Chapter 9
*
I saw Mackenzie, strangling Alyssa. She was crying for help but I was unable to move. I felt paralyzed as I watched this little girl, my little girl getting killed. I sobbed and yelled for Louis but nobody came. She turned to look at me and laughed. She had a devilish smile and let Alyssa fall to the ground. I cried harder, looking at the sight in front of me. She ran out the door. I saw an image of Alyssa in front of me. She asked, "Mummy, why didn't you save me?" "I tried honey!! I'm soo sorry!! I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry baby..."
*
I was shook violently. I screamed, remembering Alyssa's horrible fate. Tears were coming down my face. "Babe, what's wrong? Why are you sorry?" "Mummy? What's wrong??" I sighed in relief and pulled her into my arms. "Mummy? Are you okay?" "I'm fine now..." Louis looked at me concerned. "Babe, are you alright?" "I'll explain later." He nodded and kissed my forehead. "Alyssa honey, would you switch spots with your mum?" She did so and laid against me. He wrapped his arms around me tightly, and kept me as close as possible. "What ever happened, is done now and gone. Everything is fine." I smiled at how sweet he was being and kissed him. I traced some tattoos on his arm and fell back asleep contently.

I woke up to an empty bed. I got up and scuffed downstairs to see Louis on the couch. "Where's Alyssa?" "School." "But I'm her teacher..." "Not today." "What?" "I called and told them you were sick." "What? Why?" "Don't worry babe. C'mere." I did so and sat beside him. "You don't need to go today." "Yes I d-" "No." "Louis, why did you tell them I was sick?" "Because I love you, and besides, I wanna hang out today. Do you?" I nodded my head, smiling. "I don't deserve you." "Awh now don't say that. It's the other way around love. You're the most beautiful, caring, nice, and smartest woman I've ever met." I blushed and gripped his hand. "So will you tell me what your dream was about?" I sighed and nodded slowly. "I saw Mackenzie strangling Alyssa...I-I tried to help, but was paralyzed and when I called for you, nobody came. Then after Mackenzie left her to die, I saw a figure of her asking why I didn't help her. That's why I was saying I was sorry." He pulled me into his lap and kissed my head. "You okay now?" I nodded slightly. "Whenever I saw her, I immediately felt better." He smiled. "You sound just like her mum." I laid my head on his chest. "That's what I'm aiming for." We sat in silence for a moment. "Would you ever want to?" "What?" "Ya know......get married." "Are you being serious?" He looked away. "Yeah, I-uh, just never mind..." "Lou-" "No, it was my mistake. I'm thinking way too fast." He got me off him gently and stood up, walking towards the steps. "Babe-" "No, it's fine. I messed up..." "Lou you didn't even let me answer." He stopped realizing I was right. "I would. A little later in life, but I would. I really would." He turned back towards me, a giant smile plastered on his face. He walked over to me and picked me up. "I'm glad, because I want to." I smiled. "I can tell." He kissed me hard and we started making out. "Hey guess what?" He asked pulling away. "What?" "We are going to go explore." "Oh really? Where to?" "My parent's house." I laughed. "Alright babe." He carried me upstairs and sat me on the bed. He grabbed some clothes. "Now?" "Right now." I smiled and grabbed some clothes while he went into the bathroom. I changed into some jeans and a tee. The door opened as soon as I was slipping on my shirt. "Shit, I forgot you were in here." "Babe, it's fine, I just put my shirt on." He opened the door the rest of the way and walked over to me. "I must warn you, I've got 4 little sisters." "Yay! How old??" "Well, Lottie is 17, Fizzy is 16 and the twins, Phoebe and Daisy are 11." I smiled. "I'm sure I'll love them." "I'm sure they'll love you." I snaked my arms around his waist. "Guess what?" "What?" "I love you." He smiled and kissed me sweetly. "I love you too."

As we shut our car doors, the front door opened. Four screaming girls ran out to hug Louis, who seemed to be their favorite person. "Hey girls. I haven't saw you in a while." "We know! We missed you so much!!" One of the twins said. He kissed them all then looked over at me. "Girls, there's someone I'd like you to meet." They followed his gaze and stared at me for a second. The next thing I knew was that I was engulfed into a hug. "Hi!!" "Hello! I'm Emily." "We know, Louis' told us a lot about you." I smiled at him. "I'm Lottie." The tallest one said. "I'm Fizzy." "And we're Phoebe and Daisy. I'm Daisy." "Oh alright! You must be Phoebe then." They all got off of me and smiled. I walked over to Louis whose hand found mine quickly. "Let's go see my mum." We walked in to see a middle aged lady on the couch. She looked pretty, really. We walked over, get not noticing us yet. "Mum? Lou's home." She immediately stood up and saw Louis. She ran over to hug him. "I miss you so much Boobear." "I missed you too mum." She looked to me. "So you're the famous Emily." I blushed and shook her hand. She laughed and pulled me into a hug.
-Louis' POV-
"Come see our rooms!" "Alright. I'll as you in a minute babe." She said laughing as they drug her up the stairs. She looked back at the last second and smiled at me. I waved as she went upstairs. "You love her don't you??" "Yeah I do...Alyssa was in an accident..." "What?! Was it Mackenzie??" "No. She just fell at the park." "Oh my goodness!! Is she okay??" "Year mum she's five. She had some memory loss." "Did she remember you?" "Yeah, and she forgot something about Emily." "What?" "She thought Emily was her mum." "What'd you tell her?" "I was going to tell her she wasn't but Em said it was fine so I let her believe it." She smiled. "That's cute Lou." I smiled. "So do you see yourself with her in say, 5 years?" "Definitely. I hope so anyway. I think she's the one." She smiled. "Well, I'm glad you found somebody worth it." "Trust me, I did." I heard some footsteps down the stairs. "Tell me more about her later." "Alright mum." I looked over at her to see her taking to Lottie. She soon walked over to me. She kissed me quickly. I smiled down at her. We all talked for about another hour before I remembered picking up Alyssa. "Well, I think we should
get going. We'll have to go pick Alyssa up." "Oh alright. I'll see you later honey." "Alright mum." I kissed her cheek and hugged all the girls. Then, they all clung to Emily. "Bye girls." "Bye Emily!" As we were walking out, she sighed. "What babe?" "Did they like me?" "They loved you. Just like I do." She smiled and kissed me hard. "So Boobear huh?" I blushed. "Oh yeah. That's a old childhood nickname." She smirked and grabbed my hand.
-Emily's POV-
"It's cute." "Why weren't they at school?" "Oh, they had teacher meetings today." I nodded. "Babe, I need to talk to you..." "Yeah?" "Would you be able to watch Alyssa for a while?" "Of course but why?" "I-uh, I'm going on tour..." "How long is it?" "7 months..." "Boo! No! I don't want you to be gone." "I don't want to be gone either but I have to." I sighed. How am I going to do this?
