A New Beginning
Chapter 10
Sadly, I didn't do that great of a job covering it up. My mom quickly spotted a cut on my lip that I didn't cover fully.
"Lida, I really thought you left this behind in high school!" she exclaimed while examining my cuts. My shoes suddenly became interesting as I looked down in shame.
"Mrs. Gannon," Louis spoke up and I looked at him in shock. "I was there and Roz edged her on. I haven't known Lida for nearly as long as you have but I have noticed how protective she is over her family and people she loves. She was merely sticking up for you guys." My shocked look became soft and loving as I looked up him, speaking of people I love. Woah woah woah, I what?
"Mama G," Sarah now spoke up. "We love you, you know that, and Lida loves you. She was sticking up for you guys. Roz questioned the validity of their relationship and on top of that went at you and Ashley." Sarah added, trying to convince my mom. She finally sighed and looked at me.
"Well, I suppose that you're too old for me tell you what to do anymore. I just still see you as my irresponsible little girl," we both smiled sheepishly. I was pretty irresponsible growing up. "I want you to be happy and I hate to see you come home with these bruises and cuts again." I smiled reassuringly and hugged her tightly. I really did miss my mom. We hung around outside a little longer until Louis, Sarah and I decided to head inside. My mom stayed outside with my dad, Ashley had gone out with a friends, and Matt had gone home where he lives with his fiancé.
We went into the living room and plopped down on the floor. Floors are way more comfortable than sofas. They're more casual and you can put board games on them. Go floors. We laughed and lay around telling stories. Sarah had begun to tell a story from my birthday party from when we were younger when Louis interrupted her.
"Wait, when is your birthday?" he asked.
"I'll turn 21 on February 2nd," I replied.
"That's the day after Harry's birthday," he said.
"Really?" I asked. He nodded while leaning his back on the sofa and stretching his legs out in front of him.
"When's yours?" I asked. He opened his mouth to respond when Sarah interrupted him.
"Christmas eve," she cut in. Louis and I looked at her and began laughing. She was a fan, she knew that kind of stuff. It's a little weird though, that she knows more about my boyfriend than I do.
"Wait your turning 21 in february and you were drunk when I found you," he pointed out.
"Yeah, and..." I said, not really getting his point.
"Don't you have to be 21 to drink in america?"
"OH!!!" I exclaimed, finally getting his point. "Well I'm friends with the bartender," I said awkwardly. Louis, and Sarah laughed.
After a few hours Sarah stood up. "Whelp! I should be headed home, I have work in the morning." I stood and gave her a hug.
"Come and visit, Sarahbabe!" I exclaimed while hugging her.
"Well duh!" she yelled. "I'm not going to leave Louis hanging, there's still so many embarrassing stories that he needs to know about you!" I laughed and glared at her playfully. She then walked over to Louis and hugged him lightly. It was a little less awkward for him this time since he knew her and was expecting it. We waved as she walked to her car, I yawned as I turned back inside.
"I'm going to turn in too," I said. I began to walk to my room and Louis joined me. Yeah and I know what you're thinking and no. I haven't known him long enough for any of that. Couples can sleep in the same bed and not have any of that happen. So no. I climbed in my bed and my eyes began to droop almost immediately. I heard some rustling and realized that Louis was changing, when he climbed in he wrapped his arm around my waist. Pulling me closer to him. I turned around so that I was facing him.
"Are you going to change?" he asked before he got settled completely.
"Why? I'm already wearing sweatpants. This is what I sleep in anyway," I muttered sleepily. He chuckled lightly and kissed my nose,
"Goodnight, love." he mumbled, I smiled.
"Goodnight babe." I responded.
I woke up from my deep sleep to a loud knocking on my door and my mother's voice. Just like the old days.
"Lida!! Louis!! I'm making breakfast come down soon," she called. I groaned and slowly slipped out from under Louis's arm, careful not to wake him. I walked to our bags and grabbed an outfit. I looked over to Louis who was still asleep. Whatever, I quickly got changed and walked back towards the bed. I decided to take the same approach that I would when I had to get my brother up when I was younger. I started off by slowly shaking his shoulder, knowing that it wouldn't work. Then I shook him a little harder before taking a breath and getting on the bed. I stood up and jumped yelling as loud as I could.
"Wakey wakey!!! Time to get up!!! Wakey wakey!!! It's FOOD TIME!!!!!" He groaned before rising and grabbing me and pulling me down so I was laying next to him on my stomach. I laid there, giggling and hiding my face in the pillow as he got up and dressed. When he was ready he grabbed me by my waist and threw me over his shoulder.
"REALLY?!" I screamed as he headed down the stairs. "SERIOUSLY!! Is this going to be a regular thing?!" I yelled. He just ran into the kitchen and me mom grinned before speaking.
"You do know she's extremely ticklish right?" she asked him. He grinned as well.
"Yeah I discovered that the second day we knew each other."
"No!" I disagreed. "Liam and Niall found out. You just used it to your advantage," I said. He set me back on the ground as my mom handed us our breakfast.
"Thanks mommy!" (a/n yeah I call my mom mommy, so what?) Louis and I headed to the living room and sat on the love seat eating our breakfast. When we finished breakfast I carried our plates into the kitchen and placed them in the sink and planted a kiss on my mom, dad's and sister's foreheads and said good morning while heading back to Louis. I sat back down and rested my head on his chest as we leaned back on the sofa.
"So what do you want to do today love?" he asked me. I thought for a moment.
"Well I have a few ideas," I began.
"Like what?"he asked while looking down at me. I looked up at him grinning.
"Well when I was younger, a lot of my friends rode the bus," I said. "And so I have a lot of friends that live within walking distance," I concluded my sentence. Louis had an odd grin on his face when he didn't say anything I spoke up.
"You wanna go for a walk Lou?"
"Lida, I really thought you left this behind in high school!" she exclaimed while examining my cuts. My shoes suddenly became interesting as I looked down in shame.
"Mrs. Gannon," Louis spoke up and I looked at him in shock. "I was there and Roz edged her on.
