Just a Walk in the Park

'What are you doing here?' you say with a small voice,

'I couldn't stay away (Y/N).. and I just had to be here for your first gig.' He says handing you a bunch of your favourite flowers which makes you smile a bit but you soon compose yourself,

'Darren… you shouldn't be here. We're over… you don't need me anymore.' you say trying to be as blunt as you can as your eyes start to water,

Darren just stares at you with so much desperation and hurt in his eyes, '… I do need you though… I need your smile and laugh and your voice when I catch you singing to yourself. I need your hugs and kisses when I feel down and most of all I need you to just be there when I wake up in the morning so I can look into your beautiful eyes.. (Y/N).. I'm lost without you.' Darren says as he puts his arms around your waist slightly which makes you look up.

You're completely shocked by Darren's words and you don't know what to say,

Darren really cares about me… what should I do?

You think as you wipe your eyes and start shaking your head, 'No.. no Darren I can't do this… yo- you don't deserve me. I'm just going to ruin your life… I- I've gotta go on for my second set.' You say regretting leaving him as you walk away towards the stage, you turn around to find Darren has already gone and your heart suddenly breaks into a thousand pieces,

What have I done?

Your second set goes well as you play some of your own songs, you can't see Darren standing in the audience anywhere so you decide to play a few more covers. You finally get to the song you've been waiting to play,

'This next song is for someone very special to me… and… I realise now what a huge mistake I've made for letting him go… so I hope you all enjoy it,' you say as you start playing A Thousand Years by Christina Perri,

Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

You start playing the chorus as you feel every word your singing as you close your eyes as if you're in your own world with Darren,

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

You look up to the audience only to see Darren is standing at the back of the room staring up at you, his eyes glistening from the tears that are pouring out of them, you start getting emotional as you sing the next part staring right into his eyes,

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

You close your eyes to hide away the tears surfacing in them as you finish the song,

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

When you look up to the applauding audience you search for Darren but you can't find him anywhere,

Maybe he's given up on me… why did I say those things to him? No wonder he probably hates me…

You think as you say your thank-you's to the audience and you grab your things and go backstage,

What should I do? I've lost him forever.

So many things run through your head as you just want to get out of here as you turn to leave but once you're just opening the door someone else starts playing some music on stage and you notice the song straight away… Sami. You turn around to find Darren staring at you from up on stage as he plays your favourite song by him to you but instead he replaces Sami with your name which makes you smile as you know he's just trying to get your attention. You walk closer to the stage as you notice people are staring at you as they realise it's you he's singing to.

You can feel your eyes watering as you stare at the man of your dreams singing to you up on stage. You don't know what to do as part of you wants to jump right into his arms but there's still part of you which knows that you shouldn't do that because he needs to get over you and move on to find someone better than you. Darren finishes the song off,

I see you singing on that stage
You look just like an angel
And all I do is pray
Than maybe someday
You'll hear my song
And understand that all along
There's something more that I'm trying to say
When I say

(Y/N),(Y/N)
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me?
What you're doing to me…

(Y/N), (Y/N)
Why can't you see
What you're doing to me?
What you're doing to me…

Darren looks to you as he starts talking,

'So, hi everyone! I know this was a bit of an impromptu performance but I have to tell you guys something... The reason I sang that song is because I'm hopelessly in love with this girl right here,' he says as he points to you and you here people going 'Aww' and you start smiling down at your feet as you feel your cheeks turn red, 'and I really need your help to get her back because she thinks all my fans are going to hate her.. You guys wouldn't do that would you?'

The audience screams 'No' right at Darren which makes him smile,

'That really means a lot to me.' he says as he turns to you, 'So (Y/N)… what do you say? Will you give me another chance? You wouldn't want to disappoint our fans would you?' he says teasingly.

The audience starts screaming as they push you up onto the stage. You stare right into Darren's eyes,

'Well what do you think (Y/N).. will you give this goofball another chance?' he says smiling down at you,

'Dare, I'm so sorry… I was completely stupid to think I could just leave you like that.' You say with a small smile on your face,

'(Y/N)… I told you I'm never letting anyone get in between us. I heard you call out to me when I left your house, I knew this wasn't what you really wanted.. I had to come find you.' He says wrapping his arms around your waist,

'But how can you just take me back like this? I hurt you Dare… I hurt myself.. but you're just forgiving me like nothing happened.' You say worried Darren didn't want you anymore,

'(Y/N)… you had every right to do what you did, everything just got so out of hand and I should have been there for you more. I'm sorry (Y/N).' Darren says looking down at his feet,

'No.. no you have nothing to apologise for. I wasn't thinking… I didn't think I was good enough for you… I still don't. You deserve so much better than me.' you say dropping your hands to your sides,

'(Y/N) don't ever say that again. I love you so much… you're the only one I want around, you make me so happy so don't you ever leave me again.' He says making you smile as you look up into his eyes,

'When did you become so perfect?' you say smiling up at him,

Darren laughs sweetly, 'I think it's you who's the perfect one.' He says as he pushes your hair behind you ear and kisses you on the lips in front of an applauding audience.

You pull away, 'I've missed that so much... I love you.' You say with desperation and you look up at Darren's face where he's got the goofiest smile, 'Why are you so happy?'

'Oh well I think we just made our relationship official!' he says with excitement as you notice all the audience are taking photos and clapping,

'I guess so.' You say as you lean in for another kiss.
