Jackie
"I love you, Jackie."
My lips parted in surprise. Did he just…?
I was speechless. No one ever said those words to me before, literally no one. Not even my parents.
He brushed his thumb across my lips and smiled. “You don’t have to say it back, I just wanted you to know that, that’s all. I really love you, but I don’t need you to say it back right now.”
My heart was fluttering and I kissed his hand before he turned me around and pulled me into his chest.
He brought his lips down to my ear and pressed a small kiss there, without saying anything.
I closed my eyes but didn’t fall asleep. Louis was so hard to understand. One moment he slaps me at school, then the next second he stands up for me. Then he takes me to London, then he says that we’re through…then he says he loves me.
