Alive (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 27

I was in the middle of making myself lunch when there was a knock on the door. That's weird, usually Louis just walks right in. I wipe my hands on my jeans and walk over to the door to let him in, but when I do it was not who I was expecting at all.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

"Surprise!" She yells pulling me into a hug. I hug her back still shocked that she was here.

When she finally releases me I see my dad and three other siblings come around the corner, but they weren't carrying any bags. I hug each of them excitedly before asking the question I've been wanting to know.

"What are you guys doing here?" I say inviting them in.

"Well we have a three hour layover and I remembered your apartment wasn't that far from the airport, so we decided to come see you for awhile." My mom smiled, hugging me once again. "Are you sure you can't come with us, I feel awful that you're spending Christmas alone."

It may have slipped my mind to tell them about Louis. It didn't really but I know my family and they would have teased me relentlessly about it and would have begged to meet him, just to try and make him as uncomfortable as possible. Speaking of which I hope he doesn't plan on stopping here in the next three hours or were both screwed.

"It's not a big deal mom I-" I'm quickly cut off by the door being opened. Everyone turns their heads to see who had just walked in but I already knew and I just put my head in my hands.

"Hey did you make anything babe Im-" Louis stops talking and I finally look up to see Louis with one of the most confused faces I've ever seen and I can tell he's gotten quite nervous. I need to go save him before he takes off running.

I walk over to him put my hand on his shoulder and try not to laugh at everyone's faces in the room.

"Guys this is Louis my boyfriend. Louis this is my family." He gives me one fleeting glance and everyone stays silent for a moment or two until my mom walks over and pulls him into a tight tug.

"Hi, I'm Lisa and this is my husband Dave." She smiles. Count on my mom to try and break the awkwardness in the room. "Introduce yourselves kids." My mom whispers. They just keep staring like they can't believe it. Thanks a lot guys.

"Amy has a boyfriend." My brother says still staring at him. Could they be any less creepy? I'll just have to introduce them myself.

"This is Derrick, Lucy, and Caitlyn." I say pointing to each of my siblings. They each give a small hi and Louis does the same. Could this get any more awkward? I really don't think it could.

"If you guys could stop staring, that would be very appreciated." I laugh and they each look down at the floor mumbling sorry.

"I'm sorry, we're all just a little surprised. Amy never told us about having a boyfriend." Way to throw me under the bus mom.

"I'm starting to get that." Louis gives me one of those 'were gonna have a talk later' looks and I'm already not looking forward to it.

"You guys can sit down you know," I say motioning over to the couch which was only a three person but anything was better then us just standing here.

They all agreed and walked over, my three siblings immediately taking over the couch. I sat me and Louis down on the edge of the bed, while my dad sat on the arm of the couch leaving my mother standing.

"So how did you two meet?" Great, now we get to start with these questions.

"Well we first met at a store and then later found out we had classes together so yeah." Everyone just nods their head and I never thought I would feel so awkward around my own family.

"So how have you guys been?" I ask trying to draw the attention away from us.

"We've been good just doing the same old thing, we want to hear about you guys." Oh Lord.

"Mom can I speak to you in the kitchen," I say standing up. She nods her head completely clueless. I'm sorry Louis.

As I'm walking away I hear Derrick say, "So how many times have you kissed my sister?" I'm going to kill him later, I can't forget. I hear him stuttering before I turn to my mother.

"Mom could you please try and not make this anymore awkward then it already is!" I whisper yell.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just excited you can't blame me." She laughs.

"Just dial it down please."

"Ok, ok I will." She nods and we walk back over and Louis looks to me like I've just saved his life. I don't even want to know the questions they've asked him in my absence, even my dad
probably contributed.

"So have you noticed she sometimes laughs in her sleep?" Lucy asks.

"I do not!"

"No I haven't noticed that," Louis smirks looking over to me.

"Well I would hope not, that would mean your sleeping with my daughter." My dad laughs and the others join in.

I know my dad doesn't really care but Louis doesn't. He laughs along lightly his face going a little paler. He takes a gulp and keeps his mouth shut for the next little while.

As we continue talking I notice Louis get more relaxed and be more himself. He even left my brother speechless sometimes at the comebacks or jokes he would throw at him. And for that I'm grateful. I hadn't known when this meeting would have taken place but I'm glad it's almost over with.

Three hours pass all to soon and we say goodbye to my family.

"It was nice meeting you Louis." My mom gives him one more hug before closing the door behind her.

"So," he says turning around to face me. "When exactly were you going to tell your parents or anyone for that matter?" He questions pulling me by my waist to him.

"Well you see I uh"

"You uh what?" I could tell he wasn't mad because he was smiling, but he was trying to but it wasn't working out for him.

"I was going to and I uh I"

"Just shut and kiss me," he says closing the space between us.

I do as I'm told, wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him even closer to me. I've hardly gotten to talk to him all day and we deserve this after all we've been through today.

The sound of the door opening again made us pull away quickly.

"Oh I I'm I'm sorry I forgot my phone." My mom says rushing to the couch and taking it off of the seat. "Bye." She calls shutting the door behind her.

Louis walks over and locks the door before coming back over to me, kissing me again. He leads me over the the bed never disconnecting our lips. He pushes me down and crawls on top of me, leaving everything else forgotten.
