Fall

Chapter Twelve

“Sweetie! Zayn’s here!” mom shouted from downstairs and I quickly stormed out of my room. I looked at him with his smile flashing at me, and so I returned one also.

“V! You called me!” he said, hugging me tight.

“Well, we expected that you would call Louis but s’alright, you called! That’s great!” he cheered.

“Mom, I’m going to their house. I’m sleeping there.” I said. “Is it okay with you?” she just nodded and said it’s okay because I’ve done it a hundred times, so I packed some things in my backpack and grabbed the camera, the journal, and the recorder because Zayn said so. He helped me, taking the boxes because it helps me.

“Bye Glenda! Thank you for these lasagna! I’m sure the lads will smother it up, yeah?” he said, hugging my mom before carrying the lasagna.

“Anything for you guys! You know I’m your other mom, right?”

I coughed, letting them know that I’m still here.

“Okay mom, bye. I won’t be back. I’ll surprise ya!” I winked.

“Okay, okay. Zayn, look after her! Louis knows that also but look after her, too okay?” she chirped.

“Course. Bye!” we walked out of the house, walking to reach theirs.

“What was Louis like?” I asked him. He was carrying my box, and I was carrying the lasagna and my back pack. He just said that I should wrap some things that could last a week. And so I did.

“He’s your everything, really.” He said, shaking his head.

“We all know it’s you and him, V. We’ve spent all our lives together, yeah? We really got angry on Louis when we were in sixth grade because Liam knew something’s up. But he helped you a lot than you may think of.”

After a lot of talk, we finally stopped in a house full of mess.

“Veronicaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” they all shouted in unison. They attacked me with their big hugs, and Harry claimed the lasagna before they smash it to the ground.

“V!” a woman said, which I think is Lou, ‘my best friend’. I smiled at her, hugging her and giggling.

“I don’t really remember you guys, but I know you!” I said.

“It’s okay, we’re still eating your mum’s Lasagna!” Liam shouted again and everyone went crazy.

Lou’s just sitting with me, exchanging smiles and giggles. It’s like we have this connection; and it’s telling me that we are on the same page.

“See, I’m your best friend! High school!” she said. I nodded in agreement, dragging her to the kitchen.

“Aight, let’s eat!” I said, and my camera’s already in Liam’s hand. “Liam, put the camera down, man!” Zayn commanded.

“Nope, because V needs this photo.” He said looking at me, giving him a high five.

“Alright guys, say cheese!” we all said cheese, smiling to the camera.

In the middle of our not peaceful eating, someone opened the door and it was Louis. I looked at him, his blue eyes staring at mine. “Grayish blue.” I mumbled.

“V. V!” he shouted, running to me and hugging me. we laughed and we just high five each other before hugging again.

“I know what you’re thinking. No, I can’t remember anything and yes the photos helped. Although it caused me a massive panic attack but it’s cool. No biggie.” I said to him, giving a thumbs up.
