Being Louis (Zouis)

Chapter 13

"Mum?" It was my own mother. She had finally come back after so long.

"Wha- what are you doing here?"

"In Doncaster." She stands up and walks over to me.

"I came back for you, Zayn."

"Wher-where's Dad?"

"They picked him up. He got into some fight in the pub. He won't be back for a while." I walk over and hug my mum really tight. It was finally over, all of the hurt, and mum was back.

"So, where are the girls?"

"Girls?"

"Zayn!" I hear in unison. I turn around and see Doniya, Safaa, and Walihya all coming towards me.

"I haven't seen you guys in forever! I hug them and tear up.

So, this is what family feels like.

-Louis

My phone buzzes as soon as we get in from the store. I pick it up and see that it's from Zayn.

From: Zayn<3

I have good news!

To:Zayn<3

What's the good news?!!

From Zayn<3:

dad's gone and my mum and sisters are home! It's been sooooo long!

To: Zayn<3

Oh babe! That's great! Even though it's been like 12 hours, I miss you.xxx

From:Zayn<3

If you miss me so much just look out your window.xxxx

I put my phone down and open the curtains to reveal Zayn waving at me with a smile.

"Come outside." I nod and walk outside. Zayn meets me halfway and picks me up.

"You're so silly, Zayn!" I laugh and grab his face to kiss him. He puts me down and we start to walk.

"How's your day been?" Zayn looks over to me as he grabs my hand and intertwines them with his.

"I went shopping with my Dad and some dude was hitting on me but the worst part was he kept saying forget about your boyfriend, he doesn't have to know." I look up to Zayn and he looks a bit worried mixed with anger.

"He goes to Oakland Woods with us but I've never seen him before. He grabbed my waist too." Zayn stopped walking and turned to me.

"Babe, I don't want anyone taking you away from me. If they do, they would have to go through me." He smiles and leans in. I close the gap and kiss him, I wrap my arms around his neck.

This couldn't get any better.

"Get off my lawn, you stupid youngsters!" Mr. Dennis starts to spray us with the hose.

"Good to see you again, sir!" Zayn grabs my hand and we run away from his house. 

"What's his problem?"

"He hates children or anything that breathes, he's like an all around Scrooge." We look at each other's wet hair and clothes and start to laugh.

"I didn't think it would rain until April."

"I guess this is good night, Mr. Malik?" He smiles and kisses my cheek.

"Don't miss me too much, I'm coming to get you tomorrow anyways. We have school remember?"

"Bye, Zayn" He pecks my lips then I walk through the door and close it behind me. I see Dad sitting in the couch bouncing Niall on his lap. He looks over and sees how wet I am.

"Mr. Dennis turned the hose on you?" I nod and he just laughs.

"I remember him turning the hose on Alice and I when she was pregnant with you." I laugh with him then take off my wet shoes.

"Go get dry or your clothes will be ruined."

"Okay, Dad."

-Zayn

I walk in the house and see Mum sitting down drinking tea and reading a magazine while my sisters watching tv in the living room. She looks up and fixes her glasses.

"Zaynie, why are you all wet?" I look up and sigh.

"Nothing, I was just with Louis and the sprinklers went off." I laugh a little.

"Who's Louis? Your friend?" Doniya looks from the telly to my direction.

"Maybe it's his boyfriend! Zaynie's got a crush." Safaa gets up and runs towards me then starts poking me in my stomach.

"Whatever." I walk past them and go upstairs to change my clothes. Walihya comes in my room and sits on my bed.

"What do you want?" I close my closet door and look at her.

"Is it true?" I sit down with her and give her a confused look.

"What do you mean?" She crosses her arms and gives me a look.

"You know what I mean! Is this Louis guy, you know, your boyfriend?" I look around and nod.

"Yeah. But you can't tell Mum!" I put both of my hands on her shoulders.

"Okay, okay." She heads towards the door then stops.

"You're gonna show me around Oakland tomorrow, right?" I hit my hand on my forehead and curse under my breath.

"I totally forgot you were going to start going to my school."

"Wow, thanks. But will you?"

"Yeah, I'm sure it will be fun." She smiles and lays her head on the door frame.

"Tomorrow will be a new beginning. For everyone!" We both laugh.

Tomorrow will be interesting, I guess.
