Hello Loves! So sorry for the lack of writing. I have been sick the past couple of days and have not been able to find the energy to write. Thank you for all the love and support it means so much! I hope you are loving it as much as I love writing these incredible characters. Please don't forget to tell me what you think I love reading them. This chapter was so much fun to write, it being in Wills point of view!
Will's POV
From the moment Lou told me about the threats she and her family were getting it was the only thing I could think about. I was the reason they were being targeted, I was the one who put that on them. They deserved none of that especially Louisa. She did not like my decision, the only reason she was there was because I asked her to be. Clark did everything she could to change my mind taking me on adventures and even giving me her heart. She did it, she changed it, she was the only one who could have healed this broken man.
The night before the interview I got no sleep all I could think about was the things I was going to say to make everything right. Lou woke up a little before 6. It looked like she did not get enough sleep either, but she still looked beautiful. Her eyes, oh those eyes, blue and gold I could not get enough of those eyes.
Her hand intertwined with mine and her head on my chest was how I would wake up since she started sleeping with me. After my accident I had lost all hope that someone would love me and that I would wake up to someone else in the bed with me, but she gave me hope, she gave me a reason to wake up and I loved waking up to that sweet voice and her sweet lips on mine.
¨Good Morning¨ She said picking her head up to look at me.
¨Good Morning Clark¨ I said staring into her eyes.
She got up and headed for the kitchen. Minutes later she was back with my medication and a glass of water. We did not say a whole lot that morning, but you could feel the tension in the air. We were not sure what was going to happen in the interview, but I knew that whatever happened lou would be by my side.
Nathan came a bit earlier that usual to get me ready because we had planned the interview to be filmed bright and early. Louisa´s whole family came to the annex about 10 minutes before the interviewers came. Both my parents came as well and we all just sat there waiting for what was about to happen.
The interviewers came along with about half the town. As they were setting up cameras and lighting Lou was fixing my hair and making sure that I was in her words ¨Camera Ready.¨
And then it started. They interview both my parents and Lou's parents. My Mum answered with a very defensive tone and my Dad answered with one or two word answers. He seemed almost fed up or nervous with the questions being asked Clark's parents answered with as much love as they could in terms of talking about what I put their daugher through.
The camera then pointed to Clark and I noticed she became quite nervous. I could not hold it in any longer and I started talking. I did not look into the camera, but I looked at Clark. Everything I said was for her and everything I said I said out of love.
¨Louisa Clark and her family have been through a lot the past few weeks and they have been receiving threats that they don't deserve. If anyone deserves them It's me.¨ I felt Lou gently place her hand on my shoulder. ¨When Lou first accepted this job she had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I was not in a good place and I had lost all hope. When she entered my life and learned what I wanted to do she made it her mission to change this broken mans mind. She has given me so much and I hope one day I can repay her. When we first met I tried to push her away in hopes that I would not cause her pain and put a burden on her, but she gave me her heart and like I was scared of, I hurt her. She means the world to me and the only reason she went to Switzerland with me is because I asked her to come with me. Selfishly I wanted her to be that last thing I saw. She gave her heart to me and I said no, but after realizing that I could not live without her in that little room in Switzerland I hope that she will one day allow me to have her heart again and lover her like she deserves. I may not be able to give her what I would have before my accident, but I promise to give her everything I can. I love her so much and I am so lucky she was the one my Mum hired to just maybe change my mind. I love you Clark, and I hope you will one day forgive me for what I have put you through.¨
Tears were now running down both our faces and we both had forgotten the cameras were there.
¨I love you William Traynor¨ Lou said trying hard for the camera not to see her.
¨Thank you for everything you have given me and I hope that you will allow me to have your heart.¨ I said placing my forehead against hers.
¨You already have it.¨ She said with a little chuckle.
As the camera men were packing up Lou sat on my lap and the world seem to freeze around us. It was just Lou and I no one else and nothing to worry about at that moment. I leaned my head as far as I could and we kissed. Her lips lingered on mine for longer than normal, but I was fine with that.
¨I love Louisa Clark.¨
¨I love you too Will Traynor.¨
The rest of the day was just Lou and I. Nathan came over to do the midday routine and talk for a bit, but left soon after. Lou had not said a word all day which was unusual because most days I couldn't get her to stop talking.
I found her after Nathan had left sitting outside in the courtyard with tears forming at the corners of her eyes. Once she saw me come up she wiped them away hoping that I would not be able to see them.
¨Clark, is everything alright?¨
¨Yeah, I'm fine.¨
¨You are a terrible liar.¨ I said with a little chuckle.
She didn't look up at me at that time and that's when I got nervous.
¨What's wrong Clark?¨ I asked trying to hide the panic in my voice.
¨I just think that after hearing what you said earlier today in the interview hit me and made me think about what the six months and everything that happened. I have really never thought about it because my main goal was to keep you alive.¨ she said unable to hold back her tears.
¨Clark, I'm sorry for everything I have put on you the past couple of months.¨ I said with tears slipping from my eyes now.
I had thought about everything I had put Lou through, I mean how could I not most nights I couldn't sleep and all I could do was think. I had turned her whole life around, I was the reason she was sitting there crying. I knew that getting close to her was a bad idea, but I did and she may feel differently about me now, but I loved her more than I have ever loved anyone else.
¨The past six months have been some of the best months of my life actually they HAVE been the best six months of my life. I have done things that I would have never done if it weren't for you like scuba diving, watching movies with subtitles, and going to concerts. I have also learned so much about myself, I have learned that I would not be where I am today without you. Yes, there were times where I wanted to quit and just walk out and leave because I was scared of what you wanted to do, me giving you my heart and it not being enough for you. That scared me, but also leaving you scared me, I was scared of losing the person I became with you because the person I am with you is the person I want to be it is the person I am. After hearing everything you said earlier just made me think about how crazy my life has been because a short six months ago I was working at a cafe never going anywhere and I, in your world I was not living Boldly.¨ she said finally letting the tears come out.
For the first time I didn't know what to say. She was the one who changed my life and if it weren't for her I probably would not be here. So I said the only thing that I knew I could say. ¨I love you Clark. I meant everything I said earlier. I know I don't deserve your heart, but if you are willing to give it to me again then I promise to love you with everything I have.¨
¨I love you so much William Traynor and my heart will forever be yours. Like you told me the night of the Alicia's wedding, You are pretty much the only thing that make me want to get up in the morning.¨
¨I love you Louisa.¨ I said feeling the urge to kiss her. ¨Come here right on my lap.¨
She got up and gently sat down on my lap placing her lips on mine. We kissed for I don't know how long and quite honestly I didn't care. I felt the pain that she had built up over the past 6 month slip away and the start of a new adventure fill her heart.
Nathan found us in the courtyard as he was coming in to do the evening routine. I had not realized that Lou and I were out there for so long, but anytime I was with her time seemed to go by faster than I wanted.
¨Ok Mate you ready for bed?¨ Nathan asked knowing I wasn't. ¨The faster we get this done the faster you can get back to your Love.¨ He said giving me a wink.
Before I went to my room I saw the look on Lou´s face after hearing what Nathan said ¨Back to your Love.¨ I knew she like it because it was true she was the love of my life. If you told me before my accident that I would be hit by a motor bike and paralyzed and then fall in love with a crazy lady who has been nowhere and seen nothing and who wears the most ridiculous outfit I would have laughed in your face. To my surprise that's just what happened and I am so happy I did because she is the one who I am supposed to be with.
Lou had changed into her pajamas and crawled into bed next to me.
I had asked Nathan to leave the envelope on the bed side table so Clark would be able to get it when he lifted.
¨What is it?¨ She asked with suspicion in her voice.
¨Just open it and you will see.¨
¨Will what is this?¨ She said pulling out three tickets to Paris.
¨I wanted you to go to Paris and experience the place I love before you start school in two weeks.¨"I said unable to hold in my smile.
¨But why are there three tickets?¨
¨Because I thought it would be fun if you went with both my sister and yours.¨
¨Do they both know about this Will.¨ she asked unable to hold in her excitement.
¨They helped me plan it.¨
¨Will Traynor why do you spoil me.¨ she said with a big grin on her face.
¨Because you're worth it Louisa Clark.¨
¨Your plane leaves in two days and Georgina comes in tomorrow to help you pack.¨
¨I love you William Traynor.¨
¨And I love you Louisa Clark. Now you better get some sleep, you need all the energy you can get to get ready for this big trip of yours.¨
She rested her head on my shoulder and whispered, ¨Good night I love you.¨ before sleep overtook both of us.
