Fear For My Lover

Chapter 2

I saw Louis again almost every day that week. He was sweet, and he worried about me. But one night, I figured out that he wasn't pure sugar. I was walking home with him, when his hand roughly grabbed mine. I tried to slip it away, but he only held it tighter. I looked up and saw the nice boy that lived in the flat across from mine.

"Hi Teagan," I said with a smile.

"Hey Kat." Louis quickened his pace and stopped by an alley.

"What was that?" He asked through clenched teeth. His eyes seemed to have darkened to a dark blue black color.

"That was Teagan, he's my neighbor, what's your problem?"

"The way he looks at you. That's my problem," he snapped. "You're mine, and no one else can have you."

"Woah, since when am I yours? I'm not property Louis, I'm a person. Let me go," I said, trying to pull my hand away. He only squeezed it tighter, causing me to wince. "Louis stop, you're hurting me." His eyes went back to pale blue, and he released my hand.

"Kat I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," he said gently. He backed away and let me walk out of the alley.

"What was that about Louis?"

"What was what about?"

"The way you got all pissed when I said hi to Teagan. Your eyes got all dark, and I was scared Louis."

"Oh. That. That tends to happen a lot. Mainly when something or someone I love is involved."

"Does that mean you love me?" He froze for a second, unsure on what to say I guess. He looked at me with a small smile.

"I guess it does. I feel somewhat protective of you. Like you're all alone and I need to take care of you." That was one of the nicest things I'd ever heard anyone say since my dad died. I felt tears stinging my eyes. "Kat?"

"Hm?"

"Are you ok? Did I say something?"

"Yes, you did. That was the nicest thing anyone's said to me in years," I said, releasing the tears. He took me into a tight embrace.

"I will always be here for you. I will always protect you," he promised.
