Silent Life

1- Age: 8 years old

1- Age: 8 years old ll Louis Tomlinson 

"Alright Louis, come downstairs it's time to go to Lizzy's house." my mom cheered. 

I couldn't wait to go to Lizzy's house. She was my favorite babysitter and she loved to play whatever game I wanted to play. I jumped up off the floor and grabbed my favorite shoes that were green and had Peter Pan on them, and quickly went downstairs. By quickly, I meant going down the stairs one foot at a time, hand up on the railing while one hand held my shoes closely ot my body. Stumbling over my feet a few times, I finally made it to the bottom of them, sitting on the last stair, and placing my shoes on my feet. I slowly made my way over to my mother, seeing her looking down at me with here brown hair and sparkly blue eyes, with a smile on her face. 

"Ready mummy!" I cheered as I stood infront of her with my hands on my hips. 

"You are huh?" she chuckled. 

"Yup, let's go before we are late!" I say grabbing her hand and beginning to walk towards the door, but I was stopped by my mum not moving. 

"Why aren't you moving mummy?" I asked dropping her hand and crossing my hands over my chest trying to be intimidating. 

"Because sweetheart, you have your shoes on the wrong foot." she says bending down while telling me to sit down and placing my shoes on the right feet and then helping me up. 

"I knew that mummy, I was just testing you to see if you were paying attention. Now let's go before we are late! Come on move it mum, your moving slower than grandma when she takes her sleeping pills and shes in her 90's!" I say clapping my hands and walking behind her pushing her to move slightly faster. 

"Okay okay buddy, I'm going give me a second. I have to lock the door you know." she smiles as she puts the key in the door, turning it and making the door lock. 

I grab her hand and go as quick as my legs would take me and drag her to the car. Getting myself in the car would be an easy task to do, it's my mother that always takes forever. Making sure that I am in the car, making sure that the tires aren't flat, making sure that the windonw are not smudged, making sure that the gas is fine, making sure that there is not leakage in the car, making sure we have air. Like really mum, get a grip will you? 

"Alright we ready to go?" 

"Yes mum let's go. I'm not getting any younger here!" I rant as I cross my hands over my chest once again. 

"Okay child,we are leaving!" she chuckles, putting the car in drive. 

"Finally, jesus, I thought I was going to die here!" I dramatized. 

"Oh stop, it wasn't that deep." 

"But mum, if we don't get there now, then she's gonna think I'm not coming." 

"Oh she knows your coming, don't worry."

"Lizzy!" I cheer as I run into her arms and hug her tightly. 

"Hey sport, how are you?" she asks as she hugs me back. 

"I'm good how are you Lizzie?' 

"I'm just fine now that you are here." 

"Alright Lou, mummy has to go to work, but I will see you later okay?" 

"Okay mummy. See you later." I say as I beging to play with the toys in the livingroom. 

"By Mrs. Tomlinson." 

"Bye sweety." my mom giggles before leaving. 

"Well, now that your mom is gone, we can have some real fun." Lizzie says as she rushes over to me and lifts me into the air. 

"Yeah!" 

"Alright, here is what we are gonna do. We are going to go to the beach and build a sand castle and while the sun is still up, we are going to take lots of pictures. Your mom doesn't know, but I have a pair of swim trunks I found just for you to use from when my son was your age." She said as she smiled.

"Okay, lets do it."

I smiled and followed Lizzie up to a room I haven't seen before and I walked in seeing a pair of Spiderman swim trunks sitting on the bed. I walk over to them and smile, grabbing them and running towards the restroom.

"When we are finished you can keep them." She said as she smiled and watched me smile even bigger.

"Thank you Lizzie." I say as I run over to her and hug her legs seeing as I'm as tall as a table.

"Alright Lou, it's time to go back. Your mother should be coming to get you any minute." Lizzie spoke.

"But I don't wanna go." I whined.

"Louis, it's almost dark and way past your bedtime."

"But Lizzie."

"Don't you but Lizzie me mister, it's time to go."

I groan and get up, grabbing my shirt and shoes and slowly trudged to the car, dreading the moment we leave. I had so much fun today with Lizze that nothing could ruin this day. As we were driving down the highway back to the house, flashing red and blue and white light caught my attention. I was sitting in the back seat of the car, and Lizzie slowed down.

"What's going on Lizzie?" My voice asks.

"Someone got into a bad crash, and has to be taken to the hospital."

"I hope they are okay." I say as I lean up as far as I could to see what's happening.

"I hope so too." Lizzie says.

As we pass the crash, we slowly drive until we pass it then slowly speed up. Making our way back to the house, I see a few police officers standing st the door, waiting for me and Lizzie. She gets out of the car and comes over to my door and opens the door and grabs me and places me on her hip.

"Lizzie what's going on?" I ask scared.

"I don't know Lou. Excuse me officer can I held you?" She asks as she adjusts me on her hip. 

"We have something to talk to you about. Without the boy." He says as he adjusts his hat.

"Lou, go inside and play with the toys okay?" Lizzie says as she places me on the ground and unlocks the door.

I do as told and go inside and sit on the couch. I couldn't play with the toys because I couldn't think. Something horrible was happening and I didn't know what it was. After a few minutes, a piercing scream could be heard on the other side of the door, and then Lizzie came running inside and over to me. Lifting me onto her side and hugging me tightly.

"What's wrong Lizzie?" I ask as I wrap my arms around her neck and softly petting her hair with my small hand.

She doesn't reply. She just continues to cry and cry until the police officers get the idea and leave. She held onto me tightly and said things I coukdnt understand because her head was on my chest. Now this from a different angle looks weird, but. I shrug it off.

"What happened Lizzie?" I ask again.

"I don't know if I should tell you, but I'm going to anyway." She says as she looks at me with red eyes.

"Okay, I cab handle it. I'm a big boy. Go ahead and tell me."

"It's your mum. She died in a car accident."

After those words left her mouth, my whole world began to collapse. I understood completely what was going on and it scared me to death. My mum was dead.

My

Mum

Is

Dead.

I soon felt the tears begin to fall down my face. Everything was crumbling down around me, and it was going to get worse. The tears just kept coming faster and faster, not stopping anytime soon. I looked up at Lizzie and said my last words until god knows when.

"I didn't even get to tell her I loved her."
