Before I Die | Lilo AU

VII : Drama

A/N: in this story, Lottie is aged 14-15. I know that if Louis is 16-17 in this, she should be about 11 but I'm gonna change it a little. Thanks! K

Liam and Louis had brought me homemade cookies, which they claimed they had made them themselves, but when I tasted them I knew they were the work of Johanna.

Throughout the day, I was visited by school friends, family and some people my family knew, although Li and Lou never left my side. My hospital room was now filled with flowers, balloons, cards and the odd teddy bear. I was dazed at how many people could care about me, but Louis informed me that it was because it had basically just resurrected from the dead after five weeks.

"Why happened since when I was gone?" I asked, looking for juicy gossip or just any news.

"Well, there's a new kid in our school called Zac or Zayn or something. Ummm, oh, and Lottie got a boyfriend, which I'm raging about," Louis told me with fists scrunched. I laughed at his expressions.

"Who's the lucky fella?" I asked sweetly. Liam and Louis made dangerous eye contact. I could tell they were having a severe conversation through eye contact. "What? What's going on?"

"Krissy, Lottie's new boyfriend is Harry Styles..." Louis bit his lip and did his signified puppy dog eyes.

What the hell. Harry Styles, the boy who shoved my into the school lockers and pulled my wig off in front of two dozen people?! You can't be serious.

"Seriously?" I asked holding back my anger.

"Yeah," Louis confirmed.

"Lottie can do so much better. Tell her said that," I spat.

Liam turned his head to the door. "Tell her yourself. She's here... and she brought Mr. Styles. Great."

Lottie and Harry wandered into my hospital room after knocking. Harry looked bored and moody, but Lottie was her same old self, happy and cheerful.

"Hi Krissy!" Lottie greeted, hugging me gently.

"Lottie, Hey!" I cheered, ignoring Harry completely, who was now slumped against the wall. Louis eyed him like a hawk.

Lottie handed me a card and told me to get well soon and I thanked her. We didn't do much talking after that as I found it awkward with Harry staring at me from a few metres away.

Thankfully, Dan, Lottie and Louis' step-dad, was waiting outside the hospital for Lottie and Harry (there was no parking spaces so he couldn't come in and wish me well, so Lottie told me) and the two of them disappeared soon later.

"Wow, drama much. What about you, Payno? Any news?" I asked.

"Nicola moved out. She now lives in Delaware with her friends there, which is interesting. I don't know when I'll see her next, but she said she sends her love to you," Liam said smiling softly.

"Tell her thanks!" I grinned. "Anything else I should know?" I said, thirsty for gossip.

"I'm paperboy now. And I have loads of money saved up so I'm gonna treat you soon," Liam informed us.

"Okay. Thank Li!" I smiled. "That's great."

"Oh yeah, I'm also paperboy. I'm also gonna treat you, if ya want," Louis hemmed in.

"Yeah, I'd love it. Great!"
