Night Changes// L.T AU

Chapter 15- awake

I woke up like 3 hours later, Louis' hand still clutched onto mine, it was damp with sweat. The moonlight illuminated his beautiful face, his eyebrows were furrowed and his forehead was damp with condensation. I wonder what he was dreaming about, I hope it wasn't a nightmare, but with the sweat forming on him, I wasn't sure.

I was still tired and I could probably fall back asleep, but I felt the need to stay up and watch Louis, I needed to protect him.

I knew that he was safe as long as I can see him, nothing could hurt him, while I was looking at him.

It was still pretty early, so I didn't expect him to wake up any time soon.

"I love you," I whispered to Louis.

His lips tugged up into a smile, and I knew he could hear me.

I just want him to know how much he means to him, although I haven't known him for that long, he easily made his way to the top of my favorite people list. I had no idea that broken boy in the bar, would end up meaning so much to me. All of this was unexpected, but I'm glad this is how my unfortunate situation turned out. I've always been told to make the best out of every situation although I've always thought it was a load of shit, it's exactly what I'm currently doing, I guess.

Jay started to toss and turn on the couch and I wondered if she would wake up soon. I hope she was dreaming sweet dreams. Although I haven't known her for long at all, she seems like a really good person and I'd love to get to know her better. I hope she doesn't really believe that she is the reason that Louis is in this condition. I don't know their relationship at all, but she seems like a really good mom, but I guess I don't really know. I don't know her on that level, so I guess I'm really not in the place to judge.

The sun barely started to rise, but more light entered the room as time passed. I was still exhausted nonetheless. I was just too happy to go back to sleep. Louis being awake is the best thing that could've happened, I'm so glad that I have him back. I've missed him so much, his sarcastic comments, his stupid jokes, his smile, his uplifting personality, everything really. He's such an amazing person and a light in this world. Anybody would be lucky to know him. I'd love to get to know him better, a day with Louis is a good day.

My eyes wanted to close, but I focused on the wall and tried to stay awake, when they wake, I hope we could grab a coffee or something.

I was already exhausted and the day hasn't even started, I was already thinking about going to sleep tonight. I'd probably sleep really good and it was quite pleasant to think about.  My bed is always a comforting thought to think about to be honest. It's honestly probably my favorite place ever.

The urge to go to the bathroom hit me, I really didn't want to move though because there was a chance I might disturb Louis if I removed my hand from his. And that was the last thing I wanted to do, I wanted him to get a good night sleep so in the morning he could be as well rested as possible and as close to his usual self as possible.

I've known Louis for a little over 9 months, I think or around there.

I'd honestly love to start a relationship with him, I'm not going to throw anything at him, but if he's ready, and wants to, I don't think either of us would stop it. He means so much to me, and I'm sure I mean a decent amount to him too. He hasn't exactly told me how he feels, but he has shown some affection towards in more than a friendly way. At least that's how I've perceived it. And Jay has told me he really likes me, which honestly thrills me.

How we met was so unexpected and weird, but I wouldn't have changed it then and I wouldn't change it now.

The sun started to find it's s place in the sky, I honestly wanted to go to the window and watch it, but I couldn't disturb Louis, I couldn't risk it.

Soon it was a reasonable hour and I hoped that they would wake soon because honestly I was starving and a cup of coffee didn't sound too bad.

I saw Jay starting to stir in her sleep. She looked so peaceful sleeping and I hope she was as peaceful as she looks.

I really hope that everything goes smoothly for this family because they all seem like really good people who deserve the world. All I want for them is to be happy.

Jays eyes slowly opened as she rubbed them and looked at me.

"Did you sleep," she asked sitting up.

I was surprised how fast she got up, it takes me much longer.

She came over and sat on the other side of Louis.

"He always looks so peaceful when he sleeps," she remarked, pushing some hair away from his face.

"Yeah, he looks so at peace," I agree, adjusting my hand in his.

Jay looked up at me with a sparkle in her eye, "would you ever consider dating Louis," she asked a hint of hope in her voice.

"I do like him a lot, I just felt like I had to wait, so he wouldn't be a rebound for me per say," I explained.

"I don't think he'd want you to be a rebound either, I could tell losing his girlfriend was really tough on him, but he's getting through it.

"Yeah, I know he was so broken the first night I met him. I'm so happy I was the one to be there and not some other girl. Although I'm disappointed my wedding is over, I'm extremely happy that I met him. He's honestly such a light in this world. You've raised a great man," I tell her.

Louis starts to groan stretching his arms up and eventually opening his eyes.

"How did you sleep," I ask him, squeezing his hand.

"I feel a lot better," he remarks smiling.

His smile has honestly been enough to brighten my day.

"I heard everything you guys were saying," he cheekily announces.

"Oh did you," I retort sticking out my tongue.

"I'm going to go get the doctor," Jay announces standing up.

"Okay," I said watching her exit the room.
