My soldier, Her Irish Angel

Chapter 17

The moral of this story is that no matter how hard we try, no matter how much we want it...some stories just don't have a happy ending"

Daphne's Pov

I ran and I think I understand everything now. Louis and I are will meet here, but I know what he's going to say, and is it bad that I'm not mad at him anymore. He is my kryptonite. I stop running and realize I'm at the tree I look up and I see I'm home free but I hesitate I know Louis is shortly behind and he has to understand. At least now I get it, that I wasn't in two places at once it was a memory from the future. I guess this is the moment we connect for the first time, that's why this one was displayed. I look at the treehouse, one last time, am I really ready, would I really mean all those words I'm supposed to say? Or will he say any of what he said the first ti-

"I'm sorry I had no right, and I know it was inexcusable. I'm scared and confused, and I thought that Rufio-" Louis was cut off, and I knew every word that I was going to say.

I reach and put a gentle hand on his cheek, I hold back my nostalgia and look at him with all the love I hold for him.

"You know, I always thought you would look adorable if you made those puppy dog eyes," I say, looking into his wonderful blue eyes. There were filled with so much surprise yet happiness.

I continue starting out softly but then breaking into a small whisper as I tear up. I don't remember doing this but then again I did look down to the ground at this part "Louis, I know that you don't know and nor do you believe that we're true loves but, ever since I knew about your existence, saw your face."

I stop for a slight moment when his eyes flicker to my lips, "I had fallen in love with you, call it love at first sight or whatever, but that feeling only grew stronger when I found out you were alive, and you never have to apologize to me. You were speaking from your emotions alright? One more thing..." I kiss him on the cheek, it's softer then I thought it would be, I let myself linger for a second more before letting go, I saw him blush and that made me feel accomplished. I whipped out my signature smirk.

"...I love you Lou, but" his blush dropped at my lowering voice "Don't ever try to hurt or insult any of my friends they don't deserve that okay?" Louis was shocked at my lowered voice but nodded anyway.

I then walk towards the treehouse, I remember something and turn around, I saw Louis was still frozen, okay sass master my turn "Well aren't you coming or is that all it takes to overwhelm the Louis Tomlinson!"

I smiled as he followed, I grabbed his arm much to his surprise and wrapped it around me, as we went up the elevator I lean my head on his shoulder.

"You know I waited almost 4 lifetimes for this"

"I don't understand how you could wait that long"

"Well to be fair I never knew I was waiting, but since we are in this position and we are cool now, I need to speak to you about telling Niall to not piss four off..."

I Swear those boys are idiots for part taking in the game. Especially, Niall, I'm glad Liam didn't join, hell I didn't either. I ran after them though, and it got to the point where the boys followed too. I look back and I see them still behind, you know I thought we would have lost them a mile back. That's the thing in Neverland, you're stronger here, it's what makes me able to run 4 miles straight instead of my usual 2. I see Sophie was headed for her lake and Daphne for the treehouse, but Four she looked like she was going to her thinking tree, that poor kid. She only goes there when she truly doesn't know what to do.
