Look After You

Ch 15: Stop moping! It's not like he's dead!

Claire's POV 

Day One without Louis: 

He flew out of Miami International Airport at 4am today. My stupid parents wouldn't let me go to say goodbye. I tried begging, but no luck. I cried most of the day, but around 3pm Louis tweeted:

@louistomlinson: Back home! I miss u <3 wish u could b here xxx

Unfortunately stupid management says they want to keep our relationship under wraps, so I couldn't reply to him on Twitter. AND I can't text him cause my stupid phone doesn't have an international plan. Notice that my word for Day One is "stupid". 

I moped for all of Day One, only leaving my room to grab a bag of chips and a soda. 

Day Two without Louis: 

Today, I planned to hide in my room, like I did yesterday. But 4 boys and my sister had different ideas. I was lying in my bed, listening to sad songs, when Lily picked the lock on my door. Before I could yell out, Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Lily were all in my room. They kidnapped me. Actually, Lily forced me to shower and get dressed while she yelled at me. Her inspirational words were:

"Get a grip Claire! For heaven's sake, stop moping! It's not like he's dead!" 

After I was harassed, she dragged me downstairs. I moped on the couch while the boys tried to cheer me up. They goofed around, told bad jokes, and even sang to me. Which just made me cry. I missed Louis. Finally they got me to laugh when Niall threw 20 spoons at Liam. The look on his face was priceless. I laughed so hard. And I got in a slightly better mood when Louis called Harry. LARRY FOR LIFE. He talked to me for a little bit. 

It was hard, hearing his voice. But I couldn't tell him how much I missed him. If this was how I reacted for only one week, how would I deal when the summer's over? But according to Liam, who had a serious girlfriend while on tour, he said the first time was the hardest. Louis sounded tired when I talked to him, but he said his mom was getting better. I treasured those ten minutes. 

Day Three without Louis: 

I woke up early today, for no reason at all. I went for a run on the beach, which helped a lot. The running cleared my mind and I was in a much better mood when I got back home. Louis tweeted

@louistomlinson: Only four days til I see your beautiful face again <3 xxx

That caused a frenzy on Twitter. Thousands of fans were speculating about who this new girl was. I smiled, only a few months ago that was me, dreaming about meeting Louis. And now, I was his girlfriend. Crazy stuff, life is. 

Today was realtively quiet, I tanned on the beach with Zayn, while Harry and Niall dunked Lily in the water. Her shrieks were quite priceless so I took a picture and uploaded it to Twitter. 

@claireforever: Tanning on the beach with @zaynmalik1d while @harrystyles and @niallofficial dunk Lil in the water. http://twitpic.3562

Zayn automatically retweeted that, and since all five boys were following me on Twitter, my mentions got blown up. It was scary, but I logged off of Twitter, refusing to look at it until tomorrow. 

Day Four without Louis: 

Today, my parents went off to go have lunch with some friends of theirs, so I was in charge. Harry had texted me asked if I wanted to come over to their house for a movie night. Seriously, I fangirled for a minute or two, until my brain reminded me that this was normal now. 

After lunch, I Skyped with Sara for two hours. It was supposed to be shorter, but when I saw my best friend's face, I knew we'd be on for a while. She told me all about her Skype date with Niall, how she only fangirled twice. I was so proud of her. She seemed so happy and the look in her eyes told me that she was falling fast for the Irish boy. 

I told her about Louis asking me to be his girlfriend and she screamed so loud that her mom asked if I was dying. About halfway through our Skype call, Niall and Liam walked in. Yes, we don't lock our doors either and they take that as an invitation to barge right in. When Niall saw Sara and vice versa, the conversation stopped. Poor Liam looked clueless until I explained. While the world's awkwardest couple stared at each other, Liam and I went into the kitchen and made cookies. 

Yes. I randomly make cookies sometimes. 

Once the cookies were done and Niall was done admiring my best friend, we went over to the 1D house and watched scary movies until I was trembling next to Niall. 

All in all, it was a pretty good day. 

Day Five without Louis: 

The only thing I did today was sit on the couch and watch the Harry Potter movie marathon on ABC Family.

Yes. I love Harry Potter. 

I decided to be lazy today and lounged around, wearing sweats. I ignored the texts I was getting from the 4 paranoid and lonely boys who lived next door. I wasn't in a bad mood really, just super lazy. 

Day Six without Louis: 

Since Louis was coming back tomorrow, I woke up earlier and decided to clean my room. After I turned on my phone, it buzzed at least twenty times. 5 texts from each boys, excluding Louis. I ignored them and cleaned my room like a maniac. I can be slightly OCD at times. When I was finished, I pulled on one of Louis's old sweatshirts(yes, I stole it from him) and walked out of my room. I was halfway downstairs when Harry called me. 

"What do you want Styles?" 

"Claire!" he said breathlessly. "Don't go downstairs!" He knew where I was... that was creepy.  

"Why not?" I asked skeptically. Was he trying to prank me? I don't scare well. 

"Just don't." 

"Are you drunk Styles? I'm going downstairs now. Goodbye." 

I hung up and walked downstairs. A boy was standing in the living room. 

Brown hair, blue eyes, striped shirt. 

Louis. 

I froze for a minute, watching him. Was I dreaming? He wasn't supposed to come back until tomorrow. He looked up, his eyes meeting mine. I felt a surge of electricity jolt through me. That feeling was back. That feeling that I missed when he was gone. 

"Claire," he whispered. That was all I needed to hear. I ran to him. He twirled me around while I clung to him. 

"What are you doing here?" I asked. He smiled as he looked at me. 

"My mom insisted that I leave early, according to her I was moping far too much. It was getting on her nerves. She said I must really like you." I smiled so big I wouldn't have been surprised if my face had cracked. 

My Louis was back.
