It's safer in the dark - Sequel

Part 4

Louis POV

The next morning, I wake up early to begin the drive back home. I skip breakfast knowing I will have to eat this weekend to keep the boys off my back. As much as I'm angry at the boys for worrying and calling Cameron behind my back, I am excited to see Lacey and the twins. I haven't been back home for two months, and I miss the kids like crazy. Lacey looks a lot like Scott, with big brown eyes and long brown hair, she has Sammy's complexion though.

When she was born, I instantly fell in love with her. I'm not sure why, but we have had this connection since the minute she was born, and I held her for the first time. I've always been the youngest of my family and always the one being taken care of and worried about, and it was like, when Lacey was born, I finally had someone to look after and worry about. She is like my baby sister, and I absolutely love her to death. Don't get me wrong Audrey and Jasper are adorable and I would do anything for them, but Lacey and I share a special code together and I definitely have a soft spot for her.

The drive is long and even in my comfy Mercedes it seems to take forever, my butt going to sleep. It took me a while before I was able to get behind the wheel of a car again after the car crash, but I overcame that fear with the help of Kimberly. Although letting other people drive me still makes me really nervous. I feel really out of control putting my trust and life in someone else's hands whilst driving. It hasn't really been a problem the last few years though because I usually drive myself anyway.

Finally, I arrive in the boy's street and see cars everywhere, the party must have already started. I pull up and get out of the car. I'm wearing my black skinny jeans and my tight dark blue and white Leeds Festival T-shirt with my blue Vans and aviators. Scott's house is huge like everyone's on the street, it reminds me of the house we grew up in. I grab my duffel bag out of the boot and head to the front door.

As soon as I walk inside, I can hear the chatter and squeals of little kids that is coming from the backyard. I walk through the house and into the kitchen, taking my sunglasses off and putting them over the neck of my shirt. I see Scott and Sammy standing next to the bench, talking to their chief, yes, their chief. I laugh at the scene.

"You're getting too lazy in your old age Scotty, having people cook for you" I joke, as I put my bag down.

I see Scott's head whip up and the stress on his face seems to ease, his lips turn up into a huge smile when he sees me.

"Louis!" He yells.

He walks over to me and engulfs me in a huge hug, I sink into him and hug him back tightly.

"I've missed you, how have you been?" He asks me.

"Yeah good, I'm good" I say

He lets me go and holds me at shoulder length, looking me over. I try to hold my insecurities at bay, but I feel like I'm under scrutiny. Before Scott can say anything though Sammy is at my side.

"Gosh Lou, looking hot as babe! I've missed you" she says hugging me tightly.

I've missed Sammy a lot. Since she finished college and moved in permanently with Scott when I left, she has been amazingly supportive. Scott and Sammy are definitely the closest thing to parents I've ever had.

"I've missed you too Sammy" I tell her, hugging her.

Just then Edward and Andy walk through the back door.

"Louis! Kiddo get over here!" Edward smiles out.

I walk over and I can tell Edward is watching my every move observing me, but the smile doesn't leave his face. We hug and his smell engulfs me, I've missed my brothers. Andy pulls me out of Edward's arms to get his own hug in.
