Last Christmas Louis Hynes x Reader

Chapter Five

Y/n's P.O.V.

I knew I shouldn't have let it bother me that Louis was kissing Kitana, but deep inside, I felt hurt. I had a crush on Louis ever since I met him, and I still had feelings for him even though I was dating somebody else. But, I was too much of a coward to admit my feelings for him. Because I was scared he was going to reject me and quit being my friend. I gave the hot cocoa to Malina and Dylan and I sat down on the couch and stared down at my blank phone screen.

"Y/n," A voice said. I looked up, and I saw Louis was staring at me, with a little amount of regret in his eyes. I looked back down at my phone and scrolled through Instagram, giving him the silent treatment. "Y/n," he called out again. I continued to look down at the screen. He sighed and sat down on one of the sofas. "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom," I said, standing up from the couch again. I walked past Louis, and I locked myself in the bathroom, and the lump in my throat became unstuck, and I let out a small sob into my hands. I was hoping to find true love this Christmas after getting my heart broken last year, but now I experienced it again.

At this point, I didn't care about the party. I just wanted to go home. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone and dialed my mum's number. The phone started trilling, and I started to grow worried that she wouldn't answer. But then after the third ring, she picked up. "Hey sweetheart, how's the party going?" she asked. I tried to sound like I was in a cheery mood, but it was hard after seeing the image of Kitana and Louis kissing appeared in my head again.

"Mum, can you come get me?" I asked as I choked back a sob. "Sweetheart, what's wrong?" I went on to tell her about what happened, and she tried to calm me down. "Are you sure you want me to pick you up? I don't want you to miss the rest of the party. Did you do Secret Santa yet?" "No, all we've done so far is sing Christmas carols," I answered, wiping away a few tears that were slowly falling down my face.

Then, I heard a soft knock at the door, and I started to worry that whoever it was, heard the conversation with my mum. "I'll call you back," I said to her before hanging up the phone and opening the door. To my surprise, I saw that it was Malina, and she looked genuinely concerned about me. "Oh, it's you. For a moment, I thought it was Louis," I sighed with relief. "Can I come in?" She asked. I opened the door enough for her to come in, and I sat down next to her on the edge of the bathtub.

"You haven't been acting like yourself since you asked if anybody wanted more hot cocoa. Did something happen?" She asked. Malina was the closest friend I had besides Louis. And the perfect person to talk to about problems that would be impossible to talk about with a guy. "It's nothing," I lied. Malina gently rubbed my back, and I felt tears continue to pour down my face. "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But remember, I'm your friend, and I would never judge you for anything," Malina reassured as she continued to rub my back.

Should I? What if she has feelings for him as well? Louis was one of the biggest actors on Asoue, and so many girls fell hard for him. I wouldn't be surprised if Malina had feelings for him, even though it would be awkward because they played brother and sister. I took a deep breath and silently decided to tell her what was wrong. "I-I saw Louis and Kitana kissing in the sitting room. I know I shouldn't let it bother me, considering we're not even a couple, but it's hard, you know?" I said, trying my best to keep my composure.

"Oh, Y/n, it's okay. Don't get angry with me, but do you like him?" she asked. I dabbed my eyes with a small sheet of toilet paper and looked back at her.

"Yeah, I like him. Not just as a friend, but something more,"
