Save me tonight

Ch 4

*about a half a hour later...*

"We are back!" Niall screamed when he walked in the door.

"We know!" The lads yelled back at him.

"Wait, where's louis?" I asked Niall.

"Starbucks, coffee, evil plans, yadda

yadda yadda..." Niall replied to me.

"Evil plans?" I asked him.

"Yeah, he thinks this Ethan boy should learn a lesson. I do too, but he won't let me plan anything." Niall said sitting down beside me and Harry on the couch. Niall looked at me and then to Harry's arm which was around my shoulders and gave him a death glair. Harry caught the look and removed his arm from me, only to be replaced by Niall's arm.

"So, what the hell did you lot do when we were gone?" Niall asked me more then anyone else.

"We, uh, played 20 questions with Simon before his meeting. That's about it." I replied to him.

"Well, what now?" Liam asked us.

"What do you mean 'what now'?" I asked him.

"We are bored, and if you don't keep this lot busy, bad things happen." He said to me.

"Can we see your apartment?" Harry asked me.

"Yeah, but why?" I asked him in return

"Because, Simon made us your neighbors except we are down a floor. And we herd you own the penthouse of the building. I want to see!" Harry exclaimed.

"I guess that would be ok. Simon need to know first before we go anywhere." I told them all.

*20 minuets and one fight with Simon later*

I drove myself home and parked in the garage. The boys would be here in a few minuets, because they were going to wait for carrot boy. That gives me enough time to clean up the blood on the floor from earlier I thought to myself.

I ran into the elevator and pressed the 69th floor. The elevator shot up and made my stomach do that weird flip thing. Before I knew it the doors were open and I was at my door.

I swiped my card and opened the door. I ran to the phone and called the front desk.

"Hello, this is Alex, building Manager, how may i help you?" A manly voice said.

"Um, hi. I live in the penthouse, and I have a few friends coming over. I was wondering how quick you could have security in front of the building for them." I told Alex.

"5 minuets. Is there anything else Miss. Fullem?" Alex asked me.

"Um, yeah, 3 large pizzas with bacon and olives if you could."

"Ok, I will be at your door in ten minuets with your pizza. Have a nice day Miss Fullem." And he hung up.

I placed the phone back on its charger and went to work. I grabbed a bottle of floor cleaner and a 'Mr Clean Magic Eraser' and walked to the bathroom

I got on my hands and knees and pulled the eraser from the box. I dabbed the cleaner onto the eraser and scrubbed the floor like there was no tomorrow.

Once all of the blood was gone, I decided to change my clothes.

I walked back into my closet and went straight to the panel. I looked around on the screen and finally found what I was looking for.

I slipped on a white tank top and some cropped green shorts and a pair of green toms to match.

I walked back into my bathroom and took off all of my makeup and re-applied some eye liner and mascara.

The doorbell rang, thinking it was the guys I didn't even look into the peep hole.

"Ethan" was all I could say as I saw his face. It was covered in blood and there were slashes across his face like somebody raked their nails over his pearly skin.

"Leah, I want you now." and he pulled me into the hallway. He closed the door and pressed me against it. He put his hand in the back of his pants and came up with a gun.

"If you behave like a good girl, you might not die." He whispered in my ear.

I could smell all of the beer on his breath and looked at the gun pressed to my stomach.

"Unlock your apartment door." He commanded me.

I turned around slowly, waiting for someone to see me. I need a witness. I can't beet him unless there is someone else here.

I heard a ding and the elevator doors opened to reveal Niall.

"Open the door. He doesn't know you. We are safe."

"Leah? Who is this? What's going on?" Niall asked me.

I spun around and crossed my arms over his neck. I dug my claws into his skin and pushed him away and let him go. He hit the wall and I grabbed Niall's hand and pulled him inside.

"What happened out there? Why did you do that?" He asked me.

I looked at him and back out the peep hole. I ignored his question and asked him "when will the others be here?"

"In a few minuets, now answer my question!" He yelled.

"That's Ethan. He is my latest ex and he is tipsy. He has a gun and he pressed it to my stomach. I needed a witness just in case I hurt him, and that just so happens to be you."

His mouth was wide open and he was staring at me like I was crazy.

"So that's the douche bag who hurt you?" Niall asked me.

"Yeah," and Niall was out the door. I ran after him to see what he was going to do and saw him alone in the hall, fist clenched tight.
