Give Me Love

Chapter 17 - Harry!?

Marie POV

"I wrote this song a few years ago when I started dating a lovely girl. You all know her, Marie!" Chris Laughed "Now here's another surprise... She's gonna play it with me! Everyone say hi to Marie!!!!"

I was nervous as I walked on stage and stood next to Chris; I hadn't played or heard this song in a while. It used to; well it still does mean a lot to me.

"This is trouble!" He smiled and patted my shoulder.

"I'm in trouble

I'm an addict

I'm addicted to this girl

She's got my heart tied in a knot

And my stomach in a whirl

But even worse I can't stop calling her

She's all I want and more

I mean damn, what's not to adore"

The crowd cheered, the song was perfect! As he sang you could see it in his eyes how much he still loved me, and it made me realize how much I care for him.

"Now this is a new one I wrote called 'Hummingbird' Marie doesn't know it... But I want her to stay while we play it okay?"

The crowd started cheering, they knew of our old relationship. During a few songs he had slide shows going in the background. Mainly of random people but sometimes old pictures of us. We looked so happy I wasn't sure if that smile was as big as the smile I had when I was with harry. Does it matter though? After that drama at the billboard awards I had only spoken to Harry a few times, and it was as awkward as ever.

I was knocked out of my thoughts by Chris saying,

"Here it goes...

'I like you

Girl, you don't got nothing to prove to me

I know that times have been rough

For the both of us

But I'll pray for change"

It started off quiet and slow pulling me in, I could feel myself start to blush and smile like an idiot,

"You see, this world has lots to offer but

In time it will go dark

And if this love is what we say it is,

I'm sure we will go far

And with a girl as sweet as you,

There's not much else I can do,

But fall for you.

You know that I'm a wreck,

And you know I can't breathe;

At the edge of my seat with each word.

And as the months turn into years

Just know that I will wait here for you

Cause I prayed for change...'"

As the song continued I started getting more nervous, I was chewing on my lip, playing with my fingers and avoiding his eyes. After a while though, I started to cry? I was crying with a smile on my face...

I wasn't sure of the feeling I had while listening to Chris sing this song to me.

Was it still love?

Or was it just my heart trying to find a way to heal its self still.

After he finished I stood to walk passed him but he caught my wrist and pulled me in for a tight hug, he made my heart flutter and skip a few beats.
