My Hope (Louis Tomlinson FanFic) *Completed*

Chapter 21

*Louis' POV*

       "Finally!" I screamed, falling onto my knees on the pavement. After being on the bus for two days, regardless of how much I like the bus, I was looking forward to being able to sleep in an actual bed once we get to the hotel.

       Kayla rolled her eyes at me as she got off the bus for the first time since we went to the restaurant. Her father was locked up, sent to trial, and found guilty of child abuse. He was sent to 15 years in prison, relieving me and the boys greatly. The sooner and longer he is locked up, the safer and less dramatic our lives could be.

       Makes it easier for me to be with Kayla, as well.

       "Oh, come on, Lou! It's not that bad!" Niall said, clapping me on the shoulder. I just groaned and fell down onto the pavement completely, laying on my stomach. I felt a foot on my back.

       "I HAVE DEFEATED THE ALMIGHTLY LOUIS TOMLINSON!" Zayn yelled, sticking his arm up in the air as if in a superhero position. He looked at a giggling Kayla. "Gasp! The fair Maiden must be rescued!" he yelled, running towards her. She shrieked a bit and tried to run as he scooped her up in his arms bridal style.

       "THE WARLOCK HAS THE PRINCESS!" Niall yelled as he and Harry ran towards Zayn, chasing him and a laughing Kayla.

       I value these moments, the moments where I get to see so much joy on Kayla's face. This is the happiest we've seen her in a long time. All her worries are gone for the most part, her father locked up, she has a place to stay, life is good. The only problem we have is the fans. We don't want to hide her, so we're trying to slowly ease Kayla into our situation. Her leaving the bus today was the first step.

       She even has started to slowly smile bigger smiles than her little 'Kayla Smiles,' which, regardless of how much I love those little smiles, I love seeing her face light up when she smiles as well.

       "Okay, okay! Boys!" Paul called, climbing out of the van which he had ridden in. We all stopped acting up, Kayla being held up in the middle of Zayn and Niall. They quickly let her down to her feet, her face flushing. "Room arrangements! Okay, Harry and Zayn, Niall and Louis, Liam and Kayla."

       I frowned a bit. I was sort of hoping I would have roomed with Kayla. Then again, Liam is her 'father.'

       "Okay, you guys have a show tonight. You have sound check in two hours. You can grab food and perhaps some sleep before I'll be here with Jack to pick you guys up," Paul explains.

We all nodded before grabbing our bags. I saw Kayla walking off to grab hers, so I ran over and swooped up her bags in my arms, sticking my tongue out at her. She rolled her eyes and tried to grab the bag from me, but I dodged her, running and grabbing mine as well before running into the hotel room. I could hear her footsteps behind me.

I got in the elevator, closing the doors before Kayla could get in. She stuck her tongue out at me in return and started climbing the stairs.

"HA!" I yelled in victory as I got up to the 4th floor, where we would be staying. Kayla finally appeared at the top of the stairs, her hands on her knees as she gasped for breath.

She looked up to where I was standing in front of her room, rolling her eyes. I chuckled and walked up to her, kissing her cheek before walking to my room.

I just felt like carrying her stuff. Don't judge me.

-That Afternoon-

"Hey lads, anyone wanna go to get some coffee with me?" I asked them as I walked into Liam and Kayla's room. Everyone for some reason wanted to meet up here. Granted, they do have a great room.
