My Secret Heart

Chapter 14

MAGGIE'S POV:

Then next day came around and I couldn't believe all this. Niall was already my boyfriend. I had no idea what I would say to Louis. Maybe I could just ignore him. No, I couldn't ignore him for the rest of my life.

I was supposed to be meeting Louis in twenty minutes at Benji's Burgers. I knew exactly why we were going there and I was so frightened at what he would do when I told him about me and Niall.

I arrived at the restraint and he was sitting at a table for two. I walked over smiling a faint smile, while he stood up to give me a massive hug and then we both sat down.

"How has your day been so far?" he asked

"Pretty good, so far" I told him. I was so scared. My hands were shaking and I couldn't talk straight.

"So, I invited you to come here so I could ask you something" he started talking but I cut him off.

"I know why you wanted me here, and what you are going to ask me. And Louis I'm really sorry.." I looked down at my hands, "I already have a boyfriend" I told him softly, hoping he didn't hear me.

"Yo...you do?" he said shocked and he looked kind of hurt.

"I do.. Its... Niall" I looked back up at him. His face turned red from anger, I had no idea what to expect to happen next.

"Sense when have you and Niall been together?" he asked calmly but I could tell he was filling up with anger and he looked so broken.

"Sense yesterday" I looked back down at my hands. He didn't reply for quite some time, "Are you mad?" I asked hoping he wouldn't be.

"Of course I'm mad! I asked you to be my girlfriend before he did! You never gave me a answer and then you turn around and you accept to be Niall's girlfriend! How could you?!" he started yelling at me..

"Louis you have to understand... I don't like you in that kind of way" I told him as I raised my voice.

"Why not? Am I not as good as Niall?! I've known you my whole life, and you choose Niall over me!?" He started shouting at me.

"Louis you're just my best friend! I don't think of you in that kind of way! Why are you getting so mad?" I was starting to get frustrated with him. Why couldn't he just understand he was just my friend, and nothing more!

"I wouldn't be so mad if you would have told me you didn't want to be together!" I could see tears starting to fill his eyes as well I could feel mine forming up. "I was thinking we were actually going to become something more than friends! You don't even tell me a answer and turn around and accept another guy! Real mature" he said with anger in his voice and tears clogging his eyes. Why couldn't he just be happy with just being friends, it's been that way for more than many years.

At the words he was yelling towards me and my tears started running down my face, "We are just friends! Deal with us being nothing more than friends, or just drop our friendship, Louis!" I yelled at him my mascara was smearing everywhere and people were starting to stare.

"Fine then I guess we are no longer friends!" He yelled at me.

At those words my heart shattered into a million pieces. I couldn't believe he just said that. He wanted a relationship so bad, he was just willing to drop our friendship. All we ever had, everything, he was just throwing it all away.

My tears increased and I began sobbing, as I looked my best friend one last time in the eyes "If that's what you want then fine, goodbye Louis!!" I ran out the restraint, my tears blurring my vision. I ran down the street, all the people driving by watching me.

I ran for quit a long ways, till I came to a little shop that had a tiny alley way. I stopped there and sat down and cried for what seemed like hours.

I couldn't believe this, he was throwing away our friendship. I was losing my best friend. The only one I shared all my memories with, the only one that made me happy, the only one who was there for me when I needed someone. I was losing him for good, all because he wanted a relationship. It made me feel so worthless and I felt like just dying right there and then.

I cried so much I couldn't even cry any more tears. I sat there with my arms cradling my knees and my head buried deep inside. I was shaking so bad, I couldn't control myself anymore.

I felt a hand touch my shoulder, I jumped, I had no idea who it could be. I looked up slowly and squinted my eyes to see through the tears.

"Maggie! It is you! Oh my gosh, what happened?!" he leaned down to me and wrapped his arms around me. I could tell by his voice it was Liam. I started crying more. Liam was in Louis place. Louis was always the one who was there for me trying to calm me down, but instead it was now Liam.

"Shhh it's alright" Liam said rubbing my back as he kissed my hair.

After I started to calm down, he asked me "Now, care to tell me what's wrong?" he asked in a voice that was so calming.

"L..louis" I managed to get out.

"Louis?" he asked surprised. "What about him?"

"He..he told me he didn't want to be friends anymore" I briefed it up. I started crying again. I hated to hear myself say that, and to think that's really what Louis said, and that he wanted it that way.

He started cradling me again as I sobbed into his chest.

"Don't worry.. Lets go home for now and get you all cleaned up." He told me as he helped me manage to stand up on my feet and walk to the car.

He took me to my house, and dropped me off. He was about to leave when I stopped him.

"Liam..umm will you stay here with me?" I asked. I didn't want to be alone. I needed someone to be with.

"Sure thing love" he kissed my forehead and walked in to the couch and sat down, patting the space by him.

He asked for the full story of what all happened at the restraint, and I told him everything.

He assured me everything would be ok. But I knew it wouldn't. I felt so happy with Liam, it was like he was another Louis. He was here for me, when I needed him.
