over again// l.s +1D

24

read the authors note at the end!!

I wake up at 2 in the morning because Paul won't stop crying. I get out of bed and make my way over to his crib. I pick him up and sit on the chair in his room and rock him side to side. usually that works but this time, it didn't. 

"What's going on?" I hear Lou ask from the doorway

"Paul won't stop crying even though I did everything to calm him down." I explain

"here.. give him to me." lou says reaching for him

I give him to Lou to see what he had in mind. Louis also did everything but Paul wouldn't stop crying. we call the boys to see what we have to do. they tell us they'll be right over.

15 minutes later, I hear a knock on the door. I go to get it and see three sleepy boys standing on our front porch. I let them in and lead them to where Lou is with Paul. 

"hi boys. any ideas on how to get Paul to stop crying? cause I want to go back to sleep" Louis says getting annoyed.

"here. give him to me." Zayn says. 

Louis gives Paul to Zayn and we all watch as Zayn sits on the chair and starts bouncing Paul up and down a little. that seems to have calmed Paul. Zayn puts Paul back in his crib

"woah. thanks Zaynie. how'd you know he wanted to do that." I ask

"I didn't know he would like that. but keep in mind, I have a younger sister so I was just doing what I did on her and apparently, Paul liked that." Zayn explains 

"well thanks again mate." Louis says. 

"anytime."

We all go back downstairs to talk for a bit since we are all wide awake and I notice Niall just sitting on our couch eating chips. I didn't even see him leave the room. we all just stare at him while he stares at us back. 

"what?" niall says. mouth full of chips

"you decided to go through our cabinets and just get a bag of chips?" I say

"Yeah. im hungry" he says casually

"dude, it's like 3 in the morning. how are you hungry at 3 in the morning?" Liam asks

I look at the clock and see it is 3 in the morning. wow.

"im hungry all the time." Niall says

"true though." Zayn says

since we're all up, we decide to do karaoke. but all the boys want me to sing one of my songs but I shut it down because my voice isn't ready for that. and also, Louis doesn't know that half the songs I wrote are about him so I ask Louis to go. he agrees after giving in. 

"so this song is called Always You." Lou says. he starts singing with the music in the background. 

I went to Amsterdam without you

and all I could do was think about you

and oh oh oh

I should've known

I went to Tokyo to let it go

drink after drink 

but I still felt alone

I should've known

I went to so many places 

looking for you in the faces

I could feel it, oh I could feel it

I'm wasting my time when it was always you, always you

chasing the high but it was always you, always you

should have never let you go oh oh

should have never let you go oh, my baby

go oh oh

oh oh oh

after Louis finishes singing, I realize that the song is for me. I start tearing up. he notices this and wipes away my tears. 

"hey love. why you crying?" he asks softly

"be-because. I feel so bad. I haven't listened to any of your songs and if I had listened to your songs sooner an-and realize you were writing them for me and to me, I would've taken you back much earlier. I-i'm sorry." I start to cry

Louis wraps me in a hug. "it's ok love. if it makes you feel any better, I haven't listened to your songs either." 

"really?" I ask

"yeah. it would've hurt me too much." he says truthfully. 

"I love you." I say

"I love you too" he says. 

I forgot the other boys were in the room when Liam awkwardly clears his throat. 

"well. that was great Lou. im proud of you." Liam says. the other boys agree with Liam. 

"thanks guys." Louis says smiling

"no problem. but haz, now that we're here, we're too tired to drive back to our place. could we crash here?" Liam asks.

"sure." I say laughing. 

Nialler immediately runs upstairs to do Niall things. I give the boys a blanket and Lou and I cuddle up next to each other. a minute later, niall runs down the stairs, somehow tripping over the rug. we all laugh as he gets up. he lays out on the couch and falls asleep. soon we're all asleep.
