Live As We Know It

{Olivia's POV}

We all stared at the door, no one moved. It rang again and Marcel glanced from the door to Zayn, who gave him a curious look, then turned back to the door. Marcel gave me a simple, worried look, which I returned and snuggled Kellyn into my chest. Marcel slowly stepped toward the white door and he seemed to be shaking. He was afraid, I knew it. I was, too, I just didn't want to accept the fact that Luke may actually be back to get me, my husband, my daughter or anyone.

The doorbell chimed once again as Marcel's hand wrapped around the golden doorknob. With another scared glanced to Zayn and I, Marcel turned the knob and pulled the door back.

"Louis!" Marcel exclaimed, allowing Zayn and I to breathe regularly.

"Yeah, who else?" Louis asked, raising an eyebrow as he stepped in.

"We thought you wer-" Zayn started but stopped, shaking his head, "never mind."

"Did you think I was Luke?" Louis said, smirking slightly.

Marcel sighed, "yeah."

"No worries, I would have, too." Louis shrugged, taking a seat on the recliner. His eyes scanned the room. "Did a tornado go through here?"

"No, just one of Marcel's tantrums," I chuckled.

"You would have done the same thing if you were me," Marcel snapped, closing and locking the door.

"So, I guess you all know about Zayn's run in with Luke, yeah?" Louis said, examining the flipped coffee table.

I nodded, "yeah, and we're freaking,"

"Don't," Louis shook his head, looking away from the table, "he's all bark and no bite, he won't do anything,"

"You know this exactly?" Marcel tested his friend. Louis glanced over at him, chewing down on his lip and shaking his head.

"Exactly, no one does," Marcel groaned, kicking the leg of the table. Louis leaned forward, running his hand across Kellyn's head, smiling slightly.

"I'm sure you all will be fine," Louis said, sitting back in the chair, "you're strong, and parents, parents go into ninja mode once their baby is put in danger,"

"And we've seen Marcel take Luke," Zayn added, "I'm sure all will be fine,"

"But even if not, you have us." Louis smiled.

"Aren't you two worried?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

Louis shook his head, "nah, Beauman doesn't scare me, nothing really does,"

"Spiders do," Marcel pointed out.

"So do heights!" Zayn exclaimed with a laugh.

"According to Eleanor, so does commitment," I smirked, earning a laugh from Marcel and Zayn.

Louis glared at us, "okay, that's three things and Beauman is not one of them,"

I nodded and stood up, holding Kellyn. "I'm going to put her down for a nap,"

"Night, Kellyn!" the guys announced as I walked toward the nursery. I smiled down at my small daughter as I entered the pink room and walking over to the crib. I slowly bent forward, laying her on the fluffy white blanket that laid at the bottom. Her toy Monkey was propped up by her head, blocking the sunlight from her eyes. I turned and grabbed the baby monitor, turning it on and sitting it down, grabbing the other one I used for the living room. I had one in my room, one for when I'm in other areas of the house and one in Kellyn's room. I turned on mine and went to walk out of the room, but something outside caught my eye.

I slowly ventured over to the window, pushing the pink curtain that hung from the sides of the windows away from my sight, looking down at the road. Louis' motorcycle sat parked behind Zayn's car, gleaming in the sunlight. An unfamiliar black car sat behind Louis' bike. I knew it couldn't have been the neighbors, because they had gone for vacation and had asked me to water their plants, they wouldn't be back until the following week. I stared down at the car, the feeling of being stared back at washed over me. I went to turn away from the window when the mystery car revved to life and turned, speeding off down the road. My eyes shrunk from the ginormous size they had been in back to normal, my mouth slightly gapped. I locked the window, pulling the curtains down so no one could look in and rushed out of the nursery.
