Baby, I Loved You First (complete)

Chapter 5: Not Allowed

Months has passed and the next football event will happen tomorrow here.

After school, I went home to take a rest since my body is so tired.

I woke up at 7pm to eat dinner. I'm in my pajamas, and I went down to the living room.

"Louis. Louuu... Louis--"

I stopped walking and saw 6 boys, and Louis having drinks at the backyard while grilling.

I walked towards them and slide the door to open it.

"Oh, hello." I looked at them.

"Any occasion?" I ask them. "Tomorrow's the event, wanna celebrate with us?" Harry answers. "Oh, the football event... Then why are you drinking?" I ask them. "This isn't liquor." Louis says. "Tom!" I smile to him. "Hey," he smiles back. "Goody you're here! It's your first time here right?" "Not really, I came here before with them too. Mind if you'd tour me?" Tom says, jokingly. "Uhm, wait, come with me." I pulled his hand.

"Where are you bringing him?" Asks Louis. "Somewhere." I answer. "Come!" I pulled him again.

"Well, I guess your sister found love with Daley?" Liam says. "She did?" Louis asks and all of them laughed. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. I guess someone is jealous of--" Niall says.

Zayn looks at Niall who was beside him. Niall and Harry laughed.

"Zayn?" Louis asks. "Hey, no football player can date my sister." Says Louis. "Why is she not allowed to see a football player when you, her brother is a football player?" Liam asks Louis. "You know how football players work. I want my sister's life to be private. That's why I don't talk about her much. Remember when you only knew about her when she came here in London." Louis says. "See, Eleanor lost her privacy but I know she can handle it, we can, we're like celebrities, but in a different way?" Louis says. "I get Louis' point now." Liam says. "Our life is complicated, not like other athletes. I don't want Ava to be exposed much." Adds Louis. "Ava quickly falls in love so I guess you should move away from her or we'll send her back to Doncaster." Lou adds.

"We dated." Zayn says. "I know. But that's the last." Louis says.

Silence. Zayn frowns knowing he has no more chance with Ava.

Meanwhile..

"Here, so, here's our game room, my room and Louis' room, the library, ehh, no one uses that. My favorite room is the game room. Come."

We both went inside and I started to plug all the controllers.

"You're so awesome." Tom says, and I smile. "Of course I am."

We started playing, and playing and playing.

Until we got tired. So we went down again.

"Hi. We're back." I say. "Where did you both go?" Asks Louis. "Game room." I say. "I should have brought Zayn, let's go?" I look at him.

"Oh, uhm, I'm fine here. Thank you." Zayn says. "Go to bed now, A." Louis looks at me. "I wanna show Zayn--" "I'm fine. Go to sleep now, good night." Zayn says. "Okay. Good night. Bye guys." I smile to them.

The next day, evening, about 7PM, before the football game starts within minutes, me and Hatty went to the side to greet the boys.

"Hey! Good luck!" I say to them. "Thank you." Niall smiles at me. "Harry, Liam, good luck!" I hug him. "Thank you, A. We'll do great." Liam answers. "Thank you, A." Harry hugs me. "Lou, good luck." I smile to him. "Thank you." He pats my shoulder. Zayn standing at Lou's back, looking at us.

"Zayn." I walk towards him but Hatty hugs him. I stopped and looked everywhere and saw Niall looking at me. He smirks and I laughed at him. I walked towards Zayn, "Good luck." I smile to him. "Thank you." He says and walks away from me.

What? Wait.

Hatty pulls me away and back to the bleachers since the game will start.

I'm just bothered, Zayn is acting weird. Past games when me and Zayn had to talk for hours before they play, but now he's moving away from me.

"Ava, are you fine? You seem weak. Are you fine?" Danielle holds my arm. "I'm fine. I'm great." I smile.

Minutes after, I forgot everything and enjoyed watching the game. At the end, it's always our team who wins.

But instead of going down to congratulate them, I went out of the stadium and walked going home alone.

"Ava!" I saw Tom running towards me. But I continue walking until he catches me. "Saw the game?" Says Tom. "Yah, 'twas great." I nod and answer. "Why are you going home now? Aren't you going to have fun with them?" He asks me. "I don't think so. I'm tired so, I want to go home now." I say. "I'll come with you." Tom says.

"Tom, is something going on with Zayn?" I ask him. "Nothing. I don't know. Why?" "I don't know either. It's just... He's acting weird these days. I just don't get it... Why is he moving away from me? Did I do something wrong? Something offensive? Do I look bad now?" I say. "Oh, no. How would you do that and... How will..." "Is Zayn and Hatty dating?" I ask him.

"Why do you keep on asking that? About Zayn and Hatty?" "Because Hatty likes Zayn and I think that Zayn likes her too." I answer. "And why are you asking?" Asks Tom and holds my arm and we stopped walking.

"Because I like Zayn. Okay? I sound stupid, so childish. I like Zayn, I like him, but it only hurts me because I know he will never like me back, and he's dating a lot of girls and because he treats me like his sister and it hurts to think that he----"

Tom cuts my words by pressing his lips to mine and both of his hands on my face, slowly wiping my tears away.

I pushed him away and he walks a step away from me.

"I'm... I'm sorry." Tom says and I stand in shock. "What was that for..." I ask him. "I just want you to know that I feel how you feel for Zayn." Tom says. "You like him?!" I ask Tom in shock. "I like you, but I know... You're never gonna like me back." He says and scratches the back of his neck.

I smile to him and continued walking, maybe leaving him behind after that kiss.

I don't know what to tell him. He knows who I love.
