put a little love on me -niall horan-

chapter xxix

-Niall's POV-

It stung really bad when Jasmine didn't talk to me at the restaurant. It hurt more that she was hanging out with Zayn. I don't know if it was jealousy. I mean, I know he's with Gigi, but still. You never know.

The thing is, I've been preparing a huge surprise for Jasmine to win her back. An all-or-nothing plan. I ran it by Harry, and he said he was really proud of me. I hope she likes it. Little does she know I'm slowly releasing it piece by piece.

I just don't know when to reveal the whole thing. I'm super nervous. If this fails, I don't think there's anything that can make Jasmine give me another chance. If she still doesn't talk to me after this, she definitely has moved on for good.

My second single is dropping today. I'm so nervous to see if Jasmine comments on it. I want her to tell me what she thinks, but my biggest fear is that she'll hate me for it.

-Jasmine's POV-

"Jas, you have to listen to it!"Harry exclaimed over FaceTime.

I leaned back into my pillow on my bed. "Harry, stop. I'm not listening to Niall's new song. I don't care."

"You will care. Please, just listen to it once,"he insisted.

I peered at his face on my screen. "Why are you so adamant about this?"

"Look, just listen to the song and then call me back. You'll understand everything,"Harry said before disconnecting the call.

I sighed, opening the Music app on my phone. I typed in Niall's name and saw Put A Little Love on Me. 

My stomach dropped. Put a little love on me... I remember that phrase. I reached back in my memory and remembered when I said it. In San Fransisco. Wow.

I nervously tapped on the song, and it started playing.

We fight, we get high holding on to love
We came down 'cause there was nothing holding us
Is it wrong that I still wonder where you are?
Is it wrong that I still don't know my heart?
Are you all dressed up but with nowhere to go?
Are your tears falling down when the lights are low?
Another Friday night tryna put on a show
Do you hate the weekend 'cause nobody's calling?
I've still got so much love hidden beneath this skin
So darling
Put a little love on me
And put a little love on me
When the lights come up and there's no shadows dancing
I look around as my heart is collapsing
'Cause you're the only one I need
To put a little love on me

By the time it ended, I was in tears. No matter how much I try to get over Niall, it still hurts to think about him. Every single time, it hurts. This song is so beautiful...

I remembered Harry told me to call him back after listening to the song, so I took a few seconds to compose myself and then called him.

Harry immediately answered the call. "Did you listen to it?"he asked.

I nodded, wiping at the mascara under my eye. "Yeah, I did."

"Looks like it hit you hard,"Harry said, looking a bit concerned.

I laughed lightly, shaking my head. "Yeah, just a little bit. I don't know."

"Well, how do you feel about the lyrics?"he asked.

"They're very personal, that's for sure. I was surprised hearing his words. He expressed his feelings so openly..."

Harry smiled lightly. "Well, I need to get going, Jas, but you should speak to Niall about it. I think he'd really like that."
