Bad Influence

37

I landed in Sheffield around five in the afternoon. I knew my mum was waiting to yell at me. But I hoped Louis were not coming. I could not handle meeting him right now. He must be so disappointed in me. I could handle my dad, Cindi, Mark and mum, but no fucking way I could handle Louis. I took a few deep breaths before I walked out. And there they stood. My mum and Louis. Louis looked different. Thinner than before, and I could see he had a black eye. I wondered why. "There she is." Mum said and pointed to me. I got my stuff and walked over to them. "Angel." Mum said. "Hey." I said. I did not know what to expect. Would she hug me or not? My question got answered when she pulled me in for a hug. I hugged her back before I turned to Louis. "You're such and idiot." He told med before he pulled me in for a hug. Louis held me tight. "I've missed you." I said as I hugged him back. "And I you." Louis said before he pulled away. "So you're not disappointed or mad?" I asked. "Oh hell yeah I'm disappointed and mad. But I miss you, and I love you. And you'll be getting help and everything will be alright." Louis said. "I never planned for this to happen." I said. Louis smiled a little. "I know Angel, I know. But it did, and now you're a mess. but it will be alright." Louis said and hugged me again. "We better head home. You'll stay home with us until tomorrow. That is when you're going to Life Work Community for a month and we'll see if that helps you. If not you'll have to stay longer." Mum said. I looked at her. "Tomorrow?" I asked. She nodded. "I was kind of hoping to go see my friends back here." I said. Mum shook her head. "You'll see them when you get back into school." She said before she walked to the car.

I fell onto my old bed back in my old bedroom. The picture of me and Liam on my fifteenth birthday was still standing on my night side table. I looked over to the bookshelf. The album I got from Liam for Christmas were still there. I sighed. I should have thrown out these things when I had a chance. Speaking of chance. I was alone, my mum had told me to stay in my room. I had a room on the first floor and I had snuck out before. It was easy. I got up form the bed and put the pillows and Louis's old football on my bed so it looked like I was sleeping there. I placed a blonde wig on the football. I stepped back and looked at my work. "This has to work." I said before I opened the window and jumped out. I carefully closed the window after med before I got out of our driveway and on to the road. "Where to first?" I asked my self. That was when I passed Brad's house. I smiled and stopped. I nodded to myself before I walked over and rang the doorbell. I patiently waited for someone to open. "Angel?" Brad asked as soon as he saw me standing there. "Hey Brad." I said before he pulled me into a hug. "You're really here. Why?" He asked as soon as he let me go. "Can I come inside? It's kind off a long story." Brad nodded as he let me in. He led the way down to his room. His room had not changed a lot. I smiled as I sat down at his bed. "Spill the beans Girly." Brad said. I smiled a little. "My dad found out about my job, my drinking and my smoking problem." I said. "Shit." Brad said. I nodded. "Yeah, tell me about it. So they shipped me home and I'm leaving for rehab tomorrow before I get back into school." I said. "School?" Brad asked. I nodded. I could see Brad had a stange ekspression on his face. "Witch rehab are you going to?" Brad asked. I could tell he was trying to change the subject. "I don't remember. Some country side in Surrey." I said. Brad nodded. "Do you need any stuff? Before you leave or for when you get back?" Brad asked. "Well, yeah. They took all my shit." I said. Brad nodded and got up. I looked around his room. It still looked they same, maybe a bit more messy. The weird thing about Brad is that he threw his stuff everywhere but the bin. "Here you go. I got it from Mikey." Brad said and threw me a package. I smiled. "You're a lifesaver Brad." I said. He smiled. "Tell me if you need more." He said. I nodded and got up. "I better get going. But it was good seeing you." I said and gave him another hug. Brad held me tight, like it was the last hug he would get from me.

I walked straight to Nicole's house. She needed to know why I was back, why I was going away and why I had cut her out of my life. I missed her, I truly did. I knocked on her window well aware that she might not even answer.  The curtains got pulled aside and there she stod. Nikki. I looked at her and gave her a little smile. She rolled her eyes and opened the window. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "Let me in and I tell you." I told her. Nicole moved aside so I could climb in. Nicole looked at me as I closed the window and too a seat. "Alright, spill the beans." She said. "Alright. I'm so sorry for cutting you out, I never meant to. It just happened. But you need to know that I have problems. Big problems. I started to drink in Paris, and at one party this guy called Donny asked me if I wanted to try this thing. And I tried it, and it was amazing. But then my dad found Donny half naked in my room one day and I got busted. He found out about me not going to school, that I was drunk most of the time, that I worked as a stripper and that I smoked weed. So they shipped me back here and now I'm going to rehab." I explained. "WHAT?!" Nicole yelled. "I'm sorry. I just need you not to be mad at me and be my best friend again. I need you before I'm going back to school where I'll have Brad and Louis with me. But I need you." I said. Nicole looked at me. Something about her expression made me worried. "What is it Nikki?" I asked. "Louis has not  said anything? Or Brad?" She asked. "About what?" I asked. "It's better if you ask Louis." Nicole said. I nodded. "So we're good?" I asked. Nicole smiled. "Of course we are." She told me.
