Our Chemical Direction

Chapter 3: The First Date

{Thorn's POV}

I hugged Liam and whispered a thank you into his ear. He managed to get me ready in only 20 minutes. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I wanted to get a small drink to calm my nerves, but i didnt want to smell like alcohol. Louis walked into the kitchen and smiled when he saw me. "Hi, Thorn." he grinned. I waved and he held out his arm, gesturing me to link my arm with his. I did so and we started skipping through the house, and to the front door.

It only took us a few minutes to get to the little resaurant we were going to have dinner at.

"So, Thorn, could you write to me about yourself?" Louis asked, smiling. I shook my head no. "Oh." he sighed. "Because I could just tell you" I explained. Louis looked surprised. "You can talk?" he quietly yelled. I nodded my head and smiled. He smiled right back at me and gestured me to talk.

"Um, I'm from Belleville, NJ. I like bands like Gerard's. I was abused as a child and was still abused until Gerard adopted me. I also do not like boy bands. Sorry." I shrugged. "That's fine, that's your opinion" he smiled. "You can like whatever you want. I just hope that your opinion of boy bands doesnt make you dislike me or the boys."

"Oh, I dont judge." I sighed. "Good."

The rest of the night went by fast. It felt like barely a minute had past, but in reality it was an hour. 

I laughed as Lou told me a story about him and Harry hiding from fans. "Why a girl's store?" I asked. "It was the closest. It was hard enough losing them right then, but if we waited we wouldnt have been able to shake them."  he defended. "So do you have any stories about Romance?" he questioned. I raised an eyebrow. "Well one time a girl walked up to Gee and said that the only person he was allowed to marry was her or Frankie. But you dont know who Frankie is." I sighed. He frowned, but wouldnt say anything because he knew that i was right. 

"Im sorry, I just dont really remember names too well and i have a low attention span sometimes." he apologized. "Its whatever." I lied. I mean, I was going to be upset. Frankie is my family, so he deserves respect. Lou needs to learn everyones names. "Well, Im gonna head to bed." he whispered, standing up. I nodded and walked into the bathroom as he left. 

I stripped down, filling the tub up with hot water. I cringed as my cold, pale skin grazed the surface. I slowly dipped my feet in, getting used to the temperature. 

I soon got all the way in, enjoying the steam. I closed my eyes and relaxed. Suddenly, the door opened. Louis ran in, seeing me. "Oh god, I didnt know you were in here!" he yelled. "Your dad just told me to get your hairbrush and I- I- I just walked in to this." he panicked. "Calm down. After you give my brush to Gee, could you rub my back?" I murmured, trying not to let him make me tense. "Uh, sure?" he asked, more than answered. "The brush is in the top drawer." I sighed, staying right where I was. I heard him grab the brush and run it to Gee. Then he came back. "So, are you gonna get dressed so I can rub your back?" he asked. I groaned and stood up, grabbing the blue towel off of the counter. "Im just gonna wear pajamas." I muttered. He nodded. "Dont you care about me seeing you with no clothes?" he asked. "Im just too tired to care right now." I whispered, collapsing onto the bed. 

He nodded and sat beside me. His hands felt just right against my skin. His hands worked so perfectly, calming and soothing me instantly. "I like you Louis." I moaned in happiness. I eventually fell asleep to Louis's gorgeous hands on my back.

I watched as Thorn's chest rose and fell. She looked so beautiful in the pale moonlight, streaming in from her window. "I like you too, Thorn." I whispered, knowing she was asleep. I smiled at her precious smile, still rubbing her back. "You mean a lot to me, even though I just met you." I sighed. Why do I have to get so attatched so easily?
