It had been three years since his death. I was still trying to get over him. We were engaged to be married. And then a drunk driver hit him. I had never cried so hard. Today marked the three year anniversary. I walked to the corner of Starbucks, hanging my head, but the coffee that once occupied my hands, now occupied my shirt and pants.
“I am so sorry!” The person I ran into apologized. I found out he was not only a male, but he was English.
“No, don’t worry about it.” I sighed.
“Here let me at least buy you another one.” I looked up and was greeted by a pair of beautiful blue eyes.
“I’m Louis.” He smiled. Oh my god his smile.
“I’m Annabelle.” I replied shyly.
“Why don’t we sit down in the corner over there?” Louis offered.
“Sure.” I smiled. I started twisting my ring around my finger. I did that when I was nervous. Louis handed me a coffee. I thanked him and we sat down. He removed his sunglasses. We both eased into the conversation

“So, he was so drunk he started running around butt naked?” I was dying of laughter by this point. Louis nodded, laughing just as hard as I was. He was telling me about his four best mates. They sounded like a bunch of idiots. I talked about my two best mates as well.
“Oh my god, it’s two in the afternoon. I was supposed to meet my manager at noon.” I laughed checking my phone.
“Manager?” He asked confused.
“Oh video manager, I am a YouTuber and I actually have an EP on iTunes. My manager helps me produce the music and record things.” I rambled on, thinking how pissed she was going to be.
“Really? I’d love to check that out sometime.” He smiled.
“Okay! Hey, I really should get going. Um here give me your number.” I said, sliding my phone to him. He quickly typed it in. I smiled and he walked me out to my car.
“Thank you for buying me another coffee, and for the company.” I hugged him. He hugged me back. I felt this warm fuzzy feeling. No, stop Anna, you have a fiancé.

“Where the hell were you?!” My manager, Laura, howled.
“I met a boy. He spilt coffee on me, and then we talked.” I smiled to myself. I haven’t smiled or laughed that much in…three years. Wow…
“Well congratulations, but Shane and Joey will be here soon to go over what you’ll be doing for their video.” She stated. I nodded. Now would be a great time to text Louis. Then I noticed that his number was missing the last digit. He left a note on my phone telling me to figure it out. That asshole.
“Earth to Anna!” Laura said, snapping me out of my thoughts.
“Sorry. Distracted.” I said apologetically. I started trying to figure out his number.
Louis: Hey, is this Annabelle?
Me: Maybe ;) why didn’t you give me the last digit?
Louis: Wanted to see if you cared enough/if you were truly interested in me. ;)
My heart fluttered. I haven’t felt this happy in a while. We continued to text until Shane and Joey showed up.

“Good job everyone!” Shoey yelled. I called them that from the get go. Everyone ships them. My phone buzzed.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Hey! Want to come meet my mates and hang around?” Louis asked.
“Sure! Where are you located?” I asked him.
“The Marriot by the airport.” He responded.
“Okay, see you soon.” I smiled.

Louis’ P.O.V

“Dude, you just met her. Calm down.” Niall said, rubbing my shoulders.
“This is the first girl who didn’t know who I was when she first met me. Hell, she talked to me like a normal person. A bloody normal person!” I was ecstatic.
“Don’t you think you should tell her who you are?” Harry asked.
“I can’t yet. I want to see where this goes.” I said.
“You’re not going to keep it from her are you?” Liam inquired.
“Not for long, no. Just a week, tops.” I responded nervously. A knock on the door broke the silence and I rushed over to get it.
“Hey Annabelle!” I greeted her.
“Hey Louis, you look a lot better without the beanie, glasses and a huge coat, haha.” I said, hugging him. He just smiled.
“Hey, WAIT, YOU’RE ANNABELLE! THE FAMOUS YOUTUBER!” Harry yelled excitedly.
“Haha yes I am. And you’re Harry Styles?” Shit she knows. Harry looked at me nervously.
“Annabelle, do you want something to drink?” I asked her, breaking the silence Harry caused.
“Um water, and you can just call me Anna.” She smiled at me. Liam followed me to the little kitchen.
“So what now? She obviously knows Harry, and she’ll probably figure out Zayn.” He gave me a look.
“I know. If she finds out, so be it. I will still pursue a relationship, hopefully, with her.” I sighed. I grabbed a water and walked back out. Harry and her were playing Mario Kart, Zayn was watching Anna kick his ass.
“Here you go.” I smiled, giving it to her.
“Thanks. So when were you going to tell me you were in One Direction?” She asked, not taking her focus away from the tele.
“Whenever.” I said nervously.
“HA! STYLES! I kicked your ass! Suck my nonexistent twelve inch long one!” She suddenly yelled.
“You’re a girl! How the hell did you beat me?!” He asked, staring at the tele in disbelief.
“I have three older brothers, bitch.” She smirked.
“Damn. I want to race you.” I said, taking the controller from Harry.
“Bring it on, Lou.” She smiled. I glared at her and we began. One of her sleeves migrated up and I noticed a bunch of deep scars.
“Louis, you just crashed…and she beat you.” Harry and Niall laughed I just smiled.
