Just The Underdog

Hey, my name is Skyler, Skye for short. I’m 16 years old but will be turning 17 on July 23rd which is in about a month. I’m probably not the most normal, average girl in the world. Sure, I love to shop, and listen to music but I just happen to be Louis Tomlinson’s cousin. You want to know what else? I finally get to visit him. Louis and I might have an age difference, but we are really close.

See, I live with my grandma. My parents weren’t really the best in the world. My father right now is in jail and my mom left me when I was twelve. So, I was forced to go live with my grandma.

 

Louis called me about two weeks ago offering to let me spend the summer with him and his band mates. He said that we might as well see each other now before his fame starts to rise and we wont be able to see each other. He also told me that they had just filmed there first music video, which by the way looked like a lot of fun.

 

So here I am. Waiting for Louis to pick me up from the airport. I’m sitting here on these black plastic chairs with my five suit cases next to me while I hold onto my phone while I wait for it to go off.

 

“Skye?” I heard a voice call. I got up quickly and looked around the room and I soon spotted Louis. I smiled and he ran towards me. When he reached me he pulled me into a tight hug and spun me around twice. “Skye I missed you so much!”

 

“I missed you to.” I giggled. He set me down on the grey tiles and put on his cheeky smile, “So Mr.Tomlinson, shall we stay here in this boring cramped airport or leave into your, what I assume amazing car.”

 

He chucked a bit and I smiled at him. “Lets get going.” We both grabbed a few purple and black plaid suit cases and walked out of the airport and out into the warm London air. London was my favourite place to travel, but I rarely got to go here.

 

I followed Louis around the parking lot until we stopped at a nice black van. He gave me a cheesy grin and opened the passenger seat door for me. “Thanks Lou” He closed the door for me and got in the drivers seat and started the car. He turned on the radio and turned it up when he heard ‘Party Rock Anthem’ being played. I rolled my eyes, this song is so over played. “Just think, you’ll be on the radio soon.” Parts of his bands new song, ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ flashed in mind.

 

“If we get that far.” Louis muttered. I looked at him like he was crazy. “Louis, you guys will make it that far. Your song is amazing, and you guys have wonderful voices.” I told him, “You guys are pretty hot to.”

 

He chucked at my last comment, “Thanks Skye. Well, maybe one of those guys will think your pretty hot to.”

 

I just shrugged. I’m not the type of girl who believes she’s beautiful, no matter how many times she hears it. I can be extremely insecure about myself but I try to avoid it.

 

Louis and I enjoyed our car ride by just talking and singing along to music, just like we used to. I missed not having Louis around all the time. Soon we pulled up to a medium sized flat. It was pretty nice though, he’s lucky to live in a place like this.

 

I opened the door and stepped out of the van and got a better look at the house. It looked to be two levels, and a big back yard. Louis walked me up to the front of the house and opened the door, letting me go in first.
