SPIES UP YOUR WORLD (Louis Tomlinson // One Direction)

CHAPTER 27

Louis

The boys and I went to Las Vegas to take a break, but for all I know, they want me to just feel better, and it does not work.

I sneaked out of my room to go to the hotel bar and have some drink since the boys are trying to stop me from drinking. I don't think I have been sober since she left me.

"Starka, please." I told the bartender and he handed me one.

I roamed my eyes around the bar to see if there's someone I could take back to my room, I badly want someone right now.

Instead of a stranger, I saw a very beautiful lady sitting on the other side of the counter. She's alone and so much more beautiful. She's wearing a blue gown and her hair color is now brownish and it suits her very well.

I know I'm drunk but I'm very much certain that it's her.

"Paige..." I whispered to myself. Oh, how I missed her.

I hurriedly stood up and went to her, I grabbed her hand and her face looked surprise.

Max

"Louis?"

I was surprised when someone grabbed my arm and when I faced that someone, I am more surprised to see Louis.

Poor Louis. He's so wasted. Oh, I missed him so much. His eyes are tired and about to cry. It kills me to see him like this. But I am on a mission. I can't just give in. All I want is for this mission to end.

"Let's talk please." He begged me. I'm about to cry also but I must show him no remorse. He must stop for now.

"Louis, I'm in a middle of something." I coldly told him.

That's when I heard Harper talked on my earpiece. "We'll handle this. Go talk to him."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Okay. This is it.

"Let's talk outside." I told him and he just weakly nodded. Damn it. Why have I done to him? He seems weak and devastated. I hate myself for what I did to him.

We went at the hotel's parking lot to talk. I don't know what lie I'm gonna tell him now. If only I could just tell him the truth and make everything less complicated, but it would not be.

"Why did you leave me? What did I do to you? Did I say something that hurts you? Tell me, Paige!" He exclaimed. We are now both crying. I don't know how to answer him. He didn't do anything bad to me, he's the best. I'm just not the person he thought I was. "Stop crying for Pete's sake! Answer my damn question!"

"Louis..." That's all I could say. I pulled him into a hug and I felt that he hugged me back.

I can hear him sobbing. "I just can't believe you left me."

"I'm sorry, Lou." I whispered in his ears. When we pulled away, I saw someone pointing a gun at Louis' back.

I suddenly grabbed the gun in my leg holster and pushed Louis on his left. I shot the person and saw Louis' eyes grew large and I dragged him somewhere to hide.

"What was that? Why do you have a gun? Was he about to shoot you?" He asked me. He's panicking right now and I can't blame him.

"Stay here. Don't go anywhere. I'll come back for you." I told him and gave him a kiss on the lips.

When I was about to stand up, Louis pulled me towards him and gave me a more passionate kiss.

After that, he hugged me and whispered in my ear, "Is your real name Max Pryde?"

His question surprised me. How did he know? Does he know everything about me now? Screw this! Okay, guess I just have to tell Louis everything later.

I nodded at him, "Yes. But I'll tell you everything later. Just don't leave this spot. I'll see you later, okay?"

"I love you."

Those words made my heart beat so fast. Now I have another motivation to get this done. "I love you too, Lou." I told him and I went away.

I went out of where Louis is hiding to find the person who tried to shoot him.

"Gaven? Derek? Any sign?" I asked them but then the signal was jumbled and I cannot hear them properly. "Harper? Keith? Clay? Guys?"

I was trying to reach out when suddenly I felt someone smacked my head with something and everything went black.

————————

I don't know how long I've been passed out. My eyes are so heavy now and I feel like I'm being tied up somewhere. Great.

"Max? Paige?" I heard Louis voice calling me and when I opened my eyes, I saw him sitting in front of me. Someone beat the heck out of him. His face and shirt are full of blood.

That's when I felt a pain on my head. I looked at my shoulder and it has blood as well. "Damn it! Louis are you okay?"

"Yes, your head is bleeding." He told me. This man is weird! His body is covered with blood but he still managed to feel worried about my head bleeding?

I shook my head and said, "Your whole damn body is bleeding."

He just chuckled and that made me smile. Even if our lives are in great danger, he can make me feel safe. But I want him to get out of here, I want him somewhere safe.

"So, how did you get here?" I asked him casually. I don't want him to think that I'm scared for us and the baby. I want to tell him now about our baby but now is not the right time.

"Someone forcefully dragged me into a van and beat me." He chuckled again. My eyes are now full of tears. I can't imagine Louis being part of this shit.

"You've got to escape, Lou." I said with a shakey voice. I felt a lump on my throat, and another word, I'll definitely cry.

He shook his head and gave me an assuring smile, "We've got to escape. I am not leaving you here."

"No, I can handle myself. You know I have been..."

I am not yet done talking with Louis interrupted me, "I am not leaving you, Max."

I saw his eyes full of tears, and that's when I burst in to tears. How could I be the reason of this man's pain? How could I be the reason of the love of my life's pain????

"If it isn't Romeo and Juliet." I heard Orren's voice and when I turned to the door, I saw him walking and slowly clapping his hands. "That's just so sweet. And oh, Louis, way to go for taking care of my ex-girlfriend." He kneeled in front of me and held my chin.
