I Know It's You (One Direction: Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction)

Chapter 21

Kevin's POV

Yesterday...

It's almost half past ten, but Julie is still not here. I already ate two packs of Doritos, two cans of Mountain Dew, and I already have my dinner. I also watched a couple of movies.

Her mum wasn't here yet, which is a good thing, I think.

The rain hasn't stop yet. Lightning shine trough the window which makes the room brighten a bit, then it will go back to its dim, calm state. I open our fireplace as it is getting colder in here, then I make a hot chocolate. I get my Beats pill speaker in my room and connect it to my phone.

I scroll through my songs and play the unknown song.

"You and I, we're like firework and symphonies exploding in the sky..."

The living room was filled with a soothing music. I sit on the couch and tuck the duvet, I get together with the speaker, towards my body.

I pull my beanie closer to my forehead so now it almost cover my entire fringe. It's so cold in here!

"With you I'm alive

Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide"

I let the music calm my mind. I rest my head on a pillow and close my eyes for a short nap.

"Without you, I feel broke like I'm half of whole

Without you, I've got no hand to hold

Without you, I feel broke like a sail in a storm..."

I wonder what do they feel. Julie and Louis, Zayn and, and Perrie. Call me anything you want but to be honest, I haven't been in any relationship before.

"Without you, I'm just a sad song"

After the song finishes, a new one play. After a couple of minutes, aunt Ellen's car pulled over the parking lot. Yup, I'm kind of familiar with her car.

Oh, great 'cause she's now here and her daughter is not yet at home!

I walk down a short hallway that connects our parking lot to the house, and open the door.

"Hi, Kevin", she waved as she got out of the car.

"Hello, aunt Ellen", I said putting my best smile I could muster. Because sooner or later she'll find it out.

" Can you help me with these groceries?", she asked as she open the back seat.

I wear a slippers and get two paper bags. I place it on the island table in the kitchen and went back to get the rest.

"Uh, Kevin where's your cousin?", she finally asked. Oh, what am I suppose to say?

I start getting the cans and stuff inside the paper bag as if I didn't heard her.

" Kevin?"

"Uhm, yeah. Sorry I didn't hear you, what is that?"

"I said where's Julie?", she crossed her arms as she look at me. Studying my sudden movements.

" Uhm, ah, she's not-", I stuttered.

"She's not yet here"

"What?! But I made it clear that she should be here before eleven", she raised her voice as she now pace the kitchen back and forth.

" Well, I-I'm sure there's -", I explained.

"She better should have one", she cut me off. Anger present in her tone.

Light bulb!

I look outside the window, it is still raining. I'll give it a try, then.

" I think they were just stuck in there. It's raining hard", I, kind of, lied. Ugh, I'll gonna regret this later.

"Yeah, I think you're right. I'm gonna go now. I need some sleep.", she said as she made her way to her bedroom.

" Okay, I'll call her after this. Goodnight"

"Goodnight"

After I place the goods in the cupboard, I decided to drink a tea.

I boil a water and get a cup. I place a tea bag (sweet camomile) in it and wait.

I go in the living room and put off the fire in the fireplace. I also get the empty cup I used a while ago.

I placed the two empty cups in the sink and get my duvet and the speaker then I went upstairs.

When I open the door to my room, cold air welcomes my body that makes me shiver.

I closed the door and plop down in my bed. I unlock my phone and open Twitter. Yeah, as you may not know, I follow the lads there. I'm also a fan.

I look at their tweets to get some hint where [the heck] are they or what are they doing. None.

After that, I look on some pictures of them. I saw some where they were going in the stadium for rehearsal. And, oh, then there's them with us when the visited the school.

I try to read some tweets about it, some good but most of it were hate tweets about them and, well, guess what, even me and Julie. I scroll and scroll through posts until one got my attention...

@LouisTommo_91

Is it just me or the one with glasses looks like Louis' father?

Together with the post comes a picture of me cropped then there's, I presume, a picture of Louis' father.

I can't actually see the familiarity since the picture is quite blurred. But whoever made this, they must have a very keen eye!

The thought of "family" flooded my mind. You know, for the past years I just shrug it off and continue but as I grew older they seems to, just, come back again.

I still remember when my mum gave me to one of my aunts back there in the Philippines. I was just about 10 years old that time. Since that day I haven't seen her again. I guess she hated me for some reason.

Then comes aunt Ellen. She's, actually, my mum's step sister. So should I call her step-aunt? It's quite confusing sometimes.

She asked me if I want to go here in the UK and I say yes! Who wouldn't want to go there? One of my mum's sister said my father lives here. But that's all I know. I've tried to ask aunt Ellen about it but she'll just change the topic.

It's almost midnight. I turn off the lights and open my lamp shade on the night table beside my bed. I text Julie before I sleep and dream of things that I wish were true.

There you go guys, a fresh new chapter. And did you see that coming? Well Kevin just reveal a part of his dark, no not dark, sad rather, past. It's just the start! Dun, dun, dun.

Love,
K
