But you didn't have to cut me off

Rachels P.O.V.

Nathalia went first. She told us about how her and Niall got bored of skating and decided to eat. Then Samantha told us about her and Harry and how they spent the whole time skating together. Kylee explained the whole incident with Hunter again to the others. I was still pretty pissed about that. He had some cheek trying to wreck her day with Zayn. After Hannah told us about how her and Liam clicked all attention turned to me. "How was your day?" Samantha asked me. I nodded. "Good" I replied simply. That's when all eyes turned to me. "What's up?" Hannah asked. "Eyes on the road Han" Kylee told her firmly. Hannah turned back to the road but the others were still watching me. "You guys totally seemed to click" Kylee said. I sighed. "We did, that's the problem" I admitted. "So your not ready to move on?" Sam asked. I shrugged. "Its not that.. Its just.. I dunno... I'm scared.." I attempted to explain.

Last year, I met a super sweet guy who at first seemed amazing. I was head over heels for him and after 6months we decided to rent a flat together. But as soon as we moved in he began to change. He was acting really distant and started staying out late. I found out he was seeing someone else and so tried to break up with him but he started hitting me, threatening me. I didn't tell anyone because I was too scared of what he'd do. After 2 and a half months the girls figured out and convinced me to leave him. Despite everything he had done, I still missed him when I left him. Pathetic, right? But he was such a big part in my life and having it end was strange. I was glad though to be living back with my four best friends.

"Rach, its been two months since your break up" Sam said softly. "Yeah, dont let him influence your life anymore" Kylee added. "Louis is a great guy Rach, he'd never hurt you" Hannah told me. I nodded. "I know.. I know" I muttered back. I knew they were right. Louis was nothing like Spencer. I just didn't know if I was ready for another relationship. And I wasn't sure Louis could handle my baggage.

That Night

"I'm gonna go to bed guys, I'm wrecked" I told the girls, getting up from the couch I was lounged on. There was a chorus of "Goodnight"s as I left. They were all watching a movie but I just wanted some time alone to clear my head. I walked into my bedroom, closing th door behind me and sat on my bed. Just as I was about to look for pyjamas my phone started ringing. It was a number that seemed familiar so I answered it.

"Hello"

"Hey, wanna come for a walk?"

"Louis? I really should save your number"

"I'm insulted you haven't already! So a walk?"

"I'm pretty sure we dont live within walking distance"

"I'm around the corner at that little coffee shop"

"How do you-"

"Hannah told Liam where you live"

"Oh."

"C'mon Rach, I've come all this way.."

I gave in when he called me Rach. The others wouldn't approve of me leaving the house alone this late. I looked to my window. There was a fire escape, right? I guess what the girls dont know won't hurt them.

"Ok, I'll see you in a minute if I can get out"
