CHAPTER 46
LOUIS'S POV
Ok so maybe I lied about having a girlfriend. I only did it so Harry would trust me around Angie, and so Angie didn't feel awkward. Everything with my fake girlfriend was going fine until Harry started questioning me. I panicked under pressure and started describing a carrot. I couldn't help it, it was the only thing on my mind.
"Louis, is your girlfriend a carrot?" Harry asked while we were in the car. I thought we were done talking about her!!
"Uhh yeah." I said quietly.
"I'm sorry, what?" Harry turned off the music, and leaned in closer to me. Man this is awkward.
"Yes Harry my girlfriend is a carrot. Is that a problem?" I tried to shrug it off.
"Kind of! Louis the only reason I'm ok with you hanging out with Angie is because I thought your heart belonged to another girl. This changes everything." He then smacked his forehead and wouldn't look at me.
"Harry I don't love Angie anymore. I promise we're just friends." I may have just said that so he'll trust me again, but the more I say it, the more I convince myself.
"I don't Lou. This just sucks, ok?" Harry spoke softly.
"Harry I don't know what to say besides I'm sorry." I pulled into the parking lot of water park, and stopped the car. We both sat in silence as I stared at him, and he stared out the window. Clearly, neither of us cared about the swimming. We both wanted to finish this.
"Louis why did you lie? Why couldn't you have just told me that?" He asked.
"Because I knew you wouldn't believe me Harry." I said slowly.
"Well I'd rather think the truth is a lie, then think a lie is the truth." He sounded annoyed now.
"Well I can't change what I did Harry. I just need you to look past this, so we can continue to be friends." I tried.
"Me, or Angie?" He snarled.
"My friendship with you is way more important then my friendship with her. I value you as a friend way more than Angie. You are actually the most important in my life Harry. I know I don't say this enough, or ever, but I love you. I know that may sound gay or whatever, but you know what I mean." I said softly.
Harry turned his head towards me and flashed his toothy smile at me, causing me to laugh. "I love you too Boobear!" Hearing those words made me smile like a fool.

"Thank you Harry." I reached over, and hugged my bestfriend. "If it makes you feel any better, I won't talk with her. I'll never call, text, or hangout with her."
"Louis, it's okay, you don't have to do that." Harry said as he opened the car door and walked out. I quickly opened my door and followed him out there.
"I just don't want things to be awkward between you and I. Just tell me when I cross the line." I pulled open the door to the water park and walked in. I think it might have slipped my mind that we weren't wearing a disguise, and we're in public.
As soon as we set foot in the building, a girl yelled, "LARRY STYLINSON!" then about thirty other girls from some sort of birthday party screamed, then ran over to us. Since it wasn't that many, and I was looking forward to swimming, Harry and I braced ourselves.
"STOP!" I yelled. Surprisingly all of the girls stopped. I didn't really expect them to stop, so I didn't have anything planned to easy after that. Awkward.
"Make a line. We'd be happy to take pictures and sign things for you, as long as you guys stay calm." Harry said. Wow, that actually sounded great!
The girls quickly made a formed a line. It wasn't the neatest line because there was lots of pushing and shoving to get to the front, but it would do.
"I love you both so much!" The first girl said to us.
"Thanks babe." I said, making her blush like crazy. All I had to do was say babe, or love, and girls melted. Weird, I know.
"How can you love us, if you don't even know us?" Harry asked.
Oh no, this isn't good.
"Well, I read things about you guys online and in magazines. I also watch interviews, and concerts. I feel like I know you guys." She smiled.
"Yeah well most of that stuff isn't true." Harry spat at her.
If this is only the first girl, this could not end up going well.
"Sorry." She mumbled, then walked away.
Another girl walked up and just smiled. She was actaully quite cute. I couldn't really tell how old she was because she was wearing a bath suit. I know that wearing a suit should make it easier to tell age, but this made it harder. "How old are you love?" I expected her to say somewhere between 15-18 but she didn't.
"Today is my 13 birthday." She smiled.

Wait what? How could this girl be 13?
"Then it's your lucky day today! You're coming on an adventure with us!" Harry yelled. He grabbed her wrist, and we literally ran as fast as we could out the door. I didn't really know what was happening, but I had no other choice but to run.
I fumbled with my keys as I tried to unlock the car. "Louis hurry up!" Harry yelled. I managed to unlock the car and climb in before the fans caught up with us. As soon as Harry and that mystery girl were in, I locked the doors and threw the car in reverse.
As soon as we were out of the parking lot, I decided that it would be wise to get to know this girl. “So what’s your name love?” I asked.
"Cindy. Listen I'm like a huge fan of you guys, and I know I shouldn't question it, but why did you kidnap me?" She said laughing.
"Because you're chill." I said smiling.
"Alright, so what are we going to do today?" Cindy asked.
"No Cindy, the real question is, what won't we do today?" Harry blurted out.
"Haha ok Harry. Anyways, is there any chance that you boys have some clothes I could borrow? I don't really want to go out in a bathing suit." She laughed.
"No, but we can stop off at my place. I've got some trackies that I've grown out of, and a couple of tight tank tops that would fit loosely on you. Is that okay?" I said. Cindy was quite petite so I knew anything of mine would be big, but I don't think she would care.
"Yeah that sounds good." God she was beautiful. I think maybe I liked her. Is that weird for me to like a 13? Is that even allowed?
"So tell us about yourself." I said as I parked the car infront of my place. I ran around to Cindy's door and opened it for her. She blushed slightly, then asnwered my question.
"Let's see, today I turn 13, which you already knew. I have lived in London all of my life; about 10 minutes from here. I'm not very popular at school, but I've got one bestfriend that I can always count on. Her and I are huge directioners, but we're not the creepy ones. I've never tweeted you, or like stalked you. I have a life outside of one direction; unlike most directioners." Her voice was lovely.
"What's your favorite song of ours?" Harry asked.
"Well I really like Stand Up, but I love them all. I listen to the entire album every morning when I get ready for school. It's the perfect amount of time." She blushed.
"Speaking of school, why aren't you in it?" I asked her.
"Well, it's my birthday. My friends and I decided to ditch."
"How many?" Harry questioned.
"Like 15." She replied.
"Don't you think it's a little suspicious?" Harry asked as I dug through my clothes to find some smaller ones.
"It didn't really ever phase me." She laughed. I tossed her some clothes and she smiled.
"Bathrooms down the hall babe." I informed her.
She thanked me, and then left the room.
"I'll let you know when you cross any lines." Harry said flatly.
"Huh?" What was he talking about?
"Our discussion before we were mobbed." He laughed.
"Oh right! Well I don't think you'll have any trouble with that..." I said trailing off.
"Oh yeah? Why is this?" Harry inched towards me.
"I think I like Cindy." I couldn't help but smile.
"Dude she's like 7 years younger than you." Harry looked disgusted.
"You're one to talk Mr. Flack." I joked.
He smiled then playfully hit my arm. We were both laughing when Cindy came back in. I think I should ask for her twitter and phone number. I just hoped she wouldn't think I was creepy.
"So Cindy, what's your twitter?" Harry asked. Gee could this guy read my mind?
"@CinderellaWells22. You guys don't have to follow me though." She pulled out her phone and typed away on it.
"Already following you." I smirked.
"Why is it Cinderella?" Harry asked.
"That's my name." She blushed.
Wow that's so cool to have the name of a princess! I decided that I would tweet about because I'm so cool. I clicked the twitter app and saw that I had a mention from Harry. Oh no.
"@Harry_Styles- Watch out @CinderelaaWells22 I think that I know someone that wants to be your prince. *Cough* @Louis_Tomlinson *Cough* *Cough* Hahahaha !
Then I saw Cindy had said,
"@CinderellaWells22- HAHA that's funny @Harry_Styles but there is no way @Louis_Tomlinson will ever want to be my prince."
I quickly tweeted back-
"@Louis_Tomlinson- Don's be so sure of yourself @CinderellaWells22 !!! :)"
I slipped my phone back into my pocket and looked at Cindy who was smiling and laughing.
Perfect.

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.
8 136Divine Intervention Online
Vin is an ex-slave who wields sacred knowledge to demand freedom for his people. Seth is a reluctant player stuck in a game that is set to last 200 more years. When their paths converge, even the false gods will take notice. * * * Hello and thank you for giving Divine Intervention Online a chance. This is not my first book (that honor belongs to The Flock by Chris Sauter- available on Amazon). This is hopefully going to become my second book, the first of a planned LITRPG trilogy. This is a labor of love, dedicated to my absolute obsession with the LITRPG genre that has held me in its grasp for over 3 years. There will be dark situations that perhaps only adults should read including: slavery, violence and the results of war. There will be no harems, little profanity, but possibly some triggers for people who don’t like torture, violence, and other dark stuff.
8 191My second life in a fantasy world
Important Announcement: English is not my first language, sorry for the mistakes After living a long life on earth, it was finally time to leave, bedridden in a hospital, surrounded by a large family, between sobs and sad goodbye glances, bearing many memories, some good, some bad, funny moments, sad moments, happy moments, tragic moments, I finally closed my eyes and plunged into the abyss of darkness and what awaited me on the other side was ... An old ex-mercenary hungry for adventure is reincarnated in a world of swords and magic, with no trap powers, just his own strength, wits, and outlandish friends. P.S. I am a totally amateur writer, I write just for fun, I am working on illustrations with another person, I plan to put one on the cover of each chapter reflecting its content. At the moment I already have partially assembled the story, I just need to polish a little, the rhythm in which the chapters appear may vary. The original version in Spanish can be found here for the curious https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/250682744-mi-segunda-vida-en-un-mundo-de-fantas%C3%ADa
8 109Casa do Diaño: The Fool
As Thomas Hobbes once said, "Humans are driven by a perpetual and restless desire for power." Given the heavily moral standards society has placed on its inhabitants for centuries, it's no wonder many people deny their internal need to be in control of something. "Oh, we do not want to rule the world at all! We just want to live happy and die happy!" Of course, the irony there is that, by wanting a happy future, you are actually projecting your own desires and opinions into what the world should be like. Hence your inner monarch banging his/her scepter for all their subjects to hear. Though to be fair, this is a pretty small, small example. Why settle for small? Why not go the extra mile and become that vicious monarch pounding his scepter at his feet? This is the story of a young man by the name of Genghis Dillinger Boy. There are quite a few words that can describe Genghis. Anarchist. Libertine. Criminal. Psychopath. He has denied the moral standards society has set for him and constantly lives his life seeking more and more power. Once an unexpected turn occurs in his life, he uses it as an excuse to burn his bridges and move him and his bride to a mysterious island known as Casa do Diaño. Genghis vows to burn the old world to the ground and watch as his brand new world arises from the ashes. But what if he's biting off more than he can chew? After all, monsters like Genghis are not the only kind of monsters lurking in the House of the Devil...
