Once In a Lifetime

Chapter 36

Louis pov, August 21

"Hey mate!" I answered the phone. Zayn was calling, and I wouldn't want to miss that.

"Hey man. How are you?" he said with a smile. I love technology.

"You dyed your hair again?" I huffed with a chuckle.

"Yeess. Pink, for my girl." He laughed.

"Which one?"

"Both girls."

"Have you picked a name yet?" I asked. I have been trying, but he hasn't given anything away.

"Maybe..." he said with a smirk. "I want to let you hear something. Something I've been working on. And you have to say what you think about it." he said, and I nodded. "Honestly." He added.

"Yeah yeah, just show it. I'm sure it's great." I said as he furrowed his brows. "What's wrong?" I asked. It seemed like he was looking past me, so I turned my head and looked for something that was out of place. Nothing.

"Is that Julia?" Zayn asked, pointing at her with his head.

I chuckled and said, "Yes. The one and only."

"Can I say hi?" he asked, and I smiled. We all knew her once, before... Well before everything.

"Sure." I told him. I turned my head form where I was sitting and looked at Jules sitting in the grass, painting. "Tink? Can you come here for a sec?" I asked her.

Her head shot up and she smiled sweetly at me. She stood up and walked to me. Her eyes widened, but a smile appeared on her lips.

"I'm facetiming with Zayn, and he wanted to say hi." I said, looking at her with a smirk.

"Hiii. I'm Zayn!" He exclaimed, looking at her.

"I'm Julia." She waved with a big grin.

"What were you painting?" I asked her.

"Oh, uhm. The sunrise from a couple days ago." She answered. "Wanna see?" she asked with hope in her voice.

"Of course." I replied.

She walked away and came back with her painting. She turned it to me, so I could see it and my mouth dropped. "That's beautiful. You really did a good job." I smiled. It's as if I'm standing there. And here I was, thinking she wouldn't remember anything from that trip. It was so early, and she was so tired.

"Show me, show me." Zayn said and she turned her painting to him. A smile crooked up his lips. Zayn and Liam are great artists. Zayn more in graffiti, but drawing too, and Liam painting and drawing.

"Wow. I wasn't even there, but I feel like I was." Zayn answered and Jules blushed.

"Thank you." She shyly said. "I'm gonna..." she pointed to the spot she was originally sitting.

"Yeah sure." I answered.

"Bye Zayn." She waved and he waved her goodbye too.

"She has grown." He said once she was gone.

"Yes, she has." I said, looking at her.

First time I met her, she was maybe six or seven. I'm not sure. She looked a lot like Harry. Their eyes. They were the same. The same green colour. So beautiful. I can get lost looking in Harry's eyes.

And then their curls. Even though Julia has blonde hair, and Harry has brown hair, it looked the same. Until Julia started growing her hair out. It was so blonde. And now it has gotten that red tint in it.
