Liam’s P.O.V

“You can do it mate, she’ll love it” Niall grinned, I left him to sit in the car as I walked into the Dormitory.

I clutched the large wooden object as I stopped at her door. I knocked twice, and stood impatiently. The door creaked open to reveal a distressed Jessa.

“Err-hi, Liam” She said awkwardly scratching the back of her neck.

“Hi, is Darcy here?” I asked, trying to see into the small dorm.

“Yeah, but she doesn’t want to see you” She replied blankly.

“Jessa please, I need to see her”

“Go away Liam” I heard a sob come from inside the dorm, her voice was rather shaky and it broke my heart. My heart shattered even more, knowing that it was my fault.

I sighed as Jessa glanced at me apologetically, before closing the door. I slumped down against the small door and placed the large guitar on my lap. Niall taught me two songs-I was already familiar with the chords- and I hope it was enough.

Hey there Darcy
what’s it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Darcy
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

I stopped strumming to listen, and noticed the sobs had stopped, and it was just silent. I smiled, hopefully and continued.

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you

This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

 

I let the last chord fade out, as I listened once more. Still silent, but as I was about to continue, the door creaked open. I regained my balance and stood to see Jessa with a slight smile.

“Good job babe” She winked letting me through. I instantly noticed Darcy curled up in the back corner of the bed, with a box of tissues in her hand. She looked up at me with her red puffy eyes, and I held up a hand to signal for her to remain quiet. She did as she was supposed to, and I strummed the next song.

“..And I, think you're from another world, and I, I couldn't love another girl, cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated.” I smiled, as I spoke gently.

In a room full of frozen faces,
and a moment of fractured time,
we eclipse in a conversation,
as the words, they pass us by.

With you, we could be the only ones here.

..cause I, think you're from another world,
and I, I couldn't love another girl.
cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.
To the sky, flying high, take me to the moon,
day or night, we don't have to say a word,
cause you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.

A small smile was placed on her face, as I sang the next verse.

Your eyes like a shot of whiskey,
warms me up like a summer night.
Can you tell that I need ya with me?
Let me drink you down tonight.

No I don't just want any pretty face,
wanna wake up next to yours each day.
Baby, won't you be my saving grace tonight, tonight?

With you, we could be the only ones here.

..cause I, think you're from another world,
and I, I couldn't love another girl.
cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.
To the sky, flying high, take me to the moon,
day or night, we don't have to say a word,
cause you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.

I stopped strumming knowing that was good enough.

“Darcy, I don’t think I expressed in that letter how much I actually care about you, so I thought I’d tell you” I paused, as I took a breath.

“Darcy Jane Litindale, I honestly thought from the moment I saw you, I knew you were something special. I could tell although your eyes told me you were just fine, I knew your smile told me something totally different. You needed someone to look out for you, and to hold you when you couldn’t do anything else. I didn’t think I had a shot with someone as beautiful, funny, talented, sweet, and graceful as you. I thought, ‘hey, maybe I can give it a shot’, and so I did. You kept me sane, when everything else crumbled, and I see the same thing in you every day. Darcy I know I’m not all you’ve ever wanted, but If you let me, I can be anything you want me to. I can be your superhero, if you’ll let me”

I watched a tear race down her cheek; I caught it and wiped it away. I stared deep into her eyes, searching for an answer.

“Please say something” I pleaded, I sat confused as she started to laugh. “What?” I asked.

“It’s just- I thought I didn’t deserve you, out of all the girls in the world, you chose me” She laughed, as a few more tears escaped her eyes.

“Darcy, I chose you because you are different from all the other girls, you see me differently than anyone I’ve ever met. You don’t want me for my money or mNy fame, you see me as just Liam James Payne, not Liam James Payne of one direction.” I said honestly.

She grinned through tears and I pulled her into a hug, kissing her gently on the forehead.

“Thank you” she whispered, closing her eyes.
