A.N.:
MY DOG HAD PUPPIES! If you want to watch a video of the one we named Boobear being really cute and adorable, there's a video on the side of this chapter...
Louis’s POV:
“Alright, one more time boys, and then you can take a break,” the stage manager called over to us. The music began and Liam started singing.
“Hey girl I’m waiting on you, I’m waiting on you
Come on and let me sneak you out…”
As soon as the last lyrics to “Live While We’re Young” were sung, we all sighed. We had been rehearsing for the past three hours, nonstop, and we were relieved that we would finally get a break.
“Okay boys, go on and rest for a bit,” the stage manager said, “Just be ready to start rehearsing again in half an hour.” We nodded and walked away from the stage we were practicing on.
“Listen, I’m going to go outside and get some fresh air,” I said, turning to head outside. It was stifling hot in here and I just really wanted to cool off.
“You want someone to come with you?” Liam called to me, “There are fans out there you know…”
“No, I’ll be fine,” I said. I walked out of a side door and down a hallway before I opened the door to go outside; the cool breeze hit my face and I sighed. I stepped out into what looked like an alleyway and closed the door. I went over to the opposite wall and leaned back on it, pressing my back to the cool brick wall. I closed my eyes and stood there for a little bit, just letting myself cool off.
“Fancy meeting you here Lou,” the familiar, sickeningly sweet voice said. I opened my eyes and saw Eleanor leaning on the door that lead back into the building. I looked over to my left and saw a way out of the alleyway and turned and ran towards it. But Eleanor grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me to the wall again, pinning me there.
“Leave me alone Eleanor,” I growled. She just smiled sweetly before roughly kissing me. I tried pushing her away, but she wasn’t fazed and continued to kiss me. I pushed her away again and this time she stumbled back a bit.
“Just go away!” I shouted, fed up with her, and took a step away. She grabbed my shirt again and pushed me to the wall. I tried to get away from her again, and when I did, she pushed me back and slapped me. Once. Twice. Three times. Each time she made sure to leave scratches on my cheek. She grabbed my wrists and held them to the wall and surprisingly, I couldn’t break free. She must have seen my confusion, because she chuckled.
“I’ve been working out with my partner,” she explained, “Speaking of Derek, I wonder how close he is to your precious Valerie, right this very moment.” I was about to respond when she kissed me again. I kept trying to get out of her grasp, but every time I managed to, she would slap me again.
“Hey Louis, Paul wanted me to-” Harry came outside and when he saw what was going on, he yelled into the building, “PAUL!” Eleanor let go of me and took off running as soon as she heard Harry’s yell. Harry walked over to me.
“You okay Louis?” he asked glancing at my cheek. I nodded.
“Yeah,” I muttered, gritting my teeth. The scratches were starting to sting. Paul came running out with a couple of other guards. When he caught sight of me he walked over to where Harry and I were standing.
“What the hell happened?” he asked.
“Eleanor,” Harry answered, “She went running that away.” He pointed in the direction Eleanor went. Paul instructed the other two guards to go and look for her and after they left, Paul led Harry and I inside.
“Sit down,” Paul told me, once we got inside. I did as I was told and Paul went to go and fetch an ice pack. The other boys came running over to where I was sitting.
“We heard Harry yelling, what the hell happened?” Zayn asked.
“What’s wrong with your cheek?” Liam asked, sitting down next to me.
“Eleanor’s been following me,” I grumbled. Paul came back with an ice pack and handed it to me. I gently pressed it to my cheek and hissed when the coolness touched the scratches. When Paul left, I turned to Harry.
“Can I borrow your phone?” I asked him. Harry handed it to me with furrowed eyebrows.
“Why?” he asked.
“I want to call Valerie and warn her,” I said as I scrolled through his contacts, “Derek’s been following her.” I found Valerie’s contact and called her. The phone rang, and rang, but she didn’t answer.
Valerie’s POV:
The girls and I were out shopping, walking past the shops, when someone tripped me, making me fall to the ground, twisting my ankle in the process.
“You okay Val?” Perrie asked. Holly and Kiara help me stand up, but when I put weight on my ankle, I hissed.
“My ankle just hurts a little,” I said. The girls and I looked over to who had tripped me and when I saw who it was, I froze where I was.
“Oh my God,” Holly gasped, “We gotta get out of here. Now.” Holly and Danielle helped me limp out of the shop and out to the car. We buckled up and Kiara drove away.
“Your ankle’s starting to swell a little,” Danielle said, looking at it, “We should probably get it checked out.” I nodded.
“Who was that?” Kiara asked, confused. Holly and I exchanged glances.
“Derek,” Holly said, “My brother.”
