I'm Fine | Larry Stylinson

Chapter 2

Louis opened the door to his house and headed straight for the kitchen.

"Louis is that you?" Lottie asked from upstairs.

"No, it's your fellow friendly robber that for some reason has the keys to your house," Louis said sarcastically opening a soda from the fridge

He heard Lottie making her way downstairs

"Louis how was school?" She asked

"Fine" Louis said

Ever since their mother died Lottie had tried acting a lot older than she actually was

She was currently 11 while Louis was 18 but she still was always there for Louis.

"Umm Louis, can you drive me over to Stacy's house?" Lottie said not wanting to cause Louis any trouble.

"Ya let me just eat first," Louis said preparing himself a sandwich

"Has um Mark been out of the house today Lottie?" He asked afraid to hear the answer

"No not today," Lottie said patting Louis shoulder in reassurance

Louis let out a breath of relief. You see after Jay had passed away Louis stepdad Mark had become an alcoholic and constantly went out driving while drunk. Nothing had happened yet but they didn't want to take any chances.

"Alright let's go," Louis said to Lottie grabbing the car keys

Once he dropped Lottie off at her friend's house he drove over to the grocery store to pick up some more food.

Once he drove home he entered and heard yelling and crying.

He quickly ran upstairs to see Fizzy on the floor with Mark stood over her

"What were you doing in my room Fizzy!!" Mark yelled at her clearly drunk

"I-I was looking for something," Fizzy said crying

"What were you looking for?!" Mark yelled again as Louis watched in horror

"F-for f-f-for" Fizzy started but Mark lost his patience and slapped her across the cheek

Fizzy screamed and began crying harder than before.

Louis ran over and pushed Mark away from Fizzy hugging her tightly.

" Move out of the way Louis!!" Mark yelled trying to go back into his position

"What the hell Mark?!" Louis yelled at him

"Why would you hit her she's only 9 fucking years old!!" Louis continued

"She's my fucking daughter Louis and I can do whatever the hell I want with her," Mark said reaching for Fizzy

But Louis pushed him away

"Stay the fuck away from her Mark. Don't you think you've hurt her enough?!" Louis said clenching his jaw

"Fuck off Louis," Mark said simply and returned back to his room.

Louis looked down at Fizzy she was crying hysterically and clutching her cheek.

"Shh shh Fizzy it's okay it's okay," he said removing her hand from her cheek and inspecting it.

Her cheek was bright red and he could tell that there was gonna be a bruise on her cheek.

"Oh Fizzy I'm so so sorry," Louis said wanting to cry

"It's not your fault Lou," she said as her cries turned into whimpers.

"Cmon Fiz lets get you to bed you're not going to school tomorrow alright," he said

"Why?" Fizzy asked letting Louis pick her up bridal style to put her in her room she and Lottie shared.

"Well tomorrow I'm gonna take all of you to the ice cream shop and then we can go to the park to play and do whatever your heart desires," Louis said tickling Fizzy

She squirmed in his arms and started giggling

"Stop it, Lou," Fizzy said still giggling

"Alright," Louis said

He set her down on her bed and kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight Fiz," he said as he closed the door

He sighed as soon as the door was closed. Feeling a tear slipping down his check and this time he didn't wipe it away. He just stood there letting himself cry for the first time since his mother died.
——-
Omg Louis is such a good brother. Love him. But Mark is probably a lovely man irl but it's just a story and I needed to make Louis's life really sad for the plot to work so I thought hey alcoholic abusive dad that's a classic. Sorry that was insensitive. And Louis didn't cry when Jay died because he had to stay strong for the girls.
