Forget To Remember Me

Louis POV:

After I was shooed out of the house to pick up McDonald's (which I didn't understand by the way), I went to my car. On my way there, I started thinking about a lot of things. I have been doing that a lot lately along with being more serious and I think it started when Annabelle first came into my life. She really does mean a lot to me. I can't believe that the first time that I ever met her, she was a complete jerk to me, but she did have a reason. I respect that. We've already said our apologies and i'm glad that we did. I've never met anyone quite like her. For one she's stubborn, which makes me want to chase her. Two, she's downright beautiful. And... well... I could go on for days. I still have that feeling though. The one I told Harry and Zayn about. The feeling that since she's so perfect, i'm going to lose her. If I ever lost her, I don't know what I would do. Cry, go silent, etc... Ugh.. I really need to get that thought out of my head because that will probably never happen. She doesn't look or act like she'll be leaving any time soon.. Right? I pulled up into drive through and recited the order. When I got the food I put it down next to me and turned on some music. Something to keep my mind of her...

I successfully made it home without thinking one single thing about Belle.. until now. Oh well. I walked into the door and yelled, "I'M HOME!" really loudly. I ran into the living room where the boys and Annabelle were and set the food down. "So, what did you lovely boys and girl talk about while I was gone?" I asked smiling.


"Uh-uh.. Nothing really. We just watched some TV. Really boring stuff that you don't really want to hear about." Belle said.

"Okay." I said. After that, we all got our food and sat down to watch some movies. I guess we were really into the movie because we ended up picking about 3 other ones to watch. I sat down next to Belle while the third movie started. A while into the movie, I started looking around the room. Liam and Zayn were engrossed in the movie while sitting on the other couch across the room, while Harry and Niall sat on the floor looking exactly the same, but shoving cookies in their mouth as well. I chuckled at that. Then I looked right next to me. Belle. She was truly flawless and she didn't even know it. She was leaning into my chest and I could feel her heart beating against mine. This is how it's supposed to be. Me protecting her from anything and everything. Keeping her in my arms and never letting her fall through them. It made me realize how much I wanted this to last. For this position to become a reality, because right now I feel as if I'm dreaming, and I definetely don't want to wake up. Soon, I heard the TV go silent. I looked up and it was off and everyone was getting up. Huh.. I guess I really did miss that whole movie. Belle started to get up and follow the rest of the boys upstairs. No! I couldn't go another night without her knowing how I feel. It may be a little scary and embarrassing, but I need to do this and do it fast. I ran after and before she could set one foot up the stairs, I grabbed her shoulder. No going back now... She turned around and stood right in front of me. Soon enough I started to feel a little lightheaded for what I was about to do, but I kept it together and said, "Can I talk to you for a minute?" There I did it. Oh No! Now what do I do?

"Sure" she said. I took her hand and led her over to the couch. We both sat down and she soon said, "Are you okay Lou? You look kind of upset? What's going on. I'm your best friend, you can tell me anything."

That's the thing. I want us to be more than that. Now's my chance to find out...

"Annabelle, I have to tell you something. And it might be a little overwhelming, especially to me, but i need to say it.

"Go ahead Louis. Tell me" she urged.

"Okay.... I like you!" I blurted out. She stared at me with a confused expression, then her face softened and she said, "I like you too! I thought you knew that" she said with a laugh.

"No. Annabelle, I like you as more than just a best friend, and I know we've only known each other for two years, and spent the first one hating each other, but I know how I feel when i'm around you, and it's something I have never felt before with anyone else. When I first saw you at the cafe, I thought you were breath taking. Then of course when I met you, we kind of came off on the wrong foot. It took us a while to see that we both were good people, but we were okay in the end. Soon after we started becoming friends and getting real close, I got to see the real you. And the real you is amazing in every way. Also tonight when we were watching the movie and you were laying on me, I realized how that's how we are supposed to be. Always together, with nothing stopping us. I really think we could be together for a long time if your willing to. I love you Annabelle Hunt. Will you be mine?" I asked hopefully after my confession. She stared at me for a good 2 minutes or so. I hope that this was just shock and not her thinking in her mind how to let me down easy. She then spoke up and my heart started racing... "Oh.. Lou. You don't know how much this means to me." she said as she started to tear up.

"I love you too, but... I can't do this to you." she finished. All I heard from what she said so far was "I love you too." Naturally I said...,

"Great!... wait what?" I said, after I processed the rest of what she told me. She started to cry and looked down at our intertwined hands. She then looked back up at me with her glossy big brown eyes and took them away from my grasp. Do you know what she did then? Something that I think surprised us both...

She ran away from me.

I knew it. I knew that she was too perfect to be real. She is doing exactly what I was afraid of. Slipping through my grasp. Then, I did the only thing that made sense to me..

I ran after her. But before I could do that, I realized one thing, and one thing only...


She's my beautiful nightmare.
