Once at home, she set up the cage in the garden; her brown, wavy shoulder length hair falling over her face as she did so. She walked back into the house after she finished. “Mum! I’m going to pop out to the supermarket!” she yelled up the stairs to her mother. Her mother walked down the stairs. “All right, but don’t forget to pack, you’re going back to school soon.” Her mother replied, referring to Rachel’s Jewish Boarding School. She was going back to her boarding school in 2 weeks. “Mum, it isn’t until 2 weeks!” she exclaimed. Remembering, her mother laughed and patted her on the head. “Of course, well alright then, just be back before lunch.” She laughed as she walked to the kitchen.

At the supermarket, Rachel stood still in front of the vegetables and fruits. After a while, she chose to take some carrots for her new rabbit. She started to select some carrots and put them into a bag, when a voice from behind her startled her: “Are all those carrots for you?” She turned around to see a tall boy with blue eyes and light brown hair standing behind her, a goofy smile on his face. “Yes, I’m a bunny; I eat carrots for breakfast, lunch and dinner.” She joked. The boy laughed. “I like you. My name’s Louis by the way.” He smiled. “I’m Rachel.” She replied.  “And I like you too.” She laughed. 

She started to walk further into the supermarket; the boy seemed to follow her. “Hey, uh, Rachel, say, would you mind showing me around town? I’m new here, you see. I’ve just come to visit from England.” He asked her, standing in the middle of the isle, with his hands in his pockets, looking completely lost. “Of course no problem, I know Pittsburg like the back of my hand.” She smiled kindly.

The rest of the day, Rachel and Louis roamed around town together, laughing and talking. “I’m actually quite hungry; do you know any good places to eat?” Louis asked randomly as they walked down the main shopping street. Rachel thought for a second. “Uhmm, yeah. There’s a really good Italian place down the street.” She suggested.  “Okay, let’s go then!” Louis exclaimed excitedly, causing Rachel to giggle.

The two sat down at the Italian restaurant and ordered food. They talked as they waited for the food and continued to laugh and joke around as they ate. Rachel started to like Louis more and more as she learnt more about him. At the end of the meal, Rachel made a move to grab her wallet when she felt a hand on hers. “Don’t worry; I’ll cover it, lovely.” Louis said, winking as she looked up to see who the owner of the hand was. They left the restaurant and Louis walked Rachel home. At the door, they said goodbye, Louis gave Rachel his number and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

The two continued to meet up all week. The day before Rachel was due to leave for boarding school; she met up with Louis and decided to tell him that she was leaving.

 The two were sat on a bench in the park. Rachel had her head on his shoulder. The two were quiet for a bit, Rachel fiddling with the string from her hoodie. “Lou.” She said quietly, looking up at him. “Mm. What is it Rachel?” he asked, looking down at her. “I’m leaving for boarding school tomorrow. “ She said quietly.  Louis was quiet for a bit. “Then, I think I should say this to you now, I guess.” He sighed.

 Confused, Rachel sat up and looked Louis straight in the eye. “Tell me what?” she asked.  Louis took a deep breath before answering. “Rachel, over this past week I’ve fallen for you. I just can’t hide it anymore and I just want you to know that before you leave.” Rachel sat there, speechless. Suddenly it all came to her. She had fallen for him too; secretly, she had been hoping he would say this all along. “Lou…. I think I’ve fallen for you too.” She said quietly, a half smile on her lips. Smiling with relief, Louis leant in too kiss her. Their lips met and Rachel swore she saw fireworks.

Rachel and Louis kept in touch all year and when Rachel came home for the summer, she had a nice surprise waiting for her at home; Louis had come back to Pittsburg to see her.

Rachel and Louis

hey, meet me at the entrance in twenty. xx 

my heart sped up as i read the text from my best friend louis. i’d been in love with him for the past year, but i hadn’t wanted to ruin our friendship by telling him. i slipped my phone into my pocket, and put on my boots. we were going for a day trip to the amusement park, and i couldn’t wait.

“rachel!” louis yelled over the crowd. i spotted him and ran over to him. he gave me a giant hug and a kiss on the cheek. “i bought our tickets already, now let’s go go go!”

louis was quite the child, and it was hilarious to watch him run into the park. first we went on the carousel, where he very carefully chose his horse. then came the go-carts, where we crashed into each other and seemed to be endlessly racing. we bought cotton candy and ate it until our tongues turned blue. last but not least, lou wanted to ride the ferris wheel.

we ran towards it, the fall leaves crunching beneath our feet. we got in to our seat, and there we went. up, up and away! suddenly, as we were on the top, it stopped! we got confused and saw that no one was getting off.

“folks, we have some technical difficulties going on with the ferris wheel. it seems as though the generator has shut off. we’re not too sure how long the wait will be, but it could be anywhere from ten minutes to an hour. hang tight!” the park manager said into a megaphone. i groaned, but louis was excited.

“look at the view we get up here rachel!” he said excitedly. he was right, the view was fabulous. you could see all the trees with their changing leaves, and the whole park was lit up with excitement.  from his giddiness, louis started swaying the seat back and forth accidentally.

“louis! stop!” i hated the feeling of dizziness that it brought me. he grabbed my hand and lightly kissed it. i felt the butterflies in my stomach.

we started talking. about everything. about school, about family, about louis wanting to audition for the x-factor, everything.

“you know, there’s this girl,” louis said suddenly. my eyes widened. “i’ve liked her forever but i didn’t know how to tell her. and now, i feel like i’m ready.”

“who’s the girl?” i asked, my heart sinking into my stomach, tears prickling at my eyes. i knew it.

he put one hand on my face and tucked my hair behind my ears. “it’s you rach. it’s always been you.”

he leaned in to kiss me.

finally. finally it had been me.

I just want to take a moment to tell you about this really special girl. She happens to be my best friend, the other pea in the pod, my “sister”, a fellow Backstreet Boys lover, and so much more. She’s absolutely beautiful, on the inside and out. Literally, whenever I see her smile, it brightens my day. When I’m in the middle of a boring class, I can look up at her or skype her and she always can make me feel happy. I have never seen someone so driven in my life. She works so hard and puts 110 percent into everything. With GSA, Carrot Project, school work, and helping out with friends, she can always provide her best effort. I’m really not sure how she does it. Beyond being my best friend and all of that, she’s a hero in my eyes and a role model. I can’t thank her enough for being a part of my life and making me strive to be a better person. She’s one of the reasons I’m where I am today. If you haven’t figured out who this is, it’s Rachel. Rachel, I love you so much. Don’t ever change. You’re wonderful and lovely. I’d write you more, but I have homework to do, and you have been telling me to do it for a while, so I’m going to get to that. But, you’re the best, honestly. <3

Louis and Rachel

Rachel (scoobysnack) and Louis “Hi! I’m Rachel, and I hear your looking for employees!” Rachel said. She was applying for a job at a practical joke store called Sillie Timez. The manager smiled. “Yes we are! Just give me your resume! My name is Shelley!” Shelley said, taking the resume. “I’ll phone you in the next week or so, okay?” Shelley said. “Okay, thank you so much!” Rachel said, smiling. She really wanted this job, so she stayed in the store a little longer to “look” at the new store. “Wait a minute! I just took a quick glance over your resume!” Shelley said, as she walked quickly over to Rachel. “Yeah?” “You fit the bill! Welcome! You are now an employee at Sillie Timez!” Rachel covered her mouth with her hands. “YOOUR SERIOUS? OH MY GOODNESS! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!” Rachel said, shaking Shelley’s hand. Rachel was putting whoopee cushions one day at work, when three very attractive guys came in. “We gotta prank Niall good! I mean we’ve succeeded in the past…” Said the boy with brown eyes and a plaid shirt. “We gotta get him really good!” The curly-hair boy added. “Well, let’s see what kind of pranks and silly things this place has!” The boy with the striped shirt replied. Rachel couldn’t keep her eyes off of the boy with the striped shirt. He had this look of mischievousness look in his blue eyes, but there was also a sweetness to them. “Excuse me love, but could you help us out?” The curly-haired one asked me. “Oh hello! Sure I can! W-what can I help you with?” Rachel turned around startled. “Uhh we’re trying to pull off a brilliant prank on our bud Niall, do you know of any good pranks?” The boy in the plaid shirt asked. “Sure! Can I get your names?” Rachel asked. “I’m Liam!” The boy in the plaid shirt said. “This is Harry, and Louis!” Liam said, pointing to the curly-haired boy and the boy with the striped shirt. “Okay! Nice to meet you all, I’m Rachel!” Rachel said, grinning from ear to ear. Rachel explained all the good pranks she knew of. A couple of them sent the boys in hysterical laughter. The four of them had a great time laughing and playing with the toys. The boys had paid for the toys when Louis asked. “Would you mind helping us pull off this prank tonight, Rachel?” There was a sweet glimmer in his eyes. “W-why of course! H-heres m-my n-number!” Rachel was shaking. She thought Louis was joking at first! “Don’t be shy lovie!” Louis said, taking the slip of paper. I still was shaking a little. “We’ll be in the car Lou…” Liam said, knowing that Louis was trying to do. Harry and Liam said good-bye and left the store. “I’m serious! Come tonight for a night of fun. I’d personally LOVED it if you came!” Louis said. He took my hands and squeezed them. “Seriously? Okay, well thank you!” Rachel said, smiling. “Alright! I’ll call later! See you tonight!” Louis said, then giving Rachel a kiss on the cheek. “Yeah! F-for sure!” Rachel said. And this, was the start of a beautiful friendship

Louis and Rachel

“I mean…why would he break up with me?” Rachel said quitely as she looked over at Quin. “did I do something wrong?” She sniffed into her hand as she tried to control herself from crying. They were in a public place after all. Quin looked over at Rachel with a mix of frustration  and sadness for her friend.

She placed her hand gingerly on Rachel’s shoulder and smiled sympathetically at her best friend. “you didn’t do anything Rachel, he’s just a jerk” As she was about to continue her s peach of forever hating Adam, they were interrupted by the sound of a guy clearing his throat. They both looked up and found a pair of sea foam blue eyes staring intently back at them. “Hi! Sorry to bother you but I couldn’t help but notice that you were crying…are you okay love?” He asked with a bounce in his voice and Rachel couldn’t help but smile. “Uh…yeah I’m fine” she laughed softly to herself and looked down, continuing to pick at her sleeve. “Well babe, if you were okay you would look at me with your beautiful face” he said cheekily. Rachel and Quin both looked at him in shock, who was this guy and was he hitting on Rachel? “Don’t look shocked, you’re beautiful” He said as he grabbed a chair from the other table and sat down next to Rachel. “I’m Louis by the way” he smiled as he took Rachel’s hand and shook it as she still sat there a bit shocked. “What about yourself?” he asked the two girls. Quin finally came back to her senses and cleared her throat, “oh well, I’m Quin and she’s Rachel.” Louis smiled back towards Rachel “I love your name” Rachel giggled and blushed, looking down towards her coffee. “Come on Lou!” they all heard and snapped their heads in the direction of the voice, where a tall boy with curly hair was waiting impatiently. “Oh well that’s my cue!” Louis said as he stood up from his chair, he turned to look at Rachel ”I was wondering if I could get your number, maybe grab some dinner and a movie this Saturday?” He asked boldly. Quin quickly grabbed a piece of paper a wrote down Rachel’s number “here!” she said as she shoved it in his hands, “she will gladly go on a date with you on Friday” Louis smiled at them one last time and turned around to catch up with his friend.

A few nights later, rachel was laying in her bed cuddling with her giant stuffed scooby doo when her ringtone starting going off. She rolled over in her bed and reached for her phone on her bedside table. She looked at her screen and looked confused, she didn’t know the number. “uh..hello?” she answered. “hello beautiful” she heard a deep but childish voice say. “uh who is this?” she asked as she got up from her bed and sat down on her computer chair. “It’s louis, goofball” she smiled to herself as she silently bit her lip. “well, hey how are you?” “I’m good” he said, she could hear the rustling in the background and figured that he was laying down. “Well, listen rachel I was going to ask you out on a date” he took a deep breath and Rachel was nervously tapping her foot. “Well, more like a double date. My mate, Harry and his girlfriend will be joing us” Rachel giggled and turned herself around in her chair “yeah, I would love to  go out on a date with you” “Awesome!” Louis exclaimed. They ended up chatting for about 2 hours and that night, as Rachel finally fell asleep, she fell asleep with a smile on her face and without a worry in the world about Adam.

Saturday afternoon came around and Rachel was putting the finishing touches on her outfit. She was wearing some skinny jeans and a green flowy top with her brown hair pulled halfway up with a small diamond pin. She looked at herself in her mirror on more time before grabbing her handbag and running downstairs to wait for Louis to arrive. As she busied herseslf around the house, picking up some toys from her younger sister and putting them in their place, she heard the doorbell ring. She ran to the door and before she opened, she checked herself in the mirror by the door. “perfect” she said to herself. She swung open the door and smiled as she saw Louis looking more handsome than ever. He wore a black striped tshirt with a pair red bottoms. “Hello, lovely” he smiled at her and kissed her cheek. “You ready to go?” he said as he motioned to the waiting car. Rachel closed the door to her house and Louis took her arm and pulled it through his, walking her to the car. He opened the door and she slid in and smiled out the window at him as he ran to the other side and got in. The boy who was driving turned around and smiled at Rachel. “hi! I’m Harry and this is Zoey” Harry nodded towards the gorgeous blonde girl who was sitting next to him. She turned and smiled at Rachel and Louis “nice to meet you, rachel” she said as she smiled approvingly towards Louis.

The date that Louis had planned out for Rachel was more than she had expected. They went to an amusment park and rode every single ride. She hadn’t had this much fun in months. Louis was a gentleman and held her hand in between rides and he would stare straight into her eyes as he spoke to her. As it became dark, Louis had lead her to the ferris wheel where once they stopped at the top, he put his arm around her and cuddle close to her. Rachel could hear his heart beating and she looked over to the people. They looked so small and so out of ordinary. “This is such a beautiful view” she said breathlessy. “I know…the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen” Louis said, she looked up at him and smiled when she noticed that he had been staring at her all along. “I’ve had a lot of fun” rachel said as she trailed her fingers on his thigh. “Me too…but it would be more fun if you’d let me kiss you” She sat up and looked at him and nervously picked at her bracelets. “Would that be okay?” he asked as she got closer to her. She shook her head in agreement and Louis leaned in and kissed her softly. She giggled sofly as she tasted the cotton candy on his lips. His hands were holding her chin, holding her ever so softly to him. As they parted ways, Louis had a big grin on his face and the ride started up again, he reached for her hand and held it tight. It was only the beginning.

Rachel and Louis

Rachel’s one shot with Louis.

 Rachel flips through her math blindly not really paying attention to anything that is written in it. She is not really into the whole math thing she would rather be in Nando’s eating and possibly looking at cute boys. After another few minutes of staring at her math book she pushes away from the table and heads out the door and down the road. She knows where she is going before she even turns towards the area; she is heading to her favorite restaurant Nando’s and then off to Milkshake City. 

                                       ** 

 After Rachel leaves Nando’s with her food in hand she walks to Milkshake City to get a milkshake and then she will go home to pig out. When she walks through the door she has to stop because of a large group of girls standing in front of the door.

“Excuse me!” Rachel yells. “I would like to get a milkshake so move, please.”

 Girl move out of her way when they hear her tone of voice; Rachel walks to the counter confidently not minding the stares at all. When she gets to the counter she orders her usual and then leans against it to wait for it. She knows there are people standing next to her but she doesn’t care enough to turn and look until someone laughs and bumps into her. Rachel looks up about to give whoever it is hell for bumping into her but all her bitchiness disappears when she sees the bright blue eyes of Louis Tomlinson.

“Sorry love,” Louis says quickly. “It is getting a bit crowded.”

“It’s fine,” Rachel replies quietly. “It is hard not to bump into people when there are a ton of people in a small place like this.”

 Louis grins and walks away from Rachel; leaving her smiling and giggling to herself. When she turns back around her milkshake is sitting there waiting for her; Rachel thinks about staying and trying to talk to Louis again but in the end she decides to leave. Rachel walks out the door humming to herself and slowly drinking her milkshake. When she has made it about ten feet down the road she is stopped by someone yelling at her. She turns around to see Louis running after her; she stands off to the side smiling and waiting for him. When Louis gets to his side he puts his hands on his thighs and takes a few deep breaths. After a while he stands up straight and smiles at Rachel widely.

“Hello again love.”

“Hi again Louis,” Rachel replies happily. “And call me Rachel that is my name by the way.”

“Okay, well Rachel I was wondering if I could be a very lucky guy and get your number?” Louis asks.

“I don’t know,” Rachel replies slowly. “Give me one reason why I should.”

“Well I could help you with your math work,” He says pointing to her math book in her hand.

“Good enough for me,” she laughs.

 Rachel gives her number to Louis and then he says he must go but he will call her as soon as possible; kissing her on the cheek Louis smiles and then runs off. Walking away on her own Rachel smiles to herself and mumbles,

“Maybe math isn’t that bad after all.”

Louis and Rachel

Your sitting at the park bench, waiting for your date. 6:25, he’s 10 minutes late…, you say to your-self, is he standing me up? No, he couldnt, Louis would never do that to me. A couple minutes go by and you’re starting to get knots in your stomach, then you hear the sound of someone running, and then you see Louis “I am so sorry, I got held up with traffic” he said sounding very dissapointed “It’s okay, as long as your here now” you say smiling. You stand up and Louis starts to bite his lip “Wow, you look amazing” you start to blush “Thank you” you say smiling, and you turn away starting to blush even more. “Lets go over to the hill, i brought the stuff for our picnic” You both grab hand and walk to the top of the steep hill.

You both snacking on carrots, and sharing you stories about what happened during the week. You’re both trying to shoot grapes into each others mouths, and you end up hitting Louis in he head, and your laughing hysterically “Oh my god i’m sorry boobear” but you can’t keep a straight face as you continue to laugh “I would appreciate it if you didn’t laugh at me” He says trying to intimidate you “Oh really?” you say cocking one eyebrow “Really” he said trying to make a straight face, but ended up laughing.

Louis the picked up a handful of grapes and started throwing them at you, You scream and you run down the hill, and Louis chasing after you. You both fall and land beside each other. you both look at each other, and smile, then look up at the clouds and hold hands.

Saving Us

‘Keep calm, Rachel, keep calm.’ I repeated to myself as I walked along the path which ran through the park.

It was a crisp autumn evening, with the sky a shade of pink and brown leaves covering the floor which crunched under my feet as I took steps closer to Louis who waited for my arrival on the park bench. I ran my fingers through my shoulder length brown hair nervously, I hoped I looked okay. I had ran out of contact lenses so I had to wear my glasses over my brown eyes, hopefully Lou won’t mind.

I didn’t really understand why I was this nervous about seeing Lou. We’ve been best friends for years, we met in secondary school and although he went to the x factor and got put in the boy band and is now know as ‘Gorgeous Louis Tomlinson from One Direction’ he is still plain old Lou to me. Our friendship was put to the test when he became famous but we are stronger friends than ever.

..Friends.

I thought we were friends but totally out of the blue Louis asked me to go on a date with him, as more than friends. He said if it’s to weird for me and I think it is better as friends that is fine with him but he would really like to try it as more than friends. He told me had has always really liked me but at first he just thought it was a small childish crush but as we grew up and gotten older, his feelings for me grew as well.

I had never really thought about being more than friends with Louis, I personally thought I am more of a sister to him, a sister to his four younger sisters and a daughter to his mum Jay. I get on really well with all his family.

The past few nights I have been tossing and turning in bed, I’ve been having so many dreams about Louis and I. Some are beautiful; we’re together, loving, laughing and living, our lives bright and full of opportunities but others are disasterous; we date for a short while and we break up on really bad terms and it mentally kills us both. It’s all dark colours, showing how depressed and how our lives are unlived, we also hate each other. I do not want that to happen. I can’t think of what my life would be like with out Lou, but I know it would be absolutely awful.

‘Hey Rach!’ Louis stood up as I approached the bench he was sat upon.

‘Hey Louis,’ I smiled warmly.

‘You look lovely,’ he said as he looked me up and down. ‘I really like your glasses, you should wear them more often.’

‘Aw thanks Lou! You’re looking smart yourself and do you think? I don’t like them very much..’ I admitted.

We walked, hand in hand, around the park. We kicked the piles of leaves and rolled down the hills, like complete children but I didn’t care what we looked like to others I was having one of the best days I have had in a long time.

‘Wow Rachel, I am so glad I plucked up the courage to ask you out. Considering we are best friends, I thought I would have scared you off but it seems to have had the opposite effect! You haven’t stopped flirting with me!’ Louis accussed.

I giggled, ‘I know I have been, I usually do I’m just not that good at it!’

‘We you’ve got me hooked, lined and sinkered Rach,’ he smiled pulling a leaf out of my hair.

Our fingers linked once again and we walked across the field where there were other couples like us and groups of people playing football, we headed towards the duck pond at the bottom. We walked along the end of the pond till we got to the bench were we sat. There was a young mum with a pram and a toddler, must have been about 3 years old, feeding the ducks near us.

‘Could be you one day Rach!’ Louis joked.

‘Oh yeah right,’ I laughed. ‘I’ll stick to volunteering and animals for now and anyway who would be the daddy?!’ I asked.

Louis didn’t say a word, he just gave me a cheeky wink.

‘JOSEPH! Joseph come back now!’ The mum shouted.

Mine and Louis’ heads looked up to see her little boy, Joseph, on the other side of the gate he must have managed the squeeze  through the gap in the gate and he was running towards the pond.

‘NO!’ She screamed and Joseph ran into the slimy green water.

Louis shot up from his seat and began running closer to where the family was, I followed. He threw his coat on the floor and leaped over the fence.

I tried to calm the woman down, ‘It’s okay! It’s okay, look Louis’ going to get him. Joseph will be okay!’ I repeated as I stroked her arms.

She was in a terrible state, sobbing loudly. Even her baby girl in the pram began to cry.

Louis jumped in the pond and swam towards Joseph who was splashing in the water, drowning. He grabbed hold of him and made sure Joseph’s head was above water level so he could breath.

‘It’s alright, it’s okay! I’ve got you.’ Louis said to Joseph.

I climbed over the top of the gate and ran towards the two of them, taking my coat off as I did so. I wrapped it around Joseph awkwardly as Louis carried him back to his mother.

‘Oh my god, thank you so much!!’ She exclaimed as she took Joseph from Louis’ arms, ‘I can’t believe you just did that, you have no idea how much I owe you. Thank you so much!’ She gushed.

‘It’s okay, it was no problem at all. I couldn’t exactly let him drown.’  Louis said as he wiped the slime from his eyes.

The mum thanked him over and over again and even tried to offer Louis money as a reward and as a thank you.

‘I can’t take this, honestly I’m sure anyone else would have done the same. My reward as that the little fella is alright.’

I picked up Louis’ coat and placed it on his shoulders, ‘Oh my goodness Louis! That was incredible. you just saved someone’s life you know?! You’re like super man.’ I gushed.

‘It was nothing Rach, just imagine if it was our little boy!’ He said, the last bit slipping out.

‘What?’ I asked although I heard him perfectly.

‘Oh erm.. nothing.’ Louis blushed.

‘Imagine if that was our little boy..’ I repeated. ‘I’ve been imagining lots of baby Tomlinson’s for a while now.’ I smiled.

Louis returned the smile and I leaned forward for our first ever kiss. It was everything I had ever imagined. I had not only found a boy, but a boy of my dreams and someone who was my best friend. I know it might sound stupid now as we are only young, but I can really imagine us spending our lives together and having lots of little tommo’s. Having him as my own saved me.

Hakuna Matata

I drove into the parking lot, feeling quite proud of what I was about to do. Not only was I going to get a new best friend, but I was going to be saving his/her life in the process. I exited my car and took a deep sigh as I walked into the animal shelter. This is it, I thought. This is the day that one of those dogs will be saved from a possible death. Hakuna matata for that lucky one.

As soon as I entered the animal shelter, my confidence level decreased as I saw what a terrible place I had just gone into. No offense, but it literally did look like a jail for animals, as one of the vounteers showed me into the room where they held the dogs. Row upon row were the most gutted looking dogs I’ve ever laid eyes on. I felt so terrible with each passing pup because in my heart, I wanted to just adopt them all and tell them hakuna matata.

“You seem pretty gutted, seeing all of these dogs, aren’t you?” called a voice from behind me.

I turned around, only to find a very attractive blue-eyed brunette wearing stripes and Toms just a few feet away from me. I walked over to him, leaving my volunteer guide and said:

“Yeah. They just all look so sad is all. I mean, it’s not their fault that they’ve been cooped up here. I’m Rachel by the way.”

I held out my hand for the brunette to shake and he did with the most amazing smile ever.

“Louis,” he responded. “I’m looking for a dog as well and I’m having a tough job choosing one. Care to join me?”

I nodded my head yes and Louis and I went around the shelter in search of our new friends. Each dog that we came across looked a bit more perky than it was before gracing our presence, probably hoping that one of us would get it ouf of that hell hole. But each time we’d leave a dog to look at more, it would slump back in lethargy, which would always make me sad.

Minutes later, we came across this really adorable Lakeland Terrior that put a smile on my face the instant my brown eyes came in contact with it. I put my hands on the cage and  as it jumped up and down, I felt an instant connection with the dog. I looked over at Louis to see what he thought and he was smiling at me.

“What?” I asked.

“This is the dog, isn’t it, Rachel?” He asked back. “I can see it in your gorgeous eyes how much joy it’s bringing you.”

As he said that, he shifted closer to me to the point where we were shoulder to shoulder. I looked up at him and smiled.

“You’re right, this dog’s the one. Hakuna matata for him,” I said in a sort of daze as I watched the Lakeland Terrior with glee.

“Hakuna matata? Like…The Lion King?” Louis asked, quite confused.

I chuckled a little and slapped Louis lightly on the shoulder before saying, “Yes, silly. Like the phrase in The Lion King. Hakuna matata…it means no worries.”

“Oh! Well in that case, you should name him Hakuna Matata. It suits him and the situation that he’s in as well,” Louis suggested with a smirk.

“Hm…maybe I will,” I said, smiling back.

Twenty minutes later, I happily walked out of the animal shelter with Hakuna Matata in my arms and Louis walked out with a Paron Russell Terrier that he called Kevin. I was about to leave his side and walk over to my car when I felt his hand on my shoulder.

“What is it?” I asked as I faced him.

“Um…I know that this is quite random and such, but would you like to take our dogs on a walk together someday?” he asked.

“You mean, like a date?” I asked, quite taken aback.

“No, no no!! It doesn’t have to be a date if you want. It can just be two friends walking their dogs together and possibly having lunch as well,” he responded quite nervously.

“No, it’s fine Louis. I’d love to go on date with you,” I cleared out whilst blushing.

At that, Louis spontaneously planted a kiss on my cheek before saying, “Well then, I’ll need your number, love.”

I laughed as he said that and seconds later, gave him my number. As I left his side and went to my car, I thought about what we’d just done together. Louis and I spent two hours together to find a couple of dogs at the shelter so they wouldn’t die. Hakuna matata…no more worries for these dogs, and no worries for our blossoming friendship to bloom into maybe, something more.

Rachel and Louis

The wind was blowing very hard that day. You were walking back to your apartment from getting some coffee to help wake you up from studying for your test that you had had that morning. You had decided to go to college in England because you wanted to try something new and meet new people but the whole time you’ve just been working and going to school, not what you had in mind.

You start to get a little more chilled and tighten your scarf around your neck and put on your gloves. Right then a gust of wind hit you and your hat goes flying off. “SHIT!” you scream as you try to chase it. A boy sees you and goes to catch your hat before it goes into the street.

“Thank you so much!” you shout as you catch up to him.

“No problem my dear.”

You knew that voice from some where, but couldn’t remember. You look up to be greeted by two sparkling blue eyes and a perfect smile. You go to grab your hat but he moves it away before you can and you begin to get confused.

“You really think I’m going to give this back to you that easily?! You’re going to have to work hard for this.”

You smiled, “And what did you have in mind exactly?”

“Well, you’re going to have to do a few dares to get this back. I mean, if you’re up to the challenge.”

It was better than having to go back to your apartment and study. So you agreed as he thought up your first dare.

“Alright I’ve got it. Go into that shop and run around screaming ‘THE BRITISH ARE COMING!’”

You laugh, “But everyone in there is British!”

“That’s the point! Now hop to it.”

You took a deep breath and looked back at him smiling, “You only live once.” You said to your self softly as you bolted into the shop screaming “THE BRITISH ARE COMING!” at the top of your lungs. People gave you strange stares as you ran back out the door. Louis was laughing so hard he was almost on the ground.

“That was priceless!”

You smiled. You loved his laugh it was so cheerful and full of life.

“One task done, how many more to go?”

He stopped laughing and stood there and though for a moment, “Three.”

You nodded as he motioned you to follow him and end up at an old thrift shop.

“What are we going to do here?”

“I’m going to pick out an outfit for you and you have to wear it and let me post it on twitter.”

“No!”

“Do you want this hat back?”

You thought about it, it was your favorite hat and it did keep you quite warm. Plus it was expensive, your mom had given it to you as a going away present so you reluctantly followed him inside. He found the most ugliest sweater with bunnies and carrots on it then pants that were 5 sizes too big and were pee green. then to top it off, some shoes with velcrow on them. You went into the changing room and put them on while Louis waited for you. Once you were dressed you came out and he smiled. You pressed on one of the bunnies and it said, “Happy Easter!” And then turned around to shake the bunny tail connected to the back of the shirt. You both laughed till your faces went red.

“Alright ready for you picture?!”

“Yes! How should I pose?”

You both decided on the hand of the mouth shocked look with a side view so everyone could see your bunny tail. He tagged you in the post and posted it.

“Now wait till you look at your twitter later and see all your new followers.” He said and winked at you as you went back in the dressing room to change back.

“Okay two more to go!”

“Alright, You have to… do a song and dance in the middle of the park for everyone.”

You looked at him in shock.

“No. No no no. That’s where I draw the line.”

“Awh come on! It’ll be fun. How about I do it with you?”

He looked at you with puppy dog eyes that you couldn’t say no to so you agreed.

You both arrived at the park and you turn to and ask, “What song?”

“Hmmmm.. what’s a good duet song?”

“Well… There’s Endless Love, A Whole New World, Summer Nights, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart-“

“STOP! That’s it! We’re don’t Don’t Go Breaking My Heart! That’s my song!”

You laugh as he pulls out his phone and found it on YouTube. You looked at him nervously but he just smiled at you. People started to hear the music and looked over and some girls realized it was Louis Tomlinson and came running over with phones. Now you had an audience. You took a deep breath and started to sing and soon you and Louis are dancing all around singing while people laugh and video tape. You were having so much fun and then the song ended and everyone cheered. Louis put is arm around you and said, “Shouldn’t she be part of One Direction?”

You laughed as girls screamed and took pictures of you two. After he signed some autographs and took pictures, you both started to walk together again.

“Well, There’s only one left. What do I have to do now?”

“Go on a date with me.” He said with a cheeky smile.

I like the sound of Rachel Tomlinson. (:

“You know that’s not true!” shouted louis getting angrier by the second.

“Don’t fucking lie to me. I saw everything.” I said. I saw my best friend Louis kissing the girl that made my life hell. “Of all the girls in our school, why her? Why did you have to pick her? Don’t you see what she does to me at school?” tears were threatening to fall any second.

“Well maybe I like her. Have you ever thought of that? She is the sweetest person I’ve ever met. You’re just being a baby. And why should you care? Its not like we’re together, its not like you mean anything special to me. So why should you care who I can and can’t go out with?” After he said that I could see in his face he instantly regretted it. But I didn’t care and the damage has been done. Now the tears were falling and I didn’t say anything. Did he really say he didn’t care about me? 16 years of friendship and he didn’t care about me? “Rachel, I-“

“Save it, Louis. I can clearly see that you don’t care about me. Why was I so stupid to think that my best friend of 16 years cared about me? Even though I cared about you. A lot more than you think, Lou. Why would I even think there was a small tiny chance that you could love me back the way I love you. But I’m just stupid to think any of that. Goodbye louis.” I ran out of his bedroom not waiting to see his reaction. I walked out of the house, into the pouring rain, but at this point, I didn’t care.

“Rachel wait!” I ignored his calls and started walking faster. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned me around.

“What do you want now louis? Are you gonna tell me that you don’t love me back? Because I already fig-” I was interrupted by a pair of lips on mine. There were fireworks erupting in my stomach. Kissing louis was better than I ever imagined. After a minute, we pulled away. “Why did you do that?” I asked slightly confused, but still dazed for the kiss.

“It was a good way to get you to stop talking,” he chuckled. “So I could tell you that I love you too. You’re the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. I tried to move on by going with other girls because I thought you could never love me back. I guess I was wrong.” He smiled. “Rachel, will you be mine?” He asked nervously. I don’t get why he was so nervous, I was obviously going to say yes.

“I would love to.” I simply replied and kissed him again. “but if I get sick from this rain, I’m blaming you.” I laughed

“Well let’s go back inside then!” He put me over his shoulder and ran back to his house. The rest of the night was spent cuddling, watching movies, and eating. I have never been happier.

Soup Kitchen

Your helping out at a soup kitchen and you look up and One Direction is in front of you, all the boys are fooling around and pushing Louis towards you. You offer them food and they all deny it and offer to help, of course you don’t say no.

“So, lovely, what’s your name?” Zayn asks.

“My name’s Rachel”

“Nice to meet you Rachel” Niall answers. Harry is whispering in Louis’ ear the whole time and you expect them to just be talking about their whole bromance thing.

You make them all wear hair nets and teach them how to run the line. Louis seems especially shy today, maybe he’s under the weather. Before you know it Harry comes up to you and whispers in your ear, “Louis’s never been this nervous before, you should go up and talk to him.”

You blush and take it into consideration, you don’t know what to say, you are completely in love with Louis and your suppose to just go up and talk to him like he’s some one you go to school with? You finally get the courage to go up and talk to him.

“Hey Louis, How are you? How’d you end up here in a Soup Kitchen?” He stands there shocked by your beauty and he stumbles with his words.

“Oh, you know, ummm I actually don’t really know, we wanted to go some where, where we could just be normal lads I guess..” You nod your head understandingly.

“Oh I see, well you look very nice in your little hair net you go there” He smirks.

“Well so do you…” His nerves calm down and you start a normal conversation, you both open up to each other. The boys come up and offer you a break so you and Louis can talk in private. You walk into the back and sit down next to him. You avoid awkward eye contact but can’t help it and find yourself lost in each other’s eyes. He asks for your phone and you easily give it up. When you have to leave he gives you back your phone. Later that night you check your phone, he changed your wallpaper to a picture of you and him and added a new reminder:

Don’t forget about me __________ (his phone #)

One Shot to Rachel - scoobysnack

I was standing in my grandmother’s little shop when he came in. I lost my breath for a second. It can’t be true! Louis in this little shop! Seriously! I was standing there, awkwardly, and tried not to look abnormal.

‘’Hey, can you help me a bit?’’ Oh.My.God. He just talked to me. Rachel, focus, reply something GOOD.

‘’Sure!’’ okay. It was kinda normal. ‘’What can I help you?’’ I smiled at him.

“I…I just want to buy something special for a girl” he scratched his face “But I don’t really know what to buy”

“Oh okay. What kinda girl? I mean mother, friend, girlfriend…?” SURE Rachel, why don’t you ask him out in the first place? Okay, okay calm down.

“Actually, it’d be to my sister. She really loves these little handmade things” he smiled at me.

“Hmm okay. Does she have a favorite fragrance? Or fruit?” I still can’t believe he is standing just in front of me.

“ She loves apple. Any kinda apple. She is an autumn girl” he laughed.

“Just like me!” uppps.

“Then you must can show me something amazing gift to my little lady” Oh God why he talks like this, it’s killing me.

“Let me see. I love these apple lipsticks. And these candles. Body spray. Recipe book” I smiled. I love all those things. They are amazing.

“ I think I  should buy all. I mean… She’d be really happy.”

“You must be the best big brother all around a world” I laughed at him while I wrapped the things in a bag.

“I may, but I should spend more time with her… and with all my sisters”

“I think they understand it” I gave him the bag.

“Thanks. Did anyone say it to you before, that you are beautiful?”

Blush run through my face “Not really…”

“Then I must say, you are incredibly beautiful.”

“Thank you”

“May I ask your name?”

“I’m Rachel.”

‘’Beautiful girl with a beautiful name. I have one more question…”

“Yes?” I look up at him.

“Can you give me your beautiful phone number too?”

This is the happiest moment in my life.

You and Louis stood in front of a box of puppies that was on the ground in the park. “Should we call animal control?” Louis asked while scratching his head. Your head quickly shot up and you looked at him. “No! We can’t do that!” You shouted. Louis looked at you and bit his lip. “Then what do we do?” Your eyes looked down at the 4 puppies in the box. “Well we CAN’T call animal control because they will just throw these babies into the pound! What we can do is take them to my aunt, the vet, down the street to get them checked.” You explained. Louis smiled and nodded in agreement then picked up the box. “Well isn’t my babe in the thinking mood today.” He said as you both started walking. The two of you laughed.

“Looks like they’re all healthy.” Your aunt said. You smiled and hugged her. “Thank you so much!” You said. She smiled and hugged back,”Anything for my favorite niece, Rachel! Now you better get these pups into a warm home.” “Will do!” You and Louis walked out with a cozy kennel filled with four puppies. “Now what?” Louis asked. You looked at him and bit your lip, thinking. “How about we see if the boys want a pup?” You suggested. Louis grinned and nodded,”Smart idea, babe. But we better keep one for us!” You giggled and picked up a brown puppy from the kennel carefully. “Say hello to our new baby!” You responded. “Tommy Tomlinson!” Louis said, excitedly then pecking your lips softly.
