Louis POV

"Well that was fun, we should all hang out again sometime huh?"

"Yeah we really should"

Blue and hazel meet. I can't believe I almost lost myself back there. I feel like a complete idiot, I'm not that kind of person to just do something so easy but regretful. Why would even try to do something like that? And out of people, why Justin?

I finally pull up into the parking lot of our apartment complex. I put the car in park and turn off the engine.

"Alright lads, we're home"

"Finally, I've been wanting to use the toilet for a while now!"

Niall steps out, closing my car door before running towards the building. Liam and I stepped out, locking my car as we slowly follow behind with a few grocery bags. I run my finger through my hair, a few snowflakes falling from the sky still. Blue and hazel meet. Fuck man, what's happening?!

"Are you alright Lou?" asked Liam, cocking an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine"

He steps in front of me, stopping me before looking at me. He furrows his eyebrows, shaking his head and shrugging before questioning me.

"What just happened back there? Did something happen between you and Justin?"

I felt myself holding in my breath. I can't have him know, I can't let anyone know. I snorted, shrugging as I brush past him to avoid any eye contact with him. I don't want him to know that I'm lying or anything.

"Ha nothing happened, everything is fine"

"Then why do you look as if you have a lot on your mind? You seem like you're overthinking something"

"I always have things on my mind Li. You know that"

"Yeah but not as much as you do recently" he said, walking beside me.

"Well I'm going through a lot, you know that"

"I know, I'm just wondering that's all"

Liam walks past me as he begins to take a few steps on the stairs. I stop and stare at the staircase, my memory once again taking over my mind.

* FLASHBACK *

I gulped, taking my first step up the stairs. After two or three more steps, I felt myself losing balance, about to fall back. I tilted back until I felt a pair of arms catch me in time. It was Justin.
