Louis' POV

I gripped my coffee mug tightly as I groggily moped around the room. Angela is literally my BEST friend along with Liam and Niall. There is something that Angela is hiding from me and I it just hurts because she said she didn't care that I was gay, and I can't help but wonder if the she is distant because of that fact. Just the thought makes my chest ache. Lately, I was rethinking my sexual orientation. I'm just so confused right now. I saw a girl at Liam's party last night and I even had to admit that she was H-O-T. I guess I misinterpreted my lack of coupley-like feelings for Angela. I just need time right now alone. The past month has been really confusing for me and I can't help but thank the Lord that I only told Angela and mum what was going on in my jacked up, confused brain. Whatever Angela is hiding, I don't think she would judge or keep it from me because of my orientation. That stupid Styles guy (the older one duh) hurt her or offended her I dont even know but whatever the heck he did, it made her unhappy and that genuinely pissed me off.

I thought about calling her or texting her. It was so unlike Angela to just cancel a hangout literally, an hour before. I trudged around the apartment. Completely bored.

I called up Angela, I heard her lively voice answer.

"Louis! Hey I'm sorry about last night....." her voice faded away as I heard creaking coming from the front door.

"Hang on Angela, don't hang up..." I tip toed towards the front of the house. My vibrant red front door was swinging from side to side, like someone left the door opened.

"Louis, is everything alright?"

"Yeah..." I whispered back. "HELLO? ANYBODY THERE?" I yelled throughout the house. I heard the floorboards above me creaking and straining under somone's weight. I padded up the stairs as quietly as I possibly could. Angela somehow had the brains to be quiet. I heard a loud crack behind me. My eyes widened at the horrific thing that towered above me. The bloodshot eyes were wild and physchotic, the unbearable stench wafted throughout the floor. I screamed as loudly as I could, but it was too late. The thing lunged at me and

Angela's POV

I heard thuds and screams. I frantically called out Louis' name. I heard tearing sounds, grunts and splatters. Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I sprinted to my car. Ignoring Harry's questioning glance. I could still hear pants and screams coming from the phone, and the sounds were gruesome. All of a sudden, everything became eerily silent. A gruff, evil voice came over the phone.
"Dear Angela, did I not tell you something would happen to those you held closest?" I stifled as scream as I turned into Louis's street. The voice cackled maniacally.

"See you soon... Angie" The voice whispered.

I pulled into the driveway of Louis building.

"LOUIS!!!! LOU!!!!" I ran through the first floor and what I saw next would scar me for life. Louis' lifeless body hung from the ceiling fan above me. A dark liquid was running down from his head. I screamed and screamed and screamed. I saw Louis' empty eyes staring back at me. YOu could see the dried tears that were on his cheeks. The sweater he was wearing was drenched in...you know what, his hair matted to his pale, colorless face. I don't know how long I just stood there. I called Harry in hysterics.

"H-Harry. P-please. I-Im S-scared. Please, L-louis..." That was all I could make out before I broke down again.

"I'm on my way Angela." I sunk down to floor, burying my head in my thin arms. I just stood their stifling my loud sobs. ABout 5 minutes later I heard a faint gasp coming from the doorway. Next thing I knew I was being caried bridal styles out the door to Harry's car.

I looked up and saw Harry's green orbs filling with tears as he pulled me close.

"I-it was h-him H-harry... My d-dad.."

"Shhhhh.... Don't speak." We curled up in the car. Both of us unsure of what to do. We could NOT involve the government in this. Too risky. But we also couldn't just leave my friends in the dark about Louis' death. That would simply be disrespectful to him and all good things left on this goddamn planet. I buried my face into Harry's hard chest, just letting myself drown in my sorrows.

ANONYMOUS POV

I stared at the two crying together in the car. I grinned. This was too perfect. I walked out of that boy's house. I must admit, he put up a fight before being slaughtered, which might i say is quite impressive. I looked at Angela sobbing and took it in. I could sense the terror I had caused.

Perfect.

Angela's POV

Harry carressed my cheek and lifted my face so I was looking at him.

"Here is what we are going to do babe, we're going to go back to your apartment quickly and we are going to lock Louis' door so nobody will try to visit. I know this is hard baby but I swear to you I will be there for you when you need me ok? Through the good, the bad, and the ugly?" He held out his pinky finger. Despite the situation, I rewarded him with a small smile and we interlocked pinkies.

"Pinky promise." I whispered.

We drove my car to my apartment. Harry drove since I was still to stunned and traumatized. I mean, there were so many things i wish I had said to Louis before he had died. I wish I could just spend a few more minutes with Louis because if I genuinely had to choose between him and the rest of my friends.

I would pick Louis.

Every damn time.

We sprinted into my apartment. Harry grabbed that stupid journal that started it all and opened it to the last page with all those random bloody words on the pages. On the page afterwards, I saw a different scrawl, different handwriting, kinder....handwriting....Louis' handwriting.
