Love At First Sight

Chapter 1

Chapter 1- LAFS

"Kaysie!" I was awoken with a start. "Kaysie you need to wake up. Now." It was Officer Nickels. But I call him dad.

"Kaysie..I hate to leave you alone at 3 a.m...but..."

"Dad. I'm 18 years old. I think I can stay home by myself. And I'm going to sleep," I yawned. My dad huffed.

"Kaysie, get up. This is urgent and I need you to get up,"

I sighed and rolled out of bed, running a hand through my messy hair. The secret bright pink streak in my hair flashed against the usual dirty blond hue. I had gotton it dyed last summer with my best friends and it hasn't grown out yet. If my dad found out, he's kill me.

"I wonder what's so urgent that I had to get up?" I thought. Usually, when my dad gets called into the station, he leaves me at home and it's I'm fine. I groaned as I reached a knot in my hair. Why did I have to have my mom's curly hair? Why?!

My dad popped his head into my room.

"Ready squirt?"

"Not even close." I sighed.

******

When we finally got down to the police station, I could tell my dad was nervous. He still hasn't told me what's going on.

"Hey Jim. So glad you came. This boy won't crack." Officer Miller explained.

"Well I brought my secret weapon." My dad replied and then I knew why I was here.

My dad has been an officer all my life. Before I was even born. When I was a young girl, I caught on to his "spit it out" tactics. I could persuade even the toughest of criminals to confess. My dad doesn't like to expose me to criminals and "bad people" because I need to live my life and stay out of that.

We walked into the break down room which got its name because most criminals crack in there.

I wasn't prepared for what I saw. His eyes crashed into mine like a freakin bus. "I'm sad and depressed." They said. "I need help" they said. I wanted to jump into those orbs and swim in their beauty.

His hair was definitely supposed to be styled but had probably flattened by the lack of sleep and hair gel.

Officer Miller was first to speak. "Kaysie. Louis. Louis. Kaysie. Louis here has been called in for dealing drugs. But we tested him and there has been no drugs in his system for the past 6 months."

I walked I front of this "Louis".

"Why'd ya do it Lou? Dealing drugs is a crime ya know?" Nothing. I bent my head down to his face "Can I call ya Lou? You look like a Lou." Nothing. His eyes were darting all over the room but no words. "Lou. I'm not gonna hurt you. No one is going to hurt you. You hurt yourself." Nothing. "Hey Lou? Would ya feel better if these officers with their guns and tazers stepped out?" Nods. Finally. I looked over my shoulder at my dad and Officer Miller.

As they walked out, I could see Lou's tense shoulders let out. He looked up at me and smirked. "You're much prettier than those officers." My heart almost melted. His voice was deep and dark. And another thing. His accent. You'd think I'd be used to it.. I mean, I live in Doncaster. I see British boys everyday.

"Flattery will get you no where." I finally choked out. "Now, why'd ya do it, Lou?"

"Well, for one...Don't call me Lou. And two...I need the money."

"And a job didn't come to your mind?"

"I applied for 6 jobs and no one would take me. High school drop outs have it tough."

"What did you need the money for, Louis?"

"That's confidential."

"Unfortunately for you, we have to right to know that information. Answer the question, Louis. Now."

I could see his eyes start to water. Touchy subject, but I needed to know.

"I have 4 little sisters. Life is already rough as it is. 7 mouths to feed and not a steady income. And to make matters worse, one my sisters, Daisy, has leukemia. We don't have the money, ya know? Treatments are expensive. Too expensive for our large family. I never took the drugs. Just sold 'em."

I nodded. "How old is Daisy?" I asked, trying to break the silence.

Nothing. I had gotton enough out of him for today. He wasn't going to say anything else. Not tonight anyway.

I would crack Louis Tomlinson. If it was the last thing I do.
