He's Not Afraid || L.S AU

Chapter 9

Louis'POV

I pull my tight black shirt over my head and the material hugs onto my torso nicely. I throw on my red skin-tight jeans that clings onto my legs and bum, making them look defined. I ruffle my hair, quiffed and styled with a small porpotion of hair gel. A huge amount of anxiety sets inside of me making me even more nervous about tonight at the Harry's family residence. Light tapping fills my ears and I immediately open one of my windows, near my bookshelf.

"Hello Louis" Liam greets me, climbing inside the warmth "Liam" I smile and clean my glasses that are on my bedside table before putting them on.

Ever since me and Liam have met on our roofs, he's been coming inside my room by using my window. He's nice and calming. Liam is different compared to Niall but why should I take notes in their unique personalities?

"How are you?" Liam crashes onto one of my 3 colourful beanbags, "Okay..I guess" I reply, "how do I look?" Liam smiles and nods in aproval "Dashing" I blush and put on my black vans.

"Excuse me for my curiosity, but where are you going?" Liam politely asks "Dinner with my family, to my mum's new friend's" I sit down next to Liam.

I faintly hear Lottie screaming and I chuckle. "I have a feeling we're going to be late" "What makes you say that" Liam asks "My sisters take forever" I whine out.

Lottie comes storming into my room, not acknowledging the precense of my friend sitting by me, "Where did you put my mascara?!" she practically screams at me. Her hair hanging loosely, blue skinny jeans with a peach top with black pumps. A bit dressy if you ask me.

"Erm, how should I know?" I snicker at her flustered form. "Oh my god!" she shouts and runs out my room and not a second later I hear more shouting and clattering.

"Louis! Come on!" I faintly hear mum bellow down the stairs. I sigh not wanting to shout. "I better get going Liam" I stand up from my sitting position and stretch my arms over my head. "Alright, see you" Liam heads towards the window and shuts it behind himself.

I tumble down the stairs, seeing Mark, mum and twins by the door. Mum jingles her car keys for emphasis "Girls! Hurry up! We are 10 minutes late!" "40 minutes late as I recall; Har-Anne's is half an hour away from us." I tell my groaning and stressed mother.

I crouch down to the pairs' height.
"You look beautiful, my little lovelies!" I compliment the twins in identical black dotty dresses, Daisy in red dots and Phoebe in white dots.

"So do you Lou" Phoebe smiles, a gap in her front teeth which has been pulled out only 2 days ago. Cries and yelps were witnessed at the time.

"We are ready!" Fizzy comes jumping next to me once I've stood back up from my crouched position. "Yeah.." Lottie grumbles miserably.

"Okay! Finally, hurry hurry" Mark opens the door and locks it when we're outside and inside the warm family car.

30 minutes later, Lottie knocks on the wooden black door that's oh so familiar...

"You're here!" Anne smiles widely, the heat of the house/mansion hitting my cold skin. "Yeah, sorry we're late" my mum apologises and we're inside. "Oh! Nonsense!" Anne exclaims with a grin "Make yourselves comfortable."

Lottie sits on the couch and I choose to sit on the armchair with Fizzy by my feet. The twins probably with Lucy as I hear squeals coming down the kitchen. A nagging feeling makes me want to ask where Harry is but another emotion is telling me to shut the heck up, to just bypass Harry as he has done nothing but bad to me. I stare at the four walls absently until I feel a vibration in my front pocket. Taking out my phone, I see I have an unread text message.
