Chapter 3
"Well that was good!" Morgann said streching.
We had just finished Avengers, and 2 hours and 15 minutes later it was 7:25 am. Time to start the day.
"I'm gonna go take a shower." I said sniffing my shirt and rinkling my nose. "Yeah. Now I'm going for sure."
Morgann smiled and nodded. Wow...did I stink that bad?
"I'll make eggs!" She shouted after me.
"We just had bacon!" I replied, confused.
"Yeah, two hours ago! White girl gotta eat!" She yelled.
I rolled my eyes and continued up the stairs. Since we might be meeting Louis I opened my new bath gel from Bath and Body Works and took a sniff: ahhh...Sweet Pea. A classic.
I took off my clothes and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around me. I tip-toed into the bathroom (because the floor was so cold...duh), and turned on the water. I jumped in and relaxed as the warm water beated down on my back.
"Everytime we tou-ou-ouch I get this kind of ru-u-ush!" My phone loudly rang. I grabbed my towel and climbed out of the water. The phone number was blocked but I answered it anyway.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Meet me at Nandos at 7:30 pm." A raspy british voice said.
"Who is thi-"
Before I could finish my sentence the stranger hung up on me. I mean really? Who calls somebody they don't know, tells them to meet them somewhere, and then freaking hangs up? Not normal people I'll tell you that!
Oh well, time to finish my shower.
~~~
Twenty minutes after my weird phone call I was ready for a day of finding Louis...I should make that a movie..."Finding Louis"...whatever.
I put on a pair of patterned shorts, tucked in a white tank-top, and then put on a sweater one of the same colors as the shorts. I pulled my hair up in a pony-tail (letting my wavy hair be how it was) and put a cute little white bow on the side. Last but not least my sparkly Vans!
I walked downstairs and was instantly greeted with Morgann and Hunter...making out. Ew.
"Hey! Let's keep it PG up in here." I stated, grabbing an apple and taking a bite.
Morgann and Hunter broke off their kiss, both of their cheeks reddening with embarrassment
"Well, hello to you too." Hunter grumbled, so I nodded my head in his direction.
"So, I got a weird phone call today...this guy told me to meet him at Nandos at 7:30... should I go?" I asked.
Hunter and Morgann looked at each other, sharing the same look.
"I don't know." Morgann said as she grabbed my apple, took a bite, and then replaced it in my hand.
I gave her a glare...she probably just got all of her and Hunter's mixed spit on my apple. Gross.
"Yeah, Morgann's right. I mean what if this guy wants to, like, rape you." Hunter added.
"What am I...the rape target today? He's not going to do anything, just like nobody did anything this morning." I replied as I finished off my apple.
Hunter looked from me to Morgann in confusion.
"I'll explain later." Morgann said.
"Will you guys come with me?" I nervously asked.
They sighed but nodded. I jumped for joy (literally) and then hugged them.
"Time to start the search for Louis!" Morgann replied excitedly.
I took a deep breath and followed her out the door. Today was the day...I could feel it.
~~~
I stood on my tippy-toes as I looked around Nandos.
We had had terrible luck looking for Louis today and now it was 7:30 so I was waiting for Mr. Creeper to show up.
Morgann and Hunter were having a heated argument about where to go for their date tonight, so I thought I would look around since I could care less what they do.
Having no idea what I was even looking for, I sat down on the floor and took my phone out of my pocket: seven Twitter notifications, and thirteen Facebook friend requests.
I looked at all of them and after I friended about half of the people I went back to looking for the mystery guy. I was just about to get back up when some idiot tripped over me and fell face first.
"Hey! Watch it!" I yelled as I sat up on my elbows. Seeing what happened, Morgann and Hunter were quick to help me up.
"Sorry." The guy mumbled. He had a his hood up, so I couldn't see what he looked like.
I rolled my eyes and turned back to my friends. The guy walked away and sat down at the bar. He never seemed to loose interest in me either: sneeking glances at me, and one or twice I'm pretty sure I caught him staring.
I needed to know what was up, so I walked over to him.
"Okay." I started. "What is your problem? First you trip over me and now you keep looking at me. Is there something I can help you with?" I said my voice becoming more and more impatient.
The guy slowly lowered his hood and I instantly recognized him. "Y-y-you're L-l-l..." I studdered before he clamped his hand over my mouth.
He made a "sh" motion and then let me go.
"You're Liam Payne!" I whispered. Liam nodded and sighed in response. "Wait, were you the one who called me?" I questioned as he put his hood back on.
"Before I tell you, are you Chloe Thomas?" Liam asked his eyes flitting around, probably looking for insane fans.
I squinted my eyes in suspicion and nodded slightly. He mumbled something under his breath and his eyes widened.
"Why? What's the big deal?" I replied, very confused.
"You. You are the one Louis never shuts up about. 'Chloe said this one time. It made me laugh so hard'." Liam said making his voice go higher. "Are you ok? You look like you might throw up?" He added putting his hand on my shoulder.
I nodded and swallowed down the nausea building in my throught. So it was true. Louis really did remember me. My brain just couldn't process it all.
"W-w-what does he s-say?" I asked, barley able to get the words out.
"He just talks about how you guys were best friends and how he misses you." Liam responded, a smile spreading on his face.
*FLASHBACK*
"And now...The X-Factor season seven finale..." The announcer said as he drew out the silence for dramatic effects.
I was sitting in a hospital, watching my former best friend nervously pick his cuticles. I smiled at the bad habit he had developed when we were in high school. The memories all flooded back to me.
I sighed and turned up the volume.
"In third place...One Direction!" The crowd went wild and I smiled in my hospital bed and clapped loudly.
A passing patient saw me and looked at me like I was insane. Normally I would have told them to mind their own business but I was too happy. They finished announcing the places and showed some behind the scenes footage. My heart started racing as they showed the night of the robbery. They brought in each of the contestants and showed it to them...the first was Louis.
"What was going through your head when all of this happened?" The female host asked.
"Well Lorri," Louis started. "My best friend happened to be in the room at the time, so of course I was scared out of my mind." He replied.
My heart sank. I had to contact him.
"Were you not scared for yourself?" Lorri questioned.
"Not at all. If Chloe was hurt I was going to find her and be there for her. I would take a bullet for her." Louis said, simply as if he was saying "hi" to one of his friends.
"Wow Louis. Anyone would be lucky to have a friend like you. What happened to her?" Lorri pushed. The way she kept digging made me want to hit her.
"I'm not sure. I went to the hospital she was at and saw her before they wheeled her away but we lost touch." Louis answered with a far away look in his eyes.
I could feel unshed tears pricking at my eyes.
"That's all the time we have left with Louis. Is there anything else you would like to say?" Lorri asked.
"Yeah: Chloe if you're out there, please contact me. I hope you saw the win and if we make it big I might never see you again so please keep in touch." Louis begged his accent thick.
"I'll try Louis. I love you." I whispered.
I didn't actually love Louis. Well I did, but in a brotherly way. I had to turn off the T.V. after that because I was almost in tears.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"You still there?" I looked up and tried to focus on Liam and his question.
I nodded and told him I had to go.
"Wait! Here. Take my phone number, text me, and then ask for Louis's number. He's going to be so happy. Do you want him to meet you somewhere tomorrow?" Liam finished.
I thought for a second, but nodded.
"Tell him to go to this address." I said as I scribbled it down on a peice of paper.
"Okay. Nice meeting you Chloe." Liam said on his way out.
I awkwardly lifted a hand and then went back to my friends. He was nice.
"What was that about?" Hunter asked.
"I dunno. Let's just go home." I replied as the need to sleep took over my body.
