Before I start the story, I would like to say thank you to all of my subscribers for helping me reach my goal. I love writing, and since I first shared my very first imagine with you guys last September, you've supported me all the way. Thank you for that, and here's the video you've all asked for since chapter three of this story. I love you guys, and here's to chapter four.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Each morning, since we left the hospital, Louis had helped me with everything, and he's helped me regain a lot of my memory. He's been a good housemate, as far as an amazing boyfriend, and he's loved me unconditionally.
When I get sad, sometimes he'll go out to Starbucks and buy me my favourite drink, pick up a couple of movies, and lay with me the rest of the day. He stopped going on tour for a while, as he's been home with me, and he's loved me every single day since.
I shouldn't feel this way, but I see myself falling out of love with this boy. I know it's wrong, but I don't see myself loving him in the same way again. He's an amazing best friend, but I'm afraid that that's all he'll ever be. And I figure that I need to tell him that.
While he was out with the boys, I cleaned the house a little, made his favourite meal, placed flowers throughout the house and lit a few candles to freshen the place up. I thought that when he arrived home, it'd ease away the tension that was bound to grow between us.
And as much as I wanted to be with him, I couldn't. I couldn't look at him and think of how sweet he was, but how much I wished another girl could have him. I didn't want to see him as just a best friend, but I couldn't help what I felt. It was what it was. And I needed to let him know.
So, when that boy in the striped shirt and coloured trousers walked into our house, I took him by the hand and led him to our table. "What's this for?"
"I just wanted to make your favourite meal, Lou," I said, handing him a plate. And the rest of our dinner together was silent. I tried finding things to say to him, about anything, but I couldn't find the proper thing to say, so I decided on ending things right then.
"Lou, I have to tell you something..."
"What is it, Princess Stripes?" I smiled, but it didn't feel real.
"I think... I think we need to be just friends now..." And as soon as I saw the look on his face, I instantly regretted saying that. I instantly felt like I had just told a child that the Tooth Fairy isn't real, and I felt like I had done something that will never ever be fixed.
"What... Why," he asks, dropping his fork.
"I don't see you as anything more than a best friend anymore. I'm so sorry." I could see the tears welling up in his eyes, and I could tell he was trying to keep his calm. I could tell he was searching for something to say that would hopefully make me change my mind. But I was certain that if I couldn't change my own mind, he wouldn't be able to either.
"Babe, we can always work things out... Is it me?"
"Lou, I'm just not into you anymore. Living with you has been great, and you have helped me more than you'll ever know, I just can't feel for you that way anymore. I wish I could, but I simply don't..."
He looked to his plate, but before pushing his chair back angrily and slamming the bedroom door behind him, he looked at me, and as the one single tear rolled down his cheek, my heart broke into a million pieces.
I've never loved someone the way Louis' loved me, and I can't imagine how it must feel. But frankly, I couldn't stay with him out of sparing his own happiness and feeling anymore, and I thought he'd understand.
I walked to the door carefully, quietly, and I knocked gently. But he wouldn't answer. I tried turning the knob, but it was locked. I pinched the bridge of my nose and tried to think of something to do... Anything. But unfortunately, I couldn't think. So, I did what I thought was right.
I called Harry.
