Playing Perfect

Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Nichole

"Shit!" I woke up to Louis' muttered cuss words and stomps through his dark room. He was carrying something, but I couldn't see it because, well, the room was dark. 

"Louis what are you doing?" he froze.

"Aw come on!" he flicked on the lights. "I wanted to wake you up to breakfast in bed!" he smiled.

"Well next time don't stomp." I replied jokingly. "Or cuss." I laughed. This is really sweet. I've spent the whole week at Louis'. Dad was furious to say the least, but it wasn't like we were doing anything bad. I mean we had Nerf gun wars and broke his neighbor's window with a brick, but that was because our dodge ball "got out of hand." I kissed his cheek and he sat the plate on my lap.

"Not even!?" How did I not smell these? "How did you know blueberry muffins were my favorite?" he shrugged.

"I might of called your mom and then had my mom make them, but that's just a guess." I smiled and shook my head. I've never met Louis' mom.

"Hey Louis?" he looked up at me and his eyes glistened. "Can we eat these with your mom?" he frowned and seemed confused.

"Why?" Why? Because I want to see what she looks like or her personality. I'm sure she's patient if she's raised this ball of energy.

"Never mind. It was a stupid idea." he shook his head and held out his hand.

"No girl I have been with ever asked to meet my mom." he smiled. "I told you you were different." he winked and I shook my head. 

********************

"And one time, I caught him peeing in the flower bed like a dog!" Me and Jo laughed so hard while Louis glared at her. We've been down here for a while now listening to Johanna telling me stories about Louis. She sat across from us while me and Louis sat beside each other. I was well aware of the fact that his hand was on my thigh. Every time he would rub his thumb against my leg absentmindedly it would send shivers up my spine. Jo was so nice. It surprised me because, well, you know how Louis acts and sometimes it seems like he's too much to handle. "And there was this other time he was stark naked and-"

"Stop mom!" he flung his hands in the air and looked scared to death.

"What?" she had a sly look on her face. "You don't want your girlfriend to know about the time you got your-" she paused for dramatic effect and he hit his head against the table. "willy stuck in the toilet seat and claimed that it was alive and trying to eat it!" she rushed out then quickly covered her mouth. I tried hard not to laugh, so I bit my lip and patted his back.

"Don't worry Lou. Sometimes, my belly growls and I think there is a tiger in my stomach." he glared at me which made us lose it. Jo smiled.

"OH stop pouting you big baby. It's not like she hasn't seen it." Both of our heads shot up. Louis looked embarrassed and I was shocked. She openly talks about her son having sex? That's a new one. He smile turned into a frown and she looked at Louis. "She hasn't saw it, has she?" Louis shook his head and her smile returned to her face. "You're welcome here anytime." she said quickly before excusing herself. I looked at Louis.

"You're cute when you blush." I poke his cheek and he playfully scrunched up his face before picking me up. "Louis! Put me down!" he smiled and kissed me keeping my feet just off the ground.

"What time is it?" Phoebe asked as she came downstairs. Daisy followed behind her.

"Um it's eleven." they nodded before running into the living room. "It's been nice this past week, but I need to go home." Louis was so lucky. His mom loved him and so did his sisters. I wanted to stay, but I knew it would only hurt me in the long run. He looked at me like I was crazy.

"He'll kill you!" he whispered. I nodded and gave him a weak smile.

"I've survived this long!" I said with some pep as I picked up my shoes and headed towards the door. There was no need to get ready since the moment I got home I was going to be ripped apart. "C'mon." I smiled when he joined me and intertwined our fingers. When we walked out the door he stopped me.

"Nichole." Oh no. He had the same look on his face when he said it the first time. He hasn't said it since then and I have a feeling it's because of my answer.

"I know." I kissed him and we got into his car.

Once we pulled into my driveway Louis squeezed my hand. I got out of my car and waved at him before I stepped into my house. The air was thick with cigarette smoke coming from dad's office. The house was dim like the lights haven't been turned on in years and it seemed vacant. My mom was sitting on the couch and her eyes widened when they landed on me. She quickly got up. "We have to hide you!" she whispered and looked down the hall towards dad's office.

"Why?" she pushed me into the coat closet and I landed on an umbrella. "Fuck!"

"Jennifer! Is that Nichole?" his steps rang throughout the whole house. I looked out of the hole between the door and the wall. He towered over my mom who looked defenseless against him. "Well?"

"No." she mumbled. He smacked her and she didn't even cry. I wasn't about to sit here and watch him abuse her.

"Woah there big guy." I said as I stepped out of the closet. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to hit a woman? It's called respect." he let go of my mom.

"My mother died." he laughed like he had won. I raised my eyebrow.

"Oh? Did you kill her too?" I waited for it knowing what was about to happen. He punched me and I was knocked off my feet. He kicked my stomach before picking me up.

"Vincent stop!" my mom pleaded.

"Shut up! Go to the bedroom!" she looked up at me and I nodded before she left the room. "So you think you don't have to listen to me?" he pushed me against the wall. "This is for not changing!" he slammed my head against the wall and punched me. I felt the blood trickle down the back of my neck and I started to feel woozy, but I knew that this was only the beginning."This is for hanging out with Louis!"  he spat in my face before kneeing me in the stomach. All my breath left me and I couldn't feel my feet from hanging so long. "And this is for kissing him." he broke my arm. I'm not sure how, but I heard the crack and I feel the pain. He threw me up against the main window. The curtain pulled back to reveal Louis' car still in the driveway. My vision was blurry, but I knew he saw me. I couldn't feel my head and nothing was making since anymore. It seemed like I was watching someone be abused not like I was the one being beaten. When he slammed me against the door again I saw Louis getting out of the car. Please don't. Please don't. I heard the door swing open. His hands were clenched and his face softened when he looked at me, but it seemed to fuel his anger when he saw my dad standing above me and all the love was wiped off his face.

"Hey asshole." dad dropped me and kicked me again for pure enjoyment. He smiled when he saw Louis clench his fist again. Louis was furious, but I blacked out when dad punched me again.
