I Love You, I Just Can't Tell You Right Now

Chapter One

~Hey guys! So I've had this idea for a  while and I finally wrote it! I hope you enjoy it. It will be written in Adelyn's POV unless stayed otherwise. I realllly hope you like it :) ~

Tossing and turning. I only had one dream, or should I say nightmare, since that night. Three and a half years and I sill remember every detail.

"Mom! Dad! Louis, help them!" my fourteen year old self screams. My eyes were covered by Louis and all I heard was a loud bang and all I saw was darkness, and they were gone. "Louis I told you to help them! I told you, I told you, I told you.." I screamed  breaking down.

"Adelyn, Addy, wake up.." Louis calls softly, shaking me gently.

"I told you Louis, I told you.." I cried. 

"I know, I know, shhh..." Louis said calming me. He welcomed me into a warm hug.

I pulled away from him and wiped my tears on his shirt.

"I probably look like such a child. I'm seventeen and my big brother has to wake me from nightmares.." I said softly.

"Don't say that Addy, it's not childish at all." He said reassuring me.

I nodded and he brought a hand to my face to wipe my tears.

"You might as well come downstairs with me since you're already awake." Louis said with a smile.

We don't really get to spend time together because of the stupid gang. 

 "Sure." I smiled slightly.

We both walked downstairs. It's not like it was very early. It was maybe around 5 am? I never slept very well anyway.

Louis' phone rang, and he answered it  immediately, as usual.

"Hey, what's up Liam?" Louis said in a playful tone.

"Really? Again?" He said in response to Liam.

"Yeah...alright, well I guess she has to learn at some point." Louis sighed.

"See you in a few mate, bye." He said and hung up.

"What was that all about?" I asked eating a strawberry.

"Well..uh..Liam seems to think It'd be a good idea for you to come with us to meet up with Malik's Gang." Louis said.

I looked at him wide eyed. "There is no way in hell-" I said before Lou cut me off.

"What did I tell you about cursing Addy?" He asked rhetorically.

I rolled my eyes. "There is no  way that I'm going to go see Malik's gang with you." I said.

"Come on, you have to know what to do in these situations, you'll be eighteen soon." Louis reminded me.

I sighed. "Fine Louis, I'll go." I said quietly.

"Okay, you better go get dressed." He said. 

I walked upstairs quietly and went into my room. I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans, a black blouse and a leather jacket. You've got to look like your in gang if you're in one, right? I put on a pair of boots and looked at myself in the mirror. I decided it was good enough and hurried downstairs. Louis, Niall, and Liam were all down there.

Louis looked at me a bit nervously, he's very overprotective, but the number one rule in a gang is to defend yourself. So, even if they were attempting to hurt me, I'd have to find a way to fight back.

"Let's go." Niall said.

Louis was the leader so he called all the shots.

Louis nodded and we all followed him out of the house. We were headed to a warehouse. It was the central meeting place between the two of our gangs. We arrived and Malik's gang was already there. I'm not even sure what we were trying to clear up.

It could be something something to do with drugs. I mean Louis definitely doesn't do drugs, and nor do the others, but he has to make all that money somehow. Dealing drugs was the only legitimate answer. Louis nudged me to walk in front.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Zayn, leader of the opposing gang, asked. "If it isn't baby Tomlinson." He teased.

"Do I looked like a baby?" I replied.

"On second thought, damn, take a look boys." Zayn said causing Harry and Josh to stare.

I rolled my eyes with my hands on my hips.

"How old is this one Tomlinson?" Zayn asked my brother.

"Seventeen." He mumbled under his breath.

He walked closer. "Perfect." He whispered.

Now, I was a bit frightened, but like I said, I'm on my own for this one.

He put his hand lightly on my waist and whispered in my ear. "How about we give your brother a little show?" He asked sending chills down my spine.

I shook my head slowly. "No I- um uh...I don't think that's a good idea." I replied.

I turned my head to see Louis watching us carefully, and Niall and Liam on either side of him, while Malik's gang, Harry and Josh, laugh behind me.

He tightened his grip on my hips. "Why not?" He asked.

I tried my best not to show that I was in any pain. "Because I said so." I growled.

He laughed loudly. "You hear that boys? She thinks she can tell me what I can do." He said looking back.

He brought his face closer to mine. "One thing you should know about me, is I see what I want, and I get it." He whispered again. 

 He placed his soft lips on my neck, causing me to gasp. He continued to hold my hips tight as he sucked roughly on my neck. I didn't like the feeling, it felt wrong, in every way possible, but right at the same time. We were arch enemies, our families hate each other, this is no way there could even be the slightest bit of attraction to him. He pulled away and looked at it.

"Hmm...I like it." He smirked talking about the mark he had made on my neck.

"Who wants a turn?" Zayn asked.

Harry walked forward. "I'll take a shot at it." He smirked as well.

"Do you honestly think I'm just going to stand her and  let you guys do whatever you want?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah, basically." Harry said pulling me closer.

I lifted my arm and smacked his face.

He cupped his cheek. "You bitch." He growled slapping me harder and  pushing me forcefully back to Louis.

"What the hell mate?" Louis said, obviously pissed.

"She's a big girl, she can handle it." He said.

"I'm sorry Addy, you know I would've helped you if I could've...but the rules..." He whispered.

"It's fine." I said with my trembling voice.

"Let's go home we'll deal with them later." Louis scoffed.

I nodded as Louis picked me up and began to walk back to the car. 

"How's she going to be able to protect herself?" I heard Liam mumble.

"I don't know, but she better learn soon, because if we weren't standing right there, I think we both know what would've happened." Niall whispered giving Liam an odd look.

Niall was right, I do have to learn soon, because next time, I might not be as lucky.
