I woke up to the sound of wind against the side of the house. Was it morning yet? I couldn't tell. Louis' room was dark with all the blinds closed. I rolled over and looked at the time. 10:05 am. I rolled back over to Louis, him still sleeping. I really didn't want to wake him up but I just couldnt resist. I ran my fingers across his jaw and into his hair. "Lou?" I whispered. His eyes fluttered opened. I swear they more blue then yesterday.
"Good morning baby," he smiled before pulling me closer.
"Good morning to you too," I mumbled my face pressed in his chest.
"How are doing? Are you ok?" he asked.
"Ya I'm fine. Just a little sore," I replied.
"Where?"
"Everywhere." He laughed and then released me.
"You're naked.... in my bed. Did that actually happen last night or was it a dream?" he asked.
"It happened and it was amazing," I told him.
"Oh good. Well I expect nothing less from me any ways," he laughed. I rolled out of bed and stood up, grabbing my underwear off the ground. Louis watched me the entire time and I decided to make a show of it. I put my underwear on real slow and shimmied it up my hips. "Ok you need to come back to bed right now," he said defeated. I laughed and walked to the washroom leaving him in his misery.
When I looked in the mirror I had really bad sex hair. I never really thought sex hair was a thing but I can guarantee you it is. I quickly ran toothpaste and mouth wash around my mouth and attempted to fix my hair. Eventually I just gave up and went back to Louis. I went into his drawers and pulled out one of his shirts slipping it over my head.
I walked back to the bed and bellied flopped beside him.
"Why did you have to go put clothes on?" he pouted. He nuzzled his face into my neck, leaving sloppy kisses.
"Because I have a feeling nothing productive would happen if I had no clothes on," I giggled.
"Lot's of productive things would happen." He rolled on top of me and kissed my lips. The fact that I didn't have to worry about going too far anymore was actually sort of freeing.
"Are one of those productive things making me breakfast?" I laughed.
"Pancakes?" He smiled.
"Pancakes."
...
"Todd?" I yelled as soon as I walked in the door. I don't know why but it was just a habit.
"No just me," my mom said as she rounded the corner. She was wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt which was unusual. Normally I saw her in a blouse and pencil skirt.
"Oh. What are you doing home?" I asked. Normally she would be working.
"It's Sunday. I thought I would take the day off." She never takes Sundays off... Something was wrong. Her voice was shaky and flat and she wasn't questioning me on everything.
"Oh ok," I said awkwardly. I grabbed my sleepover bag and tried to get to my room.
"Actually I'm glad your home I wanted to tell you something."
"Ok what us it?" I asked throwing my bags in my room and closing the door.
"Your father and I signed the divorce papers today." I don't know why but it kind of felt hard to breathe. I don't like my dad and I don't think they should be together but you always think your parents will make it through. Hearing it from my mom almost makes it seem official. "We have still have somethings to settle so we have a hearing not this Friday but next Friday and I think you should come." That was the day before Louis and I were supposed to leave.
"Oh alright I guess I'll be there, " I said hesitantly. I really didn't want to go, but she just looked so defeated and I couldn't say no, not to her, not now.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"Ya I'm fine. I just....I just thought you guys were okay." She looked at me confused. She was probably thinking how does me showing up and seeing my dad with another girl in our living room look ok. "I just mean a couple months ago I thought you were ok. I mean I know you had your problems but you went to Rome together. You spent the entire summer together." She shook her head at me, tears forming in her eyes.
"I went to Rome...Your father did not. He spent the entire time going to business meetings. And I didn't even care because I knew. I knew everything," she paused, tears rolling down her cheeks," How I wish I knew nothing." And I can only hope that I never end up like my parents.
....
"Why do you look like that?" Amanda asked me. Did I look bad or something? I slammed my locker closed.
"What do you mean?" I asked. She squinted at me and poked my face.
"You have had a permanent smile on your face all week when normally you have resting bitch face."
"Do I really have resting bitch face?" I said concerned.
"Well ya sort of. Anyways what's going on with you? Is there something exciting happening?" she asked. I may have failed to tell her about Louis and I yet. But I was kind of scared... what would she think?
"Well something exciting did happen..." I answered. She stared at me blankly. "Can we talk about this on the way home?" I asked. I started to walk down the hall and she followed closely behind me.
"Normally I can guess what's going on but I'm having issues today," Amanda said.
Finally we made it out to her car.
"So what's up?" she asked. She took a left out of the parking lot which wasn't really the way to my house but I didn't say anything because I was sure she was just delaying.
"Well Louis and I finally......" my cheeks started to burn. This was insanely awkward for me.
"Finally what?" she asked.
"You know....did it." It was silent.
"Oh my god. Oh my god! You had sex!? With him?!" she screeched. I couldn't tell if this was angry excitement or happy excitement. "Why didn't you tell me like the day it happened?! How was it? Was it good?"
"It actually was quite amazing. Not how I thought it would be but not terrible," I answered.
"Wow. I can't believe you were the first one. I always thought Ava would be first."
"Trust me, Ava was really close to being first," I laughed.
"So that's it? Your boyfriend screws you and you suddenly the most happiest being on earth?"
"Not only that but we are going to England together like this Saturday."
"This Saturday!? For how long?"
"A couple weeks," I paused for a minute,thinking,"Do you think it is a stupid idea?" She took a sharp right turn.
"Hell ya it's stupid. But I say do it because it sounds like fun," she said honestly.
"Really?"
"Ya honestly. I think you should just do it. Be stupid for once."
"I have been very stupid these past couple of months," I admitted.
"So what's one more stupid thing to add to the list?" I thought about it for a minute. It was completely stupid but I really wanted it.
"I think you're right."
...
I walked into the courtroom and sat down behind where my mom was sitting. I don't know why but I felt extremely nervous for some reason. I'm not sure why I needed to be here anyways but Mom wanted me to come and I said I would. She turned around and smiled at me and I gave her a reassuring nod. I looked to the left at my Dad. He was sitting there flirting with his slut girlfriend. I wanted to vomit right here on the polished courtroom floors.
A man enter the room and sat down at his pedestal. I was assuming he was the judge. I didn't think you needed to go to court to get a divorce but then again both my parents have tons money. Then again they are probably just arguing about who gets the boat.
The man went on about finances and stuff like that. Who would get the house, the cars and etcetera. The house was left in my mother's possession along with one of the cars and Todd's truck. That I was thankful for.
"Ok so now for the custody of Jessica Martin-" Wait, what? Why does there need to be a fight over the custody of me? Shouldn't I just live with my Mom since my stuff is already there?
"Honor if I may?" My dad said as he stood up.
"Proceed," the judge said motioning to my dad.
"Your Honor I would just like to say something before we negotiate the custody of my daughter. As we had discussed before, I believe Jessica would be better off in my care the majority of the time. My new house is closer to the school and frankly her mother is not a good parent. While I'm away she let's her be gone all night with out telling us where she is, she let's Jess get away with lying, and she also allows her to drink with out any punishment. She would be better off with me. Someone who can show her disciplinary action."
"Oh you fucking prick! " I shot up and yelled. The judge ordered me to sit down or be removed from the courtroom. "Obviously her language needs a little work as well," my father added.
"I would just like to say that a girl needs her mom. And there are just somethings a father can not do. Plus I don't want my daughter living with you and your bimb- I mean girlfriend," my mother retaliated. I didn't really want to live with either of them but I would sure as hell take my mother over him any day.
"Not to mention I have suffiecent funds to pay for Jessica ' s university next year and any other expenses," my dad said. Sure my dad did make more money then my mom but not by much. Both were highly paid and had enough money to provide for me.
"Oh so do I! And you were the one who kicked her out just a few weeks ago," my mom retaliated.
"I wouldn't have had to kick her out if you were a good mother." If this was a soap opera everybody watching at home mouths would be wide open.
"Oh I'm the bad parent?! You spend more time with your fucking whore then you do your own kids! The only time you talk to them is to yell or argue with them over something! You're a terrible parent and you know it!" she screamed.
"Order!" the judge yelled.
"As you can see my daughter gets her ill temper from her mother and also her habit of lying-"
"Oh bullshit!" I yelled.
"One more word from you and you will be removed immediately from this court room," the judge said giving me the death glare.
"I can provide a stable home for my daughter and my current relationship poses no threat to Jess but her mother's instability does so-"
"Go to hell!" My mother yelled. Oh no she is not making this better.
"Order!" the judge yelled looking straight at my mother,"In the case between Mr. and Mrs. Martin over the custody of Jessica Martin..."he paused. I held my breath for so long, to the point where it actually hurt. "I herby declare primary custody of the child to Mr. Martin and visitation rights to Mrs. Martin."
And that is when everything went to shit.

I know it's not the best but I'm still trying to get into the whole writing thing again. I may also forget details that I mentioned earlier in the story so sorry about that I try to keep it as accurate as I can. I find it really amusing that people keep saying that I'm quoting song lyrics and tv shows but I'm really not aware of it! Half the songs you guys mention I haven't even heard of or came out after I wrote that part of the story! :p I find that kind of cool especially the one direction references. Thanks for all the votes and reads and I never imagined having over 825k on my story! Thank you so much for that! You guys are great! :)
