More Than This

I don't own this song all rights go to One Direction

I don’t remember falling asleep. But when I wake up, I hear music playing. My first thought is that I left my iPod on accidentally. I turn over and look at the dock. No, It’s not my iPod. Then where is it coming from?

Then the lyrics start and I instantly know who it is.

I’m broken, do you hear me?
I’m blinded, ‘cause you are everything I see,
I’m dancin’ alone, I’m praying,
That your heart will just turn around

I walk to the window and open it. Harry Styles smiles up at me, still singing and playing the guitar.

And as I walk up to your door,
My head turns to face the floor,
‘Cause I can’t look you in the eyes and say,

When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
It just won’t feel right,
‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah,
When he lays you down,
I might just die inside,
It just don’t feel right,
‘Cause I can love you more than this,
Can love you more than this

If I’m louder, would you see me?
Would you lay down
In my arms and rescue me?
‘Cause we are the same
You save me,
When you leave it’s gone again,

And when I see you on the street,
In his arms, I get weak,
My body fails, I’m on my knees,
Prayin’,

When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
It just won’t feel right,
‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah,
When he lays you down,
I might just die inside,
It just don’t feel right,
‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah,

I’ve never had the words to say,
But now I’m askin’ you to stay
For a little while inside my arms,
And as you close your eyes tonight,
I pray that you will see the light,
That’s shining from the stars above,

When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight,
It just won’t feel right,
‘Cause I can love you more than this,
‘Cause I can love you more than this, yeah

 

          He finishes the final notes and looks up at me waiting for a response. “I thought you said one date and then I would never have to see you again.”

           That wipes the smile off his face. “I mean it, Ari. I can’t stand thinking of you with Mason. I want you with me. I need you with me.”

          There is a beat of silence before I respond. “It’s easy to sing something that someone has already written for you. It’s harder to come up with your own words.”

          He smiles again, “I guess that I am just going to have to prove it to you then.” I slam the window closed.

           I return to my bed and close my eyes, trying to shut down all thoughts of what this “proof” would look like.

And she rejects him yet again...

[Legolas]

Great job. Man, that girl is rude.

[Brooklyn]

maybe it isn't that she's rude...maybe it's that she is sad, confused, and angry. She had a great relationship until Harry showed up and then all of a sudden she is unsure and her relationship with Mason in ripped at the seam. Maybe she thinks that if she continues to push Harry away Mason will know that she never meant this to happen and that she loves him and it can all go back to the way it was. Maybe.

[Legolas]

Maybe...thanks for clearing that up.

[Pencrafter]

Your story looks interesting, what with all the songs and such. You could possibly write it as a musical. You do have a knack for writing. Keep up the good work!

[icerhex]

This is great, you absolutely have to write more! :D You're very good at making it suspenceful too.

[Odayin]

Am I the only one who though Mason was gonna show up from behind Harry and club him down!?
Eh, I guess you don't always get what you wish for!

[luv2dream]

More! please more!

[Dominique]

Why won't she see that she loves Harry? He sings a beautiful song to her and she rejects him. Ugh. I can't wait to see what this proof is though.

[Amanda]

Oh my gosh, Brooklyn, you lover of suspense and torture, just put Harry out of his misery!

[Brooklyn]

Um...you want me to kill him?

[Brooklyn]

oh, I'm sorry "put him to sleep"?

[Amanda]

no! i want them together so they can be all happy and la-dee-dah into the sunset. But knowing you and Sophie....that's not gonna happen :P
