~ Velvet Lips And The Eyes To Pull Me In - We Both Know You'd Already Win. ~

Chapter 8.

My life had never been this complicated before. And now that I admit it, I think that I have feelings for Niall and Louis. I feel like breaking down. Louis has been my best friend since I was little and to all of a sudden find some attraction in me was obsured. Although when we were stood there, in the rain, his hands on my waist, and the way he looked at me, made me go weak in the knees.
What am I saying? It was the same way Niall looked at me, it was the way Niall kissed me, soft and meaningful.

Niall grabbed me by the hand and walked me home, but all the way back, I couldn't concentrate, all that was on my mind was Louis. The hardest thing was, thinking about it, I had a choice between him and Niall.

As soon as Niall had disapeared from clear view of my house, I put my coat back on and ran to Louis', we needed to talk.
I knocked on his door and shuffled back down the steps.
" hello? " Louis said before slowly opening the door.
" ermm Louis? It's me, Frankie.." I said quite sheepishly.
" Oh, hi there! " He screeched, whilst flinging his arms around me.
" Louis! Come on now, we need to talk .." He spun me around and guided me into his living room.

" Do go on.. " He said in a rather posh accent.
" Well, first things first, I'm so confused and I need you to be honest with me now.. what happened last night? "
" Don't you remember? Well anyway... - " He went on until it got to the bit I was most interested in.
" - then I walked with you up to the bedroom and - " I gave him a concerned look. He placed his hand on my shoulder.
" let me finish... - and you were freezing, so I slipped my jumper over you and tucked you into bed, I lay down next to you until you fell asleep and then went back down to the party. "

I sighed in relief, I wrapped my arms around him and whispered " thankyou " into his ear. All of a sudden I broke down into tears.
" Louis, I need to go .. I - " He cut me off and took me to the door.
" I'll see you tomorrow ok? " He wiped a tear from cheek.
" ok .. " I sniffled and walked out onto the steps.
" Night Frankie .." He said while closing the door behind me.
As I walked home, I realised why I was so upset. The reason being that there was two boys, I repeat, two boys that cared about me so much. Which meant that I had a choice between them. I couldn't bare it, I didn't want to hurt either of them.

- Monday morning -

I didn't even want to go to school today, the thought of it made me feel physically sick. The hardest thing was having to face Niall and Louis again. I finished getting ready and slipped on my shoes and wrapped a thick grey scarf around my neck, it was getting colder. I set off extra early today so that I could avoid any social contact. When I got to form room, I sat at the very back. I was the first one in so I put my bag underneath the desk and slouched down in my chair, trying not to be noticed. Turns out, when you don't speak at all, you become the most noticable person in the room. Everybody suddenly becomes your best friend, simply because they all want to know whats up with you ...
My eyes were fixed on the ground, yet everybody elses eyes were fixed on me. The feeling was suffocating, so I threw my bag back onto my shoulder and ran out of the room. Stumbling into the main hall, I went and sat on a chair in front of the stage. No one was supposed to really go in there during form time, but I always used to. I sat there in silence for twenty seven minutes, right up until the bell rang for first lessons. A tear rolling down my cheek, I tilted my head forward and rushed through the corridors and into my maths class.
Again, I slid into yet another chair, minding my own bussiness entirely, when the new girl walked in. She had mid-length dark brown hair and green eyes. She wasn't the tallest of the bunch but that didn't really matter. She flung her bag underneath my desk and sat on the chair next to me.
" Hi! My names Georgia! " She said extremely cheerfully.
" Frankie.." I whispered under my breath, I was in no mood for conversation, and she noticed.
" Are you ok? "
" Um yes, yes I am.. " I cracked a smile and dabbed my eyes with a tissue.
" Good! " She smiled back, and that was all it took to make me feel better, a fresh new smile.
We walked to the next lesson together, slowly followed by Lydia, Amy, Arrianne and Debby. It was nice, you know, just us girls. Quickly I realised that I was working myself up and everytime I'd catch Niall or Louis looking at me from the corner of my eye, I just forgot about it.

My next lesson was Geography. Niall sat on the oposite side of the classroom and Louis sat next to me. But I didn't worry, I knew that if I did, I'd just end up in tears again.
All us girls walked in together, I took a deep breath and trotted over to Louis, sat down and opened my textbook. I could feel him looking at me, but I just shrugged it off and got to work. Five minutes into the lesson and I already felt uncomfortable so I swung round to find where Georgia was sat. To my suprise, she was sat over in the corner, next to Niall. They were laughing, play fighting and most of all.. getting along. Jealousy overcame me.
" Stop it! " I screamed across the classroom, not thinking at all. Suddenly all eyes were fixed on me again, I couldn't believe I'd just said that. My face went bright red, slouching down, I burried my face into my textbook, I was so embarrassed. I felt a hand being placed on my shoulder, looking up, I saw it was Louis, his eyes glazed over and worried. I pushed him away and sunk into my chair even more. I wasn't angry with anyone but myself. I couldn't believe how I just snapped.
