-Louis-
"Oh my gosh" Chelsea said, looking down from the ski lift as it continued to climb higher "This is super high up. What if it falls?" she asked with a panicked look on her face
"Calm down" I laughed "It's not going to fall. I promise" I gave her a reassuring smile "It's completely sturdy. See?" I shook the small seat slightly as i kicked my legs back and forth
"Louis!" Chelsea yelled, throwing her hands over her eyes "If we die, I'm totally going to kill you Tomlinson"
"Okay, okay" I chuckled, peeling her hands away from her face.
We arrived at the top of the hill. Chelsea's eyes grew bigger as she looked down the large snow covered hill
"There's no way" She shook her head repeatedly "Have fun on this death hill. I'll be inside" She said, turning around to make her way back down the hill
"I don't think so" I stepped on her skis with mine, jolting her to a stop
"Hey!" She said, trying to pull away
"I said I was going to teach you how to ski, and that's what I'm going to do" I said, locking her eyes with mine "You have no choice" I said, a smirk appearing on her face
"Fine" she rolled her eyes "My statement still stands from the ski lift. We die; I kill you"

After hours of Ski-ing-and multiple minor crashes- we all decided to call it quits and warm up inside.
"Is there a spa here?" Monica asks as she sheds her coat off, placing it on the bed her and Chelsea share.
"I believe there is" Chelsea said, picking up a pamphlet that laid on the night stand "Yup. They have a hot springs" She said, showing Monica the paper
"Oh my gosh. We have to go" Monica said, discarding the paper and digging through her suitcase as she looked for her bathing suit
"Fine by me. My muscles are utterly sore..and so is the rest of me" She got up and looked for her bathing suit as well.
"Babies" I sent them a smirk
"Thanks again for teaching me how to ski, Louis. I had fun" Chelsea momentarily looks up from her suitcase to reveal a small smile, before continuing her search
"Found it" she said, closing her suitcase back up.
"You guys want to join us?" Monica said as she emerged from the bathroom, allowing Chelsea to enter it to change.
"Nah" Derek said "You girls have fun."
"You sure?" she asks once more
"Yeah" I replied, "We may head downstairs and play pool or something"
"Alrighty" Monica says as Chelsea exits the bathroom, flipping her toms on to walk to the hot springs. She tossed her clothes on the top of the suitcase
"The boys are going to just hang out while we are gone" Monica informed Chelsea
"Okie dokie" Chelsea said. With that, they exited the room
"Why don't we head down to the lobby" Derek suggested "Find something to do"
"Good with me" I say, pulling myself up off of the couch. I grabbed a room key and slipped it into my back pocket before leaving the room. Derek shut the door behind us.
As we exited the elevator, we enter the large lobby.
"Pool?" Derek pointed to the large pool table that wasn't occupied
I nodded in response. The game was already set up, so we just grabbed the pool que's and began playing.
I bent over the table, preparing my shot. As I do so, I felt the table move the slightest bit. I looked up, and saw that a girl had sat on the edge of the table, right beside me
"..May I help you?" I ask, standing straight once again
"Actually" The girl said, scooting closer "I would love it if you would teach me how to play pool"
I raised an eyebrow and looked a Derek. He just shrugged in confusion
"Do I know you?" I asked
"No..but you look like the type of guy that knows how to play pool...and I've always wanted to learn how to play. What do you say?" she said as she slid off the pool table, now leaning against it with her hip.
"I don't see why not" I smirked, showing her how to hold the pool Que. "Now" I began to instruct
"Louis, can I talk to you for a minute" Derek said, giving me a look
"Yeah sure" I said, unwrapping my arms from around the girl. I walk a couple steps towards Derek before he grabs my arm and yanks me a considerable amount of feet away from the pool table
"What are you doing?" I asked, shaking my arm from his grip
"What am I doing?" Derek said "The question should be what are you doing?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Dude, you came here with Chelsea. You can't be all touchy feely with that girl" he said, pointing behind me. I turned around and looked at the girl. She gave me a smirk and waved
"Derek, I'm not committed to Chelsea. We aren't dating, remember? plus. That girl is smoking hot"
"What is wrong with you?" Derek knitted his eyebrows together in a confused expression "You've tried so hard to win Chelsea over..show her you're not who she thought you were. Are you seriously going to throw that away to flirt with some stranger?"
"Chill out" I said "Chelsea won't even find out. I'm not going to pass up an opportunity to teach a hot girl how to play pool."
"You realize you will probably lose Chelsea over this"
"Quit freaking out. im just having fun." I shook my head "C'mon. Let's go play some pool"
I heard Derek sigh before he began following me back to the pool table
"Now" I smiled at the girl "Where were we?"
-Monica-
"He really is being so sweet" Chelsea smiled as she rested her head against the back of the hot tub "And he was also a very good skiing teacher" she gave me a look before giggling
"That had to be one of the cutest things ever" I shook my head with a smile "You know what would be nice?"
"What?" Chelsea asked
"Some hot chocolate"
"Oh my gosh, yes" Chelsea nodded quickly
"Let's go get some"
We both dried off, throwing our cover ups over our bathing suits
As we head to the lobby, Chelsea took a call from her parents. I went ahead and walked to the cafe to put in our orders while she takes the call. As I turn the corner, I see Derek and Louis playing pool. Louis arms laced around a girls arms as he helps her take the shot. No. Way.
I waved my arms, trying to get Derek's attention. We make eye contact and I give him a furious look as I point to Louis. He just shrugged in response with a saddened look on his face
'i tried' is what he mouthed, making my heart sink. Chelsea would be heart broken...Chelsea, oh no. I turn around and head back to where Chelsea had taken her call- in hopes that I could stop her before she got to the lobby. I stop in my steps as I see Chelsea standing completely still, her jaw dropped slightly as she stared at Louis.
-Chelsea-
Words can't describe how I felt when I saw Louis arms wrapped around that girl. Actually they can. Fury. Pure fury. I can't believe I let myself he had actually changed. It was all just part of one of the stupid games he plays, and i hate myself for falling for it.
Monica walked up to me slowly, she obviously knew what I had just seen.
"I'm so sorry" she shook her head
"It's fine. It was bound to happen sooner or later. I guess it's good it happened now" I said as I kept my vision on Louis, my face continued to harden as I did so. "Let's go back to the room"
"Aren't you going to go confront him?" Monica asked. immediately after she asked the question, Louis eyes met with mine. His expression changed completely
"No. He's not worth a confrontation. I'm done with him"
Monica's face saddened before she gave me a quick nod, following me to the elevator. Before we reached it, I heard two sets of footsteps clattering at a rapid speed down the hall behind us. We both knew who'se footsteps they were.
"Wait" I heard the somber voice say
I ignored his plea and continued my way to the elevator.
Despite our difference in distance, they quickly caught up to us, standing in front of us in an attempt to stop Monica and I
I stared at Louis, my expression rock hard.
"It's not what you think" he shook his head
"No" I uttered "It's exactly what I think it is"
"Chelsea I'm sorry. I-"
"Don't Louis. Just don't" I shook my head as I bit my lip trying to keep the tears in "I was stupid enough to believe you had changed..." I shook my head once again "I'm done with this" I pushed past him and entered the elevator, Monica did the same, closing the doors quickly so Louis couldn't follow
As the elevator slowly climbed the floors, what had just happened really sunk in. I clenched my jaw in an attempt to contain my tears. An almost burning sensation began to happen in my stomach. I tried harder to hold back the water that was soon to emerge from my eyes Monica's arm wrapped around my shoulder. The elevator doors slowly opened and we both walked back to the room in silence.
