We Belong Together [David Desrosiers] ONESHOT

It hurt how he was talking a lot with Jeffs cousin. He would sneak glances at me every now and then, thinking I wouldnt see. But how could I not when I kept staring at him? Jeff's cousin was great. She was beautiful and very sweet. But yet I dont think she deserves David. I am jealous. I am aware of that.

"You really love him, dont you?" My friend Danielle whispered.

"Yeah, I do" I nodded, not taking my eyes off of him.

We were all sitting in Pierre's living room; Simple Plan, me, Danielle, and Jeff's cousin Misha.
Pierres girlfriend, Lachelle, and Sebastiens girlfriend, Jamie, were out shopping I guess, having a girls day.
I had Pierres puppy, Delilah, in my lap, stroking her soft fur.

"You have to do something about it. It was a stupid break up, you know.." Danielle whispered yet again. I looked down at Delilah, she was sleeping. Then I took a quick glance at Danielle, then back at David. He caught me staring at him, again, and glared at me. I felt like I had a blank look in my eyes, saying nothing.
It had been like this for a couple of weeks, and I was hurting inside. I guess I should tell you about what happened between David and I.

We had had a perfect relationship. We had been together for almost a year. We had all went to a club one night, I had been a bit tipsy, but not drunk, when I was dancing with Lachelle. There came a guy up to me and we started dancing, and David saw. He got frustrated and I knew this had hurt him. I had hurt him. We got into huge arguments everyday after this night. I had cried myself to sleep almost every night. David hadnt been feeling too well either. I dont know if he cried other than one time when I guess he thought I was asleep.
I dont know what happened, but he started talking a lot to Misha, and it hurt me, because I knew it was because I wasnt paying him as much attention as I should have.
Then one night I blew at him, I was so hurt and frustrated and jealous because he was hanging around Misha so much. They were flirting. I couldnt handle it anymore. I remember telling him that I didnt love him anymore. And I left. I left him, I left home. My home in his arms.
I remember my girls backing me up. I remember Pierre flipping out on me, causing me to cry. I hated Pierre for a couple of days. I really hated him. But I got over it. I never really got over David though. I need him. We belong together.
I felt like this was all stupid. Why couldnt I just handle this like an adult? Im 21 years old for crying out loud. David is 24. I remember when I met him. I had moved to Montreal a few months earlier. This was where I met the other guys of SP. I met David after a small gig, the first gig with all the SP guys. He had just joined the band a week before, and he had to learn all of the songs. But he made it. I remember being impressed. I was amazed by how much energy he had, this kid could be going on and on and on for hours. We had been good friends since then, since we were both the crazy type. Then one day, he asked me out on a date. This was about a year ago. We started dating after that amazing night.

"Honey lets get you home, you dont need to see this" Danielle said, taking Delilah out of my lap, and standing up giving her to Pierre.
"Guys Danielle and I are going, see you tomorrow!" I said softly as I was rising from my seat on the smallest couch. I rushed out, I couldnt take it anymore. Danielle followed quickly. We drove in our own cars to Pierres, so this is where we are parting. I didnt even say goodbye to her, I just got in my car and drove home to my apartment.

When I opened the door I went straight the living room to put a CD on.
Mariah Careys voice filled the room. The song was We Belong Together. It described how I felt. I started singing along.

"Im trying to keep it together, but Im falling apart" I sang. I meant every word I sang.

"Whos gonna take your place there aint nobody better"

I got to get him back. This feeling is torture.
I sat down with my laptop in front of me and started on my idea. I dont know if it is going to work, probably not, and thats not really the point. The point is to get him to understand that I actually do love him. Because I do.

The next few days the guys hung out, but without me. I had other stuff going on.
On a Thursday around 1 Oclock I was at a door. David's door. And I was knocking on it.
He opened the door, and I handed him a bag with a DVD and a letter.

"Umm, hi Vanessa?" he was looking at me confused. I loved when he did that. But I saw so dislike in his eyes, I saw how he didnt want me here, I saw hurt in his eyes. But I also saw some kind of hope. I dont really know what it was.

"You wanna come in?" he asked opening the door more and stepping aside when I nodded my head.
This apartment was so familiar to me. It felt good to be back, I hadnt been here for a little over a month.

"Whats this?" he asked, holding up the DVD.
"Watch it" I simply answered. He went into the living room and popped in the DVD and turned on the TV. On the screen was a movie I had made. There were pictures of David and I. Then the pictures and footage was only of him. The song in the background was We Belong Together by Mariah Carey. But it wasnt her singing it. No, it was me. I was singing every word to David in that video. I didnt watch the video. I was watching him, and his reaction to this. I slowly backed away, and I knew he saw. I softly closed the door to the apartment and went back home. My cheeks were tear-stained when I reached my apartment. I needed him. He was probably reading the letter by now. It read;

Dear David.
What happened to us? This is wrong. I hurt you. I hurt myself by hurting you. This is all stupid. I dont really know what to say, it all seems so cheesy and corny. Instead Im going to talk about you. Only you. Not us. You.
David dear, you are one of a kind. The one I never thought I would ever find. But I feel so lucky because I did find you. You are so amazing. At first when I met you I thought you were this guy who was just all fun, and not really sensitive. But soon I learned a lot about you. Like that you are the greatest listener in the world. You care for everyone, even the people that you dont know. You are the greatest sweetheart in the world. You are the funniest guy. Im really amazed by you. I cant describe how lovely you are. You are just David. And I do love you. How could I not? How can I ignore the feelings I feel for you? I know this wasnt supposed to be about us, but you know I cant keep things in my head for too long. I suffer from symptoms of you, David. I dont really know what else to say other than I really do love you David.

You have my heart forever
Yours,
Vanessa.

An hour later there was someone at my door. I went to open the door, and when I did, I was greeted by David with a big hug.

"Im sorry" he mumbled into my hair. Suddenly he let go and cupped my check, kissing my lips in a passionate kiss.

I felt loved.
And I was.

I'm amazed by David. <3
