Chapter seven: Daisy and Pheobè

The twins smelled of that nice soap that all little kids smell like after they’ve had a bath. I have wet marks all over me from the twins – and Lou, splashing me. We put one in a pink overall suit and the other in a green overall suit. They looked so cute! Lou and I tucked them into their beds ready to say goodnight to their Mummy!

“Goodnight Syd” Daisy said hugging me around my neck. I could tell the difference now that they were wearing different colours.  Daisy pink and Pheobè, green.

“Goodnight Daisy.”

“Night night Syd!” Pheobè hugged me as well.

“Goodnight Pheobè!”

“You staying?”

“For a little while.”

“Stay for breaky!”

“For breaky! But I have to go home!”

“Stay here!”

“I don’t have a bed here!”

“Share with Lou!”

“I guess you just have to stay! Who can say no to that face?” Lou laughed. Pheobè and Daisy were quite aorable.

“Fine!”

“Yay!” The twins said together.

“But you have to go to sleep now!”  Their heads hit the pillow and Jo walked in.

“Syd’s staying the night, Pheobè and Daisy said so themselves!”

“That’s fine! Goodnight guys, thank you!” Lou and I came out of the girls bedroom and everyone was already in their rooms I assume playing Barbies or something.

To: Mum

Hey mum, Daisy and Pheobè insisted I stay so I’m staying the night, Love you! X

Lou put his arm around me and turned on the TV, to watch Harry Potter.  He has a weird obsession at the moment.

From: Mum

That’s okay sweetie have fun! X

The movie started up and I just cuddled up to Lou, I never really understood his obsession but he’s my best friend so I put up with it. We were talking about all the stupid things we did in school and Lou just had to bring up this story from when I was in year 10 and my skirt got ripped off by a nail sticking out of the fence and Lou had to stand in front of me so I could fix myself up. He was always really sweet like that, he didn’t laugh at me like everyone else, he was like a protective big brother. 

So I mentioned the time that I found a pigeon and I called it Kevin, and now every pigeon is called Kevin, but on that day, he chased them from the flock and Kevin, who was the only white one, shat on him, so he had the white crap all through his hair for the rest of the day, and it was walking to school too.  He wasn’t impressed.

After the movie finished, we walked into his bedroom to find mum had dropped off some pyjamas for me, and my toothbrush! I didn’t stay at Lou’s as much as he did mine, I didn’t have a wardrobe or toothbrush at both houses like he did. Not that I cared, we lived so close, it’s not like he couldn’t drive me over if I didn’t have something I needed. I grabbed my clothes and walked into his bathroom, it smelled like him, but that should be obvious because he would be in here for hours doing his hair. I swear he spends more time on his hair than me. I slipped on my pyjamas and brushed my teeth, dumping my clothes on the floor, before opening the door and taking a few steps back to slide on the tiles into Lou’s arms, who I demanded to stand in front of the doorway in my bed socks.

I took off for a few steps and then slid for like a metre into Lou’s arms who caught me in a tight, warm hug, so comforting, and pulled me into a kiss, which was something I always wished he would do when he hugged me. It was so passionate and everything I dreamed of. I mean, I’m not creepy, I never ever dreamed about us being together. Never ever, Okay I might have… I mean you can’t control your dreams… Shush! Lou pulled me into bed, and under the covers, cuddling me so close, and tight, like he didn’t want to lose me. But we both know I would wake up in some horrid position because he can’t sleep like a normal human being. I fell asleep quickly to the beat of his heart.

It’s funny thinking about this all now, I’m still so close to the Tomlinson’s and even Eleanor. I see them whenever Lou comes back to see his family. I even come over to help Jo with her kids, because when Lou’s gone she doesn’t really have anyone to help her, so I help her clean and I baby sit so she can have nights out, Eleanor and I sometimes go out to parties and stuff together, we’re so alike, so I guess us becoming friends was inevitable. It kills me to see them so happy together sometimes, but I know he really loves her, and he did what he did to protect me, they’re so good together.

I woke up still in Lou’s arms; he must have focused really hard on no moving too much then. It was only 7:30 am, but I guess we went to bed pretty early as well. I kissed Lou on the cheek before crawling out of his hold and dragging myself to the bathroom to brush my teeth and turn my hair into a normal looking catastrophe, not a bird’s nest. I must have squirmed a massive amount to have my hair look like that. I could hear the twins toddling towards the door to wake us up, so I opened the door quietly with my finger over my mouth..

“Shhh! we’ll make Boo-Bear breakfast in bed.”
