Best For You

To think things couldn't get much worse, Louis and Eleanor broke up. Louis was just really upset at first, but now he's been grumpy, and he's already been moving on to different girls. I am completely disgusted with Louis right now. I absolutely love Eleanor, and I know Louis does, too. They tried really hard to make things work, but it's just too hard. Louis is gone nine months of the year traveling. I just wish they could of worked things out.

I taped my knuckles against the boys' hotel room door. Romeo opened it, when he opened the door wider I didn't see any of the other boys.

"Where is everyone else?" I asked.

"They're with Simon." Romeo answered.

"Oh," I mumbled.

Nice of them to tell me!

"Want to watch a film?" Romeo offered. I nodded.

We had been spending more time together. Usually, late at night, Romeo and I will text each other and sneak into each other's hotel rooms. Sharing a bed platonically, falling asleep together, but separating in the early morning. At first I was hesitate, but I have been having such a hard time sleeping.

I sleep better with him.

We went to a sofa and Romeo found a film on TV. We watched the movie quietly. It was boring. Yet, everything felt mundane now. I don't notice my eyes start to flutter or my head start to wobble. I don't notice falling asleep on Romeo. Therefore, I don't know he falls asleep either.

I don't think either of us had realized.

Until our eyes both shoot open after the door slams. The first thing I see when I wake up is Louis, Liam, Harry, and Niall standing over us. My legs had spread out on the sofa, Romeo had hardly stretched out, but his forearms were resting against my calves, he was sleeping on my legs.

"What is this?" Louis asks, furrowing his eyebrows.

"It was an accident." I promise.

Louis lectures us briefly about out rules, no romantic relationships until we turn sixteen. We are in the public eye now, it's too early to start marking our reputation.

I find it hypocritical, we sang love songs, but were expected to have no experience?

Louis was overreacting, but I forgave him. He'd lost Zayn and Eleanor.

Later that night, Romeo had come to my room, so we went out on the balcony, standing next to each other, looking down.

"What do you think will happen with One Direction?" Romeo asked.

There was a dim light, but I still couldn't see his face.

"I don't know." I answered, quietly.

"Do you think the boys can manage without Zayn?"

"Well, I know they definitely won't say they can't!"

"That's true. You know you're old enough to chose who you can live with. You don't have to go."

"I never said I was leaving." I am confused.

I am telling the truth, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it. I just don't know if I can be here that much longer. Being on stage is just too difficult. Wrong.

"You have this thing going for you, Tegan." He interrupted my thoughts. "You aren't going to leave that, too, are you?"

"I don't know." I stare his figure.

"I don't want to lose you." He moves closer to me.

I don't know what came over me, but I grabbed his face, and pressed his lips against mine. It started in many short kisses, but gradually heated up. His tongue moved with mine. We've kissed many times, but never like this. I couldn't describe the feeling, it felt like symphonies, and fireworks. Our lips barely pulled away.

"Romeo," I breathed out. "This is-"

"I know," he pulls away for a second. "I don't want to stop yet."

We continue kissing, but our bodies stay distant.

We don't have enough time to pull away after we hear the screen door open.

I know we look like deer in the headlight when we turn toward Louis. He is standing on the balcony. He swallows.

"Okay, we need to have a talk!" Louis blurts.

Romeo and I exchanged a quick glance.

"What do you need to say?" I ask.

"We should go in private." Louis folds his lips.

"No!" I argue. "Don't treat Romeo like an outsider."

Louis throws his hands in the air. "Well, you guys- you guys can't do this."

"You're overreacting, Louis. It was just a kiss." I argue.

"Tegan, don't. Go inside, now." Louis points to the door.

"You can't tell me who I can and can't see!" I defend myself.

"You are going to ruin your career, Tegan! You're going to ruin your life! You're only fourteen years old, give yourself some time!" Louis lectured.

"I'm almost fifteen!" Louis laughed at me. A humorless laugh. "It doesn't matter what you say! We love each other, and that's it!"

"Love?" Louis raises an eyebrow, glancing at Romeo.

I can't help but look at him too. I try to apologize with my eyes, in a way Louis won't notice. I don't know why I'm arguing or lying.

"You are young, you are very pretty, he is handsome and charming, but you guys cannot hurt each other." Louis' voice goes soft.

"We care about each other."

Louis snickers.

"I should go inside." Romeo finally speaks.

Where was this wave of silence years ago when he was utterly obnoxious all those years ago?

I let him leave. After the door shuts, Louis speaks again, "I know you think you know what's best for you, but you don't. The girl I thought I loved at fifteen I'm not with anymore. You think you love him now, but you don't."

"I'm not you, Louis!" I remind him.

"You can't see him like that, Tegan."

"What, do you forbid it?" I remark, sarcastically.

"You'll understand someday." He squeezes my shoulder, for a minute I thought I saw sympathy in his eyes.
