By My Side

Chapter Eight

-Louis's point of view-

Linzie came running out of the door into the car, throwing her jacket behind. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"What happen-" before i could finish asking, her lips crashed into mine. My eyes widened but I kissed her back. She cupped my cheeks and pulled me closer to her. We kissed slowly, because I wasn't used to people suddenly kissing me, and maybe so did her. We broke apart to catch our breath. Linzie stared at me and smiled before I wiped her tears with my thumbs. She buckled her seatbelt.

"Let's get out of here, I'll tell you about this later," she said.

"Oh, and let's go to your house for now,"

"What about the others?" I asked her.

"It's fine, I'll call Taylor and tell her I'll be going to your house and she can sleep in my house. The others too," she replied. I nodded and quickly drove to my house.

At my house, Linz and I entered in and sat on the couch. She sat criss-cross applesause and faced me.

"So what happened?"

"So, when I wanted to knock on Brody's door, the door was strangely unlocked. Then, I just opened the door and headed in." She inhaled a deep breath before continuing.

"When I went into his room, which was where my jacket was, he was..." she closed her eyes at the memory. "Having sex with claire."

My eyes widened as i noticed a single tear roll down her cheek.

"Come," I asked. She stood up and sat beside me, resting her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my one of my arms around her and threaded my fingers through her hair with the other.

"Let's watch a movie," I said, grabbing my macbook, opening up and typing in my password.

"What movie?" She looked at me with a smile on her face. She's so beautiful.

"Hmm..." I tapped a finger on my chin.

"Beauty and the Beast!" She suggested. I typed in what she said and waited for the movie to start playing.

-Linzie's point of view-

"That was a good movie," I stretched out my arms. Suddenly, a memory came flooding back into my head.

"Oh ya, sorry about... that kiss." I looked down at the floor, avoiding eye contact with him.

"It's ok, just remember this. I will always be there for you in your darkest times," he wrapped his arms around me, as I jumped at his sudden movement. Soon, I hugged him back, smiling.

"Oh shit, I needa call Taylor," I reminded. We let go of each other and I ran to my phone, typing in Taylor's number. She picked up after one ring, which is surprisingly fast.

"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? DID YOU GET KIDNAPPED? DID LOUIS SAVE YOU? HELLOOOO!!" she yelled through the phone as I distanced the phone away from my ear.

"Um...I'm at Louis's hou-" she cut me off.

"Ooo, what are you doing," i can tell she was wiggling her eyebrows.

"Uh, not what you are thinking. Anyways, you have to take care of my house 'cause i don't think i will be going back. And i'll tell you tomorrow what happened,"

"WHAT HAPPE-" I hung up. Wow, she's... crazy.

"So, do you wanna go for dinner?" Louis asked.

"Ok, sure. What about, Chipotle?" I asked.

"Ok," he grabbed his phone as wallet, which was lying around on the floor, and headed out. I grabbed my purse amd headed out too.

When we settled in the car, i buckled my seatbelt as Louis turned the key to start the engine.

"Oh... I'm sorry for what happened. Anyways, I thought you broke up with him," He apologised before asking.

"Well, I can't get over him," i admitted.

"Have you tried?"

"No..."

"Then, try. Hang out with me," he suggested.

"Ok, starting from tomorrow,"

-

Right now, I was lying on Louis's bed with one of Louis's hoodies on since I didn't want to wear my previous clothes and go to sleep. My hair was in a messy bun as i checked my Instagram. Louis was getting ready for bed in the bathroom while I was checking instagram. When I was liking a pic, i heard a door open. I sat up and noticed a topless Louis. I mean, I am kinda freaking out mentally. Like, why is he topless? What the fuck? But damn, he's hot.

"What?" Louis smirked when he noticed me staring at him.

"N...nothing," I tried to hide my really red face so I just look at the ground. Why am I constantly blushing in front of him!

"Anyways, you can sleep on the bed, I'll occupy the floor," he said as he threaded his fingers through his hair.

"No, it's ok, I'll sleep on the floor. Afterall, it's your bed," I convinced, standing up from his bed.

"No, you sleep on the bed," he argued.

"Nah, you sleep!" I argued back.

"It's fine, you sleep,"

"You should!"

Well, that went on for at least 10 minutes. In the end, both of us slept on the bed, a pillow placed in between us.
