Learn to accept yourself

„Sara, cut it out!" I yelled as she leaped and bounded across the kitchen. I looked at Louis as he watched her with an eyebrow raised.

"Shut up, you cranky cow..." She paused and twirled. "It's not my fault you can't hear the music of life!"

I laughed. "That music?" I asked hearing her ring tone.

Shawty's like a melody in my head
That I can't keep out
Got me singin' like
Na na na na everyday
It's like my iPod-

"Harry?" Sara squealed down the phone, then there was a small pause. "Yeah, louis is here, why what happened?" I watched Louis tense and sit up the moment his name was mentioned. "You did what?" Sara practically screamed, she came through towards us and gave me the phone.

"Harry, are you alright?"

"Yeah, is Louis there with you?" I looked over at him as he sat nervously in the chair. "You've got a spare room right, he's got to stay with you. Don't let him leave, just tell him Tucker Jones..."

"Who is, Tucker Jones?" I asked, I saw Louis instantly overcome with fear. "Who is he Harry?"

I heard harry sigh. "Mum's crazed ex-boyfriend, he rammed our car off the road, he caused the car accident." Harry paused. "Don't let Louis leave, I'll come around in the morning." Then he was gone, I put the phone down and looked over at Louis as he sat paralysed with fear.

"Louis?" I whispered edging closer.

"W-what d-does he want?" Louis asked not moving an inch.

"Who?"

"T-Tucker..."

I sighed, "I don't know, but Harry said you should stay here. He'll come around in the morning to make sure everything's ok." Louis nodded and stood walking out to the balcony, he crumbled down against the fence and let his head fall against his knees. "Are you alright?" Louis' gaze shot up for a moment and he glared at me for asking such a stupid question and then it disappeared again and his head fell back down again. "Louis, come inside please, I don't want you to get cold..." Louis ignored me. "Please, Louis"

"G-go a-away."

"Sorry?"

"G-go away!" Louis snapped angrily shooting a murderous glare at me.

"Um...I'll leave the door open for you." I mumbled turning away and walking back inside, I needed something to distract me so I grabbed the kid's school books and dumped them on the table, I sat down where I could see Louis and tried to get on with my work.

That proved hard after looking up to check on Louis every twenty seconds for the past half an hour. So I migrated towards the living room and sat on the sofa, twirling the glass rose he gave me between my fingers. I looked away from it as a door closed, Louis slouched on the floor in front of me leaning on my legs.

"S-sorry..." He mumbled, wrapping his arms around himself. Something inspired me to gently run my fingers through his hair. I never would have done something like that with someone else but everything seemed so natural with Louis.

"Harry said, he rammed our car of the road. Was he in the accident too?"

Louis let out a sigh and nodded. "H-he h-he's my b-brother."
