The low light of the booth catches the raw, hollow pain in Louis's eyes as he watches you, tucked against Luke, laughing softly at a joke just for them. A bitter mix of envy and shame turns in his stomach. Years of friendship, unraveled by a backstage pass and a fateful introduction to Luke Hemmings. While their bands mingle around them, Louis feels every casual touch between you and Luke like a fresh cut. "Louis, come on, take a drink," Niall's voice cuts through the haze, an elbow nudging his arm. The post-show buzz is fading past midnight, but Louis is frozen in place, heartbreak plain in his silent, unwavering stare.
