The only way I seem to be able to control the growing feelings I have for Louis, is to write him songs. Not ones that I would ever show anyone, but they help nether the less.
I'm currently sitting on my bed finishing one of these songs, the one I'm working on is called Two Ghosts. It's kind of about not being the person as I use to be. That I've changed, and so has Louis. We're not the same people that walked onto the X factor stage, three years ago. I'm finally finished and am just reading through it again, when Niall barges through the door
"Hey Harry, I accidentally just used your toothbrush-".
"Niall what the hell?! Haven't you heard of knocking?!?!?!" I say shoving my lyric book under my pillow, hopefully fast enough so he didn't see it.
"No I wasn't aware of it. Whatcha got there?"
Not fast enough apparently. "Nothing-Niall!!!!"
Niall jumped on my bed, snatched the book and was running down the hall with it, laughing his head off as he ran.
"Keeping a diary are we?"
"Niall I'm serious, give it back!!!!"
Thank god we're the only ones home I couldn't deal with all the other boys reading my book as well.
When I've ran down the stairs, I'm expecting Niall to be still running around the house like a madman. But instead I find him sitting on the couch, quietly reading my book. I'm staring at him, reading my book. A book containing all my thoughts and feelings I've had about Louis. I start to lose all feeling in my body. Those songs are so important to me. It makes me feel so vulnerable, someone reading all my thoughts and feelings, in the form of lyrics. Sure, I've helped write songs before, but that was with the boys and they were not songs that actually had feelings and emotions behind the lyrics.
Before I can say anything, Niall looks up from the book.
"Harry did you write this?"
I nervously looked at the ground. "Yeah, but I know it's not good. It's not like I was going to show anyone. No one was supposed to know about them."
"No Harry it's incredible, really. But, um, can I just ask, um, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, um, it seems kind of personal, so, um-"
"For gods sake Niall! What is it?!"
Now it's his turn to look at the ground. "No, don't worry, forget I said anything."
"Niall!"
"Well I was just going to ask...who's it about?"
"Ummmm, well, you see, um..."
"No seriously forget I asked." Niall turns to walk away, handing me the book as he past me. "It really is a beautiful song"
I sigh. "Niall, wait,"
"Yeah?"
"I can...I can trust you right?"
"Of course Harry, you should always know that I'm here for you."
We sit down on the couch, I start fiddling with my thumbs nervously. I decided there's no use in waiting any longer.
"Niall, the song's about Louis."
