Don't call me Angel- Completed

Forty Eight

*Lu's POV*

There's not much I hate more than watching her walk away. But in that little white dress, barely covering her. And I know that swing in her step was for me. God she made it look so fucking good. How the fuck did I get so lucky. 

I continued watching her as she danced. I knew this is what she needed. The last few months had been so rough for her and now it was all over, she needed to let loose, enjoy it. Enjoy her freedom for once. We can worry about anything else tomorrow. Tonight was for her. 

"Dude." Z slapped my arm, pulling my attention away from her and back to them. I didn't want to pay attention to them. I wanted to watch her. I wanted my eyes on her constantly. When they weren't it felt like a piece of me was missing. Ever since the first time she looked in my eyes. It was the same sine then.

"Sorry. What?" I grabbed my bottle, taking a swig. I didn't drink beer normally. But I do when I'm out with her. I need to be as sober as possible to make sure she's safe. I can't look after her if I'm drunk. 

"We were talking about the game we missed last night." 

"Oh shit yeah. Did you get the scores?"  This conversation was dead. These guys were great, don't get me wrong. I think we'll be good friends but I just want to be with her right now. To dance with her, put my hands on her, hold her close. I'll go after this conversation. 

I didn't care about the scores. Or who scored whatever it was. I just didn't want to be rude to her family. I really needed them to like me. I needed to stay on their good side. I knew how important they were to her. She didn't have many family members. Not here. Not that she could trust anyway. 

I saw how she looked at the 3 siblings. Like they were her brothers and sisters. She told me once that she had no one. That she was alone. She wasn't She had these guys, and Nicky and Mia and now me. She didn't need anyone else. I nodded and smiled as they spoke, laughing when they did. 

I felt a finger prod me and spun my head round quickly. 

"I think Maddy wants you?" I looked at the girl then back to where she was pointing. Where was she? "She was just there." I stood up, looking around from the slightly higher table. 

No.

Fuck. 

Mads. 

I saw him pulling her from the club, tears streaming down her face as she mouth Arlo. 

"Fuck." I jumped over the table. "ARLO." I didn't even look back at the boys. They'd click on. I'm going to fucking kill him. I should have done it whilst I had the chance when we were here and he touched her the first time. I ducked around people following them as quickly as I could. I clenched my fists as I watched him pick her up. She was looking for me over his shoulder. Hoping I'd be her saviour. She didn't even have her fucking phone or bag on her. She left them with me at the table. 

For fuck sake. I ran out the club, looking both ways. Where are you taking her Arlo? Where is she? I heard a car door slam shut and looked down. There he was. My feet carried down through the parked cars and down the road. Memorise the number plate. Just get as much info as you can. I stopped and watched as he drove away with my girl. My Maddy. And I wasn't even there to fucking stop him. 

If I didn't take my fucking eyes off her. None of this would have happened and I could have gotten her out of there like before. I pulled my phone from my pocket. 

"Luc-" 

"Why the fuck is your son here Nicky?" 

"He's not-"

"Well he's just fucking pulled Maddy out a club crying, put her in a car and driven off." I ran my hands through my hair. Stay calm Luca. You'll find her. You have to. I walked back to the sidewalk, the 3 siblings now standing before me. 

"He can't be here. Where are you guys? Where did he take her from?" I looked up at the club and told him the name. "What was he driving?" I told Nicky the details walking up and down the distance of a car. What do I do? How do I find her when she has fucking nothing? "Luca. Are you there?" 

"Yeah I'm here." I let out a deep breath. Easy Luca. Easy. "You best fucking find him before me Nicky. I've had enough of his shit. If he so much as touches her-"

"We'll find her. He won't hurt her. I swear he won't hurt her. He loves her too much." I laid my head back. That's the fucking problem. He has no problem taking what he thinks belongs to him. She isn't his. She doesn't belong to him. She's mine. 

MINE. 

My Maddy. 

No one else's. That's why we moved down here in the fucking first place. 

"Keep your phone on. I'll make some calls." And just like that Nicky hung up. I screamed. I couldn't help it. Everything's great and then he steps back in and fucks it up again. Every fucking time we have an issue its him. 

God I was going to rip his fucking throat from his neck for this. For touching her, taking her away. He doesn't love her. Not like I do. He likes the idea of Maddelena. Not Maddy. He doesn't love Maddy. 

I love Maddy. 

Why the fuck did I wait 3 months to tell her that. 

God I'm so fucking stupid this is all my fucking fault. I looked down at my hand as Z pushed me against a metal fence. Where the fuck did that blood come from? 

"Lu?" I lifted my head to Pip. "You're going to find her, right?"  She was crying like I wanted to. But I can't find her if I'm crying. I nodded. 

Of fucking course I would. 

And I'd be making sure he can never touch her again too.
