I Know It's You (One Direction: Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction)

Chapter 24

Louis' POV

I pulled out of the parking lot to the road. We drove in silence. We glance on each once in a while. I can sense the awkwardness surrounding us. I swear, if none of us will talk, I'll lose my mind.

I was planning to take him in a studio the lads and I are currently using. I can't sacrifice my security; and his as well so I think that's the safest at the moment.

I was about to talk, but Kevin beat me to do it breaking the silence inside the car.

" Louis, can I ask you something?", he asked, but he shifts uncomfortably  regretting what he  just said.

I turn my gaze from the road to him; I look at his eyes telling him to continue.

"Uhm, I was just thinking if - ", he stuttered looking for his words. " Have you seen the tweets recently?"

"Yeah, I even saw you there.", I nodded chuckling. Well, there's lots of pics that day when we the lads and I went to school.

I've seen some, but one tweet in particular somehow manage to get through my nerves. About my father.

He laughed awkwardly and continue asking me.

" Did you see a particular tweet?
A - about your father?", he continued.

Can Kevin read ones mind?

I almost choke on my own spit. My grip on the steering wheel tightens that my knuckles turn white. My body tense up and I clenched my teeth in anger just thinking of him. Thinking of my father.

I try to clear my thoughts and focus on the road instead. When we reached a stop light, I look at him; he already scooted towards the door. He hugged his bag to his body.

I chuckled inwardly at his position. I loose my grip on the steering wheel.  I extend my hand, but to my amusement he flinch. To much for me to contain, the car was filled with fits of laughter.

---------------

After couple of hour - mainly because of traffic, occasional stop 'cause Kevin always get hungry; I think they have Niall in common.

I parked the car beside the studio building. I hop out of the car while Kevin followed suit.

We stop in reception area, a blonde girl with beautiful smile approaching us.

"Good morning, Mr. Tomlinson!", she cheered.

"Thank you. Call me Louis", I replied.

The girl then give me a key that leads to one of the studios inside. I step aside and tapped Kevin's back. " Oh, and this is my friend Kevin", I added.

She lead us to a familiar corridor, couple of left and right turns. We stop in front of a two-doored room. I inserted the key and enter the enormous room.

The inside consists of different kind of instruments -- a piano, guitars, drums, and other unfamiliar instrument.

Kevin just stand in the middle, his face was unexplainable. Amusement and shock combined. I tugged his coat and make him sit.

"Louis...this place, it's wonderful", he beamed.

" I know, Kevin. I go here too", I walk to the studio booth and clicked a couple of buttons. I tapped the mic, then go back to Kevin.

"I go here to unwind and think about things", I added.

" Like a scape place?", he asked, gaze fix on me.

"Yes, a scape place". In fact, it's more than just that to me.

Since we start using this studio, I usually go here alone. These four walls is a witness to all of my problems. Starting from the corridor my eyes where pricking. Then the moment I enter here, all my emotions will just pour out.

This is the place where I can show my weakness; for a while at least. Others are probably thinking that we're living a perfect life. Go from lots of places. They didn't know a thing behind it.

Hate

Loneliness

Insecurity

" Louis...Lou?", a hand snapping in front of me tear me out of my trance.

"Yeah? Sorry about that", I smiled sheepishly.

" So, what are we, really, doing here?"

"Well, it's about...your cousin", I stammered finding for right words to say.

"About my cousin, you say? Wha-what about her?", he said amazed by what I just said.

"I'm sorry about what happened last time. I know I should have care for her and, and I should have bring her back that night. I-I'm so sorry", I frowned.

" Hey Lou, it's okay. I know it's not your fault. It's fine.", he said stretching his arms while collapsing on the couch.

"Louis, can I ask you something?"

I look at him and study his face. But nothing make sense to me right now.

"What is it?", I finally surrendered.

" Do you love Julie?", ...he just dropped the bomb!

"Wha-what are you saying?", Am I in some sort of reality game? Is he playing tricks on me? Hidden cameras?

" Hahaha, don't deny it. I see it on how you loom at her. I know you've known her in couple of weeks now, but I can feel it's true -- your feelings were true from the start", he laughed.

I think I'll end it here. This is probably the time to let someone know my adoration for her.

"Yes I, I like her".

" Then why don't you make a move?"

To be honest with you, I asked myself that a couple of times. But it seems like the answer won't reach me. And besides there's Niall.

"I'm scared", I said as plain as that.

" But why?", he demanded.

"I - I am scared that I'll lose her because of this ---because of my love for her".

He patted my shoulder then head to the booth where the mic and stuff were.

" Don't you worry Louis. I won't happen, I know it", he breathe deeply before he start singing. Each word he sang muffled by the thoughts that continue to linger inside my head.
