The Tommo Way

Chapter Thirty-One: Drag Me Down and Fangirl Attacks

Hello everyone (: Here is the new chapter! Thank you all so much reading, I just saw that I had a hundredth reads on my first chapter and I don't even know how that happened so thank you!

Also, can we please take a little moment to appreciate Niall's new single? I had heard 'Too Much To Ask' at my Flicker show in London but I was still completely blown away. It is such a beautiful, beautiful song and I've got to say that I never want Niall to be sad ever again! I could go on rambling about this song for ten pages but I won't, at least not here. It's beautiful, I just need to say that once more.

Anyway, this chapter is about 'Drag Me Down', I put up the Music Video on top of the page. I'm in love with 'Drag Me Down' and I don't think it's going to change anytime soon ;) Have fun reading!

Lots of love and a wonderful day to all of you!

Bright sunlight hit my eyes and I groaned as I buried my face in my pillow, not ready to face the day. Sluggishly I moved my arm and peaked an eye out of my fortress of soft pillows to have a look at the clock on my nightstand. It was 8.30 am. With a sigh, put the alarm clock back down, knowing that I could just as well get up now that I was already awake. I counted to ten in my head, bracing myself for the inevitable coldness when I would leave my bed.

After I had counted to ten at least five times, I finally managed to move my foot out of the warmth of my duvet and pulled a face as the cold air hit my skin. After a fierce inner debate, I finally got out of bed and opened my drawer, pulling out one of my warm sweaters. A smile flashed across my face when my eyes fell onto a framed photo which had joined my other pictures a couple of weeks ago. It was a photo of me and Louis, taken shortly before they boys had left for America. Louis and I were smiling into the camera, Louis' arms wrapped around me from behind.

My gaze lingered on Louis' smiling face for a while and a familiar hint of sadness flooded my heart. Nearly a month had passed since Louis, Niall, Harry and Liam had taken off to the States to do their ORTA Tour and I missed Louis every single day. The last time the lads were gone, I had been busy with university stuff but now over the summer break, I had nothing to keep my mind off things except work. I threw one last look at the photo before closing the drawer and making my way into the kitchen, pulling over a big, warm sweater.

"Good morning!" Lucy chirped when she saw me come in, earning nothing but a grunt and a tired wave from me. I dragged my feet over to the kitchen counter and poured myself a cup of coffee, still trying to become aware to my surroundings. "You know, I'll never understand why you, of all people, work at a bakery, Abby. You're the worst morning person I know." Instead of giving her a proper answer, I only shrugged. I had no idea why I did it to myself but there was something about this job that made it bearable.

I managed to add some milk without spilling over the coffee and slowly made my way over to the kitchen table where Lucy was eating her breakfast, a book in front of her. When she heard me sit down, she flipped her book shut and grinned at me broadly, wiggling her eyebrows. "Soooo...what did you think?" I frowned at her question and took another sip of coffee, my brain slowly starting to work faster. "I slept alright if that's what you mean." I said hoarsely, slightly annoyed that I was forced to speak my first word of the day faster than I had wanted to.

Lucy looked at me bewildered. "No, that's not what I meant! I don't give a crap about how well you sleep, honey!" "Jeez, thanks Lu, I love you too." I grumbled and snatched a piece of bread from Lucy's plate. Lucy rolled her eyes and shifted on her chair excitedly. "I'm talking about the song!" Not making much sense of her words, I continued to spread marmalade on my bread and shot her a look. "What song, Lu? It's 8.45 in the morning and I just got up, you've got to help me out here a little."
