I love him (L.S.)

Chapter 1

Louis

"Lou...Wake up babes, you're gonna be late for school.

I slowly opened my eyes to see my brother holding a book bag in his hand. It looked new. With a sigh, I sat up. Before I got to say anything, he spoke again.

"Here Kiddo. Throw the old one away." He said, pushing the bag into my hands.

"Z, you didn't have to. My old one if just fine." Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate Zayn wanting me to have a good bag to bring to school, my old one looks like a torn sack to be honest, but I don't want him to spend so much money on me. He already stopped Uni and is working so hard to buy food and pay my fees. I don't want to be a burden.

You see... Me and my brother aren't practically the richest family you see around. Yes, we have a car and our own house but that's all we have. Thank goodness for that or we'll have to pay rent too. Our mum and dad died in a car crash a couple years ago. Since then it's just me and Z. He has been my everything. He works 3 jobs just so I could live a proper life. I suggested that I could stop school and go to work too, so that he can cut down on his work load. But that made Z so mad that he yelled at me for the first time.

"Lou your bag isn't fine. Everything is falling out" I went to protest but Zayn gave me a look that shut me up.

I slowly crawled out of bed and hugged my older brother. With a peck on the cheek, "Thanks Z..." I whispered. He ruffled my hair and asked me to be down quick. With that I went to change and brush my teeth.

I walked down the stairs to see Z standing by the door with a sandwich in his hand. "Here eat. We are so late Lou!" He said while pushing me out and locking the door. We jumped into the car and headed towards school. We didn't speak the entire ride but that was okay. Zayn was nodding along to the song while I ate my sandwich.

"Babes I have a shift at the cafe later so I won't be there when you get home. But I'll be back for dinner okay?" Zayn spoke as we pulled up at school. I turned to him with a pout.

"You're always at work Z! We never get to spend time together anymore. I miss you" Going home to an empty house just feels depressing.

"I understand kiddo but we talked about this. We need the money." He looked at me with tired eyes as he continued, "We'll get pizza and cuddle tonight okay? We can even watch Tangled if you want. Please stop pouting babes, I feel like a horrible brother" His eyes teared up. Soon mine followed too.

I rested my head on his shoulder as I said " No Z thats not what I meant. You're the best brother I could ever ask for." He kissed my head before I pulled away.

"I love you. Text me when class ends and when you reach home okay." He said before kissing my head once again. I opened the door while rolling my eyes. "Hey don't roll your eyes at me mister."

"Okay Z, I love you! See you later. Now go before you get fired!" He chucked and waved at me before leaving the school premises.

" I am sooo sorry Miss Styles I promise I reached school before the bell rang! My brother and I were having a moment at the parking lot and I didnt notice the time. I am very sorry." I rushed out as I entered the class. She gave me a pointed look before allowing me to go to my seat.

"So....How's your hot brother doing"

"Shut up Niall. You're straight" I said keeping my eyes on the board.

"Says who" He said raising an eye brow. I turned to him and copied his action. I smirked before landing a wet kiss on his cheek. "EWWWW! LOUIS WHAT THE FUCK! THAT IS DISGUSTING!" Niall yelled, making the whole class look at us. I looked up to see Miss Styles glaring at us.

"Would the two of you like to leave my class?" She asked raising her eyebrows. I shook my head and looked down at my lap. I wasn't usually the kind to get in trouble. In fact, I was one of the top students. I'm not a nerd, I dont like going to school or studying. But I do it to make Z proud. It's my way of contributing.

The day dragged on with boring classes and useless quizzes. Who even decided to create those. Classes were finally over. Me and Niall rushed out of class just wanting to leave this place. I ran into someone and it sent both of us to the ground, papers flying everywhere. I turned my head to look at the person I collided with, finding my Math teacher looking at the papers around us.

"I'm really sorry Miss Styles" I said getting her attention. She gave me a sad smile before standing up and stating to pick up the papers. Miss Styles is the fun teacher everyone yearn to have. All of us loved her. With guilt written all over my face, I quickly stood up and helped her with the papers.

Once we were done, her hands were occupied with a stack of paper. She turned to look at her bag which was on the floor. I quickly picked it up and smiled at her. she returned the gesture and made her way towards her class.

"Thanks Louis." She said, putting the papers down on the desk. I smiled placing her bag next to it. I turned and left the classroom while getting my phone out to text Zayn

To Big Bro:
Leaving school Z

I was about to put my phone back into my pocket when it started ringing. I was surprised to see Zayn's friend calling me.

"Hey Lima! What's up?"

"Hi Lou! Zayn asked me if I could pick you up since it's raining and you probably dont have an umbrella."

I opened the main door to see that it was indeed raining.

"I'm almost there okay? Just give me a couple more minutes."

"It's okay Lima take your time. Thanks though"

"Yea yea just wait inside." He said before hanging up. I stood by the door admiring the rain when Liam's Black Bugatti pulled up. So as you might have guessed, Liam is rich. Like RICH rich. But he's very humble about it. Well, other than his car. Liam just loves his car. Atleast he only has one.

I quickly ran and got into the car not wanting to get too wet. "Hey Lima" I said after getting settled in the car. I gave him a quick hug. You see, Liam is like family. He is Zayn's best friend, like another brother to me. He was always there to help us. He even let us stay at his house for awhile after the car crash. The list of things he has done for us can go on and on. But you know what I mean yeah.

There was a comfortable silence as we headed home. I took out my phone to see a couple of messages from Z.

From Big Bro:
Sry I couldn't see ur txt sooner

I'm sure Liam picked u up alrdy

I'll be back by 6.30 ok?

From LouBear:

No biggie Z

And can we get Chinese instead of pizza??

From Big Bro:

Sure babes

I hav to go now. Bye

Love you!!

I put my phone away with a smile on my face. I got out of the car seeing that we reached home. Liam insisted that he stays till Z is back. I quickly agreed because why not? It's always nice to have someone around.

Liam and I sat down on the couch and started on my homework. Liam always helped me when he was over. So thats how time passed till Zayn returned home.

Author's Note: Hey!! Thank you for reading. I hope you can leave your comments. The first chapter is really slow. I just wanted to show Louis' relationship with the people around him. The next chapters hopefully won't be this draggy.
