One Direction One-shots and Imagines

Want U Back

I made this imagine for a lovely girl that messaged me. I hope you all like it :)

I was just laying on the couch relaxing after a stressful day at work, watching some random show on tv.

“Mom?! Where is that really cute top we bought yesterday!” My daughter Penelope screamed from upstairs.

“In your closet underneath the purple one!” I screamed back just where I put it that morning.

“No it isn’t!” She screamed back. Urgh, now I have to go upstairs and grab the shirt in her closet underneath the purple shirt because I’m sure that’s where I put it. I sighed and got up from the couch to walk upstairs where my 9 year old daughter is packing her bags.

“What do I get when it is just where I said it is?” I ask Penelope walking into her purple room.

“I’ll clean the living room for a week” she said sitting on her bed looking at her phone. I turn to her closet and grab her shirt from underneath the purple shirt.

“But-huh-bu-” Penelope stutters and grabs the shirt from me. “Dad asks if he can come a little earlier” she says closing her weekend bag “he wants to talk to you” she finishes.

“Penelope, I don’t want to talk to him, he should know it’s over. This is the 6th week in a row he ‘wants to talk’” I tell her sitting next to her on her bed.

“But mum, he still loves you and you still love him. I can see it. Just please talk to him” she almost begs me.

Penelope’s dad is Louis Tomlinson. Yes the Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. Louis and I had been dating since we were 20 and when we were 22 we got married and had Penelope. Almost 4 years ago we got divorced.  

Flashback

“Louis, please don’t go!” I beg my husband who is standing in front of me, his suitcase packed.

“Naya, I have to, I have no choice, this is my job” he tells me putting his suitcase down and walking over to me. Grabs my face and wipes the tears that are streaming down my face away.

“Louis, I can’t do this on my own. Penelope has to go to school and I have to go to work, just please don’t. Stay a little longer?” I ask Louis my voice small. Louis had been home for the last 4 years, but now One Direction was going to do another world tour and they would be on the road for 3 years straight, no breaks. I didn’t know how I was going to handle Louis being away this long, and especially not with a 4 year old kid.

“Naya this is my job, don’t be so selfish. Don’t you think this hurts me to?” Louis breaks away from the hug and raises his voice a little bit.

“I’m not being selfish” I say, my voice still as small.

“Yes you are! You are saying I just should stop what I love to do for you” Louis says, screaming this time. I look at him in disbelieve, he never screamed at me.

“I never said that!” I screamed back. Louis turned around and grabbed his suitcase.

“Louis please don’t go” I say one last time, this time not screaming but almost whispering. Louis stops in his tracks and stands there for a few seconds but then he shakes his head and opens the door.

Flashback over

“Hi Naya” There he stood as perfect as always.

“Hi” I say and open the door a bit further so he can walk in.

“I miss you” Louis says taking my hand and he stands in front of me. I shake my head and take my hand back. “Please, listen to me for a moment” he asks me pleading but I don’t turn around to look at him, I just continue to stare at my wall. “Everything I did was wrong, all those times I yelled at you. All the times I got mad because you didn’t want me to go. Now I get why. You were afraid of me not coming back, but I did. When you didn’t answer any of my text or calls I knew something was wrong and I came back, only to find our apartment empty. When I saw the letter on the table which said we were divorced my heart broke. Naya, I never stopped loving you.” Louis says putting his hand on my shoulder.

“B-but you left” was all my throat allowed me to say.

“And it was the biggest mistake of my life” Louis says turning me around and wiping the tears away, just like he did almost 4 years ago.

I don’t know what to do. A voice in my head tells me I have to get back with Louis, but another voice says I shouldn’t because he will break my heart once again.

I step away from Louis and walk towards the kitchen to grab some water for myself. Louis just stands there in the middle of my living room looking surprised.

“Louis, I can’t do this. I really can’t” I tell Louis honest “I’m seeing someone”. As I say those words I can see Louis heart break. His eyes instantly lose their sparkle and his smile changes into a frown.

“I’m sorry” is all he says.

“Dad can we go?” Penelope come walking down the stairs and smiles as she sees her dad. But frowns as she sees me. Louis nods and I walk towards Penelope to give her a hug, but she refuses. “Stop lying” is what she whispers in my ear as she walks by to give Louis a hug.

“I have something planned” Louis smiles at her as he wipes some brown hair out of her face and grabs her bag.

I hear someone knock on my door and put my book away. It is a week later already and it is probably Louis who is bringing Penelope back. I open the door and see I’m right. “Hi” I smile and Penelope gives me a hug. Then she turns to her dad and gives him a hug too

“Thanks dad, I had fun” she says and walks past me into the house.

“Why did you lie?” Louis asks me tilting his head a bit. I really don’t know what he is talking about so I don’t reply. “About seeing someone, Penelope told me it isn’t true” he tells me making me understand it more. Yes I did lie about that, but why did Penelope tell him? I don’t know what to reply so I just look at my feet.

“I didn’t want you to hurt me once again” I whisper honestly. If I told him that loved him too I would let him back in again and then he would be able to hurt me again.

“I would never hurt you” Louis says grabbing my head in his hands “Naya please, give me one chance. One date and we’ll see what happens” He asks with those beautiful blue eyes staring into my boring brown ones.

All I can do is nod.
