Girl Next Door (Louis Fanfic)

Chapter Sixteen

Erica's POV

I pick it up and blow the dust off of it. I grinned when I saw it. It was a scrapbook I had given Louis for his ninth birthday. On the front cover showed a picture of us on my front porch when he was teaching me about the laws of gravity. I remember that day. He would make me recite the laws and if I messed up get pelted with crab apples and then I would make him eat it then because you can't hit a girl.

I opened the front page.

To: Louis Tommo

From: Erica

It read in my scribbled hand writing. I turned the page a few pages and chocked up. All the pictures were of us. One of them was I us playing on some rocks by the river and going creaking. That was the day he told me that I was beautiful... I had been ten. The next few pages were of us in middle school. But one made me stop. It showed me crying into Louis chest.... And in an instant, the flashback came.

"You're so ugly, even the ogres have to cover their eyes!" laughed the kids at school. I was only in seventh grade, but I didn't understand why kids were so harsh.

"Even stink bugs complain when you walk by!" yelled another kid, shoving me as I tried to walk home. A few people were following me and I quickened my pace. But they caught up. They stole my books and pushed me in the mud.

I would get up but there insults slapped me back. I remember reaching up, trying to grab something and then feeling a tight grip on my hand. A familiar grip. Louis pulled me close. When the kids shouted cruel remarks Louis fought back. Some of them left that day with broken teeth and black eyes. Louis arm wrapped me as we walked home in silence (well if that doesn't include my sobbing). I thanked him silently and started to head in but he grabbed my wrist.

"Never! I repeat never, let them do that to you again!"

"But Louis there is seven of them and only- only one of me." I cried. Louis pulled me close; I could hear his heart beating.

"I will protect you..." he whispered in my ear. That was the day I knew I loved him.

I snap back to reality and close the book. I grip it to my chest and walked back to my house.

***Later on in the Day***

I finish straightening my hair and give it a final brush. I brushed of my faded blue jeans and fixed my sweater. My black flats were old but still in good condition so I wore those. I was walking out of my room when I stopped. I grabbed the scrapbook and pulled out the picture of us two after the incident. I slipped into my purse. I grabbed my keys (if we took my car) and walked down stairs. My phone vibrated. I picked it up...

Me- Hello?

Niall- Hey it's me!

Me- Hey Niall what's up?

Niall- Nothing much love... Have you heard from Kay?

Me- Nooo why?

Niall- Well we were supposed to get together tonight but she hasn't responded to any of my texts the last few days.

Me- What!?! (my heart beat quickened. Kay always responded to her texts... Always!)

Niall- I know! I'm scared too. Do you think-

Me- Niall I'm sure she's fine... Where are you?

Niall- Well actually I'm pulling up onto your driveway...

Me- What do you- oh okay.

I hung up and ran outside as Louis came out too.

"Niall what are you doing here?" he said beating me to him.

"It's Kay... I don't think she's okay...." he said wiping his eyes.

"Niall don't worry we will find her!" I smiled.

"Yeah we will come and look for her with you right now if you want!" Louis said. My jaw dropped. He had just canceled our date! I'm mean sure it was Kay but still...

"Oh thank you!" Niall yelled hugging us both. We got in Louis's car and raced down the dimly lit street.
