After my blood turns in to alcohol

Louis' p.o.v

One week later

Em and I had been called to talk to our parents lawyers since they’re fighting for custody of me and Em. We were sitting in the waiting room waiting to basically be interrogated. This was the most time I had seen my sister the past week. She was grounded but mum was barely home anyways which meant Em wasn’t home either. I’ve tried to ask her friend Katie where Em goes when she’s not home but not even she knows. She says Emma’s different and becoming more distant. I just wish she would talk to me, but she doesn’t. ‘’I haven’t seen you in awhile’’ I began to take away the awkward silence ‘’I really miss you’’ I said a little lower. She didn’t answer me. I didn’t expect her to, but it still hurt. I turned to look at my sister. My beautiful little sister. Her eyes didn’t spark as they used to, her hair was messy and she used more eyeliner than before. This thing with our parents was hard on both of us, but I couldn’t help think that she has taken it the worst.

‘’Louis, you can come in now’’ I looked up to see my dad’s lawyer and followed him inside a room. ‘’This will be quick, I just need you to answer two questions. Okay?’’ he smiled and I nodded. ‘’Would you be okay living at your mum’s, your dad’s or both of your parents houses?’’ was I supposed to answer a question like that just now? What’s even best for me and Emma? What if I answer something and she says something else and they split us up? ‘’uhm..I don’t know’’ I finally got out ‘’it’s really important that you answer this, Louis. You have a chance to choose here’’ ‘’but I really don’t know. I have never thought about it before. I've just went with whatever my parents chose” at this point I was so confused. “You're old enough to do your own choice now, Louis. Take advantage of it. Let's make a deal, shall we? I'll reschedule our meeting for next week and you spend a little time with your dad. He made a mistake but he's trying to fix it, he really loves you and your sister” I let out a sigh, I would love to have my dad back in my life. But he really hurt our family. I miss how close we used to be though. I never had that with mum. “Okay” I agreed and then I was free to leave.

When I got out Emma was waiting for me, I was her ride after all. “Did you choose?” She asked as we jumped in the car “no, did you?” She shook her head. “I'll pick whatever you pick though. I don't want….I can't be separated from you” she whispered. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it lightly “I'm not letting that happen. We'll always have each other, I promise”.


The next day I was a little bit late to lunch and when I got to our table Katie was sitting next to Niall. Guess they’re a thing now. ‘’Tommo, how we feeling sunshine are we good?’’ Liam greeted as I sat down ‘’fine and dandy’’ I gave him a weak smile. Truth is I had shit loads of stuff on my mind. I was spending the afternoon with my dad, which I haven’t done in quite awhile so I was pretty nervous. ‘’Where’s Em, by the way?’’ I asked Katie who frowned ‘’we’re not really friends anymore’’ uhm okay ‘’since when?’’ ‘’you have to ask her about that’’ she said before turning back to Niall. ‘’What are you doing this afternoon, figured we could do something?’’ Harry asked but I told him I had plans with my dad. And I didn’t know how to feel about that. The table went silent and I turned to the direction they all looked in only to see Emma walking inside the cafeteria with a black haired bloke. She was giggling and standing very close to him. ''Who the fuck is that?'' I turned back to see nervous looks from my friends but non of them answered my question. ''Only the school's stoner'' Katie said and I could tell she enjoyed this. That little bitch. ''Oh for fuck's sake Katie'' Harry said and I stood up in anger. My sister is not hanging out with a stoner. ''Sit down'' Liam growled and pushed me back down. ''You do not wanna cause a scene, Tommo'' Niall tried to calm me. ''Can someone tell me why that stoner is hanging out with my sister?'' I looked at Liam, I knew he would be straight with me. ''His name is Zayn Malik'' Liam said, ''I don't give a fuck what name he has. Why is my sister with him?'' ''how would we know? Maybe she's curious and wants to be a druggie'' I looked at Katie with disgust. ''Niall I swear to god'' I didn't get to finish my sentence, ''Katie could we have some privacy?'' Niall said and she stood up with a frown and left. ''What do I do?'' I asked them ''you can't do anything, bro. She chooses who she wants to hang out with. If you tell her she can't hang out with him, it will get an opposite effect. She'll do it because you don't want her to and that can get her in trouble'' ''yeah, we just have to hope she doesn't do anything stupid with him''.


Emma’s p.o.v

I was sitting in the school library after school just trying to catch up on homework. The past week I’ve done everything to not be at home and apparently I lost a friend also. Katie is a bitch anyway, she didn’t like I found new friends to hang out with so she blew me off. Running to Niall, I was the one fixing her up with him in the first place. But it’s not like I care.
‘’Hey’’ I looked up to see Harry and gave him a smile ‘’is it okay if I sit here with you?’’ he asked and I saw he had some books in his hands, probably homework. ‘’Yeah’’ I said and looked down at my book. We hadn’t talked about that morning I woke up at his house, I really hoped he didn’t remember I kissed him. If he did, I’ll just say I don’t remember because I was so bloody drunk.

‘’Have you been avoiding me?’’ he said breaking the silence, I looked up at him with a frown ‘’uh no’’ I said ‘’I just figured that….after that party we somehow ended up at my house and...I was kind of drunk so I don’t really remember what happened. And it felt like you were avoiding me so I was just wondering if I did something...if I came on to you or like..if I did I’m so sorry and..’’ ‘’Harry’’ I laughed ‘’you didn’t do anything. I’m sorry I haven’t...been myself lately. It’s been a rough couple of weeks with family stuff and I’m just..tired’’ I gave him a weak smile. He nodded but kept quiet, he didn’t seem to remember anything about that night and I was so grateful for that.

“So have you seen our cover on YouTube yet?” Harry asked and I was grateful for the change of subject, “no, I didn't know you had uploaded anything” I smiled. Harry grabbed his phone, typed something and gave it to me. I put in my headphones since we were in the library and listened to the boys cover of ‘how to save a life’. “Wow Harry, that's amazing. You all are amazing” I said and gave him back the phone, they sounded so good together. “Thanks Emma, we have over 200 views now. And no, all of them are not from Niall” he said making me laugh. Like really laugh, I haven't done that in a while. “I like your laugh”’ he said, like he was talking about the weather. I couldn't help but blush, why am I blushing? “Thanks” I looked down on my book and hoped he didn't notice the pink color of my cheeks. “So I heard you had a fallout with Katie. What happened?” He sounded concerned, like he really cared. “Things..happened. I don't know she didn't like that I started hanging out with new people” I shrugged and he gave me a quick nod. ''I saw you hanging out with Zayn'' he sounded disappointed and it made me confused. ''Yeah, he's nice'' ''just b careful'' I wondered what he meant by that but I didn't get the chance to ask him.

“So Lou is apparently spending time with your dad tonight, are you joining them?” I frowned at his question and shook my head “he wanted some quality time alone with each of us. I'm spending time with him tomorrow I guess” “ how do you feel about that?” I just looked at Harry, that was the first time someone had asked me what I felt. It was always about ‘your mum feels this’ or ‘your dad feels that’ but no one had never really asked me how I felt. “To be honest it scares me” “how come?” “because I'm still angry. I'm still not over that he left us and now he's coming back like nothing happened” “maybe he realized what he was missing and that he fucked up?” it was kind of odd hearing Harry swear, I always thought of him as quite posh. But any cuss sounded beautiful from his mouth. Beautiful? No, what am I thinking? Stop it. “Yeah, maybe he did”.

‘’Wait what is that?’’ I blurted out and reached for his arm, I pulled the sleeve on his t-shirt up and revealed a tattoo ‘’Harry, bad boy, Styles’’ ‘’oh don’t tell my mum’’ he chuckled as I followed the lines of a star on his upper arm. ‘’Is this your first one?’’ I said while admiring it ‘’yeah’’ ‘’it’s pretty’’ I smiled before letting go of his arm. ‘’Do you like tattoos?’’ he asked ‘’I do, but I don’t think I would ever dare to get one. First of all my mum would kill me and second of all I think it would hurt too much’’ ‘’it didn’t hurt that bad, actually’’ he shrugged. ‘’When did you do it?’’ I asked curiously ‘’I did it with Lou a couple of weeks ago...we were drunk’’ I gasped ‘’Louis got a tattoo?’’ ‘’a couple actually’’ ‘’wow mum’s gonna kill him’’ I said amused.

‘’Thanks for driving me home, Harry’’ I smiled and opened the car door ‘’any time’’ he winked. He actually winked at me. ‘’Bye’’ I nervously laughed and closed the door. Did I imagine that or did he really wink at me? Does he mean anything by it or...no. Emma you’re over analyzing shit again. I looked for mums car as I walked up our driveway, it was after all 8pm, but she wasn’t home. Good. I walked in to hear Louis playing the piano in the living room and made my way in there.

‘’Hey there’’ I smirked and leaned against the piano with crossed arms ‘’why are you looking at me like that?’’ he laughed and stopped playing. ‘’Where have you got them?’’ I said and tried to lift his shirt only making him grab my hands ‘’where have I got what? Em, you’re being weird’’ ‘’your tattoos’’ I yelled and bursted in to a laugh when I saw his surprised face. ‘’How did you..’’ ‘’Harry told me’’ ‘’that little shit’’ ‘’well let me see them now you idiot’’. He let out a groan and took up his sleeve revealing a stick figure on a skateboard ‘’well this one’s stupid’’ I said as I touched it. Then he showed his wrist which had quotation marks on ‘’those are pretty’’ and then he showed me the last one, a quote that said ‘far away’. ‘’I can’t believe you didn’t tell me’’ I whispered while touching it. ‘’Anyway, aren’t you gonna ask me how it was?’’ he said and stood up, ‘’the tattoos?’’ I asked as I followed him in to the kitchen. ‘’My time with dad’’ I frowned, I didn’t really want to know to be honest ‘’Lou’’ I sighed and sat down at our kitchen table. ‘’Then I’ll just tell you. He picked me up from school and we went to the bowling alley and then we grabbed a burger. Just like old times. I know I told you I would never forgive him for leaving, I won’t, but I think I can forget’’ did that just come out of his mouth?

How can he I don’t even ‘’I think you’re being brainwashed’’ he didn’t even answer me he just turned to look in the fridge. ‘’I think I wanna live with dad’’ he closed the fridge and turned back to me, ‘’guess we’re living with dad then’’ I noticed I was playing with my nails, something I only did when I was nervous. ‘’You don’t have to if you don’t w..’’ ‘’Louis you promised we wouldn’t be separated’’ I said, too loud. He quickly walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me. ‘’We won’t, I was just expressing what I wanted. If you’d say you wanna live with mum I would obviously live with mum too’’ he hugged me tighter ‘’we’re a team, you and I. I’m not leaving you’’.
