Louis Tomlinson's POV

I was walking towards her for a hug and I want to tell her how sorry I am for leaving her. I know it's unfair when I do something it's as if nothing matters, but when she does something wrong we would have to argue about it for a long time.

It hurts me the most when she turned away and walked to the kids instead and left me dumbfounded.

She hugs Jane then John and surprisingly she hugged John longer while she was doing that Cody comes near Thea and I swear i'm trying my best to prevent myself from punching him and thankfully he just picked up the little girl and told John they were leaving.

Thea stood up from her position, and I finally took the advantage of standing beside her and offering her a ride home thankfully she nods slightly without even looking in my direction. She looks as if she's so worried and it's killing me inside.

I gently place my hand on the small of her back and guided her to my car. I opened the door for her and waited for her to go in, I didn't get the silent "thank you's" like before, her silence is more painful and I hate it. I don't know what's going on in her mind, is she leaving me because she thinks I cheated on her or is she tired of my shit for being too violent
I hopped in the car and started the engine. I started to drive the routes that lead to her house but she interrupts me.

"To your house please." She weakly says. I spun the car around and drove to my house.

"I need explanations later." She says again as she leans her head on the window and stares out of it.

I play the radio to somehow ease the tension, The Fray's song, Absolute, starts to softly play.

"Thea, whatever you're thinking I just wanted to somehow ease your mind and tell you I wasn't with another girl alright?" I tell her, I look at her to see she had drifted to sleep.

I looked back at the road and drove by the blinking street lights, as I head home I think about all the possible things I could say later. I honestly don't know where to start, do I tell her the truth or not?

Tears start to form in my eyes, but I don't let them fall since nobody's around to catch them.
I sigh and parked at the garage of my house and went out the car. I opened Thea's door and picked her up, she groans slightly yet still remained sleeping. I click the lock button in my keys, I walked towards the door and slowly bent down to level my hands with the knob and twisted it.

I went straight to my bedroom and laid her gently on the bed and covered her with the duvets. She looks like an angel, peaceful, calm -- simply wonderful. I opened my drawer and got some boxers and changed into them.

I closed the lights and looked at her one last time, how the moonlight reflected on her skin. Slowly the moonlight fades, I looked up at the moon to see it was covered by the clouds.
That's what she is to me. Thea's my moonlight whom guides me through my darkest and lowest times. While I am her clouds whom would stay in front of her to protect her, but maybe too much of me would cause her to loose her light and absorb the darkness.

I wanted to give her space, so I slept on the couch. I got my phone on the table and checked the time, the brightness of the screen was painful to my eyes and it was nearly 6 in the morning. I stretched one last time before I stood up and prepared coffee for both Thea and I.

As I wait for the coffee, I slowly crept in my bedroom to see Thea still peacefully asleep and tiptoed to the bathroom to prevent her from waking up. I washed my face and brushed my teeth before finally going back outside to pour coffee on both our mugs.

"Good morning." Her soft voice greets that slightly surprised me.

"Good morning, babe. How did you sleep?" I smiled.

"Good. Ugh.. where did you sleep?" She avoids eye contact and stares at her small hands.

"On the couch." I averted my head to the place I slept in. "Coffee." I push her mug at the end of the kitchen counter and she slowly walks over to pick it up.

"Why didn't you just sleep.. in your bedroom?"

"I figured you wanted some space."

"I'm tired of the space between us Louis." She sighs as she takes a sip of her coffee.

"Anyway, you wanted the explanation right?" I asked and she nods. "I was out with other girls." As soon as these words leave my lips she chocked on her coffee.

"Let me finish." I raise my pointer finger. "My mom and my sister."

"How did it go?" Her eyes lit up from happiness, but soon she frowns when she sees my expression.

"My sister is visiting us this week and she-"

"That's great! After all those years you'll finally be reunited with your family." She cuts me off.

Only if Thea knew why I was really upset, instead of ruining the mood we both finished our coffees and waited for the day my sister visits.
