Chapter 16: "You felt that?"

Live While We're Young-One Direction

Jill's P.O.V:

I laugh softly as I watch the version of my myself that I could hardly remember.
"Your mother and I both walked around with cameras hanging from our necks for months." Father smiles. "We had taken you to see the doctor so many times, we seriously thought you would never walk. You hardly even crawled-oh turn it up-here it is- you watching?"

"Yes father." I smile. At his eagerness. I watch my chubby self stand up and walk. "Elena look!" I hear fathers voice coming from the telly. Mothers squealing follows shortly after.

"Little did we know that all we had to do was take away that teddy from you." Father says as I watch my little self grab Tingle. Tingle is my teddy whom I've had forever. He had a little bell at the end of his sleepy cap which jingled and tingled that's how he got his name. I was a tot when I named him and not at all creative. I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. Ellie.

"Hey."

"Hey I've texted you like 5 times."

"Sorry Ellie, I was with my father."

"It's okay I know how you can make it up to me."

"Ellie."

"Come out tonight please pleeeeeeaaase!"

"Ellie I told you-"

"Please please come on. You've been here 3 weeks now and only went out once."

"Yeah and look how well that turned out for me." I roll my eyes even though she can't see me.

"Come on it's Friday. It'll be fun tonight please? Pleeeeaase??"

"Okay okay." I sigh in defeat. Eleanor could sell ice to an Eskimo.

"Yay!!" She squeals and I laugh. "Lou and I will fetch you in an hour."

"Alright, let me go get ready then."

"Bye bubs."

"See you in a bit." I hang up.

"Father, I'm going out with Ellie just now. I promise I won't be out late." I tell father as I walk into the back into the lounge.

"Oh alright then. Take care of yourself and ring me if you need anything."

"I'll be alright father." I smile at him walking away.

I wear my white sleeveless Stussy and black skinny pants. Deciding to go very light on my make up. I don't feel like going out at all, so eyeliner, a coat of mascara and clear gloss will do. I put on my white heels and decide to leave my hair natural, ruffling it out a bit. I check my phone for messages Louis and Ellie should have been here by now. I shrug sliding my phone into my pocket and going downstairs. I feel a cool breeze as I stand in the foyer. Getting bored I walk outside taking a seat on the steps. The weather is lovely tonight. I look up at the stars. Thinking of Nate. We used to look at the stars every night when I was in Australia. Since then the stars always remind me of him. Looking at them always made me feel closer to him. They always calmed me down. He always calmed me down. The sound of a car engine breaks me from my thoughts. I lay my eyes on the moving car blinking twice. There must be something wrong. What is he doing here now.
"My grandfathers not here." I tell Harry remaining seated.

"I'm here for you. Now get in."

"What?"

"Yeah Ellie got there without Lou and Lou forgot to pick you up on his way there. So here I am." He looks at me from the window of his car.
