Escape His World (H.S 1D)

Chapter 6: Ummmm... Louis?

Authors note: ok guys. So in this chapter, in real life, louis is STRAIGHT! I don't want people to think I support Larry. The mention of Louis being gay in this story is PURELY FICTIONAL!
Thanks guys!

Angela's POV
Louis looked very nervous. His normal lighthearted attitude was nonexistent. All I could see was anxiety. As I ordered I saw him fidgeting with something under the table. As the waitress left, she gave Louis a flirtatious wink and the scary thing was, I didn't feel any jealousy.
"Angela, we need to talk." I nodded slightly, urging him to keep going.
"I.... I think we should see other people, but it really isn't you.... It's just..... I don't play for your team." He stuttered. I wasn't really sure what he was getting at.... Seeing my confusion, Louis simply said, "I'm not straight. I mean, I thought I was, I really did, but I think all the feelings I had for you were just friendly..." I slowly nodded.
"Louis, no matter what, I will support you. So if you want to take this slow, then we will take it slow. In a friendly way. Friends?" I said. Louis was tearing up.
"Thanks Angie" Louis said. "I'd rather people not know for now, I just thought you should know"
I got up slowly and hugged him. "I love you Louis, but not in that way." I said, my mouth against his shoulder. "I love you too Angie."

Louis POV
I was RELIEVED! It felt so good to get it off my shoulders. Not only was she ok with it, she said she would support me no matter what. I don't know, I guess it just feels good to have someone who believes in my decisions. I really do love Angela, but as a friend. We walked out of the restaurant together, holding hands with her head on my shoulder.
"Thank you for telling me" she said quietly. "I'm glad that we trust each other that much"
"Me too Angela. I really am happy your there for me when I need you," I said, knowing every word was true.

Angela's POV
I'm so thankful Louis told me about this. Truly. Not only am I relieved that it's over and we are friends, I'm relieved that he knows he can trust me. The bond that we have now that we are just friends is 10x stronger than when we were in a relationship that could've ended quickly. I called Harry and asked him if he wanted to go to the library again since we didn't get to today. His answer warmed my heart.
"Angela, don't worry, I've already done all the research and I'll send you everything tomorrow. Ok?"
"Thank you so much Harry! Love you!" I gasped. It was just on instinct that I end phone calls with Louis that way...
"I...I'm sorry..." I apologized profusely.
"Angela.... Angela.... Angela!" Harry interrupted my apologizing
"Do you want to go out to a movie tomorrow?" He said quietly.

Authors note: ok, in real life Louis is definitely straight and I don't want people to be offended in any way. Thank you!
