Dark (Louis version)

Chapter 14

Louis went to answer the door and I followed him. He opened it and that's when I saw my ex. Louis looked angry. I grabbed his arm and pulled him back and tried to close the door. Nick put his foot in the way again and stepped in. Louis said "Get out."

Nick said "I don't have to. This isn't even your house."

I said "No it's not but I don't care. We don't want you to be here. Please leave."

He smiled at me and asked "How have you been babe? I've been wanting to finish talking to you."

I was starting to get annoyed with him. I said "Don't call me babe. I don't like you, and I don't want you in my house. So leave."

Louis was trying to pull me back but I wouldn't let him. Louis grabbed my hand and said "Nick, I think you need to leave and I'll just have to handle you in the boxing ring."

Nick asked "Are you sure you'll beat me?"

Louis said "I'm positive. I know you want my girlfriend but you hurt her a lot when you had her.  I have her now and she doesn't want you."

Nick laughed and said "I'm sure I could make her feel better than you can."

Louis tensed up and I could that he was getting really mad. Louis said "I doubt that and I don't hit her like you did. Now leave."

Nick walked forward a little bit and tried to smack me but I moved out of the way. Nick said "You weren't supposed to tell anyone."

Louis let go of my hand and punched Nick and pushed him out the door. Louis locked it and he came back and grabbed my hand. We walked me up to my room. He pulled me over to my bed and he asked "Are you okay?"

 "Yeah."

"You seem unsure about that yeah."

"I'm just scared."

"Are you scared of me right now?"

"No, I'm scared of him. I don't want him to come back and then start hitting me again."

Louis pulled me onto his chest and said "I won't let him do anything to hurt you. I'll be here until you tell me to leave."

"I'm not sure that I want you to leave."

"If you do you can just tell me and I will."

He leant down and kissed me. He pulled away then asked "When is your mom going to get home?"

"Probably around 7."

Then we heard another knock on the front door. Louis got up to answer it and he asked "Will you please stay here?"

"No."

"I just want to keep you safe."

"I'll be fine."

He groaned and grabbed my hand and lead me downstairs then he opened the door. It was Nick and I could see that his face was swollen, red and a little bloodily where Louis punched him. Louis said "What do you want?"

Nick said "I want to talk to Abby."

Louis said "That's not going to happen because she's not going to go around you."

 "Are you acting like your her dad now?"

 "No, I'm her boyfriend and I don't want her to get hurt again."

 "You'll hurt her more than I could."

Then Louis let go of my hand and him and Nick started fighting again. I saw one of Nick's friends come up and pull them apart. Nick left and I walked inside and closed the door. Louis came up and knocked on the door. He asked "Please let me in?"

"I don't know."

I sat down on the floor and had my back against the door. Louis said "Please. I'll wait out here till you let me in."

I sat there thinking for what seemed like a long time. I stood up and opened the door and saw Louis sitting on my porch still. He came over and hugged me and asked "Are you okay?"

 "You guys just scared me."

 "Do you still want me to stay the night?"

"You can if you want."

He grabbed my hand and pulled it up to his face and kissed. I said "Every time you do something sweet and gentle like that I forget about how dangerous you really are."

"I try not to be dangerous around you because I don't want to scare you off."

"Do you really like being around me?"

"Yeah. It feels weird when I'm not."

I smiled and got on my tiptoes and kissed him. He pulled away and smiled then asked "Does that surprise you?"

"Yeah. So what are you going to do when I go back to school?"

"I'll be at work, but I can always pick you up from school."

"You can pick me up or I can just walk home."

"I don't want you to walk."

"When is the fight between you and Nick?"

"Next weekend, so I'll be training a lot harder this week."

"I'll be there even though I still don't think he's worth the time."

"He's worth the time. He hurt you so much, it's so hard for you to even trust anyone anymore and I still don't even know if you fully trust me."

"I'm still trying to figure that one out."

He laughed then said "You still have to figure a lot of stuff out, don't you?"

"Kind of."

"What do you want for dinner?"

"I don't care. What do you want?"

"Do you want to go out for pizza?"

"Sure. I just have to get my phone and bag first."

He smiled and lent down and kissed me. Then I went up and got my phone and bag then walked back downstairs. Louis grabbed my hand and lead me to his car.  We got in and he started driving to the pizza place.
