Mr. Styles

Chapter 24

Collins' P.O.V.

"Did you wash your hands?" I asked Elena seeing her come out of the bathroom.

She nodded her head. "Can I have gummies?" I grabbed her hand and lead her down into the kitchen. "You have to eat something first and then you can have gummies afterwards. Okay?"

We entered the kitchen and I frowned seeing a few others there. Elena isn't really comfortable around everyone else and it can sometimes trigger her anxiety. It bothers me how cruel they are to her. It's like she's invisible to them... all because of Greg.

Elena whimpered moving closer to me. I mentally groaned forgetting that I didn't put any pants on her. I wrapped my arms around her small frame and kissed her hair. "It's okay," I whispered. "You're okay. I'll make your sandwich really fast and then we can go back to my room and put on a movie and eat some gummies. Maybe I can read you a book. I know how much you love to read."

She held onto me tightly as I went over to the counter to grab all the ingredients. I'm glad I made a grocery run before hand because Elena only eats peanut butter and jelly if its the one that's mixed in the jar. I remember Greg made that very clear when we all first started hanging out together.

Of course us all hanging out didn't last long.

"What the fuck is going on here!?"

I frowned hearing the all too familiar voice. Greg.

He smiled when we made eye contact. "Seems like you like sloppy seconds."

I could feel my anger boiling. I pulled Elena closer to me hearing her start to cry. Tears were already streaming down her cheeks. "I-I want Mr. Styles..." she whimpered.

"Baby you're okay. I won't let anything happen to you."

Greg looked from me to Elena with a scowl. "Baby?" he chuckled darkly. "We're using pet names now..?" He took a step closer causing me to gently push Elena behind me. "Why the fuck are you even here Greg? Styles kicked your ass out and you come back for another round... how fucking stupid are you?"

He chuckled darkly and scratched the back of his neck. "I'm here for Elena."

I shook my head. "She's not going anywhere with you. You're not even supposed to be here. If Styles sees you, he will fucking kill you. You don't need Elena and Elena sure as hell doesn't need you. On top of everything else, you have Lucille. Take Lucille if you have to and just go."

Greg smiled and looked down at Elena who was tucked away behind me. "Princess," he said softly. "You know you need me. Who's gonna help you wash your hair or bring you dinner when you're hungry? Don't I always take care of you?"

She didn't say anything.

He's trying to brainwash her like he always did. The fuck is his problem?

I was about to speak but Elena quickly let go of her tight grasp on my arm and ran up the stairs.

Mr. Styles' P.O.V.

"I want this submitted to me by Friday. Liam run by the warehouse with Zayn and see if that fucker has my money. If he doesn't kill him."

I read over the papers in front of me and rolled my eyes. Idiots.

I cleared my throat. "This isn't-" I was cut off by the door opening. Elena peeked her head in. She seemed to be frightened by the amount men in the room. Her lips were in the most adorable pout and her cheeks were drenched in tears. The room seemed to be more silent than it was before.

Her eyes met mine and before I knew it she was in my arms clutching my buttoned shit tightly in her tiny fists. I mentally face palmed. I can't deal with this right now. I sighed and pulled her tighter against me. "What's wrong Ellie? Why the tears?" She snuggled closer to me and whimpered. "I-I miss you... a-and you taking a long time to finish meeting.." I kissed her forehead forgetting that we weren't the only two people in the room. "Aw I'm sorry honey. I'll be finished soon. Can you be a good girl and go wait for me in my room?"

She quickly shook her head. "I-I can't.."

I raised an eyebrow. Did she just tell me no?

"Baby.." I mumbled. I sighed feeling her body shake against mine as she cried harder. "N-No please don't make me... G-Greg is out there and I'm scared.."

My anger boiled... What?

A/N: Heyyyyy

OMG I'm so scared for Greg right now!!!

Isn't Collins just so sweet with Elena....?

Is it just me or was Mr. Styles a little frustrated when Elena interrupted...? I'm glad he wasn't harsh with her though...
