Forever In Their World [Sequel]

Jaylee's POV

"Jaylee.......Jaylee?"

I suddenly snapped out of the trance I was in as I blinked up at Liam and peered into his brown concerning eyes.

"What?" I asked, looking completely lost and confused.

"I asked where he hit you." Liam responded as he eyed my face carefully.

"Oh... ummm, my face." I spoke unsurely as I looked down at the floor while knitting my eyebrows together.

What am I going to do about Louis? He isn't getting better, he is getting worse. His jealousy is rotting inside his brain, making his behavior unpredictable. The fact that he's willing to hurt his own best friend just shows how unhealthy his mindset is. He needs to be stopped. But punching him and screaming at him doesn't do anything but fuel the fire.

He needs to be tamed. What is the only thing that can tame him? Not money, not power, not drugs, not a title..... nothing he already has is taming him. So what could it be?

"Jaylee?" Liam asked as I blinked back up at him.

My eyes expanded slowly as I came to a realization.
It's me.

"Sorry.... I'm still processing everything." I apologized as he quickly checked my forehead.

"Did you hit your head? You're acting kinda off." He stated as he looked deep into my eyes.

"No I didn't. I just-" I then slouched my shoulders as I gave up trying to explain everything I was thinking. I knew it would be too much for Liam to handle, especially since he has to take care of his team that is falling apart daily.

"So where?" Liam asked as he pulled out an ice pack.

"Oh- just my eye.... He slapped my cheek a couple of times but that's nothing new." I said as I pointed at my right eye that slowly began to throb.

"Do you think he hit you on purpose?" Liam asked as he leaned in and rested the cold material against my face.

"Honestly I don't think he did... he wasn't thinking straight and it was my fault for getting in the way. But that doesn't mean he didn't hit me." I informed as Liam nodded his head.

"Well Louis harming you is nothing new.... But him attacking Zayn is." Liam sighed before I licked my dry lips.

"Yeah.. they've been at each other these past two days." I breathed as I folded my hands together in between my lap.

"I can't seem to understand why. They're both getting out of hand. Louis being angry all the time is sort of common, but it's strange how Zayn is losing his chill. He is always collective. I think something is breaking inside of Zayn." Liam commented.

No, definitely not. It's all Louis.

"Or breaking inside of Louis." I stated as Liam looked at me carefully.

"He went through a rough childhood.... He never really recovered from it. He thought being in a gang would solve his problems or rather, take them away but.... Being abused as a child never really escapes your present situation." Liam said as I started to ponder over his words.

Please don't make me pity Louis right now. He is being a complete asshole to everyone.

"I know he loves all of us. Even though he is troubled he really does care for his friends and protects them. He was always good to us no matter how much of a prick he could really be. We just learn to forgive him." Liam explained as I looked down.
