Cupid's Chokehold
Chapter (I honestly have no idea so just pretend this is the number I'm on I don't feel like checking)
MARIAH’S POV
Soon after Stevie and Niall left, Louis knocked at the door. I opened it and he smiled.
“Well look who’s dressed all nice for the Tommo,” he said and I laughed.
“Would you rather me go change into sweat pants and a hoodie?” I asked.
“Either way you’re beautiful,” he said and I felt myself blush.
He grabbed my hand and led me out the door, not giving me time to grab a light jacket. We had planned to just go for a walk around central park because it’s so nice being there late at night. We sat down on a bench and I shivered a little bit. Even in late spring it’s still a bit chilly at night.
“Cold, love?” Louis asked and I nodded.
“That stinks,” he said and I scoffed. “I’m kidding!”
He took off his sweatshirt and gave it to me, still chuckling. After I put it on, he put his arm around me, pulling me closer to him.
“Can I tell you a secret,” he asked me.
“Yeah, sure,” I said.
“The boys and I all saw Stevie and you on YouTube for the first time together but I actually saw a video of you by yourself doing a Twitcam,” he chuckled. “I saw it months before the other guys and I even met.”
“Really?” I chuckled. “Was it the one where I got bored and started singing—“
“You gotta strut like you mean it, free your mind. It's not enough just to dream it. C'mon c'mon get up when you feel it it's your chance to shine. Strut like you mean it, c'mon c'mon c'mon,” he sang.
“Shut up,” I whined. “I was what 16 when that happened? And I was bored.”
“It was hilarious,” he said and I stuck my tongue out at him.
“Shush, child,” I said and he made a face.
“I’m older than you,” he said and I sighed.
“I just can’t win can I?” I said and he laughed.
“Probably not,” he said.
We just hung out really, talking and laughing. After a while we heard a familiar loud laugh not too far away. I turned around to find Niall and Stevie, hand in hand, Niall obviously laughing at something Stevie said.
“Ready for a double date?” I asked Lou and he looked at me, confused.
“Hey guys!” Niall said. “Didn’t expect to see you two here.”
“Neither did we!” Louis chuckled.
We all talked for a moment and headed back to me and Stevie’s hotel. Stevie was looking around through old things and pulled out a piece of paper.
“Hey Mar,” she chuckled. “Remember this?”
STEVIE’S POV
After going back to the hotel with Louis, Mariah, and Niall, we were all goofing around and looking through old stuff Mariah and I had with us. I found a really old note in my jacket pocket and looked at it.
“Hey Mar,” I chuckled. “Remember this?”
“Oh my God,” she said, looking at the note. “This is from when I was having trouble with that kid!”
“Yeah I know,” I said.
“What is that?” Niall asked.
“It’s an old note,” Mariah said. “Stevie read it.”
I cleared my throat dramatically and started reading the note. “Dear Mariah. I know you’re having trouble now and I don’t know if this will help or not, but I want you to remember, when I somehow get famous and take you with me; he’ll wonder why he ever played those games with your head. He’ll wish he stayed good friends with you and never lied. You’ll be better off, with loads of people chasing after you just because they want a hug or a “hello” and then they’ll probably never see you again. You’ll get an amazing admirer who’s famous and he’ll turn into your boyfriend (I’d use a name but what if someone finds this? LOL). The best part is you’ll forget about him but he’ll never forget about you. You’ll be successful and have a great boyfriend and he’ll be feeling like you now. I’m sorry if this makes things worse, I tried, but I think you need to know that things can get better from here. They can and they will.
From Stevie.”
