He's Not Just A Friend(Nouis fanfic AU)

Chapter 18

Louis's POV

After Louis got home

I just remembered that finals were tomorrow and I had to study. I didn't like the fact I entered a school with three months left, now I have to take finals. Luckily, I knew everything that was on the study guide already. I didn't really need to study I guess.

I lay down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I thought about what would happen when Niall gets here. Who would try to get in between us? I mean, I know Nathan, being the asshole that he is, would try and just break us up for his own amusement. He would want nothing to do with us after we break up.

I thought for hours. For a plan, so Nathan wouldn't bother us. Maybe I can tell him we broke up? No, Louis that's stupid. He'll know I'm lying. He basically knows everything about me anyway. Maybe I'll have to break up with Niall.

That second, Austin barged into my room, "Hey idiot, you left the front door open. Try to be more careful next time."

I chuckled and patted the spot next to me. He squated in front of me instead. I looked at him confused.

"You look like you've been crying or something." He grabbed my chin and held it in a firm grip.

I must've not realized I was crying to the thought of having to break up with Niall. I rubbed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'm completely fine. Don't worry about me okay?" I pleaded.

"No, Louis. Tell me what's wrong," he stood up putting his hands on my shoulders.

I looked up at him through watery eyes. My vision was blurred. "I might have to break up with my boyfriend." He looked at me wide-eyed.

He pulled me into his arms as I sobbed. I didn't want to do this to Niall, but it felt as if the only way I could protect him. I just didn't know what else to do. I couldn't just drop him without a reason and I can't tell him about Nathan because he won't believe me. Maybe I should just sleep on it.

"Austin, I might just sleep now, so if you can lock the door. There's a key on the door frame. Let yourself out." I said firmly. He nodded and walked out of my room. I thought that I would be okay alone, but it made me feel so empty.

Don't do it Louis. I thought to myself, but it felt so distant from everyone. I felt like I was pushing everyone who loved me away. I rushed to the bathroom and opened the drawer. I picked up my blade that I taped to the bottom of the drawer and held it down to my wrist. I just held it down. I did nothing else. I stared at it. Then I walked over to the toilet. I dropped the blade in the bowl and flushed it down. I felt immense pride when I saw that it was gone. I knew Niall would be proud, especially when I tell him that i did that for him.

I picked my phone up. Then I received a DM from Niall.

From: @NiallOfficial

"Louis! The lads and I are here in LA! What's your address? We'll be on our way soon."

I shook. Does this mean i'll have to break up with him tonight? Fear overtook my body and I became paralyzed. I didn't think I would be this terrified. Not that I'm saying I wasn't terrified to begin with.

I just told him that I was excited and I gave him the address. How would I even tell him? I lay down and stared at my white ceiling hoping I would think of something.

Niall's POV

Harry, Liam and I walked over to the luggage pick-up and grabbed our bags and made our way through the airport and did whatever else to prepare ourselves before we got to Louis's house. We got a taxi and gave him the address.

We soon arrived at a slightly large house and I sighed with a smile on my face. I'm actually going to see Louis after what seems like, forever. I felt like nothing could stop me from being with him right now. I know we were early and we probably caught him off guard, but it's better to be early and surprise than to not come at all and disappoint.

We all grabbed our stuff and I knocked on the door. I heard someone rush down the stairs and grab the doorknob. Soon the door swung open and I saw a familiar brunette boy. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I did the same. The smile on his face quickly turned into a faint frown.

"What's wrong babe?" I cupped his face in my hands.

He dodged my question, "I'll get your bags okay? Go rest or something."

I walked upstairs and tried to find Louis's room. I found a room with an abundance of posters so I assumed it was Louis's. I sat on his bed and admired how organized he was.

The door opened. Louis entered the room and jumped when he saw me on his bed. He pressed his body against the door and sighed loudly.

"Niall I have something to tell-" He couldn't finish due to Harry pushing the door open and Louis falling over.

"Oh sorry mate," Harry apologized. Louis nodded and stood back up.

I asked Harry what he needed and he responded with, "I forgot," and walked out.

"Okay,Louis?" He looked up at me, "What did you need to tell me?"

He looked down at his fingers and tugged at them, distracting himself. The sun was setting and it made the lightning very dramatic. The white walls were being filled with a slight orange color as the sun went down further. The window was open and there was a slight breeze flowing into the room.

"Well,it's a long story really," he refused to look at me.

I grabbed his chin so he was looking at me, "It's okay Louis. If you have a secret, you can tell me. I won't judge you for any idea or thought you have. I'm here for you."

He stared into my eyes for a rough 3 minutes. I didn't want to force it out of him at all. I wanted to give him his time, but I wanted to know immediately.

"Niall," he said, speaking up.

"Yes Louis? Are you finally gonna tell me?" I gave him a reassuring grin.

He nodded and said words that pierced into my heart, "Niall, I'm breaking up with you. I hope you understand after I explain everything. I'm sorry."

I ran out of his room without a word and stormed out of the house. Not stopping and not knowing where I was going. I just kept walking and never stopped.
