Love Bites - Louis Tomlinson

Chapter 17 - Alissa's POV

I felt guiltly as Harry got up to leave, no one payed any attention but we could all feel the tension grow when he left.

No one spoke for a moment until Louis looked at me. "Can I talk to you please? In private?" His voice was hesitant but I agreed. He stood up and I followed him to the foyer of the house, and he looked around for a minute before leading me into the cloak room.

Louis shut the door, standing opposite me, his face had a small smile on his lips, but I could feel his mind thinking up the best words to say.

Neither of us spoke, but the silence didn't hold tension or awkwardness. It was calm, peacful almost. He was the first to speak, his eyes held guilt as he spoke.

"I'm so sorry." He shifted on the spot, "It's hard, you know? Being like this, being different. Some times I dream about my family."

I took a breath, the thought of my own family came to my mind. I held back the emotion of sadness I felt until he finished what he was going to say.

"I remember being a kid, laughing with my sisters and fighting. My mum would always take me shopping with them all, at the time I despised it, but as I think about it, those times weren't too bad. I'd give anything to hear my mum yell at me for complaining every two minutes about how sore my feet were form walking. I had to fake my death because of this curse. I watched my mum when the police had told her about my death, the un-recovered body to burnt to be saved. Her whole body had stopped functioning. It killed me. It really did."

We sat on the ground our bodies close as he confessed everything. I hadn't suspected anything like this, an apology, but i was getting the full story, the real reason, the answers the my questions. Did I really want them though?

"I've only being like this for a short time, I wan't always a monster. The feeling of being cared for, interesting, knowing that you will grow old and die, I can't feel that anymore. That night at the school, when you saw me, the way you looked into my eyes it made me feel somewhat human, I don't know why, just the way you're mind tried to work out what I was, to you I was interesting, you took the time to think about me. Unintentionally of coarse, but it still felt amazing. I had watched you that night, I watch the way you danced with that boy Jack, then way you would laugh and for some reasion it aggrivated me. A lot. I just didn't know what to do. The only thought that came to my mind was to take you away, then you would be mine. So I did. And I regret it for some reasons, but if i'm honest, I really don't. I'm selfish I know, but Ally you make me feel human again, you make me feel special and I have no idea what makes me feel this way. I knew what I did was wrong, so I thought is I was cold and heartless to you, I would learn to dislike you, but it didn't work. I lie on my bed trying to pursuade myself to get over this feeling, but I just can't. When the chance to let you go came I just couldn't, I'm sorry for being selfish, I'm sorry for taking everything from you, I'm sorry I've made you hate life, I'm sorry for loving you, I'm sorry that I'm the one that loves you. I'm just so fucking sorry."

The tears were flowing out of his eyes as he finished speaking. My mind took in every bit of imformation, the reason I was taken, why he was the way he was. Everything.

"You love me." I stated, my mind didn't comprehend.

"I love you Alissa, I do and I don't no how to cope. I don't" His voice wavered as he spoke. I was lost for words, as I turned to face him. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were red and watery. I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in for a hug. For an unknown reason, I began crying. I just cried and he just cried. We just cried, together, his arms wrapped around me as I sat on my knees between his legs. I knew it now, the small feelings I would get when he acted a certain way, the chills I seemed to get when he spoke, the giddyness that took over me when he looked me in the eye.

"I love you." He told me again. I opened my mouth but nothing came out so I nodded, as I cried, I pulled away, nodding again so he could see me.

"Shh." He told me, wiping to tears from my face, "It's fine."

"I don't know what to do" I confessed as more droplets of water fell from my eyes. "I can't...I don't"

"Shhh, it's fine, I didn't expect anything back." He mumbled, looking down at me, "I just needed to tell you."

I sighed, I felt something but not love. Definately not love.

"I'm confused, I just. I just don't know how i feel Louis. I like you, but-"

"Not that way?" He muttered.

"No, I like you like you, but you're a...a vampire. How does that work? It doesn't. It can't." I looked him in his eyes, they were full of emotion, saddness, hope, guilt.

"Do you need time?" He asked. I nodded, I needed time, thats exactly what I need.

I glanced down at his lips, then back up at his eyes only to realize he copying me, staring at my lips. He leaned in slowly, and I stood still, frozen on the spot. I didn't know what I wanted.

His lips touched mine briefly, but pulled away just as quick as they came.

"No." He said, running a hand through his hair. "You have to want to as well."

"I will." I said, "Maybe not right now but I will." I smiled at him.

He smiled back, pulling me towards him for a hug, which I gladly returned.
