Save You Tonight

Chapter Fourteen

I woke up with Louis beside me. It was weird how he was so nice. The only person I ever trusted was Kate, and here I found myself trusting Louis. I eased out of bed and walked downstairs to find Kate reading the paper and drinking coffee. As I walked in she looked up. "Morning. How did you sleep?" "Well not that bad." She smiled, "That's good." I sat down beside her.

"Kate, what happened to your family?" She looked at me for a second and put her coffee down and sat up straight. "Well, we use to live in the upper part of London. We had lots of family there...it was really nice. Anyway, my brother, Kim, hated it there. He decided he wanted to be closer to the heart of London. He opened a store, Kims Clothing, where I work now. I always looked up to him so I asked if I could live with him. Mom let me and I moved in with him. He taught me the ins and outs of owning a store and before long it was very popular. Well one day we were on our way to work when mom called. She said that our dad was sick, very sick. Kim wanted to go see dad so bad but didn't want to leave the store. I thought it was nothing serious so I told him I would stay and watch the store. He went home and next thing I knew dad passed away. He came back but wasn't the same. He was so depressed. He told me he would give me the store, that he didn't want it. Then he left... I haven't seen him since then. And I haven't talked to my mom either." "Why not?" I asked. "I don't think she wants to talk to me." "Maybe you should try to call her." Kate smiled. "Maybe I should."

"Morning Ladies." Louis walked down the stairs already dressed. "Morning." "How about we go out to eat for breakfast?" he asked. Kate looked at her watch. "Actually I have to go, but you two can go eat." She smiled. How was she so happy even with that bad of a past? "Ok, you sure?" Louis asked her. "Yea, I have a business to run." He nodded. "Well you want to go?" I nodded and went to go get dressed.

"I'll have bacon with eggs and toast," he told the waitress. She nodded with a smile then turned to me, "And for you ma'am?" "Pancakes, please." She nodded and walked away.

"Alright so what should we do today?" "I don't know. I think I should go back to work though." "Oh yea, work. Well I guess I probably should too." "Wait where do you work?" "Well, right now I'm a DJ." "You're kiding. That's awesome." I smiled at him and he smiled back. "Yea, well it's not my dream though." "What's your dream?" "Ok dont' laugh but I want to be a singer." "A singer? Cool." "Yea, we're hoping to get a break on the X-Factor." "We're?" "Yea, me and Harry and Liam and Niall and Zayn." "They sing?" I honestly was a bit surprised. "Yea, and they aren't half bad...well I''m the best." He said sarcastically. I shook my head and laughed. "Well, I would love to hear you guess sing one day." I said as we got our food.

"Alright where to?" "Well I have someone I want you to meet." "Ok?"  "I think you will like her." "Her?" He laughed, "Don't worry." I sat back and waited. We finally pulled up to a nice sized house. He got out and opened my door and we walked up to the door. He knocked and a pretty older lady opened the door. "Louis, honey, how are you?" She hugged him and then smiled at him. "Louis, is this that girl you were tal-" "Ok mom." He laughed nervously. "Can we come in?" She nodded and let us in.

"Jessy, this is my mom. Mom this is Jessy." I smiled at her "Hi." "Hi dear." "Where's Lottie?" Just as he asked a younger girl... 14 or 16 walked in. "Louis!" She squeked and ran into his arms. He hugged her then turned to me. "Lottie, this is Jessy. Jessy, this is my sister Lottie." Sister? "Um, hi." "Hey." Louis phone rang. "Oh I have to take this." He smiled at me and walked to the next room. "So your Louis girlfriend?" "Um no. We are just friend." I smiled at her. "He talks about you all the time." His mom told me. I just stared at her. He talks about me? I smiled. "Do you like him?" Lottie asked. Before I could answer Louis walked back in.

"We have to leave." He told them. "Oh ok baby. Be safe." He smiled and nodded. We walked back outside and got in the car. "I have to drop you off at work. Is that ok?" I nodded. What did he have to do?
