Louis prologue

This story starts when these two saw each other. But officially much more before. When they noticed each other. There were no words or communication but understanding between the two of them from the start.

🌸•🍒•🌸

Louis was always the central person in every group he was in. He always had to call the atention on himself so he could have fun. He was always the funny guy in his friend group and he didn't mind it. Life is better if you know how to enjoy it. He had a big family with his sisters in it, so he was used to some action always. A laugh here and there, sometimes crying because of not agreement but always love, love and love. He'd handeled love very well, which came from his family but not other. He knew how to love, give everything and let himself being loved by his family but no more. And he felt perfecly fine with that.

He was a usual eighteen year old boy with his stupid things, and crazy friends in his own world. He had two important and unstoppable hobby. He was one of the best players in the schools' football team and he had a band called 'the rogue' in which he was the leadsinger. Beside those he didn't really take anything seriously. Not only the girls but the boys enjoyed his company and spent as much time as they could with him.

This weeks monday was a really special day. In the morning there was a big colourful paper pinned in the front hall. The kids were gathering around it so close, that Louis had to take his time to see what's this all about. It was a call for the 'Battle of the bands'. This competition took place somewhere different every year. Different schools' bands competed not only for the trophy but mostly for the recognition which they got for the first place in return. They made a big deal of it. It was kind of a big deal actually, especially now. This year Louis' school had the chance to organize it. This was the first time over the last few years and everyone was pretty excited about the fact.

In their school Louis' band was the strongest. Everyone knew them and cheered for them every time. "Heyy Tommo. If we bring the same as last year we'll surely win." Jackson said quite loud while he was pushing the other students out of the way. He was the band's guitarist for almost two years now. He knew how to play with the strings that's a fact. Louis put an arm around his shoulder as he was nodding in agreement. They weren't boasted but they knew their worth.

They headed straight to the music hall to fill the application form, and collected Nick on their way, who was flirting with a random girl in front of his locker. "Have you heard the big news me boy?" Louis caught his wrist while walking dragging him along with them in the hallway. He was upset about being interrupted but then told them that was the reason he was talking to Jessey in the first place. "Rock star life you know? Comes with it" he said jokingly, holding the door for them too go inside.

They were the first to apply of course who would think, so they headed to their first lesson quite pleased with themselves. Louis wasn't really interested in learning when he didn't like the subject so he usually spent his time drawing, humming or throwing pieces of paper to the front desk until the teacher noticed it and he had to collect it in front of the whole class, what he didn't mind. He loved the attention from others and making fun of everything.

After their classes finished they stayed in the music hall to practice songs and just to throw some chips around, so then they can eat it from the floor. Sometimes they put it on the drum cymbal and then hit the drum trying to catch it with their mouth. It was a lot of fun and they spent more than much time with it then it was necessary. The only problem; Louis was running late from his practice with the football team. When he arrived a bit disheveled he told coach Houston that they were practicing so hard for the competition with the boys that they lost track of time so after he had warmed up and and the coach made him run 3 laps he let him play with the boys.

It was quite hard; being everywhere at the same time. He was usually late and he didn't really have time for anything outside school. He hated that he had duties. He only liked to spend the time with things he felt right about. It disturbed him much more than finding long hair in the sink every single day. He loved the girls though. Wouldn't change it for being an only child or a house full of boys. It is what it is after all, and he didn't mind.

They didn't really do much during practice tho. They passed the ball more than they could count and played three little matches, each 10 minutes long. After a long stretching session they picked up their bootles beside the bench and headed towards the locker room. He didn't really plan doing anything during the afternoon so he said his goodbyes and left as quickly as possible.

He didn't live far from the school, if he walked it took him 12 minutes, if he run cause he was late it could be 7, but today he decided that he's gonna take the bus no matter how much he has to wait in the bus stop. He didn't feel like walking after a pretty long day. He had waited 10 minutes for the bus to come when it finally arrived and picked him up.

He went three stops and the bus almost put him in the entrance of his house. He was quite lucky with that. When he opened the door he noticed that his mum had already taken the twins from school, and Lottie went away with Fizzy and of course their dad accompanying them with some money to do some girly shopping afternoon as they would say.

He took off his shoes tossing his backpack beside the door and going straight to his mum to give her a big hug and leave kisses on her cheeks. It was their routine and he wasn't about to break it ever. His mum meant the world to him although they fought sometimes she was there for him every time and supported him in everything he did or wanted to do. She was the best he could have asked for.

When the girls heard him saying "Hi" from the door, they jumped on their feet and ran towards him like tornadoes. He loved them so much "How was school today my little ones?" He asked gently while giving them both a big hug. They started talking past each other with big smiles on their faces. He really wanted to ask them about it individually and listen carefully like a good big brother but he was so tired, he just smiled back at them and tried to not miss anything they said.

The twins easily got bored so after four minutes they started talking about totally random things which were connected to their game they played before Louis arrived so after saying "we have to discuss this" they went back to their room hand in hand of course like good sisters, leaving Jay laughing with tears and Louis smiling after them tiredly. Girls can be so dramatic sometimes.

Louis went straight to his room after saying sorry to his mum for leaving her alone, but he told her he was really tired and had to finish some of his homework. When he finally laid down in his bed he realized that he forgot his bag downstairs but he was too tired to go down again so he fell asleep with his socks on. It was quite awful actually.
