The Enemy

Untitled Part 1

I paced the floor, waiting and wondering. My boyfriend of two years, Louis Tomlinson said he would be home by midnight, and it's going on two am. I haven't heard from anyone, and I was beginning to get worried. Where was he? He would tell me if he was held up. He's always honest with me.

I sat down on the sofa, and turned on the television. I doubt anything interesting is on at this hour. After surfing through the channels for a while before turning on the news. "This just in!" The news man said. 

"The Maple Lake Bank has been robbed of 750,000 dollars. The criminals escaped before the police arrived. Authorities are on the hunt for these criminals. More news on this case to be announced." Wow. So much crime in the world. Why are there bad people? 

"In other news, the National Puppy Rescue Society saved two stray Labrador retrievers from-" I turned off the television when I heard the garage door open.

Louis walked in the door smiling at me. "LOU BEAR!" I exclaimed, jumping into his arms. "Hey, babe!" He said spinning me around in the air before walking into the kitchen of our flat. "Where were you?" I asked him. 

"You were two hours late." He scratched the back of his neck. "I got caught up writing with the boys and then there was an accident on the highway" he explained to me. "But I'm here now and I'm all yours" He said pulling me into his warm embrace.

I took in his sweet aroma before kissing him on the lips. "Wait a sec" I said, sniffing his shirt. "Why do you smell like perfume? Louis, you smell like cheap perfume." I stated. 

"The boys and I were-" "Louis just be honest with me. Why do you smell like cheap perfume?" "We found a bottle of yours in my car and we were messing around with it "

"Louis, barely ever wear perfume, and when I do, it's for special occasions. Why would I have a bottle in your car? Louis, are you lying to me?" I questioned. He didn't say anything. "Louis are you cheating on me?" I asked, tears filling up my eyes. 

"Babe, no! I would never do that to my little angel." He argued. He kissed me and pulled away. "Let's go to bed." "No. Not until you tell me the truth. You weren't really with Liam and Harry, were you? Were you with another woman?" I asked more impatiently. "Baby I-"

"You are! Aren't you?! Spit it out Tomlinson!" "Baby I'm sorry I'll never see her again lets just-" "No! Louis I cannot believe you! I thought we had something special! I mean dang! I have stayed faithfully by your side for two and a half years and this is how you repay me?!" I began to sob. Louis tried to kiss me, but I moved away from him.

"LOUIS I WANT YOU TO PACK YOUR BAGS AND NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN! DON'T EVER COME CLOSE TO ME. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" I screamed at him. He nodded and went to pack his bags. 

I locked myself away in my bedroom and cried myself to sleep.After a long and sleepless night, I decided that I needed to move on from Louis and find someone to turn to. Since this was Louis' flat, I had to move out. I searched my contacts for someone I trusted until I cam across a familiar name.

"Luke Hemmings" the contact read. He was one of my friends from school and I trusted him with my life. We had always kept contact, and I knew he could help me until I found some other means to take care of myself.

Louis always told me to steer clear of Luke and his 'posse of dirtabags' but he never told me why. Anyways, Louis probably lied to me about that, too. I dialed the number and waited for him to pick up the phone. 

"Hello?" His Australian accent spoke. "Luke.." "Harper, are you alright?" "Luke... he cheated on me." "He did what?! You poor girl! What are you going to do?" "I don't know... he won't let me stay in his flat anymore" "It's okay, Harper. Calm down. You come to my house. You can stay with me and my friends for a while." "Thank you" I said, before hanging up and going to pack.
