The Tommo Way

Chapter Twelve: Twitter Feuds and Little Goblins

Hey guys, here is another update! This has taken me a little longer than I expected but I've taken on some extra shifts at work for a sick colleague of mine and I had a lot on my mind lately.
Thinking of the people of London and my family over there today, I hope everyone of you is doing well <3 Thank you all so much for reading, it's so great for me to see it :)
I hope you'll enjoy this next chapter, personally, I liked writing it a lot!

The next few days flew by and before I knew it, Wednesday had arrived. Lucy had survived her first two days at her new work and I had spent all my time at my desk, trying to get a grasp of what I was actually supposed to know for my exams. I don't know how she did it, but for some reason Lucy managed working and studying at the same time just fine. She was one of those really smart people that you try to hate but she was such a lovable person that it was nearly impossible to be jealous of her brains.

Louis and the lads had been in the studio writing for most of the time and I was trying to catch any detail of their new songs that I could possibly get, very unsuccessfully though. Louis and I had made plans for tonight and I couldn't wait to see him. I was in a great mood all day and when I closed my book at six thirty in the afternoon, I was quite proud of all the work that I had gotten done.

I sighed and leaned back in my desk chair with a happy smile on my face. Stretching my arms, I spun around on my chair and looked for my phone. With the intention of texting Lucy, I unlocked my phone and was greeted with a wave of Twitter notifications. Confused, I stared at the display and tried to figure out what had caused this spam. I scrolled down the notifications and with every word that I read, I felt my heart drop an inch deeper.

Most of the Tweets were about Louis and Zayn and it took me a while to get to the actual Tweets of Louis and Naughty Boy. It had all started out with a photo of Naughty Boy and Zayn with the caption "Replace this". Needlessly to say that it went pretty much downhill from there. As I flicked through Louis' and Naughty Boys back and forth, I was torn between horror and laughter. I couldn't help but grin at Louis' witty replies but at the same time I didn't understand how it had come to this.

Louis, being his usual straight-forward self, had commented "Remember when you were 12 and you used to think those Mac filters for your pictures were cool haha ! Some people still do HA!". Even though it was maybe a little too sassy, I shook my head in disbelief when I read Naughty Boys reply: "Louis Tomlinson and some people can't even sing.. but who's complaining when there's auto tune eh".

I quickly went through the other Tweets and my mood became worse by the minute. When I saw Zayn's interjection, I felt a sting in my chest: "Louis Tomlinson remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?" Even though there was obviously still bad blood between Zayn and the rest of the boys, I had never expected him to publicly attack Louis.

When I had finished reading the twitter quarrel, I sat at my desk and stared at my phone for a couple of minutes, my chin on my hand. Should I call Louis to see if he was even up for company after this unpleasant public exchange with Zayn? Would he even want to talk to anyone outside the band? Before I knew it, I had dialled Louis' number. The best way to deal with this, was to talk to him directly.

Louis picked up instantly but he sounded bitter and annoyed when he greeted me. "Hey love, what's up?" I bit my lip, unsure of how what to say. "Abby?" Louis asked again, sounding a little concerned at my lack of words. "I'm here" I said and stared down at my hands. "How are you doing?" I asked him, worriedly. Louis let out a bitter laugh. "So you've heard, eh?" He asked, quickly getting what I was hinting at. Nervously, I started drawing circles on the desk with my finger. "Yes, I'm sorry" I said quietly.
