Trouble

*Zyana's POV*

*BEEP BEEP BEEP* Ugh. Thank god it's Friday. I cursed as I got out of bed and the cold air surrounded my body, it was like stepping into a freezer.

I walked to the bathroom and saw my dress lying on my desk. Must've forgotten to put it back after I received the disturbing text last night. No, I can't think about this right now.

I got dressed and applied some makeup. I never put on a lot of makeup, always just enough to enhance my face in a nice way but still make it look natural.

"Mornin'" I heard Louis say sipping his coffee at the kitchen counter. "Oh...hey." I said distracted.

"Lou, can I ask you something?"
"Uhm, sure" he replied, looking up from his homework that he forgot to do last night, as usual.
"You, Lexi and Courtney and I are the only ones who know about the..." I lowered my voice. "about the shoplifting. You haven't told anyone have you?"

"Of course not! I'm your brother, Zy. I would never do that to you. Why?"
"Nothing" I lied. "Just leave it."

I wasn't going to tell him about the text. Not him, not anyone, for now. Maybe it was just some person playing a sick joke on me? If it was then I'd rip their throat out.

"Who wants pancakes?" I heard my mom shout from upstairs, coming down the stairs putting on her earrings and stopping in front of the mirror in the hallway to see if they were alright.

"ME!" Louis and I both chimed at the same time, grinning.
Mom always used to make blueberry pancakes. Not just any blueberry pancakes, though. She always said she used some sort of secret ingredient and I kept bugging her on what it was, but she never told me.

"What's the occasion?" Louis asked curiously, as curious as me. "You haven't made pancakes in ages! Not since-"
"Are you going to make the delicious blueberry ones again?" I cut Louis of giving him a glare.

"Well, yes. I mean, I figured you guys need a decent breakfast, since you never actually eat anything in the morning." She started saying as she pulled out some pots and the ingredients. "You know, not eating in the morning is bad for you and..."
I smiled as she continued to nag about us needing the extra calories and proper amount of sugar and blabla.

When we finished I went up to her and thanked her for the wonderful breakfast.
"Mom?"
"Yes honey."
"Tell me what the secret ingredient is" I asked as she smiled at me. She didn't say anything, and after my many, many failed attempts of getting an answer, I gave up. Just as I was about to walk up the stairs she said:
"Love. My secret ingredient is love." she smiled. I couldn't help but to run to her and hug her as tight as I could.

Upstars I just brushed my teeth and applied some of my favourite lip balm, then rushed out of my room.
"Damnit Louis I'm coming!" I yelled running down the stairs as I heard the car honk outside.
"Bye mom see you later love you!"
Without giving her a chance to say goodbye, I ran outside and slammed the door shut as I got into the car.

Notes
