The story

The Arcade

Joel and the guys just arrived to the arcade. He decided to send you a message just to see if you made your mind up yet. You were at the cafe inside the arcade. You were sitting down with only Louis. The rest of the gang went to go play games.
"I'm gonna miss this." Louis said with his hands wrapped around his drink.
"Miss what Louis?" You asked
"Us," he paused for a bit and looked at his drink "We can't really have our talks anymore or even hang out alone."
You leaned back in your chair "We are hanging out now and we are alone."
"I know, but it's not gonna be the same after this. You were-" he stopped himself. You were trying to figure out what he meant. You've always liked Louis too and he's so sweet, but now that you have a boyfriend...you don't really have the same love for him as you did before. He's still very special to you.
"You were like my best friend, I loved going to the mall with you and sitting in the food court just talking about anything." His voice sounded tired.
"I'm sorry, to be honest, I'm gonna miss it too. We can still hang out and you're always gonna be special to me." You got distracted by a few guys walking by the cafe you were in. All you saw was curly black hair, blonde hair and a buzz cut haircut. You thought to yourself wow, I really like that curly hair.
Your focus went back to Louis.
"Thanks, it's ok. It's not like I'm upset about it, I'm happy for you either way just remember that you always have me for anything." He smiled at you but it was a weak smile. The guys that you saw walked into the cafe. You ignored them because you didn't care too look. They walked right by you and Louis.
"May I ask you something?" You said as you smelt the nice cologne of one of the guys that just passed by.
"Anything." Louis said. He sat up straight giving you all his attention.
You hesitated for a bit, because the question you were about to ask him was crazy for you to even ask.
You took a deep breath and asked as you exhaled "Do you-" you took another deep breath and exhaled again. You looked into his blue eyes and realized that it was too hard to ask. So instead, Louis finished for you.
"Do I have feelings for you?" He asked your question. You were shocked.

"Um, yeah...." You said shyly.

"Yeah." He said it so easy. So proud. Which left you in shock. All you could say was "I'm sorry."

"Don't be, it was my decision to love you."
It hurt you, you felt like you were getting shot. You were sad that you probably broke his heart. You were so embarrassed now. You had to leave.
"Louis, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I'll be back." You got up trying to turn your face away so that he wouldn't see your teary eyes. He watched you leave but didn't see your face. He sat there alone just listening to the conversation Joel, Zabdiel, and Erick were having. They were in line ordering.

"I'll just get the regular instead." Joel told the cashier. Louis saw him pat his pockets looking for something.
"Dang it," Joel looked at the cashier "I forgot my wallet. I left it in my luggage."
"Oh wow Joel, thanks a lot." Erick said.
"I'm gonna starve to death." Zabdiel said throwing his head back and looking at the ceiling.
"Can you like put it on a tab or something? We just landed from LA, I live here I promise I'll pay when I have the money."

"Just sing her a song bro." Erick mentioned
"Do you want a song?" He asked shrugging and putting his arms out in an asking gesture "I can sing you a song."

"Sorry we can't put anything on a ta-" she got interrupted

"I'll pay for it." Louis handed the cashier his credit card.
"No." Joel said surprised
"No it's ok, I don't mind." Louis said giving him a smile
"No, you're louis from one direction!" Joel said so excited "I'm Joel." He put his hand out to shake.
"What? So nice to meet you" Erick said giving him a handshake and then a hug.
"Nice meeting you too." He smiled and hugged all of them.
"It's so cool to meet you because you inspire us to make music because we have a band too." Zabdiel said, then Joel took over "yeah, we all look up to you guys. We're in a band called CNCO. The two other band members are coming tomorrow. Can't wait to tell them that Louis Tomlinson paid for our food."
