Day Dreams (Louis Tomlinson)

~*Crystal's POV*~

It's been a little while since Jake and Crystal reunited, and their happy as can be. Crystal also stumbled into her old best friend, Darcy Jackson who had dyed red hair, and it about 5'6, and their best friends again! Zayn and Perrie are happy as can be, but Perrie has been disappearing lately, and comes homes late. Everybody is suspicious except Zayn. Zayn refuses to believe Perrie is doing anything, but the others know something is going on. Perrie is always nice when Zayn in around, but the second Zayn is gone, Perrie is a bitch to everybody.

I giggled as Jake kissed a bit of whipped cream off my nose. Me and him were at an ice cream shop, and I got whipped cream on my nose.. and.. yeah.

"No! My whipped cream!" I squealed in fake shock.

He laughed a bit, and I took another bite of my ice cream.

"We never did this kind of thing since.. before you dropped out of school." Jake said, "Speaking of which, what happened?"

I froze, memories coming back to me faster then ever. I swallowed the lump in my throat, and spoke up.

"Let's just s-say I became my parent's punching bag b-before I ran away." I said.

I quickly took another bite of my ice cream, and didn't look up.

"You remember when we were 16? And we danced for the talent show that year?" Jake asked.

I smiled at the memory and nodded my head.

"Yeah.. we won first place." I said.

"I still have the DVD for that." He murmured.

I looked up.

"You do? I left mine at my old house." I admitted.

"Yeah. Do you want to come over to my flat and watch it there?" He asked me.

I nodded, and took the last bite of my ice cream. I threw away the trash, and we joined hands. We walked out into the chilly air, and down to his flat. I leaned slightly on him as we were walking, but he didn't mind. I took my hand out of his to zip up my jacket, and he just snaked an arm around my waist. I smiled up at Jake, and we soon arrived at his flat. I removed my shoes, and I saw myself in the mirror. I pitied myself for the way I looked. I sighed, and went to sit down on the couch. It was completely silent in the flat. A bit too silent. I strained my ears, and heard the faint sound of people's voiced. I wondered who else would be here, so I stood up. I slowly and quietly followed the source of the voices, and I was able to make out words.

"...of her. She's a distraction to our relationship, babe." A familiar female voice said.

"I know, sugar. But I just have to play with her a bit more." Jake's voice said.

'Is he fucking cheating on me?!' I thought.

"Babe, we have plans for tonight." The female voice said again.

"I know. I'll make sure I'm here. I wouldn't miss having fun for anything." Jake's voice said.

I soon heard the springs of his bed, and moaning. I peeked my head in, and stifled a gasp. I pulled out my phone, and took a picture for proof. Zayn HAS to break up with her now. I can't believe them! I felt a tear slip out of my eye, and I quietly walked away. What did I see? Jake on top of Perrie basically swallowing each other. I rushed into the front room as more tears fell from my eyes. I put my shoes on, and ran out the front door. I slammed it shut, so they know I saw. I clutched my phone, and ran as fast as I could back to the house. I can't believe Jake. He was using me as a toy. I'm not a fucking toy. I'm a person. People like him disgust me. I quickly ran to the house and let myself in with the spare key in the plant pot, and ran up to my room. I did what I always did when I was sad. I sang a song. I thought of Counting Stars by One Republic. I grabbed my guitar out of my closet, and started...

"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars

I see this life like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

I feel your love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is a four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that downs me, makes me wanna fly

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Everything that kills me... makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be, counting stars

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned

Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned.."


I sighed as I finished the song, and I heard clapping coming from my bedroom door. I turned to see it was Darcy.

"How'd you get in?" I asked.

"Oh. I climbed through a window. Girl, you've got an amazing voice!" She exclaimed.

"Through my window? Really?" I asked.

"Yeah. It wasn't hard, considering your window was unlocked." She said.

I groaned, "Niall.." I muttered.

We both walked downstairs, and I ended up explaining everything to her about Jake. By the time I had finished, she was furious.

"Where does the mofo live?! Imma give him a ticket to a plane on it's way to Death-Pony Village!" She shouted.

I laughed, and we heard the door open and the lads come in. We shared a knowing look...
