*Louis' POV* 🦔
•3 years later•

"C'mon Harry we're gonna be late," I yell, my voice echoing through the house

"Coming," Harry responds walking down the stairs

Currently we were on our way to watch a play that June was staring in. Despite the break up between her and Niall we all had managed to stay friends after high school.

I had graduated college the year prior and had managed to get a teaching job at an elementary school in town as a music teacher.

Harry would graduate soon too and he already had a internship at a law firm set up.

Since we were both doing well we actually had decided to move in together in a 2 bedroom apartment.

Liam and Zayn had actually gotten married last year. We all thought it was a bit soon but they had been crushing on each other since middle school so it didn't feel soon for them.

And unfortunately Niall was still pinning after June ever so quietly. We all knew it was unhealthy especially since it had been 3 years since they last seriously dated but he just couldn't get over her. They had constantly been off and on but now it seems they were off forever

June moved on. She had been dating the same guy for almost a year now. We all hated him. He was extremely arrogant and rude. He constantly treated June badly and we all hoped she'd get out of the relationship soon.

Despite the shitty relationship June was pursuing her dreams of theater and this was actually gonna be her first big show

"You look nice," Harry tells me kissing me as he does

"You too," I respond pecking his lips before pulling away

"C'mon we have to pick Niall up," I say

"He's coming to this? Aaron's gonna be there though," Harry says walking towards the door

"Ugh, don't remind me. And so what? June is still his friend more than Aaron ever will be," I say pointedly

"Settle down there, I complete agree." He says stepping into the drivers seat

"Good." I say following in suite

We arrive at Niall's apartment shortly after and he's waiting for us outside.

"Hey guys," he says as he walks into the car.

Harry acknowledges him then begins the drive to the theater.

"Hey Nialler, ready for the play?" I ask sweetly

"Yeah, I'm excited for June. She deserves it." Niall says quietly

Ever since the break up it's rare you hear Nialls old loud self. He's more quiet and conserved now. It really had us all worried

"Speak up, Niall," Harry tells him sternly

"Harry!" I say disapprovingly

"What?" Harry asks

"He's gentle!" I tell him looking back at Niall

"Bullshit he is. Listen Niall. It's been 3 fucking years. I know you loved her and maybe she loved you too. But watching you numb yourself to everything. I can't stand it. If you really do still love her. Go after her, because if you don't you'll just become a sad old man." Harry tells him seriously

"You really think I should?" Niall asks self consciously

"Yes! Best case scenario you guys get back together. Worst case scenario she rejects you and you finally stop pinning after what could've been and you can began to really heal." Harry tells him eyeing him through the rear view mirror

"Fuck it. I'm gonna do it," Niall says his voice building in courage

"Really?" I ask him excitedly

"Yup. I need to know. Fuck Aaron," Niall says loudly

"Yeah, Fuck Aaron!" I say hyping him up

The rest of the car ride consists of Harry further convincing Niall and me loudly supporting him.

When we finally arrive at the venue, Niall practically runs out of the car.

"Niall! Wait she's busy! Do it after the show!" I yell after him

"I can't wait that long Lou!" He says still running towards the venue.

I turn to look at Harry and he just smiles proudly as we park the car and begin to walk inside.

*Niall's POV*

I run through the crowd of people trying my best not to shove anyone.

I reach the door to head to the dressing rooms when a huge guy stops me.

"Only cast members buddy," He says stepping in my way

"Shit! Please I just gotta talk to one of the cast members really quick," I say trying to reason with him

"Listen, my only job in this whole operation is to keep people out of the dressing rooms. How would I look if I failed at the one thing I was hired to do?" He asks crossing his arms

"Please, my soulmate is in there and I just need to confess to her before I lose the confidence," I say literally prepared to get down on my knees and beg

Before he can say anything someone pushes against the door and he has to move to let them through.

When the person finally emerges I realize it's June who's already in her full costume and makeup

"Niall? Hey what's up?" June asks looking up at the security guard and pulling me away to talk privately

"June I really have to tell you something. And I know it might ruin us, or whatever's left of us. But I have to tell you because-" I begin to explain before being interrupted

"Niall, wait before you say anything you should know. Aaron proposed," June says looking everywhere but my eyes

"What did you say?" I ask bracing for heartbreak to overtake my body

"I said no, Niall. Because when he got down on one knee I couldn't help but wish that was you. Honestly, I don't think I've ever gotten over you. I don't think I ever want to get over you," She says finally holding eye contact

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" I say feeling happier than ever

"I still love you Niall. And I want to date to again, and not that on again off again thing we had before. Just forever on," June confesses

I smile wider than I have in years and I bring her in for a kiss. And although it's our first kiss in years it doesn't feel strange or foreign

It feels like returning home after a long trip.
