Life As We Know It (Louis Tomlinson Fanfic)

Chapter 9 - New Beginnings

"Louis, Zayn and I are going out on a date tomorrow."

I suddenly felt numb. Everything had just fitted together, the pieces of the puzzle all joined up now and everything made perfect sense to me.

Zayn's weird looks, Selena's sympathy for me. It was all just a joke.

She just felt pity for me.

Because the reality was that I was too late, Zayn had bet me to her, and the thought of that was more unbearable then the thought of Selena rejecting me.

I snapped and lunged at Zayn, pushing him into the wall.

Selena's P.O.V.

"Stop, STOP!" I pleaded. But it fell on deaf ears.

Zayn was lying on the floor defenseless while Louis kept on throwing punches at him, one after another.

Blood was starting to gush out of the wound on Zayn's nose.

It was all to much to handle, the two men that I liked, fighting against one another.

Another punch was thrown at Zayn, it didn't look like he had much of a fight left in him, the punches that Louis was throwing at him were to powerful to block.

"Stop please!" I screamed at Louis.

But once again he didn't listen, and instead threw another punch at Zayn's torso. It would be sure to leave a bruise in the morning.

Realising that Louis would stop at nothing to knock Zayn out unconscious I grabbed his shoulder.

He turned his head and stared at me in response. The look in his eyes was a look that I had never seen before. Those weren't the same eyes that I had previously been looking into, there was something more sinister embedded into them.

He was a completely different person.

Seeing Louis looking at me, I knew that I had revealed a weak point in him, he stopped throwing punches at Zayn long enough for me to pull back my leg and kick him in the nuts.

Immediately his eyes flickered back to the ones that I knew, the familiar Louis, erasing all traces of the evil that was in them a few seconds ago.

It only lasted a few seconds though as he crumpled to the floor in pain. He was writhing around and groping himself.

I took the advantage to go over to Zayn and gently pull him up into an upright position.

"Zayn, Zayn, can you hear me?" I gently spoke into his ear.

"Mhhhmm." An unnatural sound replied out of his mouth, he was obviously in to much pain to properly form words. Either that, or the gash on his lip was too swollen.

I briskly walked into the kitchen and grabbed the first aid kit and a cloth from the top cupboard.

Walking back to Zayn I took the opportunity to kick Louis in the balls one more time, sending him back into complete pain on the floor. That should give me a couple of minutes to sort out Zayn before I have a harsh talk with Louis.

I quickly cleaned up Zayn's face the best that I could, but nothing I did would be able to cover up the bruising on his face and torso that Louis had left on him. 

"Selena." He whispered gently.

"Yes Zayn." I replied, not wanting him to hurt himself any more.
