Help, I'm Innocent. ~A Zayn Malik/Louis Tomlinson Fanfic~

Chapter Nine: Little Things

Jessica's P.O.V

I laid in my bed...Alone. Thoughts rushed to my head. Louis slept in his room tonight; Liam forced us to be separate. I glanced over at my clock; it was 2:44am. I was exhausted but I was too tired to sleep. My thoughts were all jumbled. Why would Louis love me anyway? I'm just a girl, a nobody. I longboard and I like Oreos. Big whoop. I write songs in my free time but they're all crap. I was ripped out of my thoughts when I heard a buzz. I looked over at my nightstand to find my phone; I guess I forgot to turn it off. I picked it up; I received a text from Louis.

Sorry to wake u but I can’t sleep. :( -Louis

Idk y I even sent that last message, go 2 sleep. -Louis

Well that escalated quickly. My fingers started clicking the screen and I sent a text back:

I can’t sleep either, can I sleep with u? -Jess

I gently closed my eyes and darkness enclosed my mind. My eyes shot open when my phone buzzed again.

Sure, come on over. :) -Louis

I stretched out my arms and flung my feet to the side of the bed and sat up. I grabbed my sweatshirt and put it on instantly warming my body. I slowly strolled to Louis's room. I quietly and slowly opened the door. He was sitting up, back against the wall. He had some grey sweats on and his chest was bare. His face lit up when he saw me. I entered and slowly closed the door, as soon as it clicked two strong arms wrapped around my waist. I leaned myself into him. "I'm really glad you came." He whispered. "I need to ask you something." I told him quietly as I removed myself from his grasp. I turned to face him. He turned around and sat on the bed, he lightly patted the spot next to him motioning me to sit down. I took a deep breath. "Louis...Why do you love me? I mean, what makes you so attracted to me? I'm just a girl who likes to longboard. Big whoop." I asked him, he paused for a moment. I felt a small lump developing in my throat. Before the tears started streaming down he spoke up. "It's the little things about you." He whispered. I gave him a confused look. "Your little button nose, your sarcasm, your love for longboarding." He started "And food." He added with a chuckle. I giggled at his remark. "And your laugh, there's something about it that I just can't put my finger on." He whispered. Our faces got closer with each word he said. I didn't realize it until I felt his breath make contact with my skin. "I love you, and all your little things." He whispered. His lips brushed mine as he cupped my face. Our lips touched and he deepened the kiss. Our lips moved in sync. He brought his hands to my waist and brought me closer. I roamed my hands up his bare chest until they found his hair. I started tugging on little locks of his dirty-blond hair.

I opened my eyes and abruptly pulled away. I looked down and then looked in his eyes; they were filled with sadness and confusion "What is it?" He asked "I need paper." I responded as I stood up. "Paper and a pen." I repeated. He just looked at me "Now!" I whisper-yelled. He got up and got me a piece of paper from a drawer. I started writing lyrics down, first thing in the morning-Oh wait, it is morning...Well, and later today I need to call Ed. This is gonna be great. "Okay, I'm done." I told him with a smile as I handed him the paper. "You just came up with that?" He asked me "Nope, you did, well, you got my mind working." I told him. A smile appeared on his face. "We're calling Ed tomorrow." He told me. I yawned. "Let's go to bed." He told me quietly. I crawled into bed with him, and was met with a deep and peaceful sleep.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" I heard a masculine voice yell. I shot my head up; I rubbed my eyes and blinked them a few times. I looked at Louis who was slowly getting up; I looked at the door to find an enraged Liam. "Liam, I can explain." Louis told him reassuringly. "You two are unbelievable! You've known each other for three days! You can't just sleep together!" He shouted at us. Fear filled my eyes, "Nothing happened, Liam." Louis told him sternly. "It's not like he's Harry." I added with a chuckle. Liam sighed. "You two are hopeless." He mumbled "Hopelessly in love." I whispered. Louis looked at me and smiled. Liam was about to leave. "Liam! Wait!" I called, he turned around. "I have something to show you." I added. I pulled out a piece of paper from my pocket and handed it to him. His eyes searched it, they widened right before he finished. "Hey Harry." He called, eyes not leaving the paper. "What is it?" Harry mumbled "Get Ed." Liam commanded. "Right now?" Harry asked. "Right now." I told him with the biggest smile on my face. Liam gave me back the paper. "You are amazing." He told me "Louis gave me some inspiration last night." I told him. He sighed "I guess you two together aren’t too bad after all." He told me with a smile. "Thanks." I told him quietly, I pulled him into a hug. "I'm gonna go get breakfast ready." He told me as he went to the kitchen.

I ran back to Louis's room. He was standing up, obviously still tired; his hair was a mess and was in all sorts of directions. "Guess who's not mad about us?" I asked him "Liam?" He whispered, I nodded "How did you..?" he trailed off "I showed him this." I told him as I took out the piece of paper. "You're good." He breathed with a smile. "I'm gonna get ready, see you later!" I called as I ran out of the room and into my own. I brushed my teeth and took a shower. I got dressed into a red and white baseball tee and some shorts. I brushed my hair and headed to the kitchen. I found the boys talking to Ed. I handed the paper to him and grabbed a pancake. His eyes widened. "You wrote this?" He asked me "Yep." I responded as I took another bite of the plain pancake. "Niall, can I borrow your guitar?" Ed asked. "Sure, I'll go get it." Niall exited, I took a seat by Louis and Niall re-entered. Ed started singing and messing with chords.

And I've just let these little things, slip, out, of my mouth, and if it's true, it's you, oh it's you they add up to. And I'm in love with you, and all these little things.

He finished and the boys were in awe. A giant smile was plastered on my face. "Someone call management." Liam ordered. "On it." Zayn responded. I stood up as Ed approached me; he engulfed me in a hug. He released and started to speak. "Louis, she's a keeper."

A/N Whoop whoop! Jess is a keeper! :D BTW this time setting is supposed to be before Take Me Home was out, sorry for any confusion...Heck, I'm confused. XD Vote/Comment/Share! :) ~Hannah
