I Never Gave Up (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 6 - "Do you like ice cream?"

****Louis’ POV****

As soon as I got into my room, I flopped onto my bed. The last twenty minutes kept replaying over and over in my head; and I kept thinking about all that was said between us. I thought that once she was awake again, we could go back to living our normal lives, together and as a family, as it should be. But no, I had to be the one that she forgot! I just, I still cannot believe that she can’t remember me! I started to feel a tear fall down my face as I sat up. I put my head into my hands, which I found myself doing a lot recently, and cried. Just the thought that she doesn’t remember a single thing about our relationship, except for our children, which she still thinks are not mine too.

Suddenly, a thought popped into my head that made me stop crying. I lifted my head and looked at myself in the mirror. Wow, disgusting. I really need to shower…wait what? That’s not the point! Louis get back on track! Maybe, just maybe, if God is on my side, I can try to get her back! I did it once; maybe I can do it again! She is acting the same as the first time, so maybe there is still a chance! This is my one opportunity to win her back! I just need to talk to her…

“Louis, are you okay?” I heard her angelic voice from the other side of the door. I hesitated on whether I should tell her to go away, or invite her in the room. I guess my mouth is in control today because before I knew it, I was telling her to come in.

“It’s open Alyssa.” She poked her head into the room and scrunched her nose up.

“What is that smell? And this room is a mess!” She always the one that helped me keep everything clean.

“Oh yea, sorry about the mess, and the smell. I’ve had a busy…week…” I lied. It’s been like this for years.

“Anyway, I just wanted to check that you were ok. You seem upset.”

“Well duh I’m upset! You are just taking away my children from me! I don’t even have a choice and they hardly know you!” I snapped at her suddenly. “Maybe if you stay here for a while, where they can be with both of us, it’ll be easier on them.” She seemed to think about this for quite some time before she finally released an aggravated huff of air.

“If you think that it’ll be good for the girls…” she trailed off. I just nodded my head and smiled as she finally said the words I was waiting for, “fine, alright! I’ll stay here!” Suddenly, I could hear the two devils giggling silently from the other side of the door. I eyed Alyssa and smirked, she seemed to understand what I wanted to do because she just smiled and nodded too. We crept up to the door and opened it slightly, and looked at them. Then we opened the door all the way and picked them up. I grabbed Clara, and Alyssa, Amelia. We started tickling them as they tried to break from our clutches. We finally put them down and we all started laughing at once. Things like this makes me remember the time before the accident; all of us laughing and having fun together while we all got along.

“Shi-Crap!” Alyssa said suddenly. I gave her a puzzled look and watched as she ran out of the room. I followed her to see what she was doing and saw that she was talking to Liam.

“Yea I’ll be staying here for a while so you guys can stay at my flat if you’d like. Just DON’T, I REPEAT, DO NOT do anything STUPID while there! I don’t want to come back to a bill larger than the United States!” I heard her say to him. He just stood there and looked at me in a way that said: ‘you convinced her to stay here?!’ And I just shot him a smirk in return. He just slowly nodded to the both of us and walked towards the door. But he suddenly stopped and turned to me.

“Don’t forget that we have a practice tomorrow Lou, 11:00. Simon said that it is urgent that we all are there.”

“Thanks Li, I’ll be there.” He opened the door and walked out. Alyssa and I were finally alone…kinda.

We sat there in silence for a while before she suddenly spoke.

“So what do you want to do? And why did you want me to stay over here really? I know that it wasn’t just because of our daughters.” She took me by surprise; she finally realizes that I am the father of her children. Now I have to convince her that we were a big thing and that we were madly in love with other…that won’t be hard at all! *note the sarcasm…*

“Um…well…I was kind of, well,” I suddenly got interrupted when the girls came around the corner. They both ran up and hugged our legs like they were never going to see us again.

“What’s wrong girls?” Alyssa asks them as she bends down to their eye level. They both just go back and forth from looking at me to looking at her.

“We are just glad that we are all back together again.”

**A few hours later**

****Alyssa’s POV****

We just finished tucking the girls into bed, when we both went into the living room to sit. We just sat in awkward silence for what felt like the umpteenth time today as I just stared at the blank and black telly.

“You never answered me earlier.” I heard myself say. He looked at me and suddenly his face went white. He looked at me like he was scared, or embarrassed about something. He looked down at his hands and played with his fingers. I could tell that he wanted to say something, but he just couldn’t. I slowly got up and made my way over to the couch that he was sitting on and plopped down next to him. He looked up and his eyes went big.

“Louis, I can read people very well; I know that you want to say something.” He let out a sigh and opened his mouth to speak,

“The reason I wanted you to stay was because of the girls.” He said as a total lie. I have him a skeptical look and he threw his hands up in defeat and stood up. “FINE! I let you stay because I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out with me!” He said as he started pacing, and I have to say, when he is frustrated, he looks adorable. He was about to walk out of the room, but I ran up to him and grabbed his arm.

“Yes.” I said simply. Wait what?! I’ve only known him for a few days!

“What?” He said dumbfounded. Ok I swear, he can be stupid.

“I said I’ll go out with you.” He suddenly had a look of pure happiness on his face, like a child on Christmas morning! He jumped up and enveloped me in a hug. I couldn’t help but to hug him back. I suddenly remembered something.

“Oh Louis, I forgot to tell you! I’m only going to be staying here for 1 month, and then I’m going to go back to my flat.” The smile slowly faded from his face for a moment before coming back.

“Ok, I think I can handle a month!” He said in a joking tone. We just laughed for a while and went to watch something on the telly.

****Louis’ POV****

A month?! Only a month?! I have to make her fall in love with me in a month?! That just doesn’t seem fair!! But I think that I can work with that! After I turned on the telly, I turned to my, now girlfriend, and said:

“Hey Lyss, do you like ice cream?”
