Description

My arms crossed over my head. I can still hear it. 'Forever young, I wanna be forever young. Do you really wanna live forever? Forever, or never.' His voice is so fragile. So thin. Like glass. On the verge of shattering. 'So many adventures couldn't happen today. So many songs we forgot to play, so many dreams are swinging out of the blue, we let em come true.' I could hear his voice crack. Even when it did, it sounded like it would've if he was sitting here next to me. It sounded perfect. It sounded like Louis. My fingers entangled in my hair. My eyes squeezed shut. His voice grew softer, and the softer he sang, the farther he seemed away from me. And the farther he seemed away from me, the more I felt like I was losing what was left of him. There was a fine line between sane and insane. I could tell by the way my body shook with ten million different emotions that I wasn't sane anymore. I could feel his soft hands overlap mine, squeezing them tightly just like he used to. Just like he used to. Used to. Past tense has never stung more. I would kill to be able to speak about him in the present. Maybe kill isn't the right word. In fact, it's not. I could never think about taking the life away from someone, knowing how everyone that person knew would be affected. I could never. Doing that would ruin anything I've ever wanted to be. I've always wanted to make myself proud, as well as everyone around me. I want to make Lou proud. So I'm going to try. I'm going to be Forever Young. I want to live forever... For him... For the child we all want back in our lives... For Louis. --------- If you couldn't tell, that was Liam's POV, and the next one will be in Liam's POV as well... I hope you guys like it(: I'm honestly crying while writing this. Love you all... ~Bailey xxx
