Liam looked me straight in the eye, I could see he was upset I looked away, because I felt so bad yet I didn't know what to do. I was heading into the school now when I felt something grab my arm, I darted round thinking it would be Liam, but to my surprise it was Louis. Louis has lovely blue eyes which were sparkling in the sunlight, his brown hair was pushed up into a quiff and it really suited him.
"Just because you and Liam broke up doesn't mean I don't want to be friends"
"Oh…I didn't think it like that but I thought you guys might have taken his side and I didn't want to be where I'm not wanted…"
"Why on earth would you think we wouldn't want you? We all love you. You made us One Direction for crying out loud I could never see you go"
A smile appeared across my face and I could feel myself blushing.
"Aw Louis you really think that? That has made my day thanks"
He pulled me into a tight hug; it felt nice to have a long hug. I defiantly needed one.
"It's alright Lauren and don't you ever think that we wouldn't be friends with you we all love you so much! Now we still on for tonight? I really want to pass this test"
"Yeah sure we are just come round straight afterschool, Sarah will be there because we are all studying for the same test so we might as well do it together rather than all separate if we do that I won't be able to come out"
"Smart thinking there beautiful, wait if that's the case do you mind if Niall comes too? He's in our class so we might as well do it as a 4, because Niall asked me for help but I'm going to you"
"Yeah sure tell Niall he can come along, I'll get mum to order a pizza, could be a long night"
"Sorry Lauren I know you're doing arrangements for later but can I meet you in tutor? I need to speak to Kyle" Sarah chipped in.
"Yeah sure Sarah I'll see you in tutor"
"Hey Louis do you mind walking me to my locker? I need to talk to you alone…" I asked.
"Yes I will I promised I was always there if you needed to talk, can we tell Niall about the arrangements first? So he doesn't get worried. If you want to stay here you can, I know you might not want to see Liam"
"No its okay I'll come I mean he was my best friend, then I can let Niall know what's going on"
"Okay let's go"
Louis took my arm and we walked over to the group, they were all there Niall, Zayn, Harry and Liam. My heart started thudding in my chest, I don't know why I was so nervous but I was I just need to put a smile on my face and talk like nothing happened.
"Hey guys" announced Louis as we approached them
"Hi everyone" I whispered.
"Hey!" everyone replied, but Liam who remained silent.
"Niall instead of us studying together tomorrow Lauren said me and you can go round hers with Sarah. Lauren said her mum will order a pizza or something up for it? Then we can all have a quick revision in study hall tomorrow before the test? Rather than our idea of a massive study in an hour let's face it Niall we'll end up failing it that way" explain Louis.
"Yeah that sounds better, and it's even better that it's at Lauren's I always feel comfortable round there because her parents don't care about anything and they're really nice ha-ha, sounds awesome what time?" Niall asked in his Irish accent.
"Straight afterschool we could all meet out here then walk back to mine? If we finish studying we can play on my tennis courts? Or go swimming in my pool or something?" I explained.
"Sound awesome Lauren oh do you remember in the summer when all of us, Sarah, Holly and Danni slept round yours for the night and we were messing around in the pool splashing water everywhere! And our water fight, food fight, roasting marshmallows all the surfing down the beach and when we played tennis drove go karts down your field took so many photos, oh Lauren I had the best summer ever" said Niall.
"I remember everything…" I said as my voice started to trail off. Again I could feel tears stinging my eyes; I wiped one away as Louis took me away.
"I'll talk to you later guys I need to talk to Lauren alone! See you in tutor!" Louis shouted back.
When we got in to the school building he pulled me into a tight hug as I started to cry on his shoulder. I always went to Liam for advice but if Liam was unavailable I would turn to Louis, looks like Louis would be my full time mentor now…
"Louis I don't know what to do!" I blurted out, whilst crying.
He took my by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes
"Lauren for me to help you, you have to tell me what's going on"
"Well when I woke up this morning I saw my screensaver which is me and Liam down the beach when we were 7 years old. And the fact that it was me and him on a beach reminded me of our promise we made when we were on the beach and we were 5. We promised we would remain best friends forever no matter what and we've had fall ours in our friendship but they have never been this bad. I can't even look at him without crying or feeling upset inside and I don't know what to do. I want to talk to him but what do I say? I don't know what to say and I don't want to lose him as a friend no way. We've been through everything and I cannot lose him now. I'm just so stuck I don't know what to do I need help!" I fell into Louis' arms and started crying like a baby.
"Lauren, Liam feels exactly the same way. He's messed up so bad and he still loves you. Now he didn't tell me to tell you to fix you guys back up because I'm not going to do that but he does want to be friends every time he looks at his phone it brings tears to his eyes. He told me about that promise and he wants to keep it he just doesn't know what to say to you because he's scared you'll shut him out. Now you don't have to answer but what is the reason you two broke up? You guys were infinite no-one could break you apart."
"Thanks Louis and well he was waiting in the park for me so we could go on a date and Slutty Sophie was sat there she was all over him and yeah I did see him trying to fight off, but I felt upset because recently he had been really busy and I thought he was off with this other girl and well that date was to prove it was all bullshit and then I saw that and lost it I went off crying he chased after we argued and then I went off again we started swearing at each other then it ended and I couldn't bring myself to say sorry but now I really want too"
"Liam never told us because it always made him cry…well thank-you Lauren very brave to tell me. Right Liam said he was going to talk to you at break don't ignore him try and sort things out? You said you wanted to keep the promise the same then here's the chance tell him how you feel try and work it out yeah? Let me know how it goes down as well?"
"Yeah I will thank-you Louis you're a really good friend, now can we go to my locker? I need to get some books for my next lessons"
"No problem my lockers practically next to yours, just one locker separates us maybe I should swap?" he winks at me and I smile.
"Yeah maybe you should ha-ha and yeah that's fine cause I'm sure you want to put your bag away?"
"Yeah I do so let's go"
I and Louis walked side by side to our lockers; I was thinking tutor is going to be awkward all of them are in my tutor. They are all going to wonder why I wanted to talk to Louis, why me and Liam broke up; ugh I wish people would mind their own business for fucks sake. When I finally got to my locker I put in the combination and opened my locker. A note fell down. It read
Meet me at the fountain in the middle of school at break, be as fast as you can I desperately need to talk to you, it's really important. From Liam x
Should I go? Is it that important? Or is he making it up? The bell went. Something grabbed my shoulder I turned around and they covered my mouth.
