The Brunette

Chapter 47

(Niall's pov): "Hey you crazy mofos. I know Ive gone MIA for a few days but Ive been busy." I say, thinking about all these days spent with Bella. "So Ive decided Im going to do a cover for you guys." I smile at the camera absentmindedly while fixing my quiff.

"So today's song is House of Gold by Twenty One Pilots. I changed one or two of the words so that the song applies to someone really special to me." I smile again, imagining telling Bella I love her after she watches this video.

I turn on the song from my phone, listening to the music start in one ear. I would've played this on my guitar but it hasn't come in from Ireland yet. "She asked me, love when I grow old, will you buy me a house of gold? And when our world turns to stone, will you take care of me?" I sing, trying to do my best.

I want Bella to hear how much love I have for her just from my voice.

"She asked me, love when I grow old, will you buy me a house of gold? And when our world turns to stone, will you take care of me?" I repeat before my favorite part comes up. "I will make you queen of everything you see, I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease." I sing with feeling, finally letting out my emotions and thoughts that I had kept in for so long.

Let's say we up and left this town,

And turned our future upside down.

We'll make pretend that you and me,

Lived ever after happily.

She asked me, love when I grow old,

Will you buy me a house of gold?

And when our world turns to stone,

Will you take care of me?

I will make you queen of everything you see,

I'll put you on the map,

I'll cure you of disease.

And since we know that dreams are dead,

And life turns plans up on their head,

I will plan to be a bum,

So I just might become someone.

She asked me, love when I grow old,

Will you buy me a house of gold?

And when our world turns to stone,

Will you take care of me?

"I will make you queen of everything you see, I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease." I finish slowly, ending with a half smile.

"I love you." I say unexpectedly. I smile shyly, touching my cheeks. They're slightly warm with the thought of Bella seeing this in a matter of hours.

"Bye guys, see you later." I sign off absentmindedly, feeling numb with excitement. I shut off the camera, a huge smile plastered on my face. I go into Louis's room and steal his laptop, opening it up in my room. Louis usually edited my videos but I guess I had to today if I want it by tomorrow.

I have a feeling Louis wasn't coming back today. I also feel like Louis and Harry are a little more than friends. It would certainly explain a lot. I just hope Bella doesn't find out right now.

(Bella's pov): I sit on the couch, looking through magazines.

I can't look like Im upset.

Harry and me broke up.

He has the right to date who ever he wants.

There's nothing wrong with that.

"I'd introduce myself but I just forgot my name." A masculine voice above me says. I look up to see a boy, about my age, with black hair brushed so it all went one way. He had small diamond earrings which gave the right note of punk without going over the top. Eyeliner encircles his steely grey eyes. He wears all black, down to his vans, skinny jeans and to his band T shirt.
