Peacemaker

Chapter ten- sing sing sing

Lea's point of view.....

Louis's hand is warm in mine as we stroll down the beach, the cool water lapping against our heels. Louis hums a tune and I listen to his voice in wonder. It's so beautiful, so perfect, and its all mine.

"I never want this summer to end" I sigh, and Louis stops humming

"it doesn't have to Lea"

"Yeah it does" I reply "I have to go home one way or another. I've finished school, but I still have this collage my parents want me to go to, and I can't let them down."

"Where is this collage?" I gulp. I have never wanted to tell this to Louis, he's going to get mad, I know he is

"America," I say slowly, and Louis stops walking

"What? America?" He says "when were you going to tell me this?"

"I don't know," I mumble "I knew you were going onto be mad and I didn't want to-"

"Lea I'm not mad," Louis says "I'm sad. I don't want you to go away. What are you planning to study anyway?"

"Teaching, I think" I say

"Don't give me that Lee Lee" Louis groans "you've never wanted to be a teacher and you know it! Just because your parents say so doesn't mean you have to do it!"

"Uh, yeah it does" I reply "they're my parents!"

"How old are you?" I snort

"Duh! Nineteen!"

"Then that makes you an adult and capable of making your own choices!" I brighten

"Yeah Lou! You're right!" Louis picks me up and twirls me around

"I'm always right! Now what do you really want to do?"

"Not telling!" I say stubbornly "you'll laugh at me!" Louis stops twirling me and looks me in the eye

"I promise I won't laugh at you" reassured, I take a deep breath

"Sngn" I say, so my words are diliberately in audible

"Can't hear you" Louis says teasingly

"SINGING!" I shout "I WANT TO SING!" Louis looks shocked

"Really?" He asks "you never told me!"

"Because I knew I'd never be able to be as good as you!" I look down, drawing pictures in the sand with my toes

"Well you never know until you try" Louis says "sing!"

"What? You actually want me to sing?"

"No, I want you to jump off a cliff, swim one hundered miles and then ride a unicorn into the sunset. What do you think?" I am still uncertain, but hey, it's only Louis right? I take a deep breath, and begin

"I heard, that you, settled down, that you, found a girl, and you're, married now....." I sang through a whole verse and a chorus before finally fading out. I opened my eyes, which had been closed in fear, to find Louis staring dumbfounded at me

"That bad huh?" I ask

"Are you kidding?" Louis yells, taking me in his arms and spinning me around "that was bloody brilliant Lee Lee!"

"Really?" I squeal, sounding like an excited child "you think I have a future with this?"

"I don't think, I know!" He sets me down, and grabs my hand, and starts to pull me toward the house "lets go show the others!"

Elizabeth's point of view......

I'm in the living room talking to the guys, when Lea and Louis enter, both wearing exited smiles

"Boys! Listen up!" Louis says "I have excellent news!"

"I knew it!" Harry says, punching Liam in the shoulder "I win!"

"You don't even now what is is yet Haz!" Niall hisses

"Yeah mate," I add "calm your farm!" I turn to Louis and explain "Harry and Liam had this bet that you were proposing to Lea!" Louis looks confused for a moment

"No, that's not what I did!" Harry groans, plopping back down on the couch

"You could at least have pretended you had Lou!" He says "Liam's never gonna let me hear the end of it!" As if on cue, Liam starts up

"I win! You lose! I win! You lose!" He does a little dance

"Yeah whatever boys!" Louis says impatiently "what I was going to tell you was that Lea here just showed me she can sing!"

"What?" The cry comes up from all of us. No no no this is not happening! Singing is just one more talent to add on to Lea's perfect image. Great! How am I supposed to get Louis now?

"That's great Lee!" I say, forcing a smile onto my face. Lea gives me a weird look. I can tell she's still pissed at me for this morning.

"And," Louis adds "I am personally going to London next year to recommend Lea for the music programme at London Academy of Music Arts!"

"Seriously?" Lea screams "I can't believe it! Oh my God!" She hugs Louis tightly and starts giggling madly. I can't help but smile too.

"If you could excuse me boys," Louis says, fetching himself from Lea's grip "I need to make a phone call" he kisses Lea on the cheek and strides off to his room. I take a breath. This is it. What I am going to do now will either ruin my relationship with Louis, or break Lea's heart. Either way someone will get hurt, so I may as well do it. I stand up, excusing myself to gontonthe bathroom, and follow Louis.
