Sunny and Louis have been best friends for a while now. They do everything together. But that was until Louis dated Toni. Sunny didn't really care; what mattered most to her was their friendship.
What if something else mattered more? What else can...
I'm lying on my bed and it's 5 in the morning when suddenly Aunt Julie knocks at my door with a huge smile on her face.
"You have a visitor."
"It's five in the morning."
"And you have a visitor."
I jump up from my bed and followed Aunt Julie to the front door with Louis.
"L-Louis?"
"Will you come with me?"
I was probably ninety percent sure and ten percent of feeling nervous.
That early morning breeze of London flew through my hair as I got in Louis' car.
He hands me a handkerchief. "Can you wear this?"
"Why?"
"Please." He begged.
"Fine..."
I felt how interminable we were going. It must be far wherever he is taking me.
I hear the engine stop. We're obviously here. So I go down, blindfolded as Louis escorted my way out.
He walks me slowly and I was shaking. Who knows? What if I'm at the edge of a plank, about to be pushed into a pool of sharks. Ok, I'm over exaggerating.
I felt Louis' hands, loosing up my blindfold and I was mesmerized by my surroundings.
Louis, as sweet as he is, brought me to a whole field of dandelions.
He grabs my hand turns my face to his.
"I'm sorry." He sighs
"You don't need to be."
"I know about Toni, what she's been going through, I mean."
"Her dad's an idiot. Why does it have to be someone close to our age?" He says in a rush like it's a relief to him to finally say those words out loud to me.
"I know she can be manipulative―I've always felt like I should protect her. In some ways, it's easier for me to just do what I feel. But I guess I was just scared."
"Of what?"
"Of losing you." Louis looks away. "I know that should've told you but it was too private and I wasn't in that position to say it."
It was that moment when I realized that it wasn't Louis who needed to get over Toni, it was me. I needed to step out of the fact that she was my boyfriend's ex.
I've been comparing myself to her without me, actually admitting it. It was me who didn't give us a chance.
Suddenly I speak, "I wish everything was back to the way it was. You and I would have fun together. That would be the sweetest thing. The sweetest romance that I know would never be forgotten."
He leans in kisses me softly, gently as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I pull away and press my forehead to his.
"Also, I know we weren't fake anymore after that night in Big Ben."
"How did you know?" He gasps.
I caress his cheek with my hand. "Oh, of course, I know."
I paused. "Hey, come to think of it. We were best friends who started fake dating then..."
"We were real." Louis begins.
"Sure, there were a ton of ups and downs." He adds.
"And yet here we are now." I continue.
I smile and Louis smiled back. I look at his face and tell myself constantly, "Out of all the boys. You, Louis Partridge."
"I love you, Sunny."
"I love you, Louis."
And there I was kissing the only boy I've ever fallen in love with in front of a beautiful field of dandelions.
Looks like I'm back in the picture. Except for this time, we're making our own where there's space for everyone. Actually, we're not taking a photo yet. We're still getting ready for the actual one.
We're still in the beginning. You didn't think this was the end, did you?
