Song: I Choose You - Sara Bareilles

"Tell the world that we finally got it all right, I choose you. I will become yours and you will become mine, I choose you"

Delilah

I flutter my eyes open, turning to see Louis cheekily grinning. I blush at the thought of him watching me sleep, chuckling when he pokes my sides.

"I put in Peter Pan," Louis tells me. My eyes widen, turning around to face the TV. I let out a quiet scream, sitting up to watch my favorite movie. Louis continues to lay down, his arms wrapping around my waist.

"This is my favorite," I say. Louis mumbles into my side, making me laugh.

I watch as Peter Pan tries to convince Wendy to go to Neverland with him. My heart flutters at the thought of Peter Pan actually being real. I would for sure go to Neverland with him... Although there's pirates and crocodiles, Neverland would be home to me. It's home to me even though it doesn't even exist.

"If Peter Pan came to my window, I'd go," I say. Louis looks up at me, my head looking down to see him with a frown.

"And leave me?" He pouts. I roll my eyes, patting his head.

"You can be my Peter Pan," I say. Louis' eyes brighten, sitting up. He has a huge smile on his face, making me wonder what he's so happy about.

"I was Peter Pan for Halloween!" Louis laughs. I widen my eyes in sarcasm, shaking my head.

"No way!" I laugh. Louis just narrows his eyes at me, laying back down. I turn my head back to the TV, watching Peter Pan shake Tinkerbell on top of Wendy, Michael and Johns head.

I'm pulled from the movie as Louis' phone starts ringing. I look over at him to see his hands digging his hands in his pockets. He pulls it out, a smile finding its way on his face.

"Who is it?" I curiously ask. He turns the phone to me, revealing the contact name "Curly Fries". I furrow my eyebrows, looking back up to his face in confusion.

"Harry," he states. He stands up, walking into the kitchen as he takes the call. I remember Louis telling me about his best friend that goes to a different school. I've never met him, but any friend of Louis' is mine!

Louis

I walk into Delilah's kitchen, clicking the green button to talk to Harry. I haven't heard from Harry for a little over week. The last time I talked to him was when we planned to meet at the Halloween party. He said he would be a little late because he was at his other friends party, but I never got a chance to see him. I was going to introduce him to Delilah, as a surprise, but that night was a complete mess.

"Harry!" I smile, pressing my phone to my ear.

"Hey Louis! How are you?" He asks. I smile, nodding.

"I'm doing good, you?" I ask. I haven't heard his voice in ages.

"Eh. I had my phone taken away after I came home at like noon after the Halloween parties," he informs me. I laugh, shaking my head at his forgetfulness.

"Nice one," I say.

"Hey! It wasn't my fault. I fell asleep trying to find you!" I hear him laugh. I roll my eyes, leaning against the counter.
