Hidden Talents

Chapter 5: car rides and a savior

Chapter 5 (Merediths POV)

I keep walking even though the rain is soaking through my clothing. Wow, to think this all started with me running into Louis at Starbucks.

I stop walking when I hear a car horn. I turn around and see a black car pulling up behind me. They roll down the window amd I come face to face with a pair of blue eyes equivelant to mine.

'Mere, get in the car it's pouring!' He yells. Trying to get me in the car.

'No! I'd rather walk, thank you.'

'Please? I want to know what happened back at the house that mad you run out.'

'Ugh, fine!'

I hop in the passenger side and close the door. He turns the car around to go back home and it's dead silent except for the sound of rain pelting on the windshield.

'Ok, so what happened?' Louis asks, breaking the silence.

'Nothing.' I say folding my arms over my chest, not wanting him to know why I left.

'It sure as hell didnt seem like nothing to all of us. Seriously, I want to know so I dont bring it up or do it again.'

I cant resist because he turns in his seat and gives me the puppy dog face. Why must he be so cute?

'Ok fine! When we were playing 20 questions, Harry asked me where I got these bruises.' I say pointing to my face.

'And I couldnt tell him what really happened so I decided to get the hell out of that house so i ran.' I continue, hoping he doesnt ask me about what really happened.

'So what did happen?'

I guess my hopes are gone.

'Uh...um....I told you I fell....thats all that happened?

'No it's not. I can already tell that when your lying it comes out as a question.'

Damn it.

'Fine, I got beat up. No big deal.' I say wanting to drop the conversation all together.

'What?! How? When? Where? Who?'

'CALM DOWN LOUIS! It was nothing! Really!'

'Answer. My. Questions.' He says through clenched teeth.

'How: I got punched and kicked. 

When: about 2 days ago. 

Where: walking to school. 

Who: my fellow students that attend the hell hole.' I say making sure I answer all his questions.

'Im so sorry Mere. Really. You dont have to tell everyone else, i'll just tell them not to mention it.'

'Thank you.'

'I have one more question though.'

'Yes?'

'Is that why you started apologizing when you ran into me earlier today?'

'...yes...' I answer quietly. And before I know it, the car stops and im wrapped in a tight hug by none other than, Louis.

'Im so so sorry. Its not your fault. I'll make sure it never happens again.' He cooes in my ear whilst hugging me.

'Thank you Louis. But you might want to start driving again before we get hit.'

'Right! Sorry.'

We start driving again and after 20 minutes in the car, we finally arrive back at his house.

We step out of the car and go into the house. Once we step inside, I see all of the boys still sitting in a circle on the floor, not saying anything and looking really worried.

All their heads snap up when they hear the front door slam. Suddenly im engulfed in a huge hug by all the boys.

'Im sorry about what happend to you MereBear. It'll be okay.' Harry says. Wait, how did he know? 

I turn to look at Louis but i see an empty space. Hm.

'Louis texted us on your guys' way home' Liam says.

THAT BOY SAID HE WOULDNT SAY ANYTHING. LIES.

'Oh, okay.' Is all I say even though I want to punch someone square in the face.

'Where's Louis?' I ask nochalantly, trying not to show that im going to ruin him.

'Up in his room. He takes this kind of stuff really seriously.' Zayn replies.

'But how can he? Hes only known me for like 4 hours?'

'I think he just already thinks of you as a friend.'

Im acually touched my this. No one has ever thought of me as a friend after they've heard about what's happened to me.

I head upstairs to what I think is Louis' room. I knock on the door but there's no answer. I open the door slilently and step inside.

Louis is face down on his bed with his face in his pillow. I see his back move up amd down rapidly, meaning he was crying.

'Louis. Dont cry. Its not your fault! You didnt know.'

'Buth Iw dwidnf dogf amhrifng'

'What?'

He lifts his head up and repeats himself.

'But I didnt do anything. I didnt save you from it.'

'You didnt know! You couldnt have saved me when we didnt even know eachother!'

'Well im going to save you from now on. No more bullies. No more beatings. No more.' He says lifting his shirt to wipe his tears.

'Thank you Louis. For everything.'

'No, thank you Mere. For letting me in.'

He enlopes me in a hug which i gratefully accept. We both decide to go downstairs to see if everyone is alright.

he hops off the bed and we both go down the stairs to find the boys all passed out on couches and the floor. Then, did I realize, how tired I was.

I lay on the couch and Louis follows suit. He and I are laying on the couch when I feel him wrap his arms around my body. This felt good. I liked him being this close to me, I dont know why but I do.

We both fell into a similar breathing pattern and fell into a blissful sleep for once in a long time.
