"I can not believe that curly haired bastard fell asleep on us." I shouted hoping he'd hear me from the hallway.

"What is this?" he brought in my lamp and I laughed as his faced looked actually confused. "because I really love it." I smiled as I pinned up the last corner of my flag. God why do the upstairs walls have to be brick? What is the point in that?

"Well that lamp my friend is" I jumped off the suitcase and took the lamp from him setting it beside the union flag on the wall. "A long story." He laughed and pulled another box into the room setting it on the bed, then setting himself with it. I looked to the lamp and smiled. It was five foot tall and was shaped as a person playing a guitar, made of wire of course, and the "head" was the lamp shade thing whatever it's called.

"So tell me about the Mystery Lamp." I groaned and climbed up onto the newly made bed, finding the box held my records! I opened it and started going through it, the first record I pulled out being Pink Floyd's: Dark Side of The Moon.

"Well me and J-My roommate" I quickly corrected myself. "had a sort of falling out right after graduation around six months ago so I left. My friend Drew and his buddies were needing a guitarist for their band and I needed a place to stay so they let me stay with them. We went and preformed some gigs in different places for a while, caught some shows while we were at it and one of them actually happened to be The Rolling Stones." He stopped looking through Records and looked at me. I smiled and leaned over to grab a picture that was on the shelves around the head of the bed. It showed (left to right) Percy, Me, Keith Richards, Drew, and Adam, I handed him the picture.

"Holy shit." I ended up laughing at his expression. "Is that the lamp?" He pointed to the background and there stood my lamp. I smiled and nodded.

"I loved that thing and Keith noticed so he gave it to me. Just picked it up and goes "Here, the thing creeps me out anyways." So here it stands today, In my bedroom." He raised an eyebrow at me and smirked.

"That's not that long of a story you know?" His smirk grew and I rolled my eyes as I continued to look through the records. "Where is your device to play these fabulous things on?" I pointed to the record player that was sitting on top of a suitcase at the end of the bed.

He jumped up from his previous spot and took the record out of it's case gently setting it onto the player. After placing the needle a crackling sound echoed through the walls. A familiar voice broke through and I smiled as Louis stared humming.

(Are you Lonesome Tonight- Elvis)

"Would you do me the honor?" He bowed and offered his hand. Laughing I nodded and I stood up as took it. He brought our entwined hands to his chest and rested the other on the small of my back as mine placed itself on his shoulder, Slowly swaying back and forth.

"Are you sorry we drifted apart?" I gulped as he sung. His eyes were like the ocean, Wild and full of life. After everything he can still feel like that... It's truly amazing.

"Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day

where I kissed you and called you sweetheart?" Honestly...All the time.

"Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?" He has no idea how many times I have actually done that and it's sad.

"Is your heart filled with pain?

Shall I come back again?

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?" I looked away from his eyes as I tried to regain myself, But I knew I couldn't. His hand pulled my chin up and his eyes softened once seeing my watery ones. He swiped his thumb across my cheek, drying the fallen tear. God dammit... why does it always have to be him to make me feel like this.

Louis's P.O.V

"Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?

Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?" Her eyes never left mine as I sung. They were an amazing shade of blue that held a grey tint to them, they were the same blue as hers were.

"Is your heart filled with pain?

Shall I come back again?

Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?" She quickly looked at the floor causing confusion to take over. I raised my hand to lift her chin. Her blue/grey eyes had tears sliding from them causing them to look like an ocean in a storm and For some reason it broke my heart. I brushed them away with my thumb and sent her a tiny smile.

"What's wrong love?" She took in a shaky breath and looked at me, Her tear filled eyes pouring into mine.

"I-It's nothing." I raised an eyebrow as worry now filled me. No one cries over nothing and she seemed to realize that I wasn't buying it. "M-My Grandad used to sing it to me." I could tell there was something she wanted to say but wouldn't. "It's always been my favorite Elvis song." I looked at her and something clicked. It was so close but I couldn't figure it out. For some reason I wanted to comfort her. It literally hurt me to see her like this.

I cupped her cheek with my hand as we stopped moving and I felt her stiffen under my touch, but she relaxed after a second. Her eyes glanced at her hands before meeting my eyes once again. For some reason I started to move in closer and to my surprise so did she. Our lips were only inches apart and of course Harry had to ruin it.

"Heyo!" We both quickly moved away from each other as he hopped into the room. "What did I miss?" he gave me one of those Harry looks. He saw... how wonderful is that? Amazing. Now he's gonna make me tell him.

"Well lads off to bed, we've gotta be at the theater at eight tomorrow so... Shoo Shoo." She pushed us out of her room and smiled at us. "Night." She shut the door. Harry side bumped me as he chuckled and I groaned.

"Someone's got a crush." He whisper yelled so hopefully she couldn't hear us. I put my hand on his face and pushed him backwards before walking into the room we're sleeping in. But It's like Four in the morning and I know Harry won't let that slide. I flopped onto the bed and groaned as he entered the room laughing. once I heard the door shut I spoke.

"Don't even say it Haz." He raised his hands in defense before sitting beside me. After a while of silence we just decided to go to bed, Since we were already in pajamas we just crawled under the covers.

"So... What are you thinking Lou?" I sighed as my brain exploded with thoughts and ideas.

"Nothing." I don't want to talk about it. Every time we do this I always get my hopes up for nothing. I don't even know why I did this.. It was a good idea at the time... or I thought it was. Why did I even try and find her? Why am I still trying... I think I'm going mad. why?

Maybe Because I'm in love with a girl that Was hired to pretend to be my girlfriend.
