Addiction - Louis Tomlinson (A.U)

- 17 -

Louis's POV

"The truth?"
Ellie says, her voice cracking slightly.

I nod as a smile spreads across my face.

"Okay."

------------------

Ellie takes a deep breath in.
I squeeze her hand to reassure her that I'm here for her.

"When I was around 15 or 16, I was kicked out of home. My idoit thing of a Father left my Mother and I when I was just starting Primary School, leaving my under paid Mother to attempt to pay for my education.That didn't last very long, Alcohol quickly invaded her brain, causing her to loose her job and take out her anger on me. I took up a job around the age of 10 just to be able to afford atleast three days of school. Then violence came in. She first hit me when I was 14. My supposedly best friend and I had just had a huge fight and she went and told my Mother that I was doing drugs and having sex with everyone at school, which was obviously wrong, actaully the complete opposite. I never wanted a relationship, never socialised with boys, stayed away from all the parties. You could say I was a hard working and dedicated kid for my age. All I wanted was a family who loved me. God I was so stupid back then. I should've left when I had the chance," Ellie sobbs as tears stream down her pale, bruised face. I squeeze her hand and wipe a few tears the fall down her red and puffy cheeks.

"Then one day, I came home and she just started screaming at me. "You're worthless! I hate you, you are a mistake! You're the reason your Father left!" Louis it was awful. She threw wine bottles at me and told me to never come back. My left arm was bleeding and I was in pain both emotionally and physicaly. I ran as far away from that awful place, Louis I ran so fast and stopped when I reached the city. I cried for so long on the street, feeling so... so alone and unwanted, unloved."

Ellie wipped her eyes with her spare hand as she continued.

"Then around 3am the next morning a man tapped my shoulder. He asked me what was my name and whether or not I wanted to live. Me, being a stupid teenager told a complete stranger everything that had just happened. The man whose name I learned to be Alex, took me in.

I remember everything Louis. I soon discovered that he was London's biggest drug dealer and only wanted me for business. Ever since then, I have been forced to work for this awful man, giving out drugs and collecting money and at one stage I-I was made t-to have sex with his clients." A loud sob escaped Ellie's soft lips.

Why didn't she tell me this before? I thought I could trust her.

"Ellie, he is an awful man. The things he made you do, they they are disgusting but you're with me now and I will keep you safe-"

I say with a smile and start to lean in to kiss her when I'm stopped by her hand pulling out of my own and pushing me lightly on my chest.

"NO LOUIS! YOU DON'T GET IT! You don't understand. He is still here, I can't escape the contract, Jesus I'm still working for him right now! He is watching me now! Alex has eyes everywhere Louis and I have dragged you into this mess," Ellie says. She sighs as she runs a hand through her long hair, her blonde colour now turning caramel.

"He want's me to ruin you Louis, but I can't do that."

I take a step closer to her and pull her close by tugging on her hand.

"And why can't you ruin me Ellie?"

"Because I am hopelessly in love with you Louis Tomlinson and I could never in a million years hurt you, yet I already have."

I press my lips to hers and push a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Louis, no you don't understand. I'm going to bring you and your company down. I'm a grenade for God sake!"

I sigh and take a step back.

"Ellie your past is your past and know one can change that. I know from experience that lies are just communication errors and I can learn to forgive for your mistakes. I also have know idea why this Alex guy wants to ruin me and my company but I do know why he used you. You want to know why? It's because you are beautiful Ellie and I love you so much, I just hope that this isnt a lie, us, this love that we have, I hope it is as real as me."

I turn on my heel and walk into my bedroom, shutting the door behind me and cutting everything in the world off.
