But you didn't have to cut me off

Ben & Jerrys

Rachel's P.O.V.

I sighed, making my way back to the kitchen after Ky left. She looked great and I knew her and Zayn would have a great time together. "So.." I turned to see the other three, behind me. "What's going on with you and Lou?" Sam asked gently. I shrugged. "I honestly dont know.. He just kinda stopped talking to me" I told them. "Over Spencer" Nat added. I raised my eyebrows. "What?" I asked. "That's what Ky said. He's worried that your gonna take Spencer back" She explained to me.

It was weird. I felt annoyed, confused and somewhat flattered all at the same time. I was annoyed mostly because he thought I was stupid enough to get back with Spencer. But also because it wasn't fair he got mad at me for that anyways. I mean we were just friends, right?

My train of thought was interrupted by a series of knocking on the door. We all looked to the hallway, confused. "Come in!" I yelled. "Rachel! It could be anyone" Hannah said, her eyes widening. She was always the sensible one in the group. I rolled my eyes shrugging. "If your by any chance a murderer, robber or any kind of criminal your not welcome, sorry" I yelled again as I heard the door opening and footsteps. I opened the freezer and took out a tub of Ben & Jerrys and began eating. The kitchen door opened and Niall, Harry Liam and Louis walked in.

I sighed and hopped onto the counter, my Ben & Jerry still in my hand and swung my legs. "Hey" I nodded at the boys before looking back to my ice cream. They all said hello in return. "We figured we'd come over here, since you guys have been at our house" Niall explained. I felt Louis' eyes on me but refused to look up. "Why dont we give you the tour" Hannah said as she linked arms with Liam in a not-so-subtle hint that me and Louis should be left alone.

They al made their way back into the hall leaving just me and Louis in the kitchen in an awkward silence. I continued to eat my ice cream refusing to meet his eye. "Is that cookie dough ice cream?" he asked suddenly. I looked at him quickly and nodded. "Can I have some?" he asked again. I shrugged. "Why not" I muttered. He ignored my obvious coldness and proceeded to get a spoon from the drawer and hop onto the counter next to me.

We ate the ice cream in silence for a moment before he sighed loudly. "Rachel, Im sorry" he muttered. I didn't look at him. "Its just.. " he trailed off. "You think Im gonna get back with Spencer" I finished coldly. "How'd you know that?" he asked. "Kylee" I replied shortly. "Zayn and his big mouth" he muttered. "You know what, I dont understand? Why would it bother you anyways Louis?" I asked suddenly causing him to blush slightly. "You're my friend, I dont want to see you hurt" he replied. I bit my lip. "And that's the only reason?" I asked slowly. He bit his lip too. "Actually Evans, there's something I want to talk to you abo-" he started.

"And back to the kitchen!" Sam giggled. "Thank god! im starving!" Nat and Niall said in unison. Louis quickly stopped talking. "Later" he whispered.
