Chapter 8 - Love Like This

                                    

                                          
Sorry that last one was so short, I wrote it just before school started and didn't get a chance to truly figure out what I was getting at, so I got it out of the way so I could start a new idea. 
                          
Oh, Lou. When will he ever learn that he's so loved? Ugh, gosh. I can't get over how perfect he is, can you? Liam too... They're so perfect for each other it's ridiculous. 
                          
Anyway, ON WITH THE STORY. I've decided to write the same thing in two point of views, so you have both sides to make it a little more interesting (;

Liam--
                          
After Ziall's little outburst, I looked over at Lou with a comforting smile, which he returned. Did he really love me, too? 
                          
My heart was pounding a thousand times a second. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. Louis Tomlinson, the love of my life, loved me back. It was too much for me to comprehend. After all this time, after all my waiting, after all my dreaming, it was suddenly right in front of my face. It was too good to be true, please don't let it be too good. I want this. I need this. I need Lou.
                          
Had I really witnessed this? Was I in a dream, never to get back up again?
                          
I had almost missed it when Lou actually got up and left.
                          
He left.
                          
My heart sank so deep I thought it was going to come out of my foot. Never had my heart been so stomped on in my life. I felt completely drained in my happiness. I wanted to curl into a ball beneath the table and throw a crying tantrum. 
                          
Niall looked at me, and I knew in an instant he knew what I was thinking. 
                          
"Go, Liam. Love like this should never go unchased," Niall said, seriously. 
                          
I got up immediately, running out into the cold day. I scanned the streets with my eyes, seeing red-hot pants and a blue striped shirt. I ran as fast as I could, screaming.
                          
"Louis! Louis Tomlinson you get your arse back over here!"
                          
He continued walking. As soon as I caught up, I ran in front of him, grabbing his shoulders and stopping the both of us. He wouldn't look me in my eyes. I was hurting, but I needed him to see that I loved him, and I wasn't going to let this go.
                          
"Lou, you don't go running as soon as something like that goes loose," I said, trying to say it as lovingly as possible, even though I was slightly pissed inside.
                          
He didn't answer me. My body was aching now. Not hearing him speak or laugh was one of the most horrible sounds to hear. Silence.
                          
I decided to say the one thing I never thought I'd say in my life. 
                          
"Louis, I love you. I've wanted to tell you that for such a long time but I just couldn't do it. I knew we had Danielle and Eleanor, but through that... You were the only thing that kept me going when I was down. You picked me up and never let me go. Every moment that I share with you is the best in my life. What we have, is something I never want to lose. It would break my entire existence and shatter me to pieces. Lou, you are my first love. I will never ever stop chasing y--"
                          
I was interrupted by soft, tentative lips on mine. My eyes fluttered shut, but I saw fireworks, rainbows, everything that was beautiful in the world. Everything felt perfect. Everything felt right. All my worries seemed to be washed away.
                          
I deepened the kiss, wrapping my arms around his waist. Our lips moved perfectly in sync now, and I felt his arms fold around my neck. We pressed ourselves into each other, so no part of our bodies were left untouched, even down to our toes. This moment was ours. All of our feelings for each other surged into this one perfect moment. It was the one thing I dreamed of the most.
