Olivia

The Divorce

Louis' POV
I look down at my grey suit and adjust my tie slightly.

Boy, was it getting hotter?

I look to my left and see Olivia sneaking on her phone. I roll my eyes and nudge her on the arm. She looks up and quickly hides her phone acting like she had noooo idea what I was talking about.

Idiot.

"40 minutes of your life, I'm sure you can last that long." I whisper really quietly. "No! But Danni and her boyfriend are in this massive fight and I have to know what happens!" She whines in a whisper. I look at her sternly and hold out my hand signalling I want her phone from her. She slouches her shoulders before handing me her phone that I brought her. She turns to the front and crosses her arms resting them there.
I turn to my right and see the others lined in height order. I chuckle to myself as I count all six of my sisters and my little brother on the end.
I focus my attention back to the front as the judge calls mum and dads case up. I brace myself to hear the final answer.

The court house was big as there were strangers sitting everywhere. My family took up a whole bench as there was that many of us.
"Johannah and Daniel Deakin." The judge says loudly. I saw them both stand from their seats and then sit back down. I sat as patiently as I could through the ceremony and soon the judge was getting louder.
"As in the presence of seven children this court has finally declared that Miss Charlotte Tomlinson, Pheobe and Daisy Tomlinson and Georgia Austin are in the custody of Johannah Deakin and Feliceté Tomlinson and Dorris and Ernst Deakin are in the custody of Daniel Deakin." He says. I look quickly to my right at all the girls and see them with their heads hung low. I look quickly to Olivia who had straightened herself up.

The judge left and we all left the building. "So that's it? It's over?" Daisy asks me. As we all stood out the front of the building as friends were hugging mum and all that. "Yeah, like that." I say giving her a hug. "But I don't want them to get a divorce." She cries slowly. "I know. I know." I say slowly too. I stand up as she walks over to Pheobe. "Hello? What about me?" Olivia says walking over to me. "What do you mean?" I ask confused, trying to calm her down.

"Me! Where am I going?!" She says even louder. I think for a minute trying to find the best way to tell her. "Louis! If you tell me I'm living on the streets I'm going to fucking kill you." She says sternly. "Liv, I gotta tell you something..." I say taking her over to the steps leading up to the door of the court house. She fixed her dress before looking at me right in the eyes. "Liv. Your coming to live with me. And the boys." I say. She looks at me weirdly for a while.
"Oh it's a joke! Ahahaha I get it. Actually I don't, what's funny about it?" She asks. "Liv I'm not joking. Mum asked if I would take you with me." I say.

"But Louis I don't want to go! I got my life here! I'm not leaving!" She says storming off in front of me. "Liv! Wait!" I say following behind her. "Now I want to live on the streets." She says pushing through the crowd. "Why don't you want to come with me? It'll be fun!" I say grabbing her wrist and turning her around. "But Louis! My boyfriend is here! My friends are here! My life is here in Doncaster! Not over the whole fucking world!" She says. A few spectators look at us but I ignore them.

"Liv I'm sorry but there is no other option. You are coming with me when I leave tomorrow." I say softly. "You can't take me away from here!" She finally yells.
