Diana

Two - Dropped me Home

Was I in a dream, no I felt his presence, I thought. Regained my senses soon enough, thank god. I was sitting against the brick wall of one of the buildings. Everything seemed clouded, this shouldn't be a dream, I prayed.

As the dark place around me got clearer, I could see a group of people-maybe that drunk men group-at the other end. Taking the support of the wall, I stood up straight. The group was walking closer to me, but not with cross faces. Eased expressions lit up their faces. A form had emerged from that group of six men. With pleasant features, lovable appearance and charm stood my greatest idol, Louis Tomlinson.

"Are you fine, love?" he asked. I stood there still as if my body was numb. He waved his hand in front of my face, maybe to check if I was alright. I was rescued by Louis himself why won't I be alright. Anyway, I said "I'm perfectly fine now, thank you so much for asking. I was a little afraid of them chasing me." "Don't worry, love. They were furious about you punching Mark. But now he's fine, I've convinced them that you were just defending yourself. I'm sure you didn't do that intentionally." Louis said while waving bye to Mark and the others. Inside of me, I was laughing at the fact that Mark's face was slightly swollen.

It took a few minutes for the men to finally disappear. "By the way, I'm Louis," he said as we walked towards the main street. "My name is Diana and thank you so much for helping me out there, Louis," I said with my most pleased voice. " That was nothing. When you ran into me, you were tense. They were chasing you, so I figured out what had happened, gave a proper explanation from your point of view and they were convinced." he said. "You've saved my life, as always, "I said. He was about to say something, but then I turned towards the left street, and he was moving in the opposite direction. Realising this might be my last sentence to him, I said "My house is in this direction, I think we gotta part our ways now. "Diana I can come along, no worries" he turned towards me. "No Louis, It's fine. Moreover, One Direction is going on tour starting next week, you might have work," I said gently. "Oh c'mon D don't be formal, I can call you by that right?" he sighed. "Yes you can call me by that, and you may come along," I said. We took a left turn and were passing by the garden with not many people as it is 10pm. "So you know about One Direction?" he started the conversation. "I've been listening to your songs since I was a kid," I replied . "You remind us how old we are," he grinned. "It doesn't matter Louis, y'all are in your late twenties, age is just a number. One Direction will be loved as long as it makes people happy. As I said, you saved my life, not only today but since forever. Whenever I'm down, listening to your songs brings my dead self back to life. Being my idols, y'all inspired me. I can never ever thank you enough" I said in a low voice as we walked into another lane. "That means a lot D. People like you, praises like these encourage us and make us feel proud of what we do," he said with a thankful expression.

Ayden's villa was at a distance. All the lights were turned on, they might be worried. I promised Kiara that I'll be back in half an hour, but since the past two hours, I was out. "I really want to ask you, Diana, what is worrying you? What makes you feel down? '' Thinking about it kills me, Louis had made my pain disappear, I don't want to feel the pain again. So I interrupted by saying "Louis, I think we're here." " So that's your house," he asked. "No, that's my cousin Ayden's house. I came to London to visit him, I am actually from India," I replied. "That's awesome, India is a beautiful country, I always wanted to visit India," he exclaimed. "When I'm going back I'll take you along, what do you think?" I asked jokingly.

"I will come for sure tell me when you are leaving," he replied adding on to the humor.

"Ayden must be worried, I'll leave now," I said, taking a step backwards. "You were brave and awesome, it was really nice meeting you, D," he said. " Thank you so much for helping, too. Should we take a picture?" I asked. "Sure, we don't know when we'll meet again," he said. I handed over my phone to him, and we took a selfie. The picture was great, Louis with his signature smile and me with a peace sign. I waved at him, he waved back and I started moving towards the house. After a few steps, my phone buzzed, it was a confirmation message. I turned back and saw Louis who was already at the end of the lane, so I shouted: "Don't worry Louis, I'll see you again." "What do you mean?" he yelled back. "We'll meet again at the O2 Arena'' I screamed with excitement. "See you there,D" he waved at me. I waved back and went inside.

I explained to Ayden and Kiara what had happened, they had mixed expressions. I went to my room and lay on the bed. It didn't take hours for me to fall asleep like all the other days. I fell asleep thinking about my wonderful experience.
