Chapter Twenty Nine

Look After You: Original by The Fray, Flawless Cover by Louis Tomlinson

Louis' POV

The remainder of the trip was accompanied with disapproving stares from my father and approval from my grandmother and sisters. They all really liked Elise, except for my father, but I don't care about his opinion. Gran got better as the week went on and by the time we left she was out of her wheelchair. Elise and I did a lot of sight seeing together and it was a fun trip. My father could not resist a few snide remarks from across the room, but he was shut down by my mother or Gran.

My sisters all really liked her. They all hung out together and did girl things. To my disappointment, not, I was not allowed on these outings. Gran was sad to see her go.

The plane ride home wasn't bad at all, Elise sat next to me for the ride. She slept most of the time with her head on my shoulders, it was very cute. I found out that she had an extreme fear of planes because she had to take four little pink pills instead of three, in case of an anxiety attack aboard the plane. Plus when she was awake she would freak out and grab my hand if the plane shook just a little bit.

"When you hear the ding, everything will be okay," I whispered once, a line from Say Anything and she eased up a bit.

I drove Elise's car back to campus while she slept in the passenger seat. Those pills really knocked her out. When she woke up I had just pulled in to the parking lot next to her dorm.

"Thanks for driving Louis, I really was tired," Elise yawned. She looked like a little kid, it was adorable.

"Not a problem," I said as I got out to get her suitcase for her. I couldn't help but smile to myself, for no reason at all, I don't really know why, I just did.

"Thanks for getting my bag Louis, I can bring it up to my room." Elise said and took the bag from my hand.

"Alright, I'll walk up with you if you don't mind," She just gave me a big smile that I took as a yes.

We walked up in silence, but it was a good kind of silence. Mostly everyone was at classes, next week was final exams. I wasn't too worried because I do pretty well in my classes, not like Elise who gets a hundred on everything. I'm just average. I don't really have a plan for what I want to do after college, I know I want to be with Elise.

"You can come in if you want Louis," Elise said standing in the middle of her empty room. Elise's side was lined with bookshelves filled with classics. Her bed was neatly made and there were random stacks of books. It was nerdy, but cute. The other side was a lot messier, with clothes thrown about and stuff.

I sat down on her bed and picked up here copy of Romeo and Juliet and looked for the little note I had left for her. I searched every page and it wasn't there, no big deal, maybe she saw it.

"What's your plan for after college, I mean we graduate next year," I blurted, I didn't even know my own plan.

"Well I'm planning on moving to New York and try to get onto Broadway, but I'm thinking of going to NYU as a finishing school to be an English teacher for high school if that doesn't work out." She had a plan, and it was a good plan.

"What about us?" I couldn't help but ask. It just rolled off my tongue.

"Would you come with me? We can get an apartment together in the city or maybe out on Long Island, or maybe even here in New Jersey, but that's a little longer of a commute."

"I'd like that, I might want to be a publisher or editor or something. That would be cool." I said, it's worth a shot.

"That sounds like a plan," Elise said as she started to unpack. It really wasn't a plan. It was a guess, a shot in the dark, an idea.

Words just kept falling out of my mouth, "Would it be crazy if I said I wanted to spend forever with you?" I scratched the back of my neck with my hand. What if that was wrong? There was an agonizingly long silence.

"Would it be crazy if I said I would love to spend forever with you?" Elise looked up from her suitcase and into my eyes. My heart leaped and we smiled at each other.

"Let's do it then. Let's spend forever together. I mean it, let's move to New York after college. We can look at apartments." I said, so many thoughts were running through my mind.

"I would love that," Elise said.

"We could start a family or get married or anything you want, I swear I won't leave or anything and we can figure everything out and I'll get a job or something. Promise me this will happen?" I meant it.

"I promise that this will happen, can we get a dog? I've always wanted a dog," Elise said.

"We can thirty dogs if you really wanted too," I replied, I've always wanted a dog too, "I'll look after you and our future dog." I laughed.

"I'll look after you too," Elise said as she finished unpacking.

I was glad I got that all out, I have never realized I was keeping that in for so long. I guess I really wanted to say something like that. I just kind of know that I want to be with her for the rest of my life.

I have this feeling where I just know she will be there for me. I know that if I'm upset or mad or losing my mind that I can talk to her and everything will be better. She is my everything, I don't know what I would do without her. I can be myself around her, I don't have to be the obnoxious guy who gets with a girl every day that I used to be, because now I only want Elise. I don't want her, I need to be with her. I feel like I'm suffocating without her. I feel genuinely happy with her, I smile for no reason and stuff.
