Battle Scars

Ch 12

I wake up to the sun in my eyes. I look at my clock and groan. Its 7 am that means I only got about 5-6 hours of sleep last night. Wonderful. I tense when I feel and arm draped on my waist and someone pressed against me. I relax as I remembered I asked Louis to stay with me. I gently get out of his grip and walk over to my closet. I look thru my small amount of cloths. I settle on a pair of black ripped jeggings and a black long sleeved V-neck. I grab new undergarments and went to the bathroom. I set my clothes down on the counter and went to fix the make shift lock I made on my closet.

 I walked back to the bathroom. Louis was still asleep so I closed the door and locked it. I turned the show on and undressed. I took of the bandages on my arm and though them out. After running a brush through my hair I set into the shower. The water stung my cuts.

 Once I get out I dry off and got dressed. I placed my hair in a towel and opened my bathroom door. I did not want to dry my hair if Louis was still asleep, that way I won’t wake him. As I opened the door I saw Louis was up and just on his phone. “Good morning” he says in his morning voice and smiled at me. Wow that’s hot. Wait what?

“Morning” I just replied. I took the towel out of my hair and grabbed my blow drier. I started to dry my hair. I could feel Louis eyes on me as I did so. Once I finished I walked back into my room. “What are we doing today?” I asked glancing at the time. It is was 8 o’clock. “I think we should just walk around the city. I herd there is a football field open to the public close to us so maybe we could go play?” Louis asked. I just nodded my head in agreement.

I left the room and headed down stairs. Louis followed me. I got down stairs to see Liam was already up and was making breakfast in the kitchen. I could smell it. I walked in.

“Morning Liam” I said sitting down at the island. He just nodded his head in greeting. He was making eggs. Louis walk in write after me. Still had no shirt on. He was pretty fit though. Woooo Alex stop no don’t think like that.

“Louis put a shirt on for gods sake.” Liam said when he turned around and saw him. I just laughed. Louis rolled his eyes and walked out. He walked in a few minutes later fully dressed in black skinny jeans and a Green Day t-shirt.

“Ok so sunny side up, scrambled, or an omelet Alex?” Liam asked. I admittedly felt Louis eyes on me. “I will just have scrambled” I replied. Liam nodded “How many?” “One egg will be fine.” He nodded again and started cooking. We sat in silence for a few minutes.

“So umm Alex.” Liam said. I looked towards him waiting for him to continue. “I went to put the rest of the pizza way and saw you only ate one slice and the slices where really small. Are you ok?”

“Ya I’m fine I just was not that hungry yesterday.” I said with a smile. A fake smile. I felt Louis eyes burning into the side of my head. He was yet again leaning against the wall. Liam smiled “Good” he said placing my egg in front of me. Liam turned to Louis and asked him what he wanted. Louis said his regular and Liam got back to work. I just started at my food.

Louis nudged my side. I looked at him and a flash of concern flooded through his eyes. I gave him a reassuring smile and slowly started picking at my food. I maybe ate about ¼ of it when Liam placed an omelet in front of Louis. Liam looked at me funny but I just stuffed another piece of egg in my mouth. Liam seemed to be unsure about something but just shook his head.

Liam walked over and started the coffee pot when Harry walked in.

“Good morning every one!” Harry said very happily. Weird. Liam handed Harry a cup of coffee.

“Alex do you want some coffee?” Liam asked pouring another glass for him or Louis. I just shook my head “No thanks I don’t like coffee.” “How do you not like coffee?” Harry asked. I just shrugged and took another small bite of my eggs.
