My Sun - JJ Maybank

Chapter 7: Call

Do you want to call JJ?

Yes No

"Louis?"

"JJ... H-hi."

"What the fuck man? You can't just become a pogue one day then leave us hanging! Why didn't you anwser my texts or calls? It made me look ridiculous checking my phone every five minutes."

"I'm sorry... I-I was just going through some shit. I'm well now. You were worried?"

"Yeah. Yeah.. You're a pogue now. We look after eachother, that's what we do."

"Heh... Thanks JJ. Um... Are you and Pope still able to hangout? Mrs. Brooks said you showed up earlier....I'm sorry...I was busy."

"Pope is busy helping board the shop up for Agatha, Kie is working but John B and I are free right now. If you want. You don't have to hangout."

"No-no. I'm free. I'm well. Can I hangout? I... I miss you guys."

"Yeah! Sweet! I'll just steal John B's keys and be there in a few! Um... You going to stay at John B's tonight? I am."

"Um.. Yeah! If it's okay with the Brooks that is. Could my little brother possibly stay over, later atleast. We have never gone through a hurricane and... Well he may need me."

"That works. Ask your pare- the Brooks and I'll be there soon. Let me know what your brother says."

"O-okay."

"And Mikey?"

"Yeah?"

"I missed you too. Even if you acted like an ass all this week ignoring me."

"Heh... Bye JJ."

"See you soon Mikey."

Louis has a small smile spread across is face. Someone missed him. Someone cared.

Louis quickly puts his phone is his pocket before running back to his front door and entering the house.

"Mrs. Brooks? Henry? Frére? Anyone?" He asks, running through the house to find someone.

Louis accidently runs into Mr. Brooks on his way up the stairs, he loses his balance but catches himself and gives Henry an apologetic look.

"Whoa! Slow down kid. You okay? I heard you call out." Henry asks, putting a supporting hand on Louis shoulder.

Inside Louis is smiling happily as there is a father figure worrying and caring for him. He unexpectedly pulls Henry into a hug.

"Désolé. Sorry for running into you."

Mr. Brooks accepts the hug and pats Louis' back.

"That's all alright. So why did you call?"

"Friends. They uh.. Wanted to see if I could spend the night."

Mr. Brooks has a look of shock shown on his face. Henry knew his adoptive sons were struggling after knowing the news of their mothers murderer, he also knew Louis was taking it the hardest. The last thing he expect was for Louis to want to go outside. He smiled at the thought of Louis hanging out with some friends instead of being cooped up at home, wallowing in his own self pity.
