One Chance *On Hold*
Chapter 16
**Aria’s POV**
I scrambled with the lock trying to leave quickly. “Just talk to me” Louis said before pick me up with ease and dropping me on the bed.
“I don’t want to talk to you,” I snapped “now leave”
“Please, just talk” his voice was raspy. He placed his hand around my back attempting to pull me in closer to him.
I quickly swatted his arms away “Don’t touch me! Now get out” I spat.
“Aria, please” he said through clenched teeth. I didn’t respond, keeping my focus on the floor. “Look at me” he said forcefully as he yanked my jaw up to meet his gaze.
“Fine, you wanna talk? Let’s talk” I said angrily “You’re an asshole, Louis! Sure, that guy was a creep but that doesn’t mean you have the right to beat him!” I yelled, surprising myself at how brutally my words came out.
“What the hell was I suppose to do then? Just sit there and watch him kiss you?” His tone scared me. He slammed his fists down onto the bed next to me. He scared me. “You didn’t even try to push him away!” he continued since I didn’t answer.
“I didn’t even have time to push him away yet” I tried to sound forcefully but my voice was clearly shaking.
“Really, Aria, that’s the best you could come up with?” His eyes were a shade darker than usual “I was actually in here to apologize, but- fuck that. You’re a bitch. I left for literally two minutes and come back out to find you practically kissing some guy” He said getting up.
“Louis, wait” I pleaded.
He quickly unlocked and opened the door. “I’m done, Aria” he spat before slamming the door closed.
He’s done? Done with what, this fight or trying to change or me?
I wanted to go out there and talk to him but I would probably just end up making things worse. Instead I went to my bag, pulling off my shoes and shorts and replacing my crew neck with a tie dyed sleep shirt.
Curling up on my side of the bed, my mind kept replaying the fight over and over again. Finally Jane and Leah walked in breaking me from my thoughts. “Are you okay?” Jane said quietly crouching next to the bed so she could meet my gaze. I shuck my head no. I assumed they heard the whole fight since most of it was yelling and there was only a door between us.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Leah piped in.
“I just want to sleep” I huffed before flipping over so my face was hidden in the pillow. I felt tears build up in my eyes. I really do care about Louis. Sure I was mad, but I didn’t want this to happen.
**Louis’s POV**
I stormed out of Aria’s room. Everyone’s eyes landed on me. They could at least pretend they didn’t hear the whole fight. “Lou-“ Zayn started.
“Fuck off. I’m not getting all in my feeling about some girl” I snapped. He just nodded and sat back down next to Perrie. Jane and Leah waited a few minutes before scurrying into Aria’s room.
I tried to just watch the movie, but my mind kept wondering to Aria. I shouldn't have yelled at her like that. She probably hates me now. I want to go in there and talk to her, but I’m just going to make things worse. I need to just take a break for a day or two then try to talk to her. How am I supposed to stay away for that long?
Sunday
“Wake up” Liam yelled. I mumbled and rolled over.
“Really, everyone is up but you” an Irish voice, obviously Niall, said from farther away.
I moaned and flipped onto me back to see a bunch of people looking down at my “What?” I said in an annoyed voice.
“We’re in California, you not allowed to sleep the day away” Dani said.
I finally got up and showered. When I came out of the bathroom everyone was already dressed and ready to go. “What are we doing today?” I questioned.
“We don’t know yet” Zayn said.
I glanced at Aria sitting on the couch with Harry and Leah. She looks amazing like usually, but I quickly looked away. It took all I had to not go over to her, but I need to stay away at least for today; she needs her space.
**Aria’s POV**
We got back from the beach; I just showered and got into comfy clothes. Louis has barely even looked at me all day. Damn it, why can’t he just come over here and kiss me and say he didn’t mean those things. Maybe he did mean those things; maybe he really does think I’m a bitch, maybe he really is ‘done’.
The thought of that gave me chills. I sat down on the couch next to Leah who was flirting with Niall like always. “We should drink tonight” Jane suggested excitedly as everyone regrouped in the living room. They all quickly agreed.
I wasn’t ready for them to see my drunken side though. I get way to flirty and dare-devily. And to make it worse, I remember all of it. Even if I’m completely shitfaced, I have never blacked out, stuff just gets kind of blurred. Some people think that a good thing, but trust me it’s better to just not remember.
Jane had a fake ID so she went with Harry and Leah to get the drinks, while Niall, Louis, and I stayed here.
For the first time all day Louis made eye contact with me for more than two seconds. Without looking away he got up and walked over to me. “Can we talk?”
I nodded before getting up and following him to my room. My breathing became heavy; I’m past nervous.
I shut the door behind me and turned to him. He was stand about a foot away from me just staring down at me with him little blue eyes.
“I didn’t mean what I said last night” Louis said somewhat shyly which surprised me.
“You scared me” I said nervously.
“I’m sorry, I was just really, really upset and obviously I’m not the best at dealing with that” He brought his hands through his hair and bit the inside of his bottom lip.
I let out a breath I didn’t even realize that I was holding in. “I’m sorry too. I- I shouldn’t have been so mad. You know I just don’t like violence and yeah” I nervously fiddled with my necklace.
“I really am trying you know” His said meeting my gaze again “Fighting my way through problems isn’t the real me, but I’ve just done it for so long that, I don’t know, it’s just instinct. But I’m trying to change.”
Without thinking I place my head on the back of his neck, pulling him down to kiss me. The second our lips touched, that familiar warm filling washed over me. Louis place one hand on my lower back and one on the back on my neck, pulling my in closer to him. I felt his tougne graze across my bottom lip.
“Um- guys” Harry interrupted and I quickly pulled away “I’m glad that you guys aren’t mad anymore, but drinks are here, so hurry up” He said before turning out the door.
I scrambled with the lock trying to leave quickly. “Just talk to me” Louis said before pick me up with ease and dropping me on the bed.
“I don’t want to talk to you,” I snapped “now leave”
“Please, just talk” his voice was raspy. He placed his hand around my back attempting to pull me in closer to him.
