It Never Ends

*illianna’s POV*

“So what happened?” Ariana asked, Monday morning in our first class.

“What do you mean?” I mumble, still tired and wanting sleep.

“You know what I mean. On Saturday, with you and Louis?” Ariana reminded me.

I mentally roll my eyes. I should have seen this coming.

“Nothing.” I cough casually.

“Ha. I don’t believe that.” Ariana chuckled.

I don’t know why I was debating on telling her. She didn’t need to know, but I do need someone to talk to about this. And she is my best friend.

Besides, it’s not like Ariana will run and tell Zayn. She knows better than to stoop that low.

“We just played Around the World.” I shrug.

“And….” Ariana carries on.

“And that’s it.” I say, wanting to end the conversation.

“Oh come on Lily! You used to tell me everything.” Ariana whines.

“There isn’t much to say about what happened.” I lie, hoping to keep a straight face.

I don’t know why I turned so shy suddenly.

“Lily, I know you better than anyone. Which means I know that you’re lying. So just tell me what happened. Please.” Ariana begs. “I’ll tell what Zayn and I did.”

I scrunch up my face.

“No thanks. I really would not like to know what happened between my best friend and brother.” I gag.

“Just come on Lily.”

“Nothing happened Ari.”

“illianna!” Ariana says sternly, crossing her arms.

“Ariana!”

She looks at me, not showing any signs of giving up.

I huff in response.

“Fine. I beat him in our game and we kissed again afterwards.” I give in.

Ariana’s eyes widen. Her mouth hangs open.

I stare at her as if she has never heard of anyone kissing someone.

“What?” I ask, as she continued to stare at me.

“What do you mean you guys kissed ‘again’?” she asks.

It’s my turn to do the same reaction she did. Did I really just say that?

“Erm, yeah. We kissed again.” I quickly say.

“You two kissed before?!”

“Yes.” I nod.

“When?”

“At his party. I found him on the balcony and we started talking. Then one thing led to another. And after Harry dropped me at my house, Louis was there. And we finished where we left off.” I confess.

“How many times, to be exact, did you guys kiss?” Ariana wondered.

“Three. And they weren’t little baby kisses.” I laugh.

Ariana’s mouth forms into a smile.

“He was at your house? Alone with you?” She wonders again.

“Yeah. Just us two.” I answer.

“What all did you guys do?”

“We just kissed and fell asleep.” I said as out teacher walked in.

“You guys slept together?! Did you two have sex too?” Ariana whispers.

“No! I just slept on top of him.”

“Clothes?” she asks.

“I was in my leggings and bra. He was only in his jeans.” I blush in humiliation.

Ariana smirks as our teacher begins the lesson on early English literature.

“I’m not done with you yet.” Ariana giggles.

I cover my face even more.

The lesson rolls on as the teacher talks about great authors such as William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Nathanial Hawthorne.

We’re given our new novel to read, which is classified as one of the ‘best books of English literature’. ‘The Scarlet Letter’. Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, and Roger Chillingworth. What an amazing love triangle.

I can’t get Louis off my mind though.

We haven’t talked since Saturday which was kind of weird. We admitted our feelings for each other, but ignored one another the rest of the weekend.

I would have to face him today though. We always saw each other in soccer class. And I just wanted nothing more than to just go to last class.

Zayn didn’t ask me why I was late from coming home from practice or what happened the night of the party. It's as if he’s letting me be by myself instead of him always being with me.

“..I like Louis a lot!”

I quickly pick my head up.

Jenna Russo, the head cheerleader is talking to the preppy girls in front of the class.

“You guys should hook up already! I don’t know why he is stalling. There is no other girl in this school that could compare to you.” Jenna’s friend, Nelly, another cheerleader says.

Ariana looks at Jenna and Nelly. Then at me.

“Are you guys talking about Louis Tomlinson?” Ariana asks them questionably.

I hold my breath, hoping it would be another Louis.

“Yeah. Why?” Jenna answers.

“I heard he hooked up with some soccer chick during his party.” Brandon Waters, a varsity tennis player adds in.

“Psh, why would Louis hook up with a soccer junkie? Nothing but sweaty, dirty hair and clammy skin.” Jenna and Nelly ask with sickening expressions.

I tense up and see Ariana tense as well.

“Just ignore it Ariana. I can’t let anyone know it was me. We’ll deal with it later.” I beg.

The bell rings ending class and Ariana and I are the first to make it out.

“Have you spoken to Louis at all today?” Ariana asks as we exit the classroom.

“No. Not since Saturday.”

“Why didn’t he talk to you on Sunday? Is he ignoring you?” she asks.

“I don’t know. But I’ll talk to him today.”

“You better. You can’t lose him to Jenna.” Ariana assures me.

As she finishes talking, I see Louis from a distance with Niall and Liam.

I try to hide behind of Ariana, not ready to talk to him.

Ariana however, pushes me in front of her forcing us to make eye-contact.

Louis sees me, but doesn’t make a move. He doesn’t say a word.

I stay still, and my words fail me.

We stand a few inches away from each other. Everyone in the hallway sees us. It’s basically a stare-down happening in the middle of the hallway. The sound of students talking vanishes and it’s dead silent.

Not a single word is spoken. Not a movement done.

We stare at each other for the longest time.

Jenna comes skipping to Louis.

She puts her arm around his waist and puts his arm around her shoulder.

My breathing hitches. Ariana quickly comes and takes my hand, leading me away.

She turns me around so that we walk in a different direction. I look back around to see Louis facing Jenna.

Tears form in my eyes.

I have never been this embarrassed before. I was just humiliated in front of half of the junior class.

I knew I shouldn’t have let that boy get to me. I was just his booty call. He used me for Jenna. And I don’t even know to be mad at Jenna or not.

But I just have too many emotions running in my head.

“Don’t over think it illianna. Jenna forced him to put his arm around her. There is probably nothing going on between them. Jenna likes Louis, but you don’t know how Louis feels. Just wait for him to talk to you first.” Ariana whispers, trying to calm me down and walking me to my next class.

I nod at her and walk inside to take my seat.

She pets my hair before leaving me alone. I put my head on my desk.

Seeing Louis with Jenna hurt me in a bad way. But I didn’t know it would bother me so much.

All I can do is forgive and forget.

Forgive myself for being awfully stupid in falling for him in one day and forgetting that he ever existed.
