Awaiting Angel - Larry Stylinson

3. Whatever

Jay decided to let Louis play with the garden hose, since the boy is obsessed with water. So currently, Louis is sitting on the grass of backyard and playing with the garden hose that sprays water around.

"Don't let water go into your nose, baby. You'll get sick." Jay said smiling brightly at her happy baby. Louis wasn't paying attention to what she said. He just continued what he's doing.

He took the hose and directed it to his slightly open mouth. Water filled his mouth, few landing on his face and tickling him. The tickles made him giggle and he choked. He started coughing uncontrollably.

"Louis!" Jay quickly ran to his side. She patted and rubbed his back. "It's okay. Shh..." She whispered.

After a few coughs Louis stopped coughing and giggled. Jay smile fondly at him and placed a kiss on his forehead. He took the hose again and started playing with it.

"Hey, Anne." Jay greeted.

"Hi, Jay." Anne beamed.

"Oi, what got you so happy?" Jay asked knowing her best friend like the back of her hand.

"Harry is leaving for uni. God, Jay he's a big boy now. I can't believe this." Anne said smiling with tears in her eyes. Jay smiled and hugged her.

"I'm so happy for him. Yes, I refuse to believe that he got that big so soon. It's not fair." Jay said in a whine like tone making Anne laugh.

"I know." Anne whined back.

"So, where is he now?" Jay asked. Anne's face fell at that. She knew something was up from the start. She wasn't that dumb to not notice the change of his son's behavior.

"Said something about going out with high school friends." She mumbled. Jay smiled, being always the positive one.

"Let him be. Anne. He wouldn't meet those people for a long while after going to uni." She said patting Anne's back. Anne smiled and nodded.

"Where's Lou?" She asked.

"He's in the backyard, playing with the garden hose. Always obsessed with water. It wouldn't change if he was 80." Jay said with a chuckle. Anne nodded, chuckling.

They both walked to the backyard. Jay saw Louis chewing on the hose as soon as they step out of the backdoor.

"Ew, babe. It's dirty. Don't chew on that." Jay quickly rushed to his side and removed the hose from his mouth. Then she took some water and made him wash his mouth.

But it wasn't fair. Louis wanted to chew on something and his mommy took it away. So he put two of his fingers into his mouth and started chewing. Jay sighed knowing that it's a thing that comes with his condition and there is nothing she can do about that. But she got Louis' hand and washed it thoroughly before letting the boy chew again.

Anne watched all of this with a sad smile, wondering how his son could give such a heartbreak to this innocent boy. She has tried to convince herself that her own son isn't such a jerk, but she couldn't deny that fact, so she finally believed it.

"What're you thinking about?" Jay asked walking back to the porch and noticing Anne's frown. Anne quickly snapped out of her trance and shook her head.

"Nothing." She said plastering a smile to her face. Jay didn't look convinced but she nodded anyway.

"You got everything you need?" Anne asked smiling down at Louis when he let out a giggle. Jay was inside making some coffee for them.

"Just one more suitcase." Harry mumbled while checking his phone.
