Chapter 10

We pulled into the school's parking lot. "I'll go get her babe." "I'll go with you though because you need to act like your sick." "Alright." I grabbed his hand as we walked into the building. As soon as we walked in, I heard "Mummy!! Daddy!!" "Hey sweetie." Louis said picking her up. "We need to talk to you baby girl." "'Bout what mummy?" "You'll see soon."

"Tell me!!" She said, holding Perrie close to her. We sighed and sat her down on the couch. We sat on either side of her. "I-uh...babe, will you tell her?" I nodded and scooted so I was in front of her. "Daddy's going on tour..." "B-but doesn't that mean daddy will be gone for a long long time?" I nodded. She looked up to him with big eyes. "D-daddy?? I don't want you to leave." "I don't want to leave either sweetie." He said, tears threatening to come down. "Why can't I come like last time??" "You're in school now." She cried harder. She looked over at me. She put her arms out and I picked her up. Louis pulled us into his lap. "Oh my girls...Alyssa?" "Y-yeah?" "Can me and mummy talk in private?" She nodded. "Give me a kiss first." She smiled lightly and kissed him. "Thank you sweetie." She hugged me tight and walked up the stairs. "Babe...how long have you known?" "Um, a month." "So you knew before we started dating??" "Yeah......wait, babe you don't think-" "Yeah, I kinda do." I said agitated. "It sounds like you just needed someone to watch Alyssa while you were gone." "Babe, no, no, no. You know that's not true. It was just pure coincidence. I love you. I love you with all of my heart. You've gotta believe me love." I looked away. He sighed and turned me around so I was straddling him. "Babe, please look at me." I slowly did so and our eyes met. He leaned in and kissed me passionately. "Babe, you've gotta know I love you. I didn't use you, and never will." I slowly nodded and kissed him. "I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry." "It's okay. I understand..." "I love you Boobear." He smirked. "I love you too. I guess you're using the nickname now?" "Does it bother you?" "Nope, not at all." "Good." I got off him. "Where ya going?" "WE are going to visit someone." "And who would that be?" "Let's just say Alyssa's favorite uncle." He smirked. "Harry." We said in unison. We walked into her room. "Hey Alyssa, would you wanna have a sleepover tonight?" She jumped up and down. "Would that make you feel better?" She nodded. "Who with?" "Uncle Harry?" "YAYY!!" "I'll go call him babe." "Alright Em." I walked downstairs and dialed his number. "Hey Emily." "Hey Haz...would you mind a certain little girl spending the night?" "Of course not! As long as her daddy doesn't mind her staying in my bed." "Why would he mind?" "I sleep shirtless." "Ahh, let's just pretend I told him." "Haha alright. What're you two doing? Ooh, I know." He said mischievously. "Oh shut up. That's not why." "Whatever." "We just wanted a night alone." "Oh alright. I'll see you soon then!" "Alright. Bye Harry."

"Bye Alyssa!!" "Bye mummy!!" "Bye Alyssa!!" "Bye Daddy!!" Right as we were about to leave, I felt her hand on my arm. "Love you mummy. Love you daddy." "We love you too." We kissed her sweetly and waved as we walked out. "So Lou what are we gonna do?" "Movie night?" "Perfect." I kissed him sweetly. "I'm sorry again for earlier." "Babe, it's alright. As long as you know I really love you." I nodded. "I do." He smiled. "Good." We climbed into the car and immediately our hands found each other. Soon, Strong placed on the radio. "This song reminds me of you." I smiled, blushing. "Thanks Boo." I leaned over and kissed him. As we pulled into the driveway, I noticed the light on. "I thought we turned them off." "I did too...I know I did...babe, you stay out here." "Lou, no. I'm going inside." "What if it's a robber?" "I doubt it. We probaly just left the lights on." He sighed and stared me down. "Alright. Alright. Let's go." He held my hand as we walked inside. "Hello?!" I heard a floorboard creak. "Lou? Did you hear that?" "Yeah, let's go upstairs." I nodded. As we entered the hallway on the second floor, I noticed Alyssa's light was on. "Lou-" "I see. Stay here." I nodded and he walked into the room. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?! I'm calling the cops. You've gone too far. Way too far." "No Louis!! I can't go to jail!!" "Yes you can and you will." I walked in. Mackenzie.
