Gotta Be You (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Do You Love Me?

Louis hadn’t called. He hadn’t texted. There had been no contact with him for the past few days, but Callie had been talking to Jacob nonstop. He was such a good gay best friend. Catching up with Jacob was so easy, and Callie really missed talking to him. It was really funny the first time that Callie saw Jacob, she was with Louis and Piper was on his lap. Jacob immediately assumed that they were married with a baby, and Callie thought that was really funny. She replied, “Married? To Louis? And have a baby?” Louis was weird for the rest of the night, so Callie just hung out with Jacob. She was miserable without Louis though. Piper was miserable without him also. It was terrible, something was really off. No matter how Jacob tried to cheer her up, nothing was working. Callie hadn’t seen Louis in 3 days, longer than anytime beforehand.  Callie was playing with Piper in the living room, and the boys were over, all the boys except Louis. The girls occupied themselves with their guy. Harry came into the room, “Callie, I want you to know that Louis needs me to tell you to meet him at the park.”

“Like now?”

“Yeah, put Piper in the stroller and take her.”

“Alright? What’s wrong with him? Is he sick or something?”

“No. He’s healthy. He just needs to talk to you.”

“Ok?” Harry looked at her, disappointed. Without saying a word, Callie put Piper in her stroller, and went out to meet Louis. He was sitting on the swing looking at the ground. Normally he would be swinging as high as he could go. Something was wrong. Leaving the stroller on the sidewalk, Callie picked up Piper and set her in the baby swing. She pushed lightly, and waited for Louis to say something. He didn’t. There was silence so long that Callie felt like she had been pushing Piper in the swing for hours. Fed up with his silence, Callie said, “Louis. Look at me.” His head was still facing the ground.

“LOUIS!”

“Do you love me?”

“What?”

“Do you love me?”

“Um.. I’m not in love with you.”

“I love you.”

“Louis.”

“But you don’t love me back. You love Jacob.”

“I love Jacob as a friend.”

“So you don’t even love me as a friend?”

“Yes Louis. Yes Louis.” She said urgently.

“Do you not love me as in love. Like marriage and having a baby.”

“I never thought that you would be interested in me.”

“I’ve taken you on dates. I’ve kissed you! Do you not think that I would like you?”

“I thought you were too perfect. Now why would you think I loved Jacob?”

“Dosen’t matter anymore I have my answer.”

“What answer? What? Louis. Talk to me. You have been really weird lately, and I’m getting sick of it!”

“You’re getting sick of it? I feel sick. I feel sick every time I see you?”

“Why would you feel sick?”

“Could you be any more blonde?”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Callie! I am in love with you!”

“Why? I think you’re crazy.”

“Yeah, I’m crazy in love with you!” taking a deep breath he muttered out the words, “But you’re not in love with me.” He sat up, his eyes wet with tears, and he walked away from Callie and Piper. Callie stood behind Piper stunned. Seeing Louis leave, piper started screaming. Callie picker her from the swing and tried to sooth her. But Piper kept screaming. Callie called out to Louis who was at the edge of the large park. “LOUIS! Come here! She won’t stop. You can normally stop her crying! Louis!!!”
