This afternoon reminded me of a morning not long ago. The only difference really, was the door in front of me, who belonged to someone else this time. I pounded on it hard, and a few seconds later, the door opened.

"Hi, babe!" Louis greeted.

But I ignored him, and walked past him and in to his dormitory. Thank God we were alone, because Louis was now going to get a serious scolding.

"Why did you tell Bim?!" I shouted when Louis, a little worried, closed the door.

But he only gave me a confused face.

"What are you talking about?"

"Bim! My roommate? The girl you ditc-"

"I know who she is, but what did I tell her?"

I walked closer to him, so I didn't have to scream.

"That we dated. That you ditched her for me. That I'm the "someone else". Because that was you who told her, wasn't it?"

Louis eyes flickered around in the room, trying to avoid mine.

"Louis!" I repeated.

"Okay, fine, I told her. But I didn't think it would be a problem! Plus, I thought she knew!"

"Okay, Louis.. what exactly did you say to her?" I asked.

"She asked if I wanted to go on a date with her, and I said that I was already dating you, and then.. It kind of just slipped out of me that you were the girl I leaved her for.."

"Oh no..!" I said and took a few steps away from him.

My hands was placed on my forehead, to stop the painful beating I had inside of my head. Migraine, probably. I sat down on the couch to process things.

"We're dating now, and I don't want either of us to be ashamed or scared to tell anyone about it!"

I quickly stood up again.

"It's not that! It's just.. Bim has the biggest crush on you.. And it kills her that I'm the girl you ditched her for. So.. I think you should talk to her."

"And say what? That, "I'm sorry that I told you, but it's the truth", or what?"

"No, more like, "You're a lovely girl, and I still wanna be friends with you" and, "I'm sorry for telling you"."

"Seriously?" Louis said with a questioningly face.

"Seriously."

Louis still had the questioningly face on, but after a while, his hand flew up to his face, and slightly pushed his hair back to the small quiff it first looked like when I had walked in there. He sighed and slowly nodded.

"You're right. I have to do it. Is she in her room?"

I took a few steps towards him, gently put my arms around his waist, and leaned my head against his chest.

"No, she's not." I mumbled. "Actually, I don't know where she is. But I'll text you when I find out."

Louis looked down on me, even though it wasn't that much of a height-difference, he was a bit taller than me. He smiled his gorgeous smile at me, which made my stomach ache. God, even after a small fight with him, I loved him more than ever.

"I'll talk to her, don't worry." He said low.

"I never do." I smiled and hugged him extra tight before I leaved the room.

I started to go back to my dormitory, just to see if she was there. But when I opened my door, it was empty. Only the TV filled the room with noise. I sighed, locked the door, and slided down to the floor by leaning my back against the wall. Then I closed my eyes. What have I done? I could have so easily taken that moment, that moment when I knew that I could tell her and everything would be okay. Because the moment Louis told her, was not one of those. For Gods sake, she asked him out! Bim, asked someone out. That was the bravest thing she had ever done, and she got rejected again. Because of me, again.
Why was I such a coward? So coward, that someone who didn't know her near as much as I, had to tell her? I realized that Louis didn't do anything wrong. Of course he thought she'd know by now, the party was days ago.
Suddenly, my phone started ringing. I checked the display.

Dad Is Calling..

My heart lifted. I needed his voice right now.

"Hi, dad!" I hurried to answer.

"Hi, sweetie! How's everything?"

"Everything's.."

I swallowed, as I felt that horrible feeling you always feel in your throat before you're about to cry.

"Everything's fine."

Notes

Hi! I know this is a small chapter, but I felt bad for not be able to write this week and I wanted to give you something before I leave. Maybe a bit boring chapter, but better than nothing, right? Have a great week, bye! Love, A.

Where do you think Bim is?

How do you think things will work out?
