Traces of Your Touch (An AU Fanfiction)

Chapter 12

Aria sat on the bench by the lake and waited for Louis to arrive. She wondered if he was playing some sort of a prank on her. He was, after all, one of the populars. And he did have a whimsical sense of humor.

He was running late and that meant Aria wouldn't get much time to study for the quiz tomorrow. She sighed and sat with her legs crossed, foot kicking slightly. She looked out at the lake, as it glittered from the moon light. It held a serene, eerie sort of beauty which made Aria long to have someone by her side. It can get lonely being single.

She wished she had someone to share all her problems with. Someone who would hold her tight as she cried. And someone who would make her laugh when she was feeling down.
Someone like Louis.

The thought came from nowhere and shook her to the core. Where had that come from? She was definitely losing it. Louis and her? How ridiculous was that?

She stared back at the lake, sighing and wrapping her arm around her knees. A minute or two passed when Aria got a distinctive feeling that someone was watching her. Her hands turned clammy. She quickly turned around to see if anyone was there, and got frightened when she saw a silhouette of a man leaning against the tree.

Aria scrunched up her eyes to properly see who it was, when the silhouette moved away from the shadow and stepped forward. Aria let out a breath of relief and laughed at herself when she saw Louis, who had his hands crossed against his chest.

"Jesus! You scared me there!" Aria scolded Louis gently, putting a hand over her chest and laughed.

Louis smiled back at her before saying.

"You looked peaceful. I didn't wanna ruin it."

Aria smiled up at him before patting the space next to her on the bench, indicating that Louis should sit there. Louis obliged and sat himself beside her, turning to look at her with a smirk on his face.

"So..." Aria stretched, before continuing. "Why'd you wanna meet up when you could be enjoying yourself at the party?"

Louis looked away and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly before replying.

"I don't know. Don't feel up to it, I guess."

"Well, you didn't feel up to it the other day either. What's up with that? I mean you have a lot of friends and you're popular. So aren’t you supposed to party all day and all night?"

Louis just laughed at Aria's innocent assumption and asked, "Who gave you that idea?"

"I don't know. I guess you guys just look like you enjoy yourselves when you party. I just assumed that's how it is with you."

Louis just smiled at her and Aria thought she saw a tinge of sadness in his eyes. They stared at each other for almost a minute before a shrill noise broke their trance. Louis cursed under his breath before reaching for the phone from his pocket.

He looked at the caller id and sighed before receiving the phone.

"Hey man. What's up?...No. I left the party 15 minutes ago......I'm at the park by the lake....Yeah. I'm with Aria..........Hello? You there?........Oh. Alright......Cool....We'll be ready."

He finished and put the phone away.

"Who was that?" Aria asked with a scowl on her face.

"Harry. You know the one you were referring to on the balcony?"

Aria's eyes literally bulged out. As if she needed reminding who Harry was. But what had he said? What would who be ready for?

"What did he say?" Aria asked timidly, trying not to freak out.

"He said they were heading to his place. Just a couple of friends. And that he's picking us up in 10 minutes." Louis finished, getting up now.

"Wait. Who do you mean by us?" Aria was seriously freaking out now.

"Well. You and me, of course." Louis answered, frowning at Aria's obvious panicky tone of voice.

"Hold on! I can't go to his place!"

"Why not?" Louis asked confused.

"Well... Because...because..." Aria was stuttering now, trying to look for a good enough reason to decline the invitation. She didn't trust herself to go there without making a fool out of herself. Plus, she didn't have her friends to back her up if something went wrong.

"Because, I've got that quiz tomorrow!" She finished, happy to be able to come up with something reasonable.

"Well, we'll stay for half an hour at Harry's and then I'll drop you off."

Aria felt her smile falter at Louis' insistence. She said the first thing that came to her mind.
"I can't, Louis. My parents'll be worried." She mentally high fived herself, before continuing with a smile. "I'm sorry. I really I wish I could though."

Louis genuinely looked disappointed and Aria felt guilty for lying.

"Alright then. I'll ask Harry to drop you off at your place when he gets here. And before you refuse, I just wanna say that it isn't safe walking back home at this time of the night for a girl. And even if you refuse to take the ride, I'll walk you home."

Louis finished and started to walk away so that Aria couldn't reply back.

Shit.
