"SERIOUSLY stella, why did you drink so much?"

"shhh, your voice is piercing my skull."

louis rolls his eyes and flicks the brunette's forehead. "serves you right. who told you to challenge shawn mendes to a drinking contest?"

stella shoots him a look. "dude. i had to find out what kind of drunk he is. like the curiosity has genuinely been eating me alive."

the brunette boy just laughs in response and turns his attention back to the sky. the two are laying down on a patch of grass in an open field. louis took them both there after taking some medicine for their hangovers (mostly stella's).

they've been spending the better part of the last hour pointing out different clouds and laughing about what they look like. ever so often, stella will glance over at the boy beside her and admire him in silence. that light smile on his face as he peers up at the blue sky and those brown eyes that hold so many stories, so many emotions.

in that moment, it seems like a lost cause. getting over him. it's as if every single time she sees him, she falls just a little bit harder, just a little bit deeper.

it's excruciating.

"stella," louis calls.

she turns to him, humming.

he holds out a dandelion to her, a charming smile on her face.

"make a wish."

stella's heart thuds in her chest. she manages a snort.

"seriously?"

"seriously."

he waves it in front of her, and she can't resist a smile. she takes it, their fingers brushing ever so slightly. their eyes lock for a second and then they both turn away. stella holds out the dandelion in front of both them.

"let's make a wish together," she says.

he smiles lightly. "alright."

louis scoots in closer to her, the heat of his body warming stella even through her clothes. they both close their eyes. unbeknownst to them, they both use their wishes on each other.

stella wishes that one day she will be able to move on from the boy beside her.

louis wishes that the girl beside him will never feel the weight of heartbreak ever again.

and when they open their eyes and blow away the dandelion, they turn to each other with matching smiles. stella can't help the flutter in her chest as she gazes at him, and it breaks her because she knows he doesn't feel it.

wanting to get rid of her thoughts, she turns to louis with a mischevious grin. in response, he sends her a wary look.

"hey, lou. are you still ticklish underneath your armpit?" she asks innocently.

louis's eyes widen as she comes closer. "stella, don't you fucking dare—"

but she's already lunging forward and sticking her hand under his armpit. louis shrieks and try to move away, but stella just laughs and keeps tickling him.

"STELLA YOU JERK!"

she lets out a maniacal laugh, but immediately stops when she notices the smirk appearing on louis's face. he grabs her hand and starts to move toward her, but she quickly releases herself from his grip and gets up. she starts to run through the open field, louis following suit and chasing her.

they both laugh, stella running faster and louis matching her pace. he's too quick for her. within seconds, he catches up to her. his arm slides around her waist as he pulls her toward him. her hands go to his chest as she looks up at him laughing.

he grins down at her, his arm holding her just a little tighter. louis's gaze travels over her face. her pretty brown eyes and her pretty smile that lights up her entire face. as he watches her eyes twinkle and her dimples carve into her cheeks, louis's smile slowly fades. his heart stops in his chest.

an adorable frown paints stella's face when she notices. "what?"

louis just shakes his head, ignoring the feeling telling him that the earth is shattering around him. he lets go of her and forces a smile.

"how about we get some food, yeah?"

stella doesn't notice his sudden mood change and just grins.

"yes! i'm fucking starving."

she turns and starts walking back to her car, leaving louis behind to collect his thoughts and get his heart to calm down.

THEY are on the roof of louis and william's apartment, eating their food and watching the stars in silence.

it is odd, the comfort in not having to say anything and yet the longing of wanting to hear the other's voice.

"you've changed," louis murmurs quietly.

stella frowns, turning to look at him in confusion. "what do you mean?"

he shakes his head slightly and smiles almost sadly.

"you grew up," he says in a tone that makes stella want to hug him. "and somehow i missed it happen."

stella sits up straighter in her chair. "lou—"

he suddenly looks at her, eyes filled to the brim with emotions that stella cannot even begin to process.

"i'm sorry," he says ever so quietly. "i'm sorry for not being there, stells. when everything happened with your ex and for not being there when you were growing into an adult. you've gone through so much, and i should have been there like i promised you i would."

stella's breath catches in her throat because she didn't think louis remembered the promise he made her years ago.

it was when she was twelve and he was fourteen. she had just gotten her period for the first time, crying in her school's bathroom because of the stain on her uniform. she found louis waiting for her outside with his jacket and a comforting smile on his face. he didn't make her feel awkward or uncomfortable at all. just handed her his jacket and smiled that pretty smile and told her he had two sisters.

stella had started crying in embarrassment, but louis just held onto her and consoled her. something had prompted her to clutch onto him and demand that he promise that he would always be by her side and never leave her alone ever.

and so, he promised, and stella fell harder that day. of course, she didn't realize it then. not at twelve. but perhaps that was the day stella truly fell for louis partridge.

stella doesn't blame louis for not being there. he was busy with his newfound fame and so was she. they barely had any time to talk to each other after their careers took off, and that's neither of their faults.

"you've been there for me, louis," stella tells him with a light smile. "you've always been there for me. ever since i was a kid. whenever i feel like i can't do it and want to quit, i just think about you and what you would say in that moment. you can do it, stells. i believe in you. i hear your words in my head, and things don't seem so hard anymore."

louis swallows, glistening eyes trailing over her face. he moves forward and wraps his arms around the brunette girl, burying his face in the crook of her neck to prevent her from seeing the unshed tears in his eyes.

stella's hand runs up and down his spine in comfort, but all it does is make louis more confused about why his heart is beating so fast.

the two stay like that for a long time, unknown longing coursing through them both.
