"

"Before I saw you I took her on a couple dates. It was really nothing. I never did anything with her. I never even kissed her. I don't get why she keeps trying to come around. I think after yesterday she got the message since she hasn't texted or called me."

I'm glad that he's telling me. I don't like that they went on a couple dates but it makes me feel better that they haven't done anything and he hasn't gone out with her since he saw me. I wonder what he means about that. I asked, "What did you mean before you saw me?"

He smiled a little, "Well when I saw you on the first day of school when you walked into my class, I liked you. You're so different from the other girls. They were basically throwing themselves at me. You didn't. I guess that I liked that. After that I didn't go on another date with Lauren. I'm glad that I didn't. I'm glad I went on a date with you instead."
