Lottie's Brother (larry au)

19

Louis was woken up by his alarm clock blaring through his phone. He groans before hitting snooze and promising himself only five more minutes of sleep.

His plans are ruined when his phone rings again signaling a phone call this time. He blindly answers it and rubs at his eye with his hand sleepily.

"Good morning babe." Eleanor chirps through the phone and Louis thinks it's way too early to be this happy.

"Morning." He says his voice groggy from sleep.

"I've had the worst morning sickness." She whines and that wakes Louis up a bit more because he still can't believe he's going to be a father.

"Are you okay? Do you need me to help with anything?" He asks worriedly and ready to hop out of his bed.

"I'm okay, I was just calling to see if I could ride along with you this morning because Brit isn't going to school."

"Yeah, that's fine."

"I need to be there earlier though because you know I haven't told my cheer coach why I can't practice right now, so I've been avoiding her by going to group study in the library." Louis hates being at school super early because who likes spending unnecessary excessive time at school.

"Okay, I'll be there soon then." Louis says before they bid each other goodbyes and Louis is groaning into his pillow.

He doesn't have time to do his usually routine of pressing snooze a few times and laying in bed on his phone until he forces himself to get up.

He gets up and changes into a green hoodie and some black skinny jeans. He brushes his teeth before finishing the rest of his morning routine.

He's slipping on his white vans when Lottie runs down the stairs.

"I'm getting a ride from Lexi, see you later!" She says quickly before running out not letting Louis say a word. He had noticed she wasn't even wearing her backpack but he wasn't a snitch. He's had his fair days of ditching school and Lottie knew about most of those days and never said a word to their mum.

So he just shrugs and grabs his backpack before driving over to Eleanor's house. He texts her to let her know he's outside and soon after she's walking towards the car.

She's got on a baggy pink crew neck sweater and black leggings underneath. It was a change from her usual tight clothing and Louis knew why.

"I've missed you." Is the first thing she says before leaning over and planting a kiss on Louis's lips.

Louis feels awful but he can't help and think about how different and non exciting it feels when she kissed him, not like when whenever he kisses Harry.

Kissing Harry. He misses it a lot and he might be a terrible person for it, but he really really wants to kiss him again. He wants to touch him and have him all over again like at the lake house. He wants to see him smile and laugh stupidly at a dumb joke he made.

"Are you listening?" Eleanor snaps and Louis shakes his head trying to clear his thoughts.

"Sorry, say that again." He says sheepishly and Eleanor rolls her eyes.

"Louisss, you know it makes me feel horrible when you don't listen to me." She whines and Louis feels bad.

"I'm sorry, I just didn't sleep enough and I'm tired please, repeat yourself." Louis explains and she accepts his apology.

"It's okay, it wasn't really that important it was just about something my mom said, we should get going anyway." She looks down with a sigh and sad eyes, and Louis still feels bad so he reaches over to hold her hand.
