"Are you almost ready?" Louis called from the back of the tour bus.



I glanced into the mirror one last time before letting out a breath that I have been holding in. Appareantly Louis has been planning this night for about a week already, and knowing he has been planning so long for just a date night I don't think ruining tonight is anywhere on my agenda.



"I'm ready." I called taking a step out of the bathroom and into the room where Louis was.



Louis stood up from the couch and the second he looked up at me his reaction when he saw me, I couldn't help but let out a little laugh. "You look really beautiful." He smiled walking up to me and gave me a small kiss.



"You look really handsome."



Louis simply just shrugged as he grabbed my purse from the couch and started making his way towards the door as I followed right behind him. Walking out the tour bus, I expected to find fans around the bus, but instead I walked to a deserted spot and a picnic table with already cooked food on it.



"Louis?" I asked walking up to him. He glanced down at me with a smirk on his face as he raised an eyebrow. "You made me get all dressed up just for a picnic outside?"



"Yep." Louis chirped up. "I was thinking why go out somewhere fancy and have to deal with people, when we can just stay here where we can be alone?"



"Where is everyone then?" I asked walking over to the picnic table and sat down. Louis sat across from me and the way he looked tonight, made me realize all over again why I ever fell in love with him in the first place.



"I don't know." Louis shrugged. "All I know is that they were kind enough to actually leave us alone tonight."



"Even the guards?"



"Yes, even them."


A smile formed on my face as I realized I was completely alone with Louis tonight. Maybe we share a room at hotels alone, but everyone was just next door and they would walk in whenever they wanted too. Now, with us being alone. I couldn't help but think about how much Louis really did try for tonight.


"Well, thank you." I grinned, taking a bite of my food.


"For what?" Louis asked copying my action and took his first bite.



"For tonight."



After eating I expected to just go back into the tour bus, but when I stood up and started walking back a hang gripped onto mine to stop me.



"I'm not done." I turned towards Louis, and the grin on his face only made me smile even bigger at him.



Before I could process what was happening Louis dragged me over to a piano, that I just happened to noticed and I sat down next to him as he rested his hands on the keys infront of him.



"The last time I played for you was when I was sixteen and you really wanted to hear me sing a song that we just heard on the radio that day." thinking back to that memory, I realized other then that time I never heard Louis play piano, and he knew I loved piano players.



"We aren't sixteen anymore." Louis smirked. "We are both now in twenties."



"That makes me sound old." I laughed, leaning my head on his shoulder. Louis simply laughed at me, before continuing.



"I didn't write this song." Louis smiled before starting to play the song. automatically I knew what he was playing and my stomach started to form butterflies. "But it's how I do feel for you Amber." Before I could even say anything Louis started to sing.



"Settle down with me
Cover me up
Cuddle me in


Lie down with me
And hold me in your arms.


And your hearts against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now.


Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love."



Lifting up my head from Louis' shoulder I looked up at him with tears forming in my eyes, but his were shut as he continued to sing.



"Settle down with me
And I'll be your safety
You'll be my lady


I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as the wind blows so hold me in your arms


Oh no
My hearts against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now.


Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love


Yeah, I been feeling everything
From hate to love
From love to lust
From lust to trust
I guess that's how I know you
So I hold you close to help you give it up


So kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like we're falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love."



"Louis." I cried. "I love you so much."



"And I love you." He whispered, wiping away the tears on my cheeks. "I have one more surprise though."



"What?" I asked, before gasping as my heart dropped. Right in front of me Louis was on one knee, as he pulled out a box from his pocket.



"I know we are still young." Louis started. "But I know this feeling I have for you right now will not change anytime soon. I told myself we would never become those bestfriends that fall in love in the end, because that sounded like it came off a hallmark card. Then when I lost you I pretended to be fine, but I knew I was missing something in my life, and when you came back I realized it was you that I needed. Your my bestfriend Amber, and after everything we been through I can't just lose you again. I love you so much and even if you say yes we can wait until we are older to have a wedding. I just want to know you feel the same way about me and that you do want to spend forever with me." my breathing felt like it stopped right as he opened the box to show one of the most beautiful ring ever. "Will you marry me?"


I couldn't find words to say, and my vision blurred by the pool of tears in my eyes. So I quickly nodded my head as I grabbed his face and kissed him. Between the kiss he put the ring on my finger, but I was too occupied with the thought that Louis does love me the same way as I love him. Louis does want to get married, live together, and raise our own kids. Louis knows the real me, and he was still willing to spend forever with me. I'm not fully fixed. I still have cuts and scars over my arms and body, and today was the first time I have really eaten in a week. Yet, knowing Louis is there willing to help me through all of this I knew I will be fine in the end no matter what happens in the future. Whether Louis continues on with singing after One Direction, whether he goes off and does something else. I don't care, because I just want him, and if we had to live in a small one bedroom apartment I wouldn't care. Because I just want Louis, and having him around makes everything better.




-----------------------------------------------


THAT WAS THE LAST CHAPTER I can't believe I actually finished this book. I will admit I will miss Louis and Amber very deeply. I mean how can't you love this couple? I will have an epilogue coming out for this sometime soon. I already know what I want to happen so I just need to get myself to actually write it.

I might do a sequel to this story. If I do then there will be no epilogue because the sequel I was thinking will be between this and then. also, it will be dealing more with Zayn as well. I know a few of you were hoping something would happen with Amber and Zayn and I was going to but I needed to finish this story.

So should I do a sequel? comment below if you do, so I can start on it. idk next update will either be an epilogue or author note so keep a look out!

Thanks for reading this if you actually did

Love you!
