Live while we're young

Home sweet home?

RILEY'S POV!!

After the long (and very awkward) car ride, we finally stepped foot into mum's rather large flat.

"This is the living room. The kitchen is straight back. My room is the first door on the left, and yours is down the hall farther and on the right side," she said. I looked around until my eyes landed on the fireplace in the licing room. I went over to it and peered at the pictures.

They were just pictures of her and Uncle Simon, one of me as a kid, but one caught my eye. It was a black frame with the word 'family' at the bottom in silver writing. The picture was of mum, 'dad', and I. We were all smiling. I was about four. I could feel the burning in my eyes. I just let the tears fall. The hot tears strolled down my face. My vision became blurry and a quiet sob escaped my lips.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned slowly. Even with the distorted vision I saw mum, standing with a pitied look on her face.

I looked away. I didn't need pity. Especially from her. Not after what she did.

"Why do you have this picture," I spoke quietly. It came out harsher than I expected but at this moment, but I don't really care at this point.

"Memories. Only for lost memories," she said her voice wavering. I squeezed my eyes shut.

"You made the memories lost," I growled at her and brushed past her shoulder. I went down the hallway and found my room rather quickly. I fell straight onto the bed and cried. Every single tear that was shed was all because of her.

It just pisses me off. Everything does. My father. My mum. Stress. It's all getting to me finally. Like, I've finally realized it.

My laptop starts to beep from it's spot on the desk. I groan and trudge over to it.

Skype pops up and the name Louis Tomoinson, shows up. I smile softly. I miss him so much already it'd be nice to chat with him.

I press accept call and soon his beautiful face pops up.

An instant smile appears on his face, "Riley!" He says happily.

"I miss you so much Lou!" I smile. There's a knock on Louis' door and Harry and Niall step in, closing the door behind them.

"Hey Louis, who ya talkin' to?" Niall chirps. Louis waves his hand towards the screen and I wave at them.

"RILEY!" Harry and Niall yell at the same time.

Niall gets very close to the camera smiling wide. Harry attempts to push him away but is failing. I'm laughing the enire time.

Finally, all three have sat down next to each other and are asking me questions.

"Riley, I miss you so much and I love you with all my heart you know that right?"Louis says with a crooked smile.

"I know Lou. I love you too, forever," I say. Niall and Harry coo and Harry wipes fake tears away dramatically.

"This. Is. Precious," He sing songs. I half smile. I feel my cheeks burning red. Louis is the same way. I look down and fiddle with my fingers.

I chew on my bottom lip. I look up to meet Louis' eyes on me, a worried look on his face.

"Riley? Is something wrong?" He asks.

"No, it's just-" I'm cut off by a knock at the door.

"Riley? It's time for dinner. I ordered pizza. Please come down," My mum says before I hear her footsteps fade away.

"Oh sorry Lou, I have to go. I love you so much and I'll call tomorrow. If I haven't called by six, you call me," I tell him.

He smiles brightly, "Okay. I love you so much. Don't you ever forget that. I'll love you to the moon and back, forever and always, all that cheesy stuff," He saus sweetly. I smile brightly before I reply.

"I love you too Louis. Goodnight," I say.

"Goodnight Riley,"
