Loving, Breaking, Haunting, Reborn

Chapter 6 (Edited)

Jessica's POV

After I awkwardly left the room I went back downstairs to wait for the girls. I went over to the counter and picked up my phone.

~1 new message~

I checked with the girls and they said they'll be over ASAP! can't wait! see ya soon!~Lauren

I smiled and quickly texted my reply.

See ya soon!~Jess

I clicked out of my messages and put my phone onto sleep mode. than I walked back into the kitchen and sat back on my bar stool.

I picked up my cup of tea and took a nice long sip. my mom turned around and smiled.

"So what did he want to ask you?" she said leaning against the counter top.

I rolled my eyes at her and laughed. "You already know!"

She stood up tall and put her hands on her hips."i do not" I raised an eyebrow at her. "ok maybe I might have guessed." I laughed. she eased up and leaned back against the counter."so what did he ask?"

I decided to be nice and go along with it and act like she didn't already know what was going on. "Louis asked me to prom." I said taking another sip of my tea.

A smile spread across her face. "really?! and what did you say?" she asked this time she didn't know what I was going to say.

"I said yes." I said calmly taking another sip of my tea.

I heard her let out a small scream and I looked up to see her jumping up and down.

Wow my mom really needs a life!

Like really bad....

I laughed. "mom were just going as friends." I stated rolling my eyes at her.

She stopped and laughed. "well it's better than no going at all. senior prom will be great sweetie. And all your friends are going. I don't understand why you didn't want to go." she leaned against the counter once more.

"Well I didn't have someone to go with while my friends all have dates to go and a couple minutes ago I didn't."

She nodded. "how's the tea?"

I laughed at her random change of subject. "good... and you might want to make Louis some."

"Why?" she asked standing up straight.

"Cause he's a big tea drinker." I stated as I took a sip.

She gasped and turned around to grab the kettle and add some water to it. she popped the top off and ran to the sink.

I laughed as I watched her hurriedly made some hot water for his tea. I heard laughter behind me and I turned to see Louis.

"What's she doing that's she's being so rushed?" he asked. he walked over and sat at the bar stool next to me.

"Making some hot water for your tea." I stated takin another small sip.

He let out a low chuckle and I couldn't help but begin to laugh alone with him. soon we were both clutching our stomachs laughing.

I don't know why but when I looked at him laughing I couldn't help but laugh too. it was like it was contagious.

By the time we had calmed down my mom had just set a cup in front of Louis. "Thanks." he said picking it up and blowing on it a bit.

"You're welcome." she said flashing a smile

Sometime so wondered if she liked him more than I did and wanted him for herself. but she was too old compared to him so she probably wanted to make me happy.
