Still A Flicker Of Hope [The Journey Of Love] || N.H

Chapter 7 - The Beginning

Abigail's POV
January 1, 2013.

Here I am. Standing in front of a big mirror looking at my own reflection in my own room.

Since Louis is in the band, he lives with them in their own house that they bought together. He usually come and visit us once a week, or less or more like when he got work to do.

He became quite busy, but he kept on giving us some of his money every month. He told us to use it for our needs. Once, he offered mom and dad to buy a new house, but they rejected it immediately. My parents prefer to keep this house. Too many memories, they said. So he insisted to make renovations.

My room is now filled with new stuff, including this big mirror that is attached to a closet in front of me which I'm staring at right now while sitting on my now queen sized bed.

New color on the wall.

And I have my own bathroom now.

Pretty much the same as Lottie's, except she's still so innocent and happy and that she asked him for a bunch of new things. Which he gladly give.

Since he insisted, my parents only asked for a new bed and new paint for their walls.

Louis also insisted to change the living room and the kitchen. It got a same design, but a couple things were changed and added with new stuff. He also insisted for a studio and home theater which immediately been refused from both of our parents.

Things have change since he got famous. We're missing him a lot, and I feel like this family is slowly breaking apart. We feel like we're missing something.

I walked my self to my working table and pull out my laptop that Louis bought me last year. I turned it on to continue my research about a good university.

No, i haven't graduated yet but I will, this year in June. And since then, I've been working so hard on studying to pass all the coming exams. 5 months to go until the final exam wont be a long time.

I turned off my laptop, closed it and slid it back to it's bag. I made my way down stairs to the kitchen to find something to eat.

It's now 3 pm and I decided to eat cereal. I opened the cabinet and took my favorite cereal, Honey Cornflakes and put it on the counter underneath it.

I opened the fridge and take my self a box of milk and put it beside the cereal box. I took a bowl and a spoon and starts making the cereal.

I bend my body and rest my elbows on the counter and eat the cereal with my right hand and scrolling through social media on my phone with my left hand.

I've been active on social media for these last couple of years, and it's been so exhausting since i am "the sister of the most famous boy band in the world".

I hear footsteps approaching me so I turned my head and see Lottie entering the kitchen.

"Take a sit, sis." She said while putting a stool from the island behind me.

"Thanks!" I enthusiasticly said. With a questioned look on my face, I watched her walking to the fridge and took a yoghurt out.

"What." She blushed but maintained to spoke in a flat tone and expression.

"What has gotten into you for being so nice to me lately?" I interrogated with a smiley face, still not looking away from her as she took a spoon.

"Huh, nothing." She ate the yoghurt and smile, hiding something. Obviously.

"No. Tell me." I said taking another spoon of my cereal.

"You know you can tell me everything." I said. Trying to convince her, but not really pressuring her.
