Everything's Not Lost [EDITING]

Chapter 6|| Twisted Logic

I go into my local sweet shop which is an old fashioned one; it's so cute and little. I walk in and wonder round looking for different sweets to buy when I hear someone's familiar voice from the till, I look up and see Louis working behind the counter. I wonder if he'll give me a discount since we're friends.

"Louis, since when do you work here?" I ask him.

"Since, I need to help my mum pay for me and my sisters," his sweet toned voice responds.

"Soooo.. I was thinking since we're buddies, you could give me a teensy discount?" I try to sound as loving and innocent as possible.

"No can do," he shakes his head. "Wish I could, love,"

"Please. Pretty Please" I beg.

"I can't give discounts but I can give you coupons?" He hands me a few from under the cash register.

"Thanks Lou" I smile at him taking the few coupons that he gave me. I continue to lounge around the shop I poured jelly beans, chocolate balls and a choice of dolly mixtures into the little plastic bags provided; I walk over to Louis in the front.

"Damn. Why are you buying so much?" Louis asks packing my sweets into a brown bag.

"Girl's night," I tell him. He understandingly mouths Ohh.

"You know there's a party tonight?" 

"Really? Where?" I curiosly ask.

"Jessie's," he replies.

"Damn Tomlinson, I've lived here longer but you know more about this town than I do," I tease. He chuckles at me, "Thank you, thank you very much,"

Jessie is the school's slut, well she has this boyfriend but she's cheated on him and he has no idea, he's such a nice person as well I wish he would see the evil we all see in her.

"I hate parties" I frown. "the whole thing will probably be a load of drunks and druggies,"

"No, there'll also be hot girls and dancing," his positivity clashes with my negativity.

"Eh," I frown again.

"I heard Harry's going," he tries to convince me.

"So?" I shrug.

"I thought that since you broke up the fight at the Cafe the other day, you'd be at the party as his protector or something," Louis chuckles.

"No, I just didn't want him to murder Connor," I tell him.

"Ha, sure," sarcasm filling his comment.

"I don't think he'll do anything bad. Not drugs, anyway. he wouldn't be that stupid, would he?" I question.

"Yikes. Let’s hope not," Louis makes a fake- scared face. I playfully push his shoulder. 

"I should get going, see you later," I wave goodbye before exiting the shop to Heather's, it's a short walk so I’m there in about five minutes. I made it to the front steps of her house. I would knock but the door was open.

I walk into her house and drop my bag, we walk into her back room where her cat, Cooper is. Holly named her cat, Cooper is named after Holly's crazy obsession with Bradley Cooper. I don't know exactly why Heather agreed to that name at the time but it kind stuck to her.

"Hey so tonight can we drop by Jessie's house?" I ask.

"Why?"

"I was at the candy shop and Louis told me there would be a party there," I inform her.
