Trapped in Their World

Chapter 18

Niall's POV

I was mad. I was just so mad with everything. The fact that Jaylee ran away made me think of how bad she's going to get it when she gets home. She's such an innocent girl and she doesn't deserve this kind of treatment and I hate knowing that she "has to get punished." I just wish she could understand that she can't run away. And that we need her.

I was honestly scared for her. I thought maybe another gang was spying on us and they possibly saw Jaylee run away and could of captured her. We are a protection for Jaylee whether she believes it or not. She just doesn't understand that she isn't safe anywhere around here. She can't just run off like that.

Also when Louis told me to not be nice to Jaylee I knew that was going to be hard. Only because she treats me nicely. She was fun to talk to. She seemed like such a nice girl. I hate being mean to her for no reason. But now, I have a reason. Even though I hated ignoring her. When she was trying to talk to me I was dying inside. I knew I didn't want to talk to her cuz I was too mad and the boys would of given me looks if I gave in. So I had to shut her up by being rude.

She needs to know what she gets when she runs away. I was honesty dying to just hug her and tell her everything will be ok. But I just couldn't. The only thing I could do was hold her upper arm really tight. I didn't want to hurt her, but she needs to know that I'm upset with her and I'm not a softy.

My mouth was twitching to just fill her mind with soothing words but I chose to ignore it by repeating her mistakes in my head. Jaylee kept staring up at me and I hated it. Her big green eyes were gorgeous. I've never seen a pair that green, they're darker than Harry's. They're hypnotizing.

It took a long time to get home but once we drove in the grassy driveway, I instantly looked down at Jaylee who was shaking like crazy. Tears were streaming down her face and there were even small puddles on her pants. Poor thing. The car was parked in front of our house and I watched as Louis clenched his jaw and hopped out of the car. Yep, he's angry.

I guess all of us are. The door slid open and an instant whimper left Jaylee's mouth. Harry got out of the car and took the keys from Louis before walking quickly towards the front door. Louis on the other hand madly crawled in the van and stole Jaylee from me.

Jaylee began crying and whimpering as Louis grabbed her roughly by the arm and dragged her towards the house. "What do you think will be her punishment this time?" I heard Zayn ask from behind me. We all watched Louis and Jaylee as we sat silently in the car.

"Probably belts. Or even worse." Liam replied with his thumb against his lips as he was thinking. "Will Louis make us hit her as well?" I questioned as I glanced over at Liam. "Yeah, I guarantee it." He nodded his head. "God Jaylee what have you done." I whispered.

Jaylee's POV

I began to sob in Louis' grasp as he continued to drag me across the lawn and towards the front door. I was scared, so scared that I was shaking like crazy. I was surprised I didn't slip out of Louis' grip by accident. I wanted to beg Louis to let me go and to not hurt me but I decided against it. There's no way I'm getting out of this one. This was my fault. They warned me not to run away.

I just hated the fact that if I stayed here, I would become someone I don't know. Or at least someone I don't want to be. They will take everything I am and turn it around for something bad. They don't want me to be this innocent girl anymore. But I still want to. I found myself trying to push Louis' hand away but it never slid off. Nor seemed phased by my actions.

I was even more terrified why the other guys never followed behind. Was it just going to be Louis doing something to me? What will he do to me? Are the rest allowing him to do what he wants? Will they be a part of it? Do they want to be a part of it? I had no clue, but I was terrified.
