Beach Nights- Louis Tomlinson

Conversing At Night

It’s a PA day for me today, and I don’t really have anything to do, well I went to see Skyfall which was really good! You should see it if you haven’t already. Anyway I’m bored so here’s a chapter for all of you lovely people, I’m warning you it’ll probably be pretty short but I don’t have much to say for this part so I hope you like it anyway. Comment, vote and fan (:

Louis POV

“Oh god, don’t tell me you’re in One Direction too!” I hear her exclaim laughing.

New Yorkhad actually come to meet me, just ended up arriving a little bit late, now we were talking and I accidentally brought up the video diaries. I think you can see the rest, she’d figured out who I was, just the opposite of what I wanted.

“What do you mean ‘too’?” I ask avoiding the obvious question of how she felt about me being a pop star.

“Oh well I met Niall and Zayn – they’re from One Direction – and when Niall introduced himself he sounded exactly like you do right now, as if he though I was going to blow up and kill him, I didn’t even realize that they were famous pop stars until later.” she explains and I let out a quiet sigh of relief, realizing she probably doesn’t think I’m actually in One Direction.

“Sounds like you had an interesting day.” I comment still a little shaken.

“Yeah I just wish Ben could have been there.” It sounds like something she didn’t really mean to say, as if it just slipped out before she even thought about it. Now I’m curious, who’s Ben? Does she have a boy friend or something; if she does I have to admit I’d be pretty sad even if I hardly know her.

“Who’s Ben?” I ask jealously creeping into my words, I hope she doesn’t notice.

“My brother.” She tells me and it sounds like she just choked it out, and she’s trying not to cry, what could have happened to make he so sad about her brother?

“And why can’t he be here?” I question concerned.

She doesn’t reply for a moment and I can’t help but wonder what’s going through her mind right now.

“He died a while ago.” The sad sounding girl says finally, in a very quiet voice and she sounds uncertain of her words, like she wants to say more but isn’t sure if she should.

Suddenly and without warning she breaks out in sobs; I’m shocked for a moment and I have no idea what to say, I’ve never lost a sibling before and I can’t imagine how she feels, I decide that above all she needs comfort right now so I move closer and wrap my arms around her.

I don’t say anything because I honestly don’t know what I would say if I did try to speak so for now I’m hoping my small form of comfort is enough for her.

We sit like that for a long while, I feel her small body convulsing with sobs and I don’t move away from her, eventually she relaxes and the two of us stay in silence for a moment, I don’t want to remove my arms from around her, but I realize that it would be a little inappropriate for me not to considering this is probably a really awkward moment for her.

“Are you alright?” I say finally, removing my arms from around her.

“Considering I just cried for fifteen minutes that’s a bit of a stupid question.” She replies not unkindly with a soft laugh.

“Yeah you’re right, do you want to talk about it?” I try again.

“Yes, well I don’t know, maybe.” She says sounding very uncertain.

“Should I change the subject then?” I offer.

“I think that’s a good idea, maybe we can talk about Ben later.” Her voice cracks when she says her brothers name, but she sounds quite a bit happier than she was a couple minutes ago, which I think is a good sign.
