Starting Over (Being Edited)

Chapter 21 - Us

Louis' P.O.V

            I still couldn't believe it. I thought I knew who my sister was, but I feel that everything I know about her isn't true anymore.

            "What's wrong, Lou?" Kayleigh asks, coming up from behind me.

            "Nothing," I sigh, "I just don't understand."

            "Me either. I feel like everything Kevin's ever told me was a lie. I'm just, I don't know, confused." Kayleigh groans, pulling a seat up beside me. I take her hand, and look up into her eyes.

            "We're in the same boat here, Kayls, we'll get through it together."

            "What else can we do?" She sighs, looking out the window. Silence fills the kitchen, as we're the only ones awake.

            "Are we going to visit Liam today?" Kayleigh asks. A smile breaks out onto my face. "What?" She laughs.

            "You said 'are WE'..." I say, the smile still growing on my face.

            "Yeah...did I use the wrong grammar or something?" She questions with a confused look on her face.

            "No, no,no," I mumble. "We, as in us, as in, we're together, we're one." I say shyly.

            "Well obviously, Louis! I thought the entire reason I came back with you was because you 'needed' me." Kayleigh teases.

            "I do." I whisper, wrapping my arms around her. "And I always will."

            "D'awwwwwwww LOUIS! That's scho cute!" Harry's voice pipes up.

            "Oh shut it Harold." I snap jokingly, while Kayleigh's adorable laugh echoes throughout the room.

            "You two better be quiet," Harry warns, "Or you'll wake the two lovebirds upstairs."

            "WHAT?!?" Kayleigh and I both exclaim as we sprint up the stairs.

            "Oops..." Harry mumbles, biting off  a piece of toast and heading out the door. I barge into Sofia's room, and sure enough, there lie her and Kevin, intertwined in the sheets.

            "What's going on here!?!" Kayleigh and I shout while I yank Sofia out of the bed by her hair, and Kayleigh drags Kevin onto the floor.

            "Ow, bloody hell, Lou! What's your problem?" Sofia shouts, pushing herself away from me.

            "Problem? This is my problem!" I try to refrain from exploding, "You two...sleeping together? When Kevin was clearly asleep on the couch last night when I went to bed!"

            "But...but, you and Kayleigh stay in the same room!" Sofia protests.

            "No, actually, we don't." Kayleigh interrupts. "Kath is actually kind enough to let me sleep on the floor in her room."

            "I...I...I didn't...I thought.." Sofia mumbles.

            "Well you thought wrong." I say intensely. I glare over at Kevin, who looks as if he'd rather be anywhere else in the world than here.

            "Sorry guys." He apologizes quietly.

            "Just stay on the couch from now on." Kayleigh groans, hitting Kevin in the arm on her way out of the room.
