How It Starts (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 10

I'm going to try to make the chapters longer. I haven't really been inspired to write lately it's like I'm being drained of my creativity. Sorry.

This story is going to temporarily suck until I can make the transition from imagine to story. Everything escalates pretty quickly in an imagine (hence the first few chapters) and a story takes it's time. By the way some of you will not like how this story turns out...but don't hate me please!

When I wake I don't see Jessica. I can't remember if she even slept here or not.

I put on shorts and a crop top. I'm starving and I need breakfast. I go down to breakfast and it's filled with guest. I help myself to the buffet line and sit alone in a corner. I sit in silence and people watch. Jess comes down with Amanda and she smirks at me. I want to scream at her. If she's told her about Louis and I, I will flip.

Amanda would be the worst person to tell. She'll blab to the entire school and then Ms. T would be the least of my worries. Even that isn't as bad as my parents finding out. My dad still thinks I have my innocence for crying out loud.

And Jessica. It's funny how your life can change so dramatically in such a quick time period. Days ago I had a best friend and no boyfriend, and now it's the opposite.

I finish breakfast and ignore the snickering I get when I pass their table. They're so childish.

The room seems different and I notice that Jessica's suitcase is gone.

I begin to pack my bag for our departure in a few hours. I feel empty. I'm missing my best friend and my boyfriend can't console me.

A few tears find their way from my eyes and I cry. I thought we were closer. This trip was disappointing.

I sit with Asia on the ride home and we barely talk. I know she knows why but she doesn't pry or annoy me with questions.

My mom is there to pick me up at the school. I ignore everyone hugging people goodbye and get into the car.

"What's wrong honey?" My mother's eyes knit together as she questions me.

"Nothing, I'm just tired." I turn my head to face the window and watch as Louis puts his bag in his trunk. He glances around as if he's looking for something or someone. I know it's me but it's not like we can kiss or embrace so I stay in the car.

He fails to find me and gets into the driver seat of the car. My mom pulls away before he does and I watch in the side view mirror as he disappears.

I immediately fall into my bed when I get home. So does my mom.

My dad is a doctor and my mom is a nurse. My sister is Jennifer Lawrence. The pressure for me to succeed is heavy.

My mind goes to the place of what if. What if they find out that Louis and I were doing on the trip? What if Ms. T tells them? What if Jessica does?

I'll probably kill her. She's ruined enough.

My parents will think that what we did will taint my reputation. Which is something I don't have. I'm someone's sister, not someone.

I drift to sleep shortly after thinking this. My dreams are of blue haze and blue eyes.

I wake to my alarm and reach for my phone. Considering, we arrived early this morning no one expects us to come to school. I turn the alarm off and toss the phone onto the bed.

Both of my parents have to work so I sleep until noon. When I wake I eat a granola and nutella covered banana. It's so good.

I browse through social media and Netflix until my phone vibrates with a message. On days like this Jessica and I would hang out or shop. I have to get used to not having a friend.
