Chapter 27: Familiar

Merry Christmas!  I know this is very boring for a chapter but it's suppose to be a filler until the next one. It'll start to move a bit more after this, but I don't feel like the speed has slowed down, just maybe done a 360 which is expected.  I attached a picture of what Jessi would look like, and the song is actually very good and is what Louis sings at the end.  Follow my twitter 5so1Dlove__ and I'll follow back!

Anne POV

I lay on the couch and stare numbly at the TV. The boys ordered breakfast pizza and somehow convinced the shop to deliver it. I'm too sick to eat and Maura is still asleep. Lottie, Lou and Lux were able to come by today and Liam and Zayn are talking on the floor. I think Perrie is asleep in the basement. I don't know where they are sleeping. I hear the door open and sit up as Elisa and Isaac walk in. Isaac smirks as he sets a Large Diet Coke, and a bag of Panera bagels in front of me.

"You don't have to eat them, but I got them exactly how you like." He says with a smirk. I thank him and grab the pop, happy for the caffeine to run through me. Elisa sits down next to me and takes a breath before speaking.

"So I know you don't want to do this, but we do need to go get you a dress." She says. I groan loudly and look away.

"Elisa that's the last thing I want to do." I say and she agrees with a nod.

"I know, but think of it like this. You get dressed up and we can always use it for something else. Maybe a casual date with Louis," She hints and Louis can't stop the chuckle from his seat on the floor. "Or you know maybe just when you want to get dressed up." She says and I sigh.

"Do we have to?" I ask softly and she nods.

"You don't even have to get cleaned up too bad. Actually just touch up your hair from yesterday and that should be good." She says and touches my hand. "Just please for me." She says and I sigh.

"Fine," I argue and she smiles. "But we need to bring Jessi. I can't make Maura watch her." I add and she smiles because for her it's a victory.

"Yay! Isaac go clean out your truck!" She calls and he grumbles about how his truck is spotless. I walk upstairs but Louis falls behind me.

"Do you mind if I join you?" He asks and follows me.

"No you're fine." I say and he touches my hand and squeezes tightly. I squeeze back and once we are past the landing, he pushes me slowly against the wall and kisses me softly.

"I know you didn't want to go out." He whispers against my mouth. "Thank you for trying to go and be normal." He says and I nod swallowing hard. I'm nowhere near normal.

"Thank you," I whisper back and he kisses me again. I open my door and see Jessi on the floor half-awake on top of extra blankets. She looks up slowly when I enter.

"When is mommy coming back?" She asks and rubs her eyes as I pick her up and put her on my bed.

"Jessi, sweetheart." Louis says and sits down with her. "Your mummy and daddy aren't here anymore. Didn't Anne tell you that?" He says and I grab a pair of leggings and a tank that says I believe in mermaids scrawled across it. I know Louis would make some comment but today he isn't. I pull the clothes on quickly as Louis talks to Jessi and starts to distract her with the promise of fun. Grabbing a light mint green shrug I pull it on and my mint vans. Louis looks up as I brush my hair and pull it back into a pony tail. Grabbing my makeup brush I dab on only a little bit of concealer and set my phone to play piano tracks while I work on my face. I don't do much for myself, just apply base and a little bit of mascara. I step away from my mirror and notice my piano in the background of my room. I look to Jessi and she smiles at me big.
