Chapter 12: Brave/ Look After You
Louis' POV
Liam had left the room to answer a phone call from Uncle Simon. I hoped nothing was wrong. He doesn't normally call us unless there is something important. When Liam came back, he told us that Simon wanted all of us in his office at 10 tomorrow morning. Jade and Melodie were a bit surprised. This all still pretty new to them. Perrie texted the rest of Little Mix to let them know about the meeting. We all ended up going to bed earlier than normal. I couldn't sleep though. I just laid there and thoughts kept rushing through my head at a mile a minute. My brain didn't want to shut down and sleep. Two images kept going through my mind. The first was when I first saw Jade lying in that pool of blood. I was so scared for her, even though I had never met her. The second image was the first time that Jade smiled at me with her beautiful violet eyes. Her smile lit up the whole room. She took my breath away and stole my heart.
Since I couldn't fall asleep, I decided to go make a cup of Sleepy Time tea. My mum used to make it for me when I was little. Some things never change I guess. I walk down to the kitchen, and see that the light is on. I peak around the corner to see Jade making a cup of hot chocolate with caramel.
"Can't sleep," I ask. She jumped a little, but turned around to look at me.
"No. I have insomnia again," she replied.
"Again," I ask. I didn't know she had trouble sleeping. No wonder she often looks exhausted in the morning.
"Yea. I get it most nights. I've had it for years. I used to take sleep aid, but I left it in the medicine cabinet when I left," she explained.
I knew that talking about her past hurt, and that she just wanted to forget the pain and suffering she had felt in that "home". I walk over to her and hold my arms out for a hug. She walks right into my arms. I hold her tight. I feel something wet on my shirt and realize she's crying. I rub her back and comfort her. I start to sing Brave. Once I finish the song, she has calmed down. She still looks sad. I step over and finish making her caramel hot chocolate. I put a ton of whipped cream on it and then doused the whipped cream with caramel sauce. I handed the mug to her and pointed to the stools.
"Sit and drink your hot chocolate," I said. Once she had obeyed, I made my tea. I grabbed my mug and sat down across from her. We sat there enjoying the silence and each other's company. We finished our drinks at the same time. I grabbed both of our mugs and washed them real quick. I turned to Jade and saw her looking at me with that look like she wanted to ask me something.
"You know you can ask me anything," I tell her. She blushes embarrassed that I can read her so well.
"I was wondering if I could spend the night with you," she asks timidly.
"Of course. All you have to do is ask," I say.
I grab her hand and we walk upstairs to my room. She jumps in bed, while I turn the light off. I crawl in after her. I wrap my arms around her waist and sing softly in her ear. I keep singing until her breathing evens out, and I know that she is fast asleep. The song I sang described how I felt perfectly. I knew that I would always protect her and look after her. Look After You was the perfect song. It was going to be our song.
