Dim
A Louis Tomlinson Story

"I love you, Anna." I look into her light brown eyes.
"I love you too Louis." She smiles.
Anna looks into my eyes as a tear falls from her eye.
I pull her into my arms, whipping the tear shed.
"Anna, what's wrong darling?" I question.
She takes a deep breath. "Will you always love me?"
"Always. No matter what."
The light of day shines through the cracks of my closed curtains. It illuminates the dark bedroom. The used tissues and half eaten food surrounding me finally makes itself known.
It's morning.
Still mourning.
I turn around in my bed to face the clock.
11:20 am.
What day is it?
I pull out my phone from the drawer.
Looking through the cracked screen it reads November 10th.
One month one day.
"Louis I don't want to!" Anna giggles standing on the sidewalk.
"It's just ding dong ditch. It's not like we will get caught." I resolve.
"He's the principal!"
"He's not home." I grab her hand and skip up the steps.
I look at her and grin mischievously. I lift my hand and press the door bell.
"Run!"
The knocking on the door finally ceases after ten minutes.
They finally got the message.
I turn back around in my bed.
The door handle jingles. The door is pushed open.
Liam stands on the other side with a sub and bottle of water at hand.
"I want alcohol not water. I ran out last week." I mumbled.
"Louis you can't just sit in your room for the rest of your life."
"Liam, I don't want to hear another lecture."
"I don't care Louis. Why is it so dark in here?" Liam looks around at the mess. He walks to the window and pulls the curtains apart.
The light burns my eyes.
"Why is it so bright?" I turn the opposite direction and covert my eyes.
"It's 3 in the afternoon what do you expect?" He says dully.
"What's today?"
"November 15th" Liam checks his phone.
I just want to sleep. I want to sleep my life away.
I don't want to leave my room again.
The dark is too comforting.
"I don't wanna go out there Louis! It's too cold!"
"C'mon Anna. We're gonna be late! The reservation is at 6." I lead her to my waiting car.
