All That Matters

Chapter 26

(Listen to the song Look After You cover by Louis Tomlinson for this chapter!! It fits perfectly:) This is one of my favorite chapters by far! Tell me what y'all think;) xx)

"Darsey, it's going to be okay." Liam tries to comfort me.

"I know, it's just-" I huff. "Its just... Everything felt so real. I was sure that it was real. Then he just tells me that he never even cared for me? It just doesn't make any sense." I whimper.

"I know," Liam says. "But Harry's got a lot going on right now and..."

"So much that he can't tell me the truth?" I interrupt before breaking into a sob.

But Liam doesn't say anything. He just continues to comfort me and hum slightly, which calms my nerves a bit. I feel myself drifting off to sleep as I lay on Liam on the couch. After a short while, I finally give into the sleep.

LOUIS POV:

I walk in the front door and right as I'm about to slam it shut I notice Darsey sleeping peacefully on Liam. I gently close it, careful not to wake her.

"What?" Liam asked quietly, noticing my torn clothes and ruffled hair.

"I followed Harry to some guys house and he was beating him up, then the guy almost killed him so I pulled him off." I explain the details of the event, still tense.

How could Harry do that do Darsey? Finally get her to like him back then say he never cared for her? Then again it doesn't shock me.

He's Harry.

He can't be in a relationship for more then a month. (besides the fact that him and Darsey have been together for a couple months and I didn't know about it half the time.) leave it to him to screw everything up.

"Was she crying?" I ask in a pained voice, looking down at her as she sleeps on Liam, her mouth held in a frown.

Liam just nods, not meeting my eyes.

"What do we do now?" he asks eventually. I shrug and walk over to them. I gently pick her up and turn towards the stairs before lightly scaling them.

I hear Liam sigh loudly before kicking out the footrest and most likely beating himself up for not warning Darsey about Harry and his tricky games like I am right now. I enter her room and gently begin to lay her down in her bed; she stirs lightly in my arms and for a second I don't want to set her down.

When I have her tucked in I turn to leave when a small voice that I don't even recognize is Darsey speaks up.

"Louis?"

"Yeah?" I turn back.

"D-don't... Don't leave." she mutters, her nose red abd her eyes half open. "Stay," she raises her voice a little louder. I grin softly as she reaches her hand out and grabs mine before pulling me into her bed with her.

She cuddles into me and I wrap my arms around her protectively, knowing that there isn't a place in this world that I'd rather be. She feels cold and I can feel her shiver. She begins to whimper once more and I hold her tighter.

"Sing," she requests.

"What?" I ask, taken back. I know she likes my singing but I didn't know she'd ask me to to calm her down.

"Sing; sing Look After You." she asks.

I begin singing softly and I can hear her crying stop as she focuses on my voice. I find myself grinning a little as she listens attentively.

"Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, Be my baby, oh oh oh, and I'll look after you," I sing, finding that this song has more meaning to me then she knows.

When I finish, I see that she has drifted to sleep, and I smile down at her, happy that I had calmed her nerves.

"I know you're asleep, but if I don't say this now I don't think I ever will. I just want you to know that you're beautiful," I whisper.

"Not just in your looks, your personality too. Your voice is beautiful, the way you talk is beautiful, your kindness is beautiful, your smile is beautiful. I like the way you talk to me. I like the way you look away when I compliment you. I like who I am when I'm with you,i just like you," I ramble on, saying everything that I've ever wanted to tell her.

"And for some reason, when I could be thinking about anything in the world, my mind always wanders back to you." I mutter with a grin.

"You want to know why that is?" I ask even though I know she is asleep.

"It's not because your my best friend. It's because I love you."
