Day Dreams (Louis Tomlinson)

~*Crystal's POV, 2 years since that day*~

I woke up to the sound of a toilet being flushed, and I stood up. I groaned, and stood up from the stall floor. I unplugged my phone, and I had a text from Alex. We haven't texted in over a year. I wonder what she wanted.

Alex: Happy 20th birthday, sis! I miss you soo much and wish you many birthday wishes!!

Wait a second... Today was my birthday?! I checked the date on my phone, and sure enough, the date read December 14th. It was my birthday! I grabbed my guitar, shoved my phone charger into my guitar case pocket, and then I realized I needed to change my outfit. I had told Kobey the truth of why I was always here about 4 months after I ran away. He kindly bought my clothes, and offered for me to stay at his place. I told him I would stay here, and that this is my new home. I changed into a cute outfit he bought me. I popped some mint gum into my mouth, and walked out to the counter.

"The usual!" I said to Kobey.

He smiled, and started working on the grande peppermint mocha. Kobey recently turned 25, last month. His birthday is a month before mine, his on November 14th.

"Guess what today is~" I said, in a sing song voice.

"What?"

"It's my 20th birthday!" I said, jumping into the air.

"That's amazing, Crys!" Crys was my nickname for him.

"Can I sing today please please PLEASEE!?" I asked him.

He laughed,"Of course you can!"

"Yippee! I'll go and sing right now! There's alot of people here! Should I say it's my birthday?" I asked Kobey.

"Yeah! You're the most talented girl I know, and people deserve to know it's your birthday!"

"Yayy!!" I said, doing a little happy dance.

"Well, what are you waiting for! Go and get set up!" Kobey told me.

"Okay!" I said.

I grabbed my coffee, and put it in the back. I basically live here now, so the entire staff knows me and I'm allowed in the back. It's pretty cool back there, I won't lie. Yesterday, I bought a CD with the music of the song I was going to sing, so all I had to do was sing. I sang higher than I usually do, so, I won't be singing tomorrow. I'm an alto, and this song is meant for a soprano. I walked up on stage. and put the CD in. Just then, when I was about to announce what I was doing up on the stage, 5 boys came in. I didn't recognize them, but they were kinda singing along to a song, and they sounded like One Direction. I brushed it off, and they sat down.

"Hey guys! Welcome to Coca's Cafe!" I said into the mic. It kinda echoed throughout the cafe, and everybody had their attention on me now.

"Today is a special day for me, and I'll be singing one of my favorite songs, in celebration of my 20th birthday! It's called Six Trillion Years and an Overnight Story by IA." I said.

I got cheers, and applauds from the actually quite large crowd. The usual customers know that I sing at least once a week, and the new ones were in for a treat. I set my guitar case down, and I put in the CD into the speakers, and the song started and I sang my little heart out!



Once a upon a time and place unknown
Lived a boy forgot and left all alone
No one knew what he could do or of this fairytale

Probably since before the day I was born
Call it fate but I was drowned with scorn
No one tried to be on my side so I'd turn the other cheek

I can't help my feeling sad
Though I guess it ain't too bad
Calling from the setting sun
Took my hand and flew away

Tell me why Tell me why
No one ever tells me why
Why they hate me and despise me when I haven't done a thing
In the rain all I feel is this never ending chill
But a trillion trillion trillion years had left me freezing cold

Can I die? Can I die?
I'm just waiting 'til I die
Never dreamed a single dream so kind in my entire life
No one knew, even cared for this fleeting fairy tail
Then it slipped into seething sun and soon it sailed away

All this time it bore right down to the core
All the pain had torn and left me sore
Right behind you had all this time been watching from my side

Cannot look or hear or speak to me
But you did "Your name, will you tell me it please?"
I can't give and I wish I did
But I just don't have the tongue

Crave a home I've never had
Though I guess it ain't too bad
"Let's just leave and go back home"
Take my hand and fly away

Tell me why Tell me why
No one ever tells me why
Why you think you're just a kid when you can do so many things
On my own never known of this light leading me home
But a trillion trillion trillion years had taught me I'm alone

"Can I try? Can I try?"
"Never know until I try"
But they'll kill you if they see you trying now to save my life
In the rain all we feel is this never ending chill
But we'll slip into the seething sun and soon we'll sail away

Day is done now and soon the dawn will break
Play 'til we drop so that we'll never have to wake
What if this place was made of only me and you?
If just the world and everyone would all go away
If just the world and everyone would all go away

Tell me why Tell me why
A small voice will tell me why
No it's not the voice of you or I but
ALL MAN KIND
Can't resist, we'll be missed That's a lie but I insist
That we'll slip into the seething sun and soon we'll sail away

Tell me why Tell me why
Though you answer to me "why?"
What's your name and where're we going? But hell that's the fun of life!
In the rain I don't care just as long as you are there
Cuz a trillion trillion trillion years had left me thinking clear

Tell me why Tell me dear
There's ringing in my ear

Then we slipped into the seething sun and finally sailed away


I was slightly panting when I finished the song, and I set the microphone back. The now very large crowd cheered and applauded for me. I bowed, and went to pick up my guitar case. I saw it was open, and money scattered my guitar.

"Thank you so much! Have a good day!" I said into the microphone.

I put the microphone back, and I started cleaning up. I took out my CD, and put it in with my guitar. I glanced up, and I saw the five boys I that walked in earlier coming towards me. I started panicking, so I zipped up my guitar, and walked out, ignoring them. Once I was outside, I realized the ground was covered in snow. I sighed, shivering, and I reluctantly walked back inside. The five boys didn't seem to notice me as I walked back in. I then remembered my coffee, and I walked through the crowed into the back. I looked around for it, and I realized someone must have thrown it away. I sighed, walking out to get another one from Kobey.

"Hey, Kobey! Someone threw my moc--"

"Excuse me, Love." I heard someone say, and a tap on my shoulder.

I turned around, and I came face to face with a shortish guy, looks to be around my around my age, with blonde hair and ocean blue eyes.

"Hmm?" I asked the man.

"Me and my band here were wondering if you are a singer." The man said with an Irish accent.

"Umm, no. It's only my hobby. I'm Crystal Leafa, by the way." I said, holding out my hand.

"Well, you are an amazing singer, Crystal. I'm Niall. Niall Horan."
