Where Wishes Can Run

Chapter 2

I knock on Louis door and wait patiently for him to answer. Almost instantly he opens the door and hugs me tightly.

"Now come in and tell me what's wrong."
 
We let go of each other and take a seat on his couch

"Harry broke up with me."

I had enough time driving to Louis house to calm myself down, so I was no longer crying.

"Oh love, I'm so sorry." He wrapped me into a hug once more.

"It's okay, I feel better than I did a few minutes ago, I don't need him."

"That's the attitude I like to see, fuck men."

I laugh, Louis can make me smile no matter how much it hurts to.

"I love you Lou, thanks for being there for me through everything."

"You know id do anything for you Anj."

"And I would do anything for you."

"Guess who baked cookies." Louis said with a grin

"They better be chocolate chip." He knows those are my favorite.

"What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't make chocolate chip?"

And for the rest of the afternoon I stayed with Louis. We talked, laughed, and ate a LOT of cookies. I went home feeling way better than I was earlier.

I quietly unlocked the front door so I wouldn't disturb anyone, and tiptoed up the stairs to my room. When in the comfort of my own walls, I put on some music and unlocked my phone. Of course Harry messaged me, there's no way I could get away that easily from him.

"Can we talk about today, call me when you get the chance."

If he thinks i'm going to call him after today, he's lost his damn mind. I don't even have the energy to text him back. I set my phone down and lay in my bed with my music quietly playing. At some point I drift off to sleep, where I dream of Colby, like most nights. I know falling in love with your best friend is the biggest cliche there is, but how could I not. He's not only extremely attractive, but probably the sweetest person i've ever met. Every time i'm with him, a smile never leaves my face. Even today, he stopped what could have been more of a disaster than it already was, and I didn't even thank him. Although I know he doesn't feel the same way, I often think of what it would be like to date him.
