Juliet's P.O.V
As I wave goodbye at Marie I take my coat and close the door. I walk out of my house and go straight. I walk looking down at my feet, biting my lip, and fiddling with my fingers nervously.
I'm on my way to Louis' house. I want to talk to him and explain myself. I want to tell him that I'm sorry. That's the reason to why I'm nervous. I don't really know what to tell him, I know what I want to do but not the words that I'm going to use. I will just wing it.
It was such a sudden decision. I was in my room, having nothing to do, when suddenly I started thinking about Louis and about what happened, so I felt bad. I want to talk things through with Louis, so here I am.
I get to his house and whimper. Should I knock? Or should I wait for him to come out by himself. I don't have his number, so I can't call nor text him. Ugh!
I'm not only nervous because of the fact that I'm about to talk with Louis, no, I'm nervous because my parents don't know I'm here, they think I went to the library, and another reason to why I'm nervous is that I don't know how Louis' family feels about my family, so they can do two things to me, one; kick me out, two; be nice and let me in.
I will just wait for Louis to come out; he will have to come out eventually. Gosh, I feel like a stalker; standing outside of his house waiting for him to walk out of his house. I need to get his number for next time, if there is one...
I take a step to Louis' house but then back away as I see a car. The car passes by, slowing, and signals me to walk but I shake my head and tell him to keep driving. The middle aged driver shrugs and drives away. I take a step, again, but back away.
No, I'm just going to wait for him here.
I kick the pebbles that are next to my shoes, as I dig my hands into my coat's pocket, and hear a noise. I immediately look up, praying it's Louis, but then I see it's not him, it's just some cat coming out of a trash can.
I sigh and look at the cat, which is also looking at me, and she walks up to me. I chuckle and sit next to her. I pet her, hearing her purr, and smile. I like cats, I think they are cute. But I just realized she just came out of the trash can. Oh well, I will wash my hands later.
She gets on top of my legs and I chuckle. I look down at her neck, noticing she has a collar, and read her name. Her name is 'Bonny'. That's a cute name. I wonder if she belongs to Louis' family. She is a pretty cat, and doesn't seem like a cat that lives on the streets, so she probably belongs to someone.
"Bonny!" My eyes widen as I hear some familiar voice. I try to get up, but the cat is lying on my lap, so it makes a bit difficult. I try to gently move her but she won't budge. I groan and I hear the same person call for the cat's name. I push her again but she meows, still not moving.
"Bonny?" I curse under my breath and look up to see Lottie. I awkwardly smile at her and she looks at me confused. She crosses the road and stands in front of me.
By the way when I say I curse under my breath, I don't really say words like 'fuck or bitch' I say 'darn and stuff like that. I don't really like cursing, it's not very polite.
"Hey, Juliet," she greets me and I wave my hand at her, as I look up at her, "what are you doing here?" She asks. Bonnie hears her and immediately gets up, she walks up to Lottie and purrs, as her tail wraps around her leg. Couldn't she have done that at the first second she heard her?
"I-I was walking by when I saw your cat, and well I sat for a bit to pet her." I say and she nods, not believing me. How do I know she doesn't believe me? She just laughed as she heard my high stupid voice. Why do I have to be such a terrible liar?
"You came to see Louis, didn't you?" She grins, the image of Louis popping in my head as she grins.
"I will be lying if I say I didn't come for that." I say trying to confuse her, but she understands me and giggles.
"Do you want me to call him for you?" She asks and I scratch my head.
"I wouldn't go against it." I say and she laughs. She takes Bonnie in her hands and flashes me a smile, before turning around and walking back to her house.
I kick a pebble that is next to my foot, trying to calm my nerves, and take my hands out of my pocket as I feel them start to sweat. I wipe my hands in my jeans and fix my hair a bit, as I ruined it when I scratched my head.
I hear the garage door open and I cuss under my breath. I tuck my hair behind my ear and take a deep breath as I hear footsteps. I take all the courage I have and look up.
Are you for real? It's someone else, a neighbor, I don't know. I roll my eyes and the person waves 'hello' at me politely, I wave back and he gets inside his car. That's something that I like about this neighborhood, they might be all stuck up snobs but they will still be polite, even though they are hypocrites.
"Juliet?" I hear Louis' voice and my head snaps to the garage. I see him looking at me confused, and I throw my head back sighing. I didn't even notice he was at the garage when I saw the other guy, I thought that the guy came out of the garage from his house. I don't know...
"Hey," I wave my hand at him and he signals me to approach him. I look at both sides of the road and cross.
He smiles at me and I smile back at him, "What are you doing here? If you came for the party you should know it already ended." He jokes and I playfully roll my eyes.
"Sorry about not coming," I tell him and he nods.
"It's okay," He says shrugging and I shake my head.
"No, it's not okay, I should have come. I promised I will, I truly am sorry." I tell him and he nods.
"Stop nodding! I mean it. I don't want you to have that image of me being like my parents, because I'm not, I really am not. I want to hang out with you, but I'm scared my parents will find out, I don't know how your parents are, but I do know they are more free with you guys, but mine are not, they are really strict, so yeah, I'm sorry." I say and he nods, making me glare at him.
"Sorry," he says and I nod, making us laugh, "I should be the one saying he is sorry, you are right. Our families hate each other and they are not the same as in personality, so I'm sorry." He says and I smile.
"Stop apologizing and kiss!" I hear someone yell and I look up to see Lottie. I awkwardly look away and I hear Louis laugh, an awkward laugh. I know that type of laugh perfectly.
"Shut up and go away!" Louis yells back at her and she rolls her eyes, before closing the window and getting back inside, not exactly at that order.
"So, you missed my show," he says making me scrunch up my nose in confusion, not knowing to what he is going for, and he smiles, "what do you think about having a private show?" He wiggles his eyebrows and I laugh.
"Sure, but I don't promise you that I will like it, and I hope it doesn't include nude." I say as I remember what Roxie told me about one of his shows. He laughs out loud and grabs my hand, leading me to inside of his garage, which he has converted to a rehearsal room.
It's really cool. It has posters of some rock bands- I guess- discs on the wall, and instruments of all kind. It's really colorful, something you don't see at my house much; all of the rooms are just one plain color, sometimes if my mom chooses to go with her wild side she combines two colors. Two not three, three is way too much, is like breaking the law.
He closes the garage's door and sits me in some puff. He takes his guitar and tunes it. I intently watch him and tilt my head to the side in awe. He looks at me and smiles, "Ready to hear the most marvelous voice ever?" He says with a grin and I chuckle.
"Is Amy Winehouse here?" I joke as I look around the garage.
"Funny," he fakes laughing and I stick my tongue out at him, "any requests for a song?" He asks and I shake my head. The only songs that I know are classic or blues and Jazz, and Amy of course. I doubt he knows any of the artists that I know.
"Okay," he takes his phone out and gives it to me, "choose one." He says and I scroll through his music.
Names like: The killers, muse, kings of Leon, the fray, etc... Show up, and I bite the inside of my cheek, as I know no one. The Fray sounds familiar; I think Roxie mentioned them once. I click the first song that I see by them, which is 'Look after you'. It sounds like a good song.
"Oh, I like that song." He says and takes the phone from my hand. He places the guitar pick in his mouth and strums some chords, which sound beautiful.
He takes a deep breath and takes the guitar pick out of between his lips. He starts strumming and I smile at him.
"If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Be my baby...."
I look at him in awe as I hear him sing, and my lips part apart - shocked. He sings beautifully, his voice sound amazing and let's not talk about how good he is with playing the guitar. He truly is amazing; his vocals are so soft and beautiful. I have never heard someone sing like that, and I'm not exaggerating, I really do mean it.
He finishes playing the song and I clap, making him smile and laugh, "You are amazing!" I tell him and he cheekily grins.
"I know," he wiggles his eyebrows at me and I roll my eyes, "But I'm glad you like it." He says as he places down his guitar carefully in the floor.
I sigh and he furrows his eyebrows concerned, "What's wrong?" He asks and I shrug.
"I feel bad for not coming yesterday." I tell him and he gets up from his seat, to sit next to me, I scoot myself a bit so he could fit, but he actually stops me by grabbing me by my waist pulling me closer to him.
I feel shivers run my spine and goosebumps all over my body as he wraps his arm around me. Okay, that was weird, and ticklish.
He lets go of me and soon the feelings fade but the tickling feeling stays a bit in my stomach. Eh, I know that one, I always get that one, so I'm used to it, there is no need to even mention that feeling that I get when I see Louis. It's so ticklish.
"Don't feel bad, it wasn't that good of a performance actually, I sucked, this cover that I did was way better than last night." He says and I nod.
"I hope it's not my fault." I tell him and he smiles.
"It may be," he winks at me, joking, and I glare at him, "just kidding, it was mine; I sort of broke my amp." He says and my eyes widen.
"How?" I ask him.
"I took my anger on it." He says and my jaw drops. I thought he will say he dropped it or something like that, but took his anger on it? Wow!
"Why were you mad?" I ask him and he shrugs.
"I-I..." He scratches the back of his neck and I cover my mouth with my hand as I put up the puzzle.
"It was me, right?" I say and he doesn't say anything which means I'm right. I uncover my mouth and sigh.
"I'm sor..." He covers my mouth with his hand and shakes his head.
"Don't apologize again, I'm tired of hearing you apologize, it's not your fault, it was mine, okay?" He says waiting for me to nod in agreement but I shake my head.
"No!" I mumble to his hand and he glares at me.
"I mean it, it's my fault, don't worry." He says and I sigh giving up. He uncovers my mouth and I scrunch up my nose, not in confusion but in annoyance.
He chuckles and pokes my nose, "You look cute when you do that." He says and I feel my cheeks redden.
I look away, scratching my head, and spot his drums set. "Can I try?" I ask him and he mumbles a 'yeah'. I get up from the puff and walk over the drum set.
I take a seat and take the drums' sticks, I look at them and bite my lip not really knowing how to start, Louis chuckles noticing and I glare at him.
"Don't laugh!" I tell him and he pretends to zip his lips.
I start 'drumming' and Louis covers his ears, making me stop immediately. I awkwardly put the drums' stick back to their place and Louis laughs.
"I told you not to laugh!" I whine and he sheepishly smiles at me.
"Sorry, but I was only joking, you did a good start." He says, as he gets up, and walks up to me.
"Really?" I ask him as I suck the inside of my cheek. He shrugs and walks up behind me.
"Okay, you will hit this one, like this." He says as he grabs my hand signals me which one and how to, and then takes my other hand and starts doing the same but to another drum.
"Okay, now do it by yourself." He says, letting go of my hands, and I start doing it by myself, a huge smile plastered in my face, making Louis chuckle.
"Nice, that's really good." He tells me and I stop drumming. I like these drums, I would think about getting myself drums set but I know my parents will be against it, mostly my mom thinking it's not lady like.
"Thank you for teaching me, sensei." I jokingly say and he laughs.
"No problem, pupil." He winks at me and I giggle.
"I could teac-" My phone rings cutting him off. I apologetic smile at him and take my phone out of my pocket, as I put the sticks back to their place.
My eyes widen, as I see it's my mom calling and I place my finger on my lips, telling Louis to keep it quiet and he nods. I answer the call and place the phone in my ear.
"Hey, mom," I say whispering. I told her I'm going to the library so I might as well pretend I am at one. Plus it makes my voice not become high.
"Hey, Juliet, I was wondering when you are coming back?" She replies.
"I don't know..." I trail my voice.
"Well, if you don't mind could you please hurry and come, I don't want you out for so long, people may think you are a street girl and we don't want that." She says and I sigh.
"Okay, mom, I'm on my way." I say and she mumbles a 'goodbye' before hanging up.
"Bye." I mumble to the dead line and place the phone back inside my coat's pocket.
"I have to go." I tell him as I get up and he nods.
"Yeah, I heard." He says and I half smile at him.
"Bye, I guess." I say looking up at him, not so sure of what I'm supposed to do. Should I hug him? Kiss his cheek? What am I supposed to do?
I go for a hug but he goes for a kiss, making me scrunch up my nose. I chuckle and get on my tiptoes to kiss his cheek, while he wraps his arms around me to hug me.
"Bye, sensei." I joke and I feel his chest vibrate against mine as he laughs.
"Bye, pupil." He kisses my cheek and we pull away.
He opens the garage's door and I wave as 'goodbye' at him as I come out of the garage.
"See you." He tells me and I smile at him.
"See you, too!"
I really hope to see him soon. I had fun today.
