Baker Girl <Louis Tomlinson>

Edited.

I walked down stairs, staring at the living room and at the mess.

"Shit." I mumbled.

"Are you okay?" I heard Louis mum from behind me and I jumped slightly.

"Yeah." I mumbled and grabbed a bin bag, I shook my head as i picked cans and cups from the floor, before shoving them in the bag. I sat on the floor and just burst in to tears. All the emotion that i'd hidden away yesterday just came flooding back and it was like being washed away at sea, literally. I sat with my head in my hands and A hand snaked around my shoulders, pulling me into there chest.

"shh, it's okay!" Louis mum mumbled and I shook my head, it wasn't okay. I was heart broken and i couldn't hide it anymore. I was just broken, totally broken. Un-mendable. I coughed as i tried to catch my breath, i needed to clear my head. I needed to clear my thoughts. I riggled out Jay's grasp before looking at her apologetically.

"I need some air." I said wiping the tears away. "Tell them i'm okay."

She nodded as I walked out of the door and I was in a town, i'd never been to before. No security guards and a phone that was about to die any minute. I sighed but carried on walking and I looked like a knob. I had leggings, uggs and a baggy shirt on. I got to this little café and ordered a drink, I sat on the seat on the far side, I shut my eyes and just rested them. Somebody cleared there throat, i opened them carefully, hoping it wasn't going to Louis but saw somebody who i was actually shocked to see.

"Hey." She said sitting in front of me.

"Hi." I mumbled smiling at her, weakly.

"It's Court from last night." She said, smiling.

"I know, it's just... it's been a bad morning." I said, looking at my drink then picking it up and took a sip.

"Whats happened?" She asked and she sounded so concerned.

"I lost my mum when i was about 12 to cancer and i had a few problems with my dad when we lost her, he would drink and stuff and then abuse me but i saw him when i was in my home town a few days ago and he was cleaned up. 2 days ago he was killed in a car accident, killed instantly." I spoke, quietly. She stood up and sat next to me as she wrapped and around me tightly.

"I know how you feel." She mumbled, her voice breaking. I pulled away and looked at her.

"How?" I spoke, softly.

"My mum and dad died in a car accident last year." She said, wiping her own tears away.

"I'm so sorry."

"Me too." She mumbled.

We sat in the café for hours, talking we must have gone through atleast 20 drinks between us.

"Do you want to come to our show tonight, V.I.P? Harry would love to see you again." I said, smiling as i stood up. Realising that i better make my way to the venue.

"Grandma, i'll be back later." She said, giving her a peck on the cheek.

We walked to the venue and got let through back stage walking to the dressing rooms.

"LILY!" Perrie screamed and I stood still seeing her face in pure horror.

"What?" I said, walking up to her.

"We thought something bad had happened." She said bringing me in to a hug. "Louis is pulling his hair out."

"Shitty shit shit." I muttered and Perrie nodded. I pulled Court with me and i knocked on there room door, holding my breath. Niall opened the door.
