The Sweetheart

Chapter 26

-Ella-

As Niall and Zayn hold me there on the couch, I'm forced to watch a film that is so terrifying, I can't blink without seeing something from it. Zayn seems to be uneasy about making me watch this, making me suffer, but he doesn't let me go. I let out the occasional squeak, scream, or squeal. I can only imagine how Louis is doing in his bedroom. I don't think he's very happy, and I can guarantee he'll be doing something to get back at the lads. When the alien takes his mask off, I let out a scream. It's terrifying, and quite ugly (A/N: I saw this movie when I was 8, and I don't suggest it).

"Oh my god, that is disgusting," I say, trying not to gag when the camera shows the inside out bodies.

"It's almost over," Zayn soothes.

-Louis-

The screams coming from the television are not what's pissing me off. Ella must be terrified. I occasionally fight to get away from Liam and Harry, but together they're too strong for me on my own.

"Why are you doing this to her?" I ask.

"We don't know. We wanted to get back at you I guess," Harry says, tightening his grip a little.

"I didn't agree with it. I think it's a little cruel," Liam says. Of course Liam thinks it's wrong. It's hanus. It's mean. I hear another scream, and a voice. Zayn I think. I didn't think he'd like holding her there. After maybe another half hour, I hear music. It stops, and then I hear foot steps coming down the short hall. She pushes the door open, and Liam and Harry release my arms. She runs up to me, eyes wide, and throws herself into my arms.

"I was so scared Louis," she whimpers.

"I know baby, I know. Was it as bad as we thought when we were kids?"

"Yes." Ella is really innocent. She hasn't seen much of how the world is. That's why she was hurt so badly when she saw me with Eleanor, and why she was so terrified at a movie this old. She doesn't have a dirty mind, she doesn't like scary films, and she definitely hates being out after dark. She doesn't like being anywhere but in a house after dark. She gets scared that bad things might happen in the dark, when it's harder to see clearly.

"Hey Louis, Ella, want some pizza?" Niall asks through the door.

"Sure Niall, cheese for us please," I say. He walks away, and Ella looks up at me.

"You know me too well," she giggles. I kiss her forehead, and give her a tight squeeze.

"I know." She washes her face, and we go out to the living room. Zayn looks uneasy when we sit down, but we ignore him. Ella is practically sitting in my lap while Liam flips through the channels. When Niall gets back with the pizza, Ella gorges herself. She loves herself some cheese pizza. She eventually crashed, and I carried her to bed. There will definitely be nightmares tonight.

Hey! If you're reading any of my other stuff, sorry, I'm completely off schedule right now. Uhhhh, yeah. I wrote this on my iPod, so no bold or anything sorry.
