Helena's P.O.V

It had been 3 whole weeks since I came back. 3 weeks living in hell. Me and Lilly were literally under house arrest by Joe. We hadn't felt the summers breeze hit our skin in ages, my naturally tanned skin was even beginning to look pale. I craved for the sun.

"Mummeh!" I high picthed voice yelled from upstairs.

Because of the 3 weeks stuck in the house, I had given myself the challenge to teach Lilly to talk, and so far she could say most basic words.

I made my way over to the staircase. "Coming Lilly!" I yelled up to her.

As I entered the familiar pink room I was greeted by an unhappy looking 2 year old. She was wearing her outfit I put her in this morning, light blue jeans, a frilly pink t-shirt with a white cardigan over the top. Lilly clutched her raincoat in one hand and her hat in the other.

"Park mummeh!" She screamed at me.

I walked over to her and took her jacket out of her hand, and placed her hat back in the door hook. I scooped her into my arms and hugged her close to me, slowly rocking her back and forth.

"Darling, you know we cant go out." I told her.

She started to squirm in my arms so I placed her back onto the floor. "Pwease mummeh, I want to go outswide!" The tears in her eyes started to brim around the edges.

The sight of my daughter crying made my heart break. Why should I let Joe trap me in here? Trap me like I'm some sort of prisoner?

I walked over to Lilly's wardrobe and pulled out a lighter coat and sun hat.

"Here hunny, put these on and your shoes while mummy gets her coat." I said while placing the coat and hat in her hands.

I jogged over to mine and Joe's bedroom and grabbed my hoodie and bag from the back of the door. When I got back into Lilly's bedroom she was just adjusting the strap to her sandals.

"Come on, lets get you in your buggy!" I told Lilly, the excitement was bubbling up inside me. We were finally going outside!

I carried Lilly down the spiral staircase settling her in her buggy when I reached the ground floor. A massive grin was set on her face, showing her bright sparkling baby teeth.

Just as I was about to push the buggy towards the door, my phone started to ring again. I pulled it out of my pocket and looked at the caller I.D.

Lou(:

I didn't hesitate to press the end button for the 5th time today.

Louis P.O.V

As I waited for the familiar sound of Helena's answer machine so I could leave another message, I was more then surprised to hear the sound of her answering it.

"Helena?!" I practically screamed down the phone.

No answer.

"Louis?" A voice asked from behind me.

I spun around to see the boys sitting around the kitchen table drinking steaming cups of tea. They all had questioning looks plastered on their faces.

"Shes- Helena-erm.. she's on the phone.." I mumbled to them.

I ran over to the kitchen table and placed the phone in the middle, making sure speaker was on before I took my seat next to Harry and Niall.

"Come on Lilly, time to go to the park!" Helena said happily. Obviously not aware she was on the phone.

"She sounds happy at least..." Liam said.

Before anybody else could say anything, the sound of a door slamming into a wall erupted through the phone speakers.

"Joe? What are you doing home so soon?" You could hear the panic in her voice.

"For my lunch? Wait ... Where do you think you're going?" His voice turned from innocence to anger in a matter of seconds.

"To the park.. we wanted to go to the park."

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT LEAVING THE GOD DAMN HOUSE HELENA?!"

"I know you said I couldn't, but Lilly really wanted to! And so did I. I'm sick of you treating me like a prisoner in my own home Joe! Let me out!"

We were all staring at the phone, listening to the argument.

"You're not going out this house, I don't trust you! How do I know you're not going to run back to your idiot ex?!"

"Because I don't love him! You know that Joe. Stop being such an idiot."

That was the last words we heard before the we heard a large thud followed by a blood curdling scream.

"YOU NEED TO LEARN YOUR PLACE IN THIS HOUSE, I'M IN CHARGE OKAY?"

There was no response, just another large thud followed by a whimper.

"No! You can't just abuse me like this anymore! Its been going on for a year now! I can't stay her another second Joe!"  We heard Helena shout.

After that all we heard was muffled sounds of thuds and whimpers. Lilly's screaming crys could be heard in the background as she watched her mother get beaten.

"Please stop Joe, please!" Helena begged.

Joe never responded, all we heard was the sound of glass being shattered near by the phone and then Helena's screams once again before it went quiet.

"Im going back out." Joe stated before the sound of the front door being slammed came through the phone.

"HELENA? HELENA!" I screamed into my phone.

All the boys were now frantically pacing the kitchen deep in thought as I carried on screaming her name down the phone.

After a few sounds of somebody shuffling around I finally heard her frail voice again.

"Lou?"

"Yes Helena it's me! Are you okay?" I frantically asked.

"N-no, I'm bleeding Lou, it hu-rts so much!" She cried.

"Where are you?!" I yelled while picking the phone up and placing it to my ear.

"Down south, near where we went on holiday that one time. Its a house on the beach, the one we dreamt of living in Lou."


I should of guessed she was there, we went there once summer, just me and her. Best friends on holiday together, no awkwardness. We'd found a small beach and saw the house of top of a hill, very secluded from the rest of the village. Just below it was the beach she was talking about, we'd dreamt of living there for years and I guess she finally got her dream to reality.

"Im coming for you Heleana! We'll be there soon!" I shouted frantically through the phone.

I was already up and into my bedroom packing my bag before I pressed end on the call.
