Switched (Louis Tomlinson and Jade Thirlwall)

Chapter seventeen

Jade's POV

"No, Louis! For the last time! It's you can't go to bed! Not I can't go to bed!" the director yells at me. I sigh for what feels like the 1000th time that week. I look down at the watch I was wearing. 11:55. At 12:00 we would have lunch break and Little Mix would arrive and then Louis and I could talk.

"Yeah, what'a up Louis? You're usually the best with lyrics!" Zayn asks me. I shrug.

"I dunno." I say back.

"Ok. From the start of the second verse. Louis, that's you." the director says to me. I nod. "Ok, in 3, 2, 1, action!"

I start mouthing the words. "You can't go to bed without a cup of tea. And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep. And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep, though it makes no sense to me." I smile proudly after I'm done and I look at the director. He nods at me. They finish the rest of the video.

"Good job Louis. You didn't mess up. Well that's a wrap for today, boys. We'll see you again tomorrow." We all jump up and walk over to grab our lunches. We had wanted to go out, but Paul wouldn't let us so we had to pack our own.

I grab my brown bag and open it. I know this is weird, but I couldn't help myself. I took a sniff inside the bag. I loved that smell. It reminded me of when I was back in primary school.

"What are you doing?" Harry asks me, looking at me strangely. I look down, embarrassed.

"Nothing." I mumble. I reach inside the bag and pull out the limp sandwich I had prepared. I unwrap it from the plastic wrap and take a bite.

"So, are you guys excited for our first concert on Saturday?" Liam asks us. I spit out my sandwich. It lands in Zayn's hair.

"Ewwww! Louis! Gross! Seriously?!" he says, disgusted. But I ignore him.

"Concert?! On Saturday? It's already Wednesday!" I say shocked.

"Yeah. So?" Liam asks me.

C'mon, Jade. Stop acting like Jade and act like Louis. What would he say? "Oh. Yeah. I'm totally pumped!" I say. That was a fail.

They all look at me. "You've been acting weird ever since we started touring. Are you sure you're OK, Louis?" Niall asks me. I nod. There was no way they could find out. I have to start to act like Louis! Get a grip, Jade!

 After we finish our lunch, Little Mix arrives. Thank god. I think.  I walk straight up to Louis. "Ready?" I ask him. He nods. We walk out into the hall and into the other recording studio which is empty.

"I was a little better on Tiny Things today, but not much." I tell him.

"Well first of all, it's called Little Things. Not Tiny Things." he says back. "And second, sing my part back to me." What?

"Um, er, I, I mean you, YOU c-can't go t-to, sleep?" I manage to stutter out. He looks at me with utter contempt.

"No, no, no, and no." he says. "It's this: You can't go to bed, without a cup of tea. And maybe that's the reason that you talk in you're sleep. And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep, thought it make no sense to me." he sings. It was so weird to hear myself sing from someone else's ears and him singing a song that wasn't by Little Mix. "No you try." he says.

I clear my throat. "It's this: You can't go to bed, without a cup of tea. And maybe that's the reason that you talk in you're sleep. And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep, thought it make no sense to me." I try to sing. He nods.

"Better, but not quite. You aren't on the right key." he says. I let out a sigh of relief. At least he didn't run me down.

"Well, what key is it in?" I ask.

 After about an hour of practicing Little Things, I think I've finally gotten it down.

"How much longer do we have?" I ask Louis. He looks at his watch.

"About half an hour." he answers.

"Ok, well I'll help you with DNA if you want." I say to him. He nods.

"That'd be great." he says.

"Ok, well, do you know my part at all?" I question him.

"Uh, well I know that one part that goes: If you can't feel me in my veins, wait, no. It's If I can't feel you in my blood, wait. No. I don't." he admits and gives up. I chuckle.

"Well it goes like this," I take a breath and start to sing. "Ohh, and my heart won't beat again if I can't feel him in my veins. No need to question, I already know!" I stopped singing and blushed. I never thought that I would be singing a Little Mix song to Louis Tomlinson as Louis Tomlinson. But then again, who would?

"So, can you sing that back?" I say to him. He shrugs.

"Probably."

"Ok. Let's see it then." He clears his throat.

"Ohh. And his- my heart won't beat again if I can't feel you in my veins. No need to question, I already know." he struggles out.

"Closer. But said a few things wrong." I say. "First, it's I can't feel him in my veins. Second, you need to make the end loud, as if you were putting an exclamation at the end." He nods.

"Ok."

He sings the part again and he gets it. I glance up at the clock and see that it's time to go.

"Well, that's all the time for today." I say.

"Yeah." he says. "See ya." And he walks out of the room.

What? No thank you? Oh well.
