Brisa
Louis Tomlinson
Here I sit, on a bench in the park in the middle of winter. I cupped my hands over my mouth and let out a long breath, attempting to warm my frozen fingers. No matter the temperature, I always come here if I need to think. Sadly, almost every time I come here, its the same issue to think about. Love.
This time it's about my newly ex-boyfriend Andrew, and right now all I am wondering is how I could have been so stupid. I mean, everyone asks themselves this question when they go through a break up, but mine is different. I wasn't in love with him or anything, just needy.
I felt my phone buzz in the pocket of my jacket and retrieved it with shaky fingers. I glanced at the screen, an incoming call illuminating it.
I slid the button to answer and held the phone up to my ear, "Hello?"
"Briiiiii," Louis carried out, as if I was supposed to admit something.
"What Lou?" I snapped.
"Geez, calm down," he chuckled.
"Sorry," I said and looked at my hand, trying to keep it from trembling.
"It's fine. Now, why are you sitting here when you could be hanging out with your best friend?" I felt my lips curl into a small smile and glanced up, looking around me. I saw Louis peeking out from behind a tree and smiling.
"You know I come here to think," I said, s=remaining where I was.
"Well, if you need to think," he said, coming out from behind the tree and walking over, "Think out loud while we grab some hot cocoa."
"Sounds like a plan," I giggled and stood up. I closed my phone and gave Louis a hug.
"Now come on," he said and we began walking towards the bridge, our hands buried inside our pockets, "What were you thinking about, Huh? What's troubling you?"
"Anoothher break up," the words were so familiar, my mouth was sick of uttering them.
I heard Louis sigh next me, "What was his name this time?"
"Andrew," I said, staring at the ground as we walked.
"Hmm," he said, sounding as if he was actually considering it, "Sounds like a douschebag."
This made me laugh, making my heart feel a bit lighter, "Yaaa, that's what he turned out to be."
"I know I can't get you to realize how bad it is for you to keep doing this to yourself," he said, exhaling dramatically, "But I wish I could try."
"I know, Lou," I said, feeling foolish, "I have gotten the same talk from so many others. I am just glad I don't get it from you. It makes my ears bleed hearing the same thing over and over again."
We passed over the bridge in silence, not knowing what else to say.
"Well, he must have been a dumb ass, too," he finally spoke and i looked up at him, "Cause now he's got me as an enemy."
"You wouldn't hurt a fly," I laughed, "You're a softy."
"Hey, now that hurts," he said, making me laugh harder from the sarcasm in his voice, "I take offense."
"Well, you wouldn't hurt him no matter how badly you wanted to," I said as we turned the corner, towards the coffee cart.
"I would if he hurt you," he said, more serious than his previous words, "Anyone who hurts you has to deal with these bad boys!"
He lifted his arm and flexed, patting the top of it to indicate he had muscle.
"Oh, please," I joked, "We both know that arm is full of carrots and nutella."
"Well, that is a very well balanced diet," he said and I nudged him. We always joked around like this, giving each other crap and pretending to be offended.
We reached the coffee cart and I ordered us two hot chocolates. I was about to pay when, of course, Louis swats my hand away and hands the guy a five, thanking him.
"You know," I said as we picked up our hot chocolates, "One day I am actually going to pay and you'll just have to deal with it."
"Yeah, yeah," he laughed and we kept walking around.
"Hey," he said as we were approaching the restrooms, "Can you hold this? I need to use the loo."
"Its a bathroom," I corrected him as he handed me his cup.
"Whateever," he taunted and walked away.
I walked over to the bench not too far away and sat down, sipping my hot chocolate.
Five minutes passed by, and then ten. Something was suspicious.
I pulled out my phone and speed-dialing Louis, the call going to voicemail.
"Great," I muttered to myself.
I sat there, almost finished with my hot chocolate when I heard Louis call my name. I glanced up and saw not only him, but the boys of One Direction standing there with him. Niall was holding his guitar and all of them were bundled up in their winter coats and scarves.
"Louis," I said, skeptical but humored, "Whats going on?"
"The boys and I have a little something to sing for you," was all he said before Niall began strumming and all the boys began to hum.
Louis began to sing….
I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house,
If things go wrong we can knock it down,
My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you,
People passing by began to stop and watch, much like myself, but they could never be as surprised as I was. I was smiling by the time Harry began to sing...
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
All the boy began to sing together, and I was just sitting there like a little kid in awe.
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now, nowww,
Liam began and went up behind Louis, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him as if in congratulations.
I'm gonna paint you by numbers and color you in,
If things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall,
Niall began, stepping forward.
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
And I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours
All the boys started up again, Louis coming up and taking my hand, standing me up.
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
Zayn started as well…..
Don't hold me down,
I think my braces are breaking and it's more than I can take
Louis finally took over and looked into my eyes as he did.
And if it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
They all began again….
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
Louis was left, moving closer and resting his forehead on mine.
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now.
That was it. That was all it took for me to lean in and kiss him. As soon as I touched his lips, the stars aligned and I came for realize that what was standing in front of me, it was my future. Louis has been trying to tell me all along that he was the guy for me, and I… I was too oblivious to see it.
Now, I was in his arms and everything felt perfect. That is… until Liam cleared his throat, making me pull apart form Louis, both of us giggling.
"So," I said, "Is that what you wanted to tell me?"
He nodded and I smiled, then realized we were still being watched by the boys.
"Hey," I said, turning to them, "You guys should really go try the coffee cart over there."
"Ohh coffee!" said Niall, who was now on his way over, leaving Liam, Harry, and Zayn.
I waited for them to get the hint when finally Liam realized, "Oh, oh yeah. Come on guys, lets go grab some coffee."
"Do you think they have tea?" Harry asked, completely clueless.
Liam glared at him, making Zayn, Louis, and I laugh, "I don't now, why don't we go check?" he said.
Finally, Harry got it through his thick mop of hair, "Oh," he laughed, "You guys wanted be alone, huh?"
"Kinda," said Louis, shrugging his shoulders with sarcasm.
"Well then, uh," he said awkwardly.
"Zayn? Please?" I laughed, looking at him. He chuckled and nodded, "Ya, come on Harry!"
He pulled Harry by the arm and Liam followed.
I turned back to Louis, which only made us laugh.
"So, where were we?"
Authors Note!
Hey Guys! I wanna make this quick, so... I know this may sound weird but I have noticed something. Most of my views are mainly on my first three chapters. And I realized that most people don't want to read all of the chapters, so I thought about doing something. Maybe, after I write my 50th chapter on here, I will start another oneshot story thing. It will still be the same thing as this, but it wont be as much to read when people find it. Alright, lemme know what you think about that, and also please review!
