In Too Deep (One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 9

*Jessica’s POV*

“So Lux is like your adopted baby step-sister… Almost?” I asked my brother, still a bit confused.

“Basically. We love her as if she is one.”

“She’s the cutest baby I’ve ever seen! Look at those eyes!”

“I’ll text Lou tomorrow and see when we can see her next. You defiantly-” Louis’ word were interrupted by Niall’s scream.

“GUYS SHUT UP THIS IS THE BEST PART!” he said almost jumping from his seat. It was the part where Bubbles the fish comes out and shuts the chest because Nemo let out his Bubbles… Everyone laughed hysterically, even the emotionless Zayn, but I just smiled.

Louis looked over and whispered, “Is it just not to funny for you?”

“You have to remember, this is my first movie… ever… ”

“Ah. Well, that will be changed soon! Movie night is like, twice a week! Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of you.”

After three or four more movies, I was exhausted. The last thing I remember was from the movie called ‘Madagascar 3’. It was right after the ‘afro circus’ song. Then I was out…

*Louis’ POV*

By the end of ‘Madagascar 3’, Jessica had fallen asleep next to me. I looked over to Harry, who was now on Twitter on his phone. I whispered, “Hazz, I‘m gonna take Jessica up to her bed. I‘ll be back in like five.” He gave a quick nod, signaling he had heard me.

I lifted her almost weightless body up into my arms like a princess. She was so light. It wasn’t natural for a 17-year-old… Had he starved her, too?

As I carried her up the stairs, she began to stir. I started whispering to her the chorus in WMYB. Jessica was quickly back to sleep again.

I sat her down in the king size bed Simon had put in just for her. Covering her body with the sheets and comforter, I kissed her forehead and headed for the door.

“Louis?”

*Jessica’s POV*

Someone kissed my forehead and whispered goodnight. I opened my eyes, and I was back in my room. Someone was just leaving. Who ever it was brought me up here, “Louis?”

The figure turned around, whispering, “Yeah?”

My ribs, the two on the left that were broken, were killing me, “Could I have an aspirin? My ribs hurt.”

“Sure, sis.” and he was gone.

Within seconds he was back with a glass of water and two pills. I quickly gulped them down as Louis sat on my bedside.

He was just looking at me, not saying a word. I finally said, “Louis? I can trust you right?”

“Of course. At least, I would hope so… You can tell me anything!”

“Okay. Umm. So, I have never really socialized with people, so sometimes it gets weird… Sorry.”

“I completely understand, but I want to know one thing…”

“What?”

“Tell me everything. Please. About your old life and Dad, and… Everything!”

*Louis’ POV*

“Tell me everything. Please. About your old life and Dad, and… Everything!”

For a few seconds, her deep-brown eyes just looked into mine. Then she quickly looked down into her lap and burst into tears. She was crying so hard she was hiccupping. I moved in closer to her, putting my arm around her should. At first, she pushed away, but I said, “Jessica, I won‘t hurt you. Trust me.” and put my arms around her again.
