Girl Next Door (Louis Fanfic)

Chapter Fifteen

November...

The breeze races through my hair, whipping it around my face. My books seem to get heavier ever step I take as I walk home. My car was in the shop (flat tire with no spare) and my dad was working late. Leaves blow off trees creating a whirlwind of color and the aroma of pine fills the air. I was still a block away from home, feeling utterly exhausted, when my phone went off. I jumped dropping my books. I look at my phone... It was Zayn calling for our daily "chats" as he would call them. Was it annoying? YES! But it was nice to talk to someone. I let it go to my machine. I kneel down to pick up my books when familiar hands hand me a few. I look up locking eyes with Louis. Was this an illusion? Certainly not a dream, but was I hallucinating. He hands me my history book as a slip of paper falls out. The one I had been doodling on covered with hearts and 'I love Louis's' all over.

"What's this?" he says unfolding it discovering what it beholds. I stand there dumbfounded, while he grins. He hands it back to me.

"Are you really here or is this just -"

"A hallucination? It can be either one. Whichever you want." he says fingering a piece of my hair. Was he really here? Why would he be though? But was I so love sick I was having damn hallucinations.

We walk in silence the rest of the way to my house, dropping my books off inside. He then takes my hand and leads me through the forest, stopping at a tall tree.

"After you..." he smiles, flashing his gorgeous pearls.

"What do you mean?" I ask. He grabs the rope latter. I nod in understanding and make my way up. At the top was a tree house. Inside the floor was litter with books. Song books. Also a banana peel (Louis didn't even like bananas!), a pizza hut box, and a sprite bottle. I climb over the mess and sit on the chair. Louis's head appears at the doorway as he climbs in.

"Sorry for the mess." he mumbles, pushing stuff to the side.

"Louis when did you build this?" I ask, wondering why I didn't know about it before.

"My dad and I built it before you came. It was my secret hide out. Thought you should know about now. Especially since...." his voice fell.

"What?" I ask.

"Erica look, there's something that I have to tell you." he says. I cock my head.

"I- I'm moving out. I'm gonna live in London.... I wanted you to have this place." he said gesturing to the room.

I felt like I had been stabbed. I winced clenching my teeth.

"Soooo that means..."

"When X-Factor is done, whether we win or not, I'm gonna live there. Sure I will come back and visit... But I just think it will best for the band." he said looking at the ground. I nod slowly bringing my knees up to my chest.

"Well now that's off my chest... Wanna get some pizza or something?" he asks.

"Sure, I need to do my homework so what about seven?" I ask

"Sure love!" he gave me a peck on the cheek and then I disappeared down the ladder. I walk through the pile of papers until I come across something long forgotten. Something I hadn't seen in years.......

Louis's POV

I walk down Erica's driveway to my house when I step on something. It crunches under my foot. I bend to pick it up... It's the locket I gave Erica. I push the button on the side, popping it open. And there were the words, still imprinted in the inside next to the picture. It was of us holding hands on afternoon. And next to it... It said...

"I need that One thing! You got that One Thing. I love you." I grimace wondering why it was out here, and why the glass was cracked. I bring it inside as I dig through my messes of paper. That's when I find it. I had first written this the day I saw Erica. I had been sitting in my room working on my paper airplane collection and saw this girl peer out the window. For a second my heart stopped. I wrote something down that day.

-something's gotta give now. 'Cause I'm dying just to know your name.-

From then as I grew to know here I finished the song. I hum along the familiar tune as my eyes scan the page.

I've tried playing it cool

But when I'm looking at you

I can't ever be brave

'Cause you make my heart race

Shot me out of the sky

You're my kryptonite

You keep making me weak

Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

Something's gotta give now

'Cause I'm dying just to make you see

That I need you here with me now

'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing

Now I'm climbing the walls

But you don't notice at all

That I'm going out of my mind

All day and all night

Something's gotta give now

'Cause I'm dying just to know your name

And I need you here with me now

'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind

And come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing

Woah-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh

You've got that one thing

Get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

So get out, get out, get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind (out of my mind)

And come on, come into my life

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

Yeah, you've got that one thing

Tonight I would give this to her, hoping to win her love one last time.
