What If? {Louis Tomlinson Fan Fic}

Chapter 25 - The Other Side

-Roxy's POV-

I woke up in a familiar room, it's my bedroom at home. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. This girl looked tired, I took out some make-up smudge wipes and wiped off my make-up from yesterday. I applied more eye-liner and mascara and added a light pink blush. I brushed my wavy hair and put it up in a ponytail. I decided to wear some navy blue skinny jeans and my grey t-shirt that says "life is about creating yourself." I smiled in the mirror and went downstairs to smell something cooking downstairs.

I went down the green stairs and made my way to the kitchen. I saw my grandma with an apron on sitting down at the kitchen table,

"Good morning Roxy."

She smiled at me and took out some chocolate chip cookies out of the oven and then chocolate muffins.

"Are you hungry? I made your favourite muffins!"

She said and showed me the pan, I smiled admiring the way that she was trying to make me feel at home,

"Yeah, it's great thanks."

I said and sat down while she poured me a glass of milk, I grabbed two muffins and teared one apart and started eating the bottom of the muffin first.

"What are those on your wrist?"

She took my wrist and examined the stitches,

"Oh, I just scrapped my arm."

I lied as I kept eating my muffin.
I know I should have told her the truth but if I did, she would have forced me to come back here and be even more depressed.

"Did Louis do this to you?"

She asked me and sat down across from me,

"No. He didn't. I was with some of the girls down there and we went hiking and we had a break near this really big tree and I leaned on it but then I fell and scraped my arm on it. I didn't think it was serious but the blood kept gushing out so the girls brought me to the hospital and they stitched my wrist up."

I couldn't stand lying to her. I was bad at it and its something I never liked to do.

"Oh, well I hope you wrist gets better."

She laughed a bit and continued,

"I can't believe your actually hiking down there and you were so afraid to even take one step out of the door when you lived here."

I laughed along with her sarcasm to cover up my lie,

"Yup, I've changed for the better."

The better liar? I think so.

"I forgot to mention that your brother is going to be home soon. He went out last night with the guys."

I smiled, how long has it been since I've seen Roger?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was now helping my grandma with super. I was cutting the carrots while she was peeling potatoes.

The door opened and there he was,

"Roger."

Jem hugged him as he brought his bags inside,

"I was just gone for one night Jem."

He laughed,

"One night is too long for me."

She said and took his bags,

"Roxy... What are you doing home? Did you quit your big dreams of being a 'super star'? Did Louis play you? I knew it!"
