The Tommo Way

Chapter Twenty-One: A Secret For A Secret and Goodbyes

Hi everyone!

Miracles do happen. I am going to see Niall at the Flicker Sessions in London. I am not okay. I still can't believe it, I feel so honoured to have the chance to be one of the first ones to hear his new album. To be honest, I was supposed to move to Scotland on that particular day but I' had to sort out my priorities, so...I booked my flights to London :D I hope some of you got as incredibly lucky as me or get the chance to see him at his 2018 Tour!! I never had the chance to see 1D live and seeing Niall in less than six weeks is a pretty insane feeling!

Also: 3 days till 'Back To You'!!!

I struggled a little with this chapter because my concentration was pretty much non-existent, I had a lot on my mind lately. So if there are any mistakes in there, I apologize in advance, I tried my best to find all of them!

I'm not sure when I'll be posting the next one, might take a little longer than usual because I'm flying out to Scotland on Thursday to get second load of my stuff over there and start decorating the flat. It might be a week or two, I can't say for sure but I'm very keen on telling the story so it might be sooner rather than later ;)

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Thanks for reading :)))))

Louis POV:

I woke up the next morning from an unfamiliar beeping sound. With a groan, I screwed my eyes shut and tried to ignore the annoying sound of the alarm clock. Suddenly, something or rather someone very close to me moved. Sluggishly I opened my eyes and blinked a couple of times. My vision cleared just in time to see Abby's hand hit the button on her clock, bringing peaceful silence to the room.

The memories of last night came back to me in a flash and I felt a smile brighten my face. Abby let out a soft moan and snuggled deeper into the sheets, unconsciously moving a little closer to me. I felt her fingers twitch slightly in mine and my smile deepened when I noticed that sometime last night she had ended up in my arms, the fingers of our right hand intertwined. I gave her a peck on her brown curls and squeezed her slightly.

"Morning, sunshine!" My voice was raspy and low but Abby gave a little jerk when she heard me and slowly turned her head around to me. The look in her eyes told me that she wasn't quite awake yet and I saw realization dawning in her sleepy eyes when she looked at me. "Hey you." She said and blushed slightly. I caught myself staring at her make-up free, tired face and wondered how I had gotten so lucky as to wake up next to such a beautiful young woman.

Noticing my own staring, I quickly cleared my throat and tapped her nose slightly. "I believe we have to get up now." I said and Abby scrunched up her nose and rolled onto her back. I grinned and slowly began to tickle her side, making her groan in annoyance and slap my hand. "Love, I know you wouldn't want to be late for your exam." I said and although I said it lightly, I felt Abby's whole body stiffen. I pushed myself up on my elbow and looked down at Abby's frightened face.

"Don't forget to breath, love." I said in an attempt to cheer her up but she continued to stare at the ceiling with the same fearful expression, I had seen her wear so often over the last week. The sheer panic in her eyes was more than I could handle. "Alright, that's it." I said and climbed out of the bed and walked over to the window, opening the curtains. As I had hoped, the sky was light blue and sunshine flooded into Abby's bedroom.

The light hit Abby's face and she squinted her eyes against the bright sunshine. I chuckled and crossed my arms. "Love, the sun is shining just for you and giving you some extra strength for the day so now you're going to show your appreciation by getting your arse out of the bed and writing a damn good exam." I was over at Abby's side within a few seconds, pulling away the blanket. Abby protested loudly and tried to hold on the warm sheets but I only laughed and let myself drop on top of the piled-up blanket.
