Your Touch

Chapter 42

Chapter 42 (Hannah’s P.O.V.) 

                I held my stomach as I continued to laugh. I wished that I had taken a picture of Jake’s face when the other guys moved up to help Liam. It had been priceless.

                “Well, I didn’t expect that to happen.” Louis managed to say as he caught his breath.

                “Me either.” Harry said as he slapped his knee.

                “I wish I could have helped you guys though.” Tracey added as she stood up straight. “I have been wanting to for a while now.”

                “I think Hannah did it for both you and her.” Liam said as he placed an arm around my shoulders. I smiled. I couldn't help it, I was so happy that I had creamed Jake in the face.

                “Okay, how are we supposed to top off the night after that?”

                We all looked over at Sabrina. She was stand hand-in-hand with Zayn. She had a very good point. I wasn’t sure if we could top the night with something after that little episode with Jake. We all looked at each other trying to decided what we should do next, but someone else answered that for us.

                “Louis!”

                We all turned to see who I recognized as Eleanor Calder standing behind us. She came walking through the group toward him. She stopped when she noticed that Tracey was standing next to him. She threw out a hip and put her hand on it.

                “What are you doing here?” she spat at Tracey.

                Tracey stared at her for a moment, “You were at the restaurant that one day.” It was as if Tracey had an epiphany. “That’s how you knew where I lived.”

                She grinned, “Yes.” Then she turned to Louis, “We need to talk.”

                “No we don’t.” Louis said sternly, “I have nothing to say to you until you apologize to Tracey.”

                “I am not apologizing to that!” she exclaimed as she pointed at Tracey. This made me mad, but I knew that I needed to stay out of this. It was not my fight.

                “I am not a ‘that’.” Tracey spat. I was beginning to have a bad feeling about this.

                Eleanor turned to her, “You’re lucky you are even being ranked as a ‘that’.”

                Tracey was starting to grind her teeth and knew something was coming, “Well it’s better than being a bitch like you.”

                Then all hell broke loose. Eleanor let out a scream as she lunged at Tracey. She grabbed Tracey’s hair and punched her in the face. Louis moved forward to break them apart, but not before Tracey began fighting back. She nailed Eleanor in her jaw. Louis was forced to take a step back so that he wouldn’t get hit.

                “Fight! Fight! Fight!” Harry chanted beside me. I looked at him like he was crazy, before he earned a glare from Louis. He then changed his tone, “Stop…stop…stop…”

                That was when Louis and Niall jumped in, each grabbing one of the girls. Eleanor continued to flail as Niall tried to hold her back. Tracey stopped and stood next to Louis.

                “You little bitch!” Eleanor yelled as she elbowed Niall in the stomach and lunged for Tracey again. Tracey was ready to fight, but that wasn’t going to happen. Louis stepped in front of Tracey and was slapped by Eleanor. When he turned back to look at her, he had three bloody scratches on his cheek.

                “Louis…” Eleanor said softly. “I’m sorry.”

                “Leave.” Louis said sternly again.

                I looked at him with a weird expression. I had never heard Louis use that tone of voice. It was kind of scary.

                “But Louis…”

                “Leave!” Louis yelled at her. She looked like she was about to cry when she turned and began to walk away. We all remained silent for a moment as we watched her walk away.

                “Well, I think we topped the run in with Jake.” Sabrina said in a small voice.

                Niall was still holding his stomach, “Yeah, I think we did.”

                “And that was one hell of a cat fight.” Harry said with a stupid smile on his face. I shook my head at him, he had enjoyed that too much.

                “Yeah,” Louis said with a cheeky grin as he wrapped an arm around Tracey, “And kitty got claws.”

                “Yeah look at your face,” Tracey said as she turned his face to see his cheek.

                “Not her.” he said, “I meant you kitty.”

                I looked the two a little funny. I felt like something was about happen, when the moment was ruined.

                “That hurt.” Niall whined. We looked at him as he doubled over again. “I shouldn’t have had that third burger earlier.”

                We all began to laugh at him as he trying to straight up as we began to head down the sideway again.
