Rolling With The Punches
Zebras, Cancer And Dinners
*Louis’s POV*
We pulled into the drive way of a small house that Ashley had texted us the address of. The boys and I stepped out of the van and walked slowly too the door. I looked at the single story stone house, with brown window frames and a red door, as I walked the stone path that lead from the drive way to the door. Liam reached out and knocked on the perfectly painted, firry red door. “Hey boys!” Jacob said as he opened the door and pulled us each into a bro hug. We walked through the door and I looked around. There was just one open space. A small living room; consisting of tan couch, 2 matching tan chairs, and a small flat screan hung above a stone fireplace; on the right and a small kitchen and a table with 6 chairs around it, on the left. Three wood doors stood in the walls. One on each side of the fire place, witch im guessing is are the girl’s bedrooms, and one between the living room and kitchen, witch I figured was the bathroom.
"Uncle Jacob, can we play soccer now?" She asked as she walked out of the left bedroom, ball in hand. Jacob ran his hand through his hair and closed his eyes, signs that he dident want to play. "Ill play with you Bella." I cooed to her. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out the sliding glass door on the side of the livening room. She ran abbot to yards in front of me before she started to kick the ball around, trying to keep it away from me. I chased her around the yard "trying" to get the ball back from her but failing, making her erupt in fits of lighter. She suddenly stopped and she looked up at me with serious eye. "Louis, why do you always were stripes?" She asks ekes. "Because I secretly want to be a zebra." I told her with all serious in my voice.
I heard someone start cracking up behind us and turned around to see Jamie leaning against the door farm with a big smile. She still didn't look fully herself, but the color started to return, her blond hair stared to shin a bit and her eyes we back to joy. "Bella, come inside and wash up. Jacob is almost done with lunch.” she said then moved out of the way as Bella flew past her. "A zebra hu?" She teased as I walked past her.

"Hey ash, you can still watch Bella tonight, right?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen. "Yes, but I wanted to celebrate with you!" The redhead whined back. "Im not celebrating anyways."I replyed with a giggle. "Why would you be celebrating?" My brother asked with his back to her as he stirred something in a pot. "That I beat the cancer." I said nonchalantly. Everyone froze, other then Ashley who obviously already knew. Jacob slowly turned around and looked at me wide eyed. "What?" He asked slowly. "Did she stutter?" Ashley asked with attitude clear in her voice from beside me. Everyone laughed as I was pulled into a group hug. "Anyways, were are you going if your not celebrating?” Ashley asked me confused. “I have to be at work in twenty, and then I thought I would go to the gym for a few houres.” I told her. “Whatever ill pick you up from the gym at eleven, now go before you are late to work.” We said as she pushed me to the door. I quickly turned back and shot a wave to the pop stares in my kitchen, which by the way I have no idea why they were here, and quickly speed out the door and waked down the block to the diner.
