When I woke up the next morning it was about 10. Since I was meeting Louis around noon I had plenty of time to get ready. Careful not to wake Phebe, I headed downstairs for breakfast. Of course I go down there for meals but I often eat in my own room. But today I had a strong feeling to eat down there. I guess there was a small part of me that believed taking Lottie to see Louis with me would reunite our family again. But I knew that was not the case.

I usually cook for myself because mum is drunk a lot and has lots of hangovers. I guess that's how she deals with the stress of dad and Louis gone. We all have an escape. Mum usually sleeps during the day but wakes at night so it's easy to leave the house and she honestly wouldn't care if we left and never came back. I put some pancakes in the microwave. "Mmmmm! Can I have some with whipcream and strawberries on top?" Lottie asks suddenly joining me. I smile. "Sure."

I make breakfast for Lottie and I while Lottie makes breakfast for the twins. They are starting to grow on me a bit. I used to not like them, I mean I always thought they were spoiled. But then again I've been keeping to myself for so long that I must've not realized how kind they can actually be. Well Phebe at least. Lottie and I set the table and poured glasses of apple juice. When everything was ready we sat down and ate.

Just as we sat, the twins came down. "Good morning!" Lottie said. They smiled, shyly returning the greeting. I couldn't help but notice them stare at me. I heard Phebe wisper to Daisy "That's the one that I was telling you about." "She sure looks different than before." Daisy replied. At that moment I realized that even though we live in the same house my siblings barely know who I am, much less what I look like. I've got to start spending more time with them.

The first few minutes of breakfast were pretty quiet until the twins finally opened up a bit. It was like a mini family reunion. After thirty minutes we were laughing and talking about all kinds of things. Finally Lottie told the twins to go do their homework, even though today was a Saturday. They must've had a project or something because they left reluctiantly.

"So we are still seeing Louis later right?" Lottie asked as soon as the twins left. "Yeah in about an hour now. We will meet him around noon at the park." "I'm going to get ready!" Lottie said, full of excitement as she left. I smiled to myself as I went to my room. Suddenly my room felt so lonely. So dark and small and quiet. So unlike my bold sisters. I finally had something to look forward to.

I got ready by taking a shower and brushing my teeth. I wasn't exactly sure what to wear. I'm not usually one of those girls who spends hours dressing up and trying to be someone they are not. I may be quiet but I'm not fake. I settled with a white lace shirt of mine and some blue jean shorts. I also wore light brown combat boots, one of my all time favourite pairs of shoes. I applied a small amount of mascara and eyeliner, not enough to look like I was a racoon though.

When I was done I headed downstairs. Lottie met me by the door. "Ready?" She asked. "Yeah." I said as we headed out. As we walked I couldn't help but notice that she seemed to be one of those exact girls that looked like she had racoon eyes. She wore way to much makeup. After about ten minutes of walking we arrived at the park.

The park was always a favourite place for me to spend my childhood. Louis and I had wonderful memories here. He always used to take me here and we would swing together, not a care in the world. It was so different now. But the thing we liked the most about the park was the fact that it wasn't ever crowded. We often had it just to ourselves which must have been convieniant to Louis so he wouldn't have to worry about fans. I honestly hated every single one of them. They need to learn the meaning of privacy, I mean how would they like it if random people showed up at their house, demanding to see their brother?

Near the back of the park was a small waterfall on top of a big grassy hill. There I saw him. I will never forget this moment. He was just as I had remembered except older. He looked a little different than the millions of pictures of him online but it was still him. I could reconize his familiar striped shirt anywhere. "Is that him?" Lottie asked, suddenly acting very nervous. I smiled and nodded my head. "That's him."
