Fate

Chapter 3

It annoyed me that Harry didn't really seem bothered about it but I felt stupid for actually thinking he would care. When I got back home my mum had come back from work and was making dinner. My mum didn't even know Louis was my boyfriend so there was no point in telling her we'd split up.

It took everything inside of me to try and keep a straight face at dinner and not cry. Everyone was silent which was a change. All I could hear was cutlery scraping on plates which made the silence even worse.

"You're all quiet today, did you all have a good day?" My mum asked me and my brothers. I purposefully avoided eye contact with Joe.

"I'm just tired that's all, busy day at the gym" Andy said, I was glad he said something as I didn't feel like talking.

I had completely lost my appetite and all I could think of was that me and Louis were meant to be watching movies but I was sitting at a table with my family without him. I pushed my food around my plate, I didn't want to eat I just wanted Louis.

I spent the rest of the evening in my room. I didn't want to speak to anyone but Louis. I tried calling Louis but he didn't answer. I didn't think he'd answer me but I hoped he would. I texted him instead:

*Please ring me we really need to talk about this x*

I kept checking my phone every few minutes but nothing flashed up on my screen.

I cried myself to sleep I hated my life so much. I thought to myself why do I have to have such a fucking idiot as a brother who ruins everything for me.

Then I thought about how as he was the oldest he was trying to be a father figure in my life since my dad passed away 5 years ago. Thinking of my dad made me cry even harder, I missed him so much. I would do anything to have him back. I was always his favourite as I was the only girl.

I put on extra makeup in the morning to hide my red eyes. I usually would stop by Harry's house and walk with him to school but I was still upset about what he had said the night before. I had just walked past his house when I heard someone calling my name.

"Lexy wait, I'm sorry please" Harry said and I walked faster.

He ran to catch up with me so I walked faster. His long legs made him pretty quick and he caught up with me in no time.

"I'm sorry for what I said, I was tired I know that's not a good excuse but" Harry said

I interrupted him by saying "Yeah it's not a good excuse for someone who sleeps all day"

He looked right into my eyes I could see his green eyes were filled with guilt and I had a bad enough previous day that I didn't want to ruin anymore relationships with anyone.

"It's fine" I said and his eyes lit up.

"Really" he sounded surprised as I wasn't usually one to give in to things.

I went straight to form which I was dreading as I was in the same form as Niall Louis' best friend. I liked Niall but I knew that it would be awkward with everything that had happened.

"Hey" Niall greeted me.

"Hi" was all I said back.

The teacher took the register and then I sat there in silence. Everyone else in the room was talking, probably about the great weekends they all had. But me and Niall didn't really speak to the rest of the form, we just stuck together.

Niall finally spoke up and said "I'm sorry about Louis well you know the break up. I hope you're alright."

He brought up the one thing I didn't want to speak to him about. If I said anything to him I knew that he'd tell Louis as they were so close.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I lied.

"Well I know you probably don't want to speak to me about it but you can. Well if you want to" he genuinely looked sad but I didn't really want to tell him anything.

"What has Louis told you?" I asked Niall.

"Not much really. He mentioned something about your brother."

The bell rang which meant form had ended and Niall walked swiftly out of the door before I could ask him anything else.

In the distance I could see Niall walk over to Louis in the hallway and they went off to their first lesson. Louis looked perfect as always and not like someone who had just split up with their girlfriend. He would have usually waited for me not Niall and he would walk me to my lesson. Everything could have been the same if it wasn't for my brother. I hated him so much for what he had done. I knew that Harry said he was only looking out for me but f he was really looking out for me he would have been supportive.

"I'm sorry to hear about you and Louis" Charlie said to me during business.

"It's fine" I said back to her in a monotone voice.

"You should have called me, I would have made you feel better" Charlie said a bit too loud which made out teacher stare at us.

"I was fine" I whispered.

"No you weren't Joe said you were crying in the middle of the night" I was confused at how she knew that and I didn't know I was crying that loud.

"How do you know that"

"Girls be quiet" the teacher said to us.

I glared at Charlie until she finally answered "he texted me"

"Since when are you texting my brother talking about me. How did you even get his number?" I was angry at her for texting Joe I knew they had always liked each other but I would never want them to go out.

She looked worried which annoyed me more as I knew the answer would be something I wasn't going to like. "A few months maybe a year"

"What, and you never thought to tell me"

"That's it, Alexandra get up and sit in the corner. I will be taking to you and Charlotte at the end." My teacher shouted.

I was kinda happy that I was getting away from Charlie as I was annoyed at the new information she had just told me. Mr David had always hated me as he used to teach Joe and he hated him.

"I am not happy about your constant talking in class. You both will be staying tonight for an hours detention with me" he smiled smugly which made me want to flip his stupid laptop of the desk.

So I finally made a cover what do you all think of it??
