*LOUIS'S POV*

"Come on Louis." Zayn called, grabbing his keys.

"What?" I asked, not taking my eyes off the dumb infomercial on T.V.

"We're all going out." He told me.

"Well, I'm not."

Zayn sighed and tossed his keys down. I heard the footsteps of the other guys coming down the stairs. They were all laughing, but when they saw me, they stopped.

"Louis, look, we're tired of all this. We're tired of you sitting on your ass all day, feeling bad for yourself. All you do nowadays is complain, and ignore us. We try to help you have fun and cheer up and you shoot us down every time. We know that it sucks going through this with Chloe, but if you wanted to be with her, you wouldn't have told her otherwise." Zayn told me, anger present in his voice.

I didn't say anything. I just sat there, staring blankly at the T.V.

"Whatever." Zayn huffed. "Are you guys coming?"

Liam, and Niall followed Zayn out the door, but Harry stayed behind and looked at me for a minute, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"Whatever it is, save it." I mumbled, getting up and walking upstairs.

I heard the door slam and knew Harry was gone. Ashton told me that Kalie, Luke, Chloe and some dude were all hanging out tonight. That was one of the main reasons I wasn't up for going out tonight. What Chloe said a couple weeks ago was true, we aren't meant to be together and if we were we would have found our way by now.

We've tried to make this work 100 times before, and it's only worked five times out of the hundred.

I decided to get in the shower and try to relax. I just wanted to go to sleep and take my mind off Chloe and that stupid date of hers. She was literally the only thing that could make me happy right now, and I had blown it for the 50th time.

*CHLOE'S POV*

 "So, Keaton. What were you doing there?" I sighed, walking with him down the road.

 "I met Luke a couple months ago, and we kind of hit it off. I had no idea that 'his friend Chloe' was you, trust me. It's awkward for me too. You kind of broke Wesley's heart." Keaton told me.

 "I know." I mumbled, shoving my hands deep in my pockets.

 I felt bad enough that I ditched Wes for Louis. We all see how that worked out. Maybe if I wouldn't have been so quick to force myself to fall for Louis again, I would still be with Wes and we would be happy. But, it's all in the past now. I just wish that it would've turned out differently.

 "Oh, and how did you not figure out it was me? How many Keatons do you know?" He laughed, his breath forming a small circle in the cool fall air.

 "Luke never actually told me your name until we were at the restaurant and by then it was too late." I smiled.

 "You know, I've missed hanging out with you." He said, following the line of mailboxes up the street.

 "Yeah me too. I always felt closer to you then the other guys. We agreed on everything." I replied. "Remember that time that I was arguing with Wes over whether Iggy's butt was real, and you jumped in and agreed with me. He was so pissed off."

 "That was so funny though. I did feel kind of bad when he stomped upstairs and slammed his door, though."

 We walked, laughing about old stories. I was only a year ago that I had been hanging out with Wes, Keaton and Drew, and yet, it seemed like so much longer. I guess when you go through what seems like a million break ups with your best friend/boyfriend, tour with Little Mix and finally settle back down, it seems like so much longer.

 Keaton and I stopped outside my apartment building. I could see Morgann sitting on the porch with Hunter, both of them laughing. She was so lucky to have her best friend as her boyfriend. I was only lucky enough to have it work out once. The best part, was that they found their way back to each other. That's all I wanted.

 "Well, I guess this is good night." I said, glancing at my building.

 "Yeah, I guess it is." Keaton sighed.

 "We should catch up soon." I replied, giving him a hug.

 "Absolutely, just let me know." He told me.

 I smiled and walked off to my apartment, ready for bed and to forget my jealousy and focus on what just happened with Keaton.

~~~

 "Morning." I mumbled to Morgann, shuffling into the kitchen.

 "You're up late." Morgann told me, glancing at the clock on the microwave.

 "Yeah, I wasn't really tired last night." I shrugged, pouring myself some coffee.

 I walked back upstairs and set my cup down on m bedside table. I was about to get in the shower when my phone buzzed and lit up. I walked over and glanced at it: Keaton had texted me, wondering if I wanted to get coffee now.

 I smiled to myself and replied, setting my phone down and starting to get ready.

 *LOUIS'S POV*

 I rolled out of bed and stood up. Instant pain shot through my head and I brought my hand to it. 

 How much did I drink last night?

 I took a deep breath and walked downstairs to get some water. I got a glass, and filled it with water. I hadn't even been up for ten minutes and my mind was already wandering to what Chloe and Keaton talked about last night.

 I rolled my eyes and took a few aspirin.

 I ran my hand over my hair and exhaled. I walked into the living room to look for the other guys, but they were no where to be seen. The clock on the wall told me it was four in the afternoon, so I assumed they were all out.

 I looked at the glass bowl that held all of our keys. I walked over to it and grabbed mine out. 

 No.

 I released the keys back into the bowl. I was done with going around in circles with Chloe. If she wanted to get back together, she could come over and tell me herself. Chasing her around for the past year had gotten me one thing, and that was a more distant relationship with her than I started with. 

 I heard the door open and looked around the corner to see Niall and Calum entering the kitchen.

 "Hey, Louis. Glad to see you finally awake." Niall laughed, and more pain shot through my head.

 "I had way too much to drink last night and I'm feeling it now, so if you guys could please keep it down." I sighed, sipping my water.

 "Sorry." Niall apologized.

 "What happened last night?" Calum asked, lifting himself onto the counter and sitting down.

 I put my glass down, considering not telling him. Niall already knew about my back and forth chase with Chloe, hell, he was involved in it. But letting someone else in just didn't seem like a good idea right now. 

 But something inside me, probably the alcohol, told me that trusting Calum wasn't such a terrible idea. He was trustworthy, and he was going to be touring with us soon enough, so I had to learn to trust him eventually.

 "Chloe went on a date." I said.

 Niall's eyes got wide and he exchanged a glance with Calum.

 "With Keaton." I added, clenching my jaw.

 "Woah, wait a second. Keaton as in Keaton from Emblem3?" Niall gaped.

 I nodded.

 "Damn." Niall mumbled.

 Calum looked at us questioningly and Niall explained everything that happened last year, and why Chloe going on a date with Keaton was such a big deal. At the end, Calum just shook his head, his eyes wide.

 "Hey I know how we can get Chloe off your mind." Calum told me, his eyes lighting up and a small smile creeping onto his face.

 "How?" I asked, eager to know.

 Niall looked at Calum and he nodded at him.

 "Dude no way." Niall smiled.

 "Hell yeah." Calum replied.

 "What? What is it?" I demanded, confused by their lack of information.

 "Come on." Calum said.
