Summer Road Trip

Chapter 30

(Louis's POV)

"Elly" Grace gasps letting go of my hand ans bringing it to her mouth.

Who the hell is Elly?

Well obviously she's the crying girl in front of us, but how do the girls know her?

Kaycee steps forward, takes her sweater off, and wraps it around 'Elly'. The Elly girl looks up greatfully and gives a small smile to her. Hope step forward next and the crouched down beside the girl and says, "Come on babe lets get you back to the hotel and clean you up."

Now that I look and Elly she is covered in dirt and her clothes are torn.

Chandler and Madi are on either side of Elly and they start leading her the way to our hotel. I give Grace a look and she mouths back, 'I'll tell you later." I nod and then take her hand in mine following after the others who have already left.

****************************

Right now Elly is taking a shower in Grace and mines hotel room and the rest of us are sitting in Harry and Hopes living room.

We are all just sitting and staring at the floor. Zayn is the first to break the silence, "So how do you guys know this Elly chick?"

Madi sighs and runs a hand through her hair, "Remember when we ran away because of the hate?" She asks and the boys and I nod, but I give Graces hand a squeeze at the memory. "Well we went to this little coffee place and she was our waitress. She saw us crying and gave us some advice and then we came back to you guys." Madi finished the story. 

"We wouldn't be here with you guys today if it wasn't for her." Hope adds while snuggling closer to Harry.

"Well then I would say a thank you is in order." I say. "That won't be necessary." Someone says and we all turn and we see Elly standing in the doorway arms crossed and dressed in a set of Chandler' s clothing.

"You look refreshed." Chandler says giving her a slight smile. "Very" Elly replies walking into the room and then standing there looking for a place to sit, which there wasn't any because all ten of us took up the two couches and the love seat. Grace who was sitting next to me immediately stands up and pulls me along with her, "Please lay down or sit here." She says and Elly smiles gratefully and lays down on the love seat. I sit down on the floor, leaning against the coffee table. Grace sits next to me intertwining our hands together and resting her head on my shoulder. I smile like a Cheshire cat thinking how much I love her.

For a little while we all just sit there in silence until Harry awkwardly breaks the silence by coughing and then saying, "So Elly who um did this to you?" "You don't have to answer if you feel uncomfortable though" Niall is quick to add.

"No I'm alright." She says while sitting up, "You guys know him." She says and Grace immediately sucks in a breath. I look at her my eyebrows raised in confusion. She looks at me and then speaks up, "It was Dayton, wasn't it?" Elly just nods her head.

We sit in silence not really sure of what to say.

Liam' s phone starts to ring and he gets up from his spot next to Kaycee and walks into the bedroom to answer the call.

Elly clears her throat and says, "He was um he was looking for you guys."

"We know." I state bitterness evident in my voice. "He kidnapped the girls before so he's looking to kidnap them again." Zayn snarls.

"He's not gonna get them." Harry sneers pulling Hope closer to him. "Over my dead body he will." I say.

Liam then walks into the room sadness in his eyes, "What's wrong Li?" Kaycee asks. He sighs, sits beside her, and then says, "Lads we have to go back on tour. That was Simon that just called. He said we were neglecting our responsibilities and the girls were distracting us. So our breAk from tour ends here."

"They're distracting us?! They got kidnapped!" Harry yells. "And the same same guy who kidnapped them is looking for them again we can't just leave them!"

"He-he is what?" Liam asks quietly.

"Elly said that he was looking for us." Kaycee says.

"Well it doesn't matter you boys have to go back on tour and plus we're big girls we can take care of ourselves." Grace says. "Oh so that's why your protected yourselves so well the first time." I say back. "We were already injured!" She yells.

"Ok ok I'm sorry I know that. I just don't want anything to happen to you." I say apologizing because I know that they were in the car crash.

"Well since we can't leave them how about they come on tour with us?" Niall suggests. "Now that's an idea" Harry agrees. "But what about Simon? Will he want us to come?" Madi asks. "Hell with Simon you guys are coming with us no matter what" Zayn says. "Umm what about Elly?" Kaycee asks. "Um I guess she can come on tour with us too" I says.

Elly laughs and says, "Don't worry I have to get home to my mom. God knows how long I was missing she probably is worried sick."

"At least let us by you a plane ticket home. I know you are probably a ways away from home." Liam asks like the nice person he is. "That would be lovely. If you guys don't mind I think I'm going to hit the sack now. Where am I sleeping?"

"Umm take the bedroom where you showered in. It's mine and Louis's room, but I think you need it more at the moment." Grace says offering our cozy bed to her. "Are you sure? Where will you guys sleep?"

"Oh don't worry about us we'll think of something" I say throwing a wink at Grace causing her to giggle. "Ok I'm not to sure if I want to sleep in that bed anymore. Have you guys done anything in it?" And Grace immediately starts to blush. I chuckle and say, "Even if we did you would never know." She walked out grumbling something.

Pretty soon everyone left to their rooms to sleep leaving Grace and I in Harry and Hope's living room. "You guys can sleep on the couch." Harry says. "Thanks Harry." Grace says. "Here" Hope yells throwing you guys two pillows and a blanket. "Thanks" I say setting up our 'bed' for tonight.

Hope and Harry retire to their room and I finish setting up our make shift bed just as Grace return from our room with our pajamas. "Ok spin" she says so she can change. "Come on Grace I'm your boyfriend." I say, "I've seen you in your bra and underwear before" Not what you think we haven't done it yet I just walked in on her changing one time.

"Ugh. I can never win." She says slipping out of her jeans and then taking off her shirt. She quickly slips on her pajama shorts and one of my t-shirts. "Did I say you can use one of my shirts?" I ask teasing her. "It's just to comfortable" she says laying down under the blanket on the couch.

I chuckle and then slip out of my t-shirt and jeans and then putting on the pair of sweatpants she brought me. I then slip in next to her so that I was spooning her. It's not awkward since we slept together many times before this. Not like that just you know sleeping side by side WITH CLOTHES ON.

I sigh in content and wrap my arms around Her pulling her closer to me. I snuggle my head into the crook of her neck and place a kiss there smiling. "I can't believe I'm going on tour with you." She says placing her hands on top on mine where the rest on her waist.

"Beleive it babe. At least we won't be separated."

"True. Because just being in two separate rooms was bad." She says laughing lightly.

I laugh with her and then say, "I love you."

"I love you too Lou." Was all I hear before I drift off to sleep.
