Light One Up

Chapter 6

LOUIS' P.O.V.:

Well, turns out a lot of people in school liked Cale and Char. It's been a rough three days. People, in a way, were giving me a taste of my own medicine. Just today, Friday, I came home with a black eye, bloody nose, and busted lip. It's the worst I've ever been from a fight.

This is why I was not looking forward to Monday.

Cale's mum left their house a few days after Char and her left, Mum made everyone go over and meet the lady that moved in, the boys were over that day though so they came too.

The lady was nice, I guess. Had a bit of an attitude if you asked me. She was a bit short, maybe around 5'6, I know, only three inches shorter than me but still! She has blonde hair just past her shoulders and bright, dark blue eyes. She has a keenest interest in animals. She owns 5 cats, 2 dogs, 9 fish, a guinea pig, and I'm pretty sure she said she was getting a horse. Like seriously girl! Chill out with the animals! Harry was drooling over her though. Yeah, she has a pretty face, and a curvy body, but Cale is better- WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!?! Besides, she's more Harry's age, she's 18. Left her home as soon as she could. I think she said her name is Destiny too, and she'll be starting at my school Monday.

Right now it's Saturday and I was holding an ice pack over my face... my whole face. I decided it would be a good idea to go to the skate park. It wasn't a good idea. One of the jocks from school who like Cale and Char was there, as soon as he saw me he smashed my face with his board. That hurt like a bitch! The guys were sitting around me on the couch, playing FIFA. Harry was no where to be found, he wouldn't reply to our texts.

I got up and put the ice away, being careful not to strain my pained face. I got back to the living room and the guys tried hard not to look horrified at my face. That's when Harry dedicded to waltz in, a big grin on his face. When he sees me he frowns.

"What's up with your face?" he asked. I groaned and flung my head back.

"Ya know the jock from school?" Liam asked.

" Edward Fitzgerald?" Harry asked, nodding.

"Ya, he bashed Lou with his board," Liam said. Harry winced then broke out in a big smile again.

"Why 'er you so happy-smiley?" Zayn chuckled at Harry.

"I was with Des all day," Harry sat down next to me. Did I mention he got Destiny's number while we were there? No? Well he did. He spent all last night texting her, then this morning he disappeared.

"So?" Niall trailed off," it's not like we weren't expecting that."

"I asked her on a proper date," Harry said.

"And?" Zayn trailed off.

"She said yes!" Harry cheered. We all broke out in smiles, she seemed like a good girl for him. Let's hope she's not like the rest who left him and broke his heart and himself.

Monday came too fast for my liking. I still have the black eye, my lip healed, thank god. But my entire face was darkened with a bruise.

I sighed at my reflection in the mirror.

"C'mon Lou! or we'll be late!" Harry shouted up. Him and Destiny went on their date Saturday night, and he had another planned for Wednesday. Harry was gonna make Des skip. She didn't seem like the kind of girl that would though, so I give Harry my luck.

I walked down the stairs and grabbed my bag. Liam, Zayn, and Niall were already in our big, black pickup truck. Harry and I climbed in, me driving.

We got to school and Harry jumped out of the truck, he was really anxious the entire drive. He looked around for a bit before he saw Des, then immediately went in her direction. I smirked at him, he was so whipped.
