CHAPTER 20

After saying goodbye to Louis's mum and dropping Niall off at his flat, I took Louis home, hopefully to get some sleep. But if he wanted to I'd stay up all night with him. When we entered Louis's flat he went straight into his bedroom and fell into the bed. He was in his clothes AGAIN so I forced him to sit up and I pried his shirt from his body and handed him a T-shirt, he rubbed his eyes and began putting it on but started drifting off to sleep again, "come here Lou" I smiled reaching my arm out, he yawned and then scooted closer and lifted his arms up so I could put on his shirt, (that was just adorable I don't care what you say) I snickered as he began falling asleep again, he layed his head on my knee as tears streamed down his cheeks. Uh oh..had I done something to upset him? I'll never know what goes on in his mind.."what's the matter Louis?" I asked, gently stroking his cheek and wiping away his tears. He wouldn't say and kept sniffling. "c-can you s-sing?" He mumbled through sobs, "sing to you?" He nodded closing his eyes and sighing. "Um ok" I started singing to him quietly while wiping the tears from his face. "Just close your eyes the sun is going down, You'll be alright no one can hurt you now, come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound" I finished singing and to my surprise Lou had fallen asleep, I pulled the covers over us and reached over to turn off the lamp when his hand grabbed my arm. "What is it Louis?" I said softly taking his hand in mine, "c-can you s-stay..?" "yes I will stay, now go to sleep, I promise I'll be here when you wake up" he gave a pleased nod and a layed his head back down. "Goodnight Louis" I sighed closing my eyes and pulling the blankets closer. "goodnight" he yawned. What?! Had he actually just spoke to me? In a normal fashion not screaming at me, or crying...it almost didn't seem normal..having him respond. It was nice though.. "good night.." I said once more smiling. "Hmmm" he groaned kicking my leg, I laughed and closed my eyes after glancing Louis. Maybe, just maybe things would be ok?
