The Tommos (3)

The DriveAway

Louis’ P.O.V

I was set to go back to America the next day but I didn’t know if I could, and I definitely couldn’t tell if I should. I had spoken to Niall about it but he told me it was all up to me, he was right of course but I still secretly wished someone could decide for me.

The night that Rebecca and Jay had their little falling out was two days prior to now, after I found the both of them hugging and crying I knew I had to do something. I walked my wife up those stairs and straight into our bedroom, she sat down on our bed looking motionless and drained.

“Babe, what the heck just happened?” I asked straight away. I made sure the door was closed, not because I didn’t trust our nanny but I didn’t think it was any of her business.

“I’ve been a terrible Mum and a horrid wife and I just don’t know how to handle anything anymore.” She answered with a sob.

“What do you mean? You’re a perfect mother, the boys love you. Just because we have a nanny and we need a little help doesn’t mean you’re a terrible mum! Where did you get that idea from?” I asked getting quite heated. Why was she having these thoughts? Was it my fault? Maybe I should have been telling her how great of a job she’d been doing?

“I’m sorry.” She kept repeating over and over it was breaking my heart.

“No there’s isn’t anything to be sorry about babe, we’ll get you some help.”

“Help? You think I’m crazy don’t you?” she reacted rather badly.

“No I don’t!”

“You want me to have my head examined or something just because I’ve been feeling a little down?” she wanted to know.

“No! Only if you want to babe, I’ll be here for you whatever you want. I just hate seeing you so upset.”

“Then why do you keep looking at me if you hate it so much?” she was in complete hysteria by now, and I was glad the twins couldn’t talk yet. Imagine what they’d be saying after hearing all this?

“I love looking at you, you’re my wife and I don’t like anything that hurts you. I want to see you smile and be happy, I can’t make you happy and it’s killing me Jay I love you.” I was almost crying now, the atmosphere was really getting to me.

“I’m sorry!” she screamed and fell down on the bed, she was face first on the messy sheets, crying into them loudly, I wrapped my arms around her and she let me hold onto her for what felt like a while. When we’d both settled down a bit, she agreed that she’d start telling me what was wrong with her life instead of bottling it up. I knew this meant she will probably start telling me every little thing in her life but I didn’t mind. I loved her and that was the only thing that really mattered right now.

I had to pack my bags in the two days after that, Harry had called me every night just to tell me everything that was going on back In America, I can’t imagine what those interviews would have been like without us. All those questions about the baby wouldn’t have been easy to answer especially since we were trying to keep it secret to avoid any disrespectful remarks about Penny, I know after my daughter was born the fans were either supportive or they sent hate to Jay, which of course was the most horrible thing I had ever witnessed, kick a girl when she’s down yeah? Seems legit.

“Louis.” I heard her call my name from in the bathroom that joined onto our room. I was half dressed and my bag was tightly packed once more.

“Yeah babe?” I called out to her.

“Come here.” She responded, and I was very intrigued as to what she wanted to tell me, so I straight away went in to see her.

She wasn’t wearing much and by saying that I mean she wasn’t wearing a single thing. She must have been feeling a lot better because she looked…well hotter than usual.

“Um hi.” I said to her trying to keep my cool. She giggled flirtatiously, moving closer towards me.

“I thought I would say goodbye to you properly.” She smirked, and I didn’t hesitate for a single second.

Jay’s P.O.V

“Have a safe trip!” Rebecca called out to Lou as he hopped back into his taxi, I had small tears in my eyes but nothing major. I knew he was going to text me as soon as he was out of our driveway but I didn’t mind. It was comforting knowing that he wanted to check up on me.

“So, what did you have planned for today?” The nanny asked me, as we both walked back into the house, I had Connor in my arms and she had Nick in hers.

“I have an audition today.” I beamed excitedly, yes my agent called me this morning which dramatically changed my mood.

“That’s excellent Jay, I was going to go visit Penny but I’ll be happy to stay here and look after the boys instead.” She smiled.

“Penny’s going home today maybe we can go visit her at home when I return?” I suggested and she seemed to like that new idea.

“Sounds good to me, how bout you nick?” she asked and he started baby talking her causing the pair of us to laugh.

Lou’s P.O.V

As the taxi rolled away, I checked my phone for one last time. I watched out the back window as my house began to gradually look smaller and smaller as we moved further away down the road. I finally had time to do what I’d been putting off the entire visit.

To: Marie

Message: I’ll be in the US for another few weeks, but I’d love to catch up when I get back X

I pressed send, and thought about what Jay would think after everything that the last few days had involved I suddenly doubted whether or not this would be a good idea, but hey I could always change my mind.

My phone soon vibrated and I knew who it would be.

From: Marie

Message: Sounds great. See you then x

I knew one person who would understand, one person who could help me decide what to do, but I was too scared to ask for help.

soooo what do you all think of the mysterious Marie?
