That Boys Trouble, He's My Trouble

Love at first sight was a danger to us all

Liam's POV

From the moment I had woken up this morning something just hadn't felt right. The sun had risen like always and the birds had sung the same sweet melody they sang everyday but I couldn't help feeling something was different.

Maybe it was this feeling inside of me, this uneasiness, a concern for someone else that I hadn't felt in a while. It is not that I don't have people I care about, I have Niall and Josh, but they could always take care of themselves. I knew of something happened they would be able to hold their own.

But him, I knew if something were to happen to him he would just crumble, in able to defend himself or even to muster up the courage and run. He needed someone to watch after him, to protect him from the world. I knew it the second I looked into his eyes, they were filled with the kind of innocence that needed to be preserved, that I would fight to preserve.

All I know about the boy is the way his eyes glimmered on the dark street and how his breath hitched when I pulled him closer, but I couldn't stop thinking about him. This made no sense to me, I don't date, I don't care and if I did, it definately wouldn't be for the boy who practically ran from my touch.

I don't chase after anyone, if someone wants me they can come get me but I can't help feeling the urge to chase that boy to the ends of the earth.

Everything in the world was the same, the only thing that had changed was me. I felt my hard exterior melt as a fond expression leveled over my face.

Love at first sight was never anything I had believed in before.

But you can't help who you fall in love with, or how, or when, or anything really. You just have to roll with it, let it take you where it wants to go.

It's like the wind, and you're a plastic bag. It flings you around in jerking motions and all you can do is hope, hope that when you land it's gentle and easy and there is someone there, waiting to pick you up.

The wind was picking up, it took all I had to keep my feet on the ground. How could I begin to fall for someone I didn't know?

I couldn't, I couldn't let myself fall because I knew I wouldn't land gently.
