Broken Walls *AU*// L.T.

43. Reunited

Cami P.O.V.

I patiently looked around at the bustling bodies, looking for my mum. I finally spotted the brown hair and blue eyes looking directly at us. I smiled at her and she waved, picking up her luggage and heading toward us . My hand still linked in Louis, I leaned over toward his ear.

"Please, don't tell my mum ." I whispered, plastering a smile on my face as she neared closer.

"Why shouldn't i?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at me and I squeezed his hand harder.

"Because she's best friends with Harry's mum and she doesn't need this right now . I don't want to ruin anyone's relationship." I pleaded, looking into his eyes and he looked at me with sorry eyes, biting his lip hesitantly.

"Okay." He sighed and as soon as he finished I was suddenly engulfed in a hug , Louis's grip on my hand loosening. I felt a wetness hit my shoulder and she pulled back, a tear sliding down her cheek.

"Sweetie! I missed you so much! I'm So sorry I haven't called you, I've just been so busy and-" She spoke hectically her eyes frantic as they searched my face and I chuckled.

"It's okay mum, I'm fine." I smiled, but her smile etched into a frown once she looked at my cheek. She raise her hand and cupped it around my face, rubbing her thumb over my cheekbone.

"No you're not, what happened to your cheek?" She furrowed her eyebrows and looked over at Louis, then back to me. Her mouth parted and she stuttered. "There's a bruise and .... What happened?"

"Nothing mum , it was a fall, that's all. I tripped down the school stairs and bumped my cheek on the railing. I'm fine ." I weakly smiled and she stepped back, wrapping her hands into tiny fists. Louis took my hand again and rubbed the top skin softly, a comforting gesture .

"Are you sure?" She spoke and I nodded .

"Yes. Now can we please get home? I'm sure you're jet lagged and I've been busy all day, so I'm quite tired." I countered and she smiled widely, crinkles appearing at the sides of her eyes.

"Of course dear. Did Louis drive you here?" She asked and I smiled wide nodding.

"Yes. He's quite the gentleman, wouldn't you think?" I giggled and she laughed as Louis picked up her suitcases.

"Definetly." She laughed and wrapped an arm around mine.

"Cami?" My mum yelled for me downstairs faintly, and I yanked my headphones out of my ears.

We had gotten dropped off an hour ago by Louis and I have taken a shower and changed into sweats and a tang top, putting my hair up in a messy bun. I have my reading glasses on, while my eyes roam over the words in "The Fault In Our Stars". I've turned off my phone to avoid interruption which is what my mum is doing now.

"Yeah?"

"Phone!" She yelled back and I huffed annoyed, closing the book in front of me.

I trudge down the stairs and she holds out the phone to me giving me a knowing look. What?

"I have to talk to you after." She whispers and heads into the kitchen. The faint smell of cinnamon fills my senses.

"Hello?"

"Camilla? Gosh, I've been worried about you all damn day!" His raspy voice evades my ears and I tense up, my heart rate starting to rise.

"Like y-you would be." I stuttered out , my hand shaking .

"I am! Listen, I'm so sorry Cami. Please forgive me, I love you so much, I never meant to hurt you baby." His voice trying to come out soothing but to me it sounds satanic.
