He's taken, I'm broken (Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 16

He looked shocked for a second. Maybe he saw the hurt in my eyes. He quickly turned his gaze away from me. But hurt wasn't the only thing I was feeling. I could feel the anger coursing through my blood. I wished I could have walked away. I felt a hand on my shoulder. Ari. She squeezed gently trying to calm me, I think. I walked towards Louis and her hand dropped. I don't know what came over me. He looked at me as I neared him. His girl friend had moved back a little. My eyes flickered to her for a moment. She was beautiful. I was nothing compared to her. She had a model's body. She had brown eyes in which I saw recognition as she looked at me. 'Does she know me?' I thought. I turned my focus back to Louis.

"Oh no. Not again." I heard Niall mutter.

When I was a a few finches away from Louis, I stopped.

I raised my hand and slapped him. His head jerked to the side and his hand reached up to touch it. He slowly turned his face and looked at me. I could see it in his eyes that he was angry.

"I. Hate. You." I spat, pausing between each word.

"What the fuck?" He growled.

"How dare you?" I barked at him.

"What? I'm not allowed to kiss a girl?" He asked, angrily.

"How dare you scream at me for doing what you were doing right now?" I shouted.

He didn't respond.

"I can't believe I forgave you. You're a bastard. I fucking hate you. I hate you so much. God, how much I hate you!"

"Good. We have mutual feelings then." He winced as he said that.

My eyes began to sting with tears.

I turned my eyes away from him and noticed Lily and Ari weren't in the room. Good. I didn't want her to see this anyway.

I gulped down the lump that had formed in my throat and forced back the tears and turned my gaze back to Louis. His eyes were still on me.

"What do you want from me, Louis? Do you want me dead??" I said quietly, then shouted. "Then kill me, just kill me."

His expression changed and he looked hurt too. "I-" he began but I stopped him.

"Just kill me. Kill me, Louis. I'm sure you'll be much happier with me dead. Kill me if that's the onl-"

"SHUT UP! I WOULD NEVER KILL YOU." He roared so loudly, I thought I might actually turn deaf. I stepped back, afraid.

Louis looked really angry and it looked like he might actually hit me.

"Calm down, Louis." The brunette said, placing her hand on Louis' shoulder. He turned his eyes towards her. I made my getaway then. I ran upstairs to Niall's room. Ari was sitting on the bed with Lily lying on her lap. She was patting her and telling a story to her.

"And the princess and the prince lived happily ever after." She finished and laid the sleeping Lily on the bed and covered her with a duvet.

She turned and saw me standing in the doorway.

"Hey." I said weakly.

"Lauren, I'm sorry." She said, going straight to the subject I didn't want to talk about.

"It's not your fault." I said avoiding her eyes and going to sit beside Lily.

"He still cares about you." She said quietly.

I snorted. "As if."

"He does. Believe me."

"Ari, don't you think I want to believe that. I wish it was true but it isn't. He had a girlfriend and he screamed at me for sleeping with someone else. I didn't even do it but even if I had he had no right of screaming at me. What does that mean. That he is allowed to move on and I'm supposed to stay miserable for the rest of my life." I sobbed, finally letting out the tears I had been holding back.

Ari shuffled over to me and hugged me. I cried into her shoulder.

"He doesn't want to see you miserable. Really." She said, stroking my hair.

"If he didn't want to see me miserable then why did he do this to me. Ari he knows that I still love him. And he is making this harder for me." I cried.

"No. You've got it wrong. He thinks you hate him. Just like you think he hates you." She said, with a hint of frustration in her voice.

"Ari he just confirmed he hates me. He said so himself just now." I said trying to keep the hurt out of my voice.

"Didn't you say the same thing Lauren." She said and this time the frustration in her voice was clear.

"But he meant it. I could see that he meant it." I said, trying to choke back a sob.

"I don't know what to say about that Lauren since I wasn't there but I could hear your voice and it looked like to me that you meant it too."

"I did mean it. I do hate him Ari. I hate him for making me love him so much. He ruined my life. I used to think that I would be the most happiest person in the future. I had planned my future. How I was going to live with......." I trailed off breaking into a sob again.

Ari kept stroking my hair as I cried into her shoulder. "You know you're really tired. You should sleep." She said and made me lay down.

"But where are you going to sleep?" I protested.

"There are a lot of rooms in this house. I'm sure I'll find one for Niall and me." She said.

"Okay." I said.

She said a goodnight and left the room.

I laid there for god knows how long trying to go to sleep. I looked at Lily. She was such an innocent kid. Without a worry in the world. I wished I was a kid again. I wanted to get away from my problems. I wanted to be free. But unfortunately, that wasn't going to happen.

I heard a a knock on the door after a while. I didn't really want to talk to anyone so I didn't answer. I heard the knock again and the creak of the door as someone opened the door. I closed my eyes shut, pretending to be asleep. I felt some one sit down beside me.

"Lauren?" It wasn't any of the boys and it wasn't Ari either but I had heard the voice. I just couldn't remember who it belonged to.

"Are you asleep?" And thats when I realised it was Louis' girlfriend.
