Tangled Hearts: A Louis Tomlinson Fanfic

Brave

After a while, I was feeling better enough to take care of myself, so I let Niall, Liam, and Dani return to their hotel. Also, I just wanted to be alone for a while. I should have seen it coming. Louis and Eleanor were too perfect for each other to not be together. The reason for their break up was so they both could focus more on their careers. Eleanor broke it off with Louis because she just got scouted from being a Hollister model to a big time editorial model. She would be traveling a lot and would extremely busy, as would Louis, since he was 1/5th og One Direction, a famous international boyband. So they decided that it was for the better. Their whole break up didn't mean that they ever stopped loving each other. They just had to follow their dreams which was now their career.

I decided to go out for a walk. I stripped out of my pyjamas and slipped into a white tank and dark denim skinny jeans pairing them with my red converse and aviator sunglasses. I pulled my hair back into a ponytail with stray strands framing my face, shoved my keys in my pocket, and my wallet in my other pocket. 

I walked and walked eventually losing track of time. Not once did I check my phone no matter how much it rang. As I continued to walk, I passed a little bistro and noticed Dani and the all the boys eating, having a laugh with Eleanor. I thought about how it used to be me sitting there and not Eleanor, but then again, it used to be Eleanor sitting there before I was there. Before my heart couldn't take anymore I crossed the street. A loud honk woke me up from my daze when I saw a taxi heading straight for me. Lucky for me someone yanked me out of the way just in time.

"NIKKI! What the hell were you thinking." I heard a familiar voice yell. 

I didn't even bother to look and see who it was. I quickly fell back into my trance and thanked who ever it was nonchalantly before heading on my way. I felt an arm lightly grab hold of my shoulder, and I stopped realizing what had actually happened. 

"Nik..." I heard that same familiar voice. I didn't turn around, but instead stood in place completely still.

"Louis." I whispered.

"Why don't you join us?" He asked politely.

The invite utterly shocked me. Why in the world would I want to join them when he practically broke my heart and the woman he left me for was there as well. My blood started to boil. How could he be so stupid to ask me such a rediculous question. I snapped my head in his direction and glared at him, tears brimming around my eyes.

"Are you trying to hurt me?" My voice cracked. Before Louis could say a word, I left him to stand there alone. 

The tears continued to cascade down my face as I kept walking. I never thought heartbreak could feel this way. In the past it was never this painful, why did it have to feel this way now? When I finally stopped walking, I found myself at the park, the same park that Louis brought me to before he ran off to meet with... Eleanor. The little gazibo stood right in front of me. I walked in the shelter of the gazibo and scanned my surroundings. It was peaceful, quiet, and I was all alone. It actually felt nice. I felt myself relaxing and calming down at the tranquility of the night air. 

"I love you." I said out loud. 

"I've fallen so hard for you." I paused taking a deep breath.

"I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! LOUIS I LOVE YOU!"  I yelled at the top of my lungs as the tears made its' way down my cheeks once again.

"I'm such a fool." I sobbed falling to my knees and propping myself up with my hands.

"How could I let myself fall for him. I should have known. I'm so stupid." I continued.

"Nikki?" I heard a voice call my name. Without brushing the hair out of my face I looked up at the owner of the voice.

"Niall?" I mumbled.

"Are you okay?" His voice was soft and filled with worry. I let out a soft chuckle.

"I'm pathetic right? Look at me, I'm such a mess." I laughed miserably.

"Don't say that. You're brave." He said. I looked at him questioningly.

"At least you were able to open your heart to him. You were strong enough to fall in love, knowing that he could possibly hurt you. You were brave enough to put your heart out there. I don't think you're pathetic. I can't even do that. I'm afraid to get hurt, that I'm just waiting around for my 'princess' to come around. If I was as brave as you, I'd test the waters and give a nice girl a chance." I could hear the sincerity in his voice.

"Niall, I think you're smart. You're just protecting yourself. Something I should have done too. I was to quick to let Louis in." I finally stood up and walked over to him.

"Thanks Niall. You're a real sweetheart." I managed to smile and gave him a hug. He hugged me back. It felt so warm being in his arms.

"Lets get you back home, yeah?" He nudged my shoulder. I let out a giggle.

"Yeah, let's get out of here." I grabbed onto his hand. He gave my hand a squeeze before tugging me along.

While we were walking home, I never once let go of Niall's hand, nor did he try to detach himself. It felt like my big brother was here to rescue me. The walk back to my apartment was silent, but far from awkward. Having his company was more than enough to make me feel a lot better. I was looking at him when he glanced back catching me staring at him. He flashed me a smile and I returned the gesture. He yanked me forwards so that we were walking side by side.

"Don't worry, your big bro has got your back." He informed me with a giant grin. It was so contageous that a smile of my own formed on my lips.

"My big bro? Okay, next time I get bullied, I'll let them know my big bro will beat them up if they don't stop." I joked.

"As long as their not big and buff and able to kick my ass." He joked as well. We both laughed as we finally reached my house.

"Thanks Niall. You're the best big bro ever." I complimented.

"And you're the cutest little sis ever. Goodnight beautiful. Cheer up okay? Remeber, you're strong and you're brave." Niall commented before flashing another contageous smile and bringing me into a big Horan hug.

"Goodnight Niall. You're the best." I mumbled againt his chest.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He finally released me.

"I'll be looking forwards to it." I smiled before he turned around and left.
