In Touch - L.T 1D

Chapter Fifty Nine

Chapter Fifty Nine

After those words leave my mouth, my whole body instantly starts to shake in fear. I sit there, rocking back and forth with my knees up to my chest as I let the fear take over. Fear that at any moment he could burst into the house and hurt me.

Hurt me.

He's going to hurt me.

I let out another scream, my fingers tangling into my hair, pulling painfully at the strands. I squeeze my eyes shut, desperate to get the memories to leave but they keep replaying, speeding up when there is no 'action' and slowing down to a snail pace when he starts to hurt me.

The pain from the memory slowly seeping into my waking moments, as if it were happening all over again.

Pain.

Hurt.

Pain.

My whole body twitches as I fall sideways onto the ground, my shoulder that I hurt before becoming more painful at the impact. I can feel my whole body quaking in fear as I try to push away the demons that are threatening to take over.

But I know that it's no use.

They've already won.

I don't think there is anything else I can do to fight them.

"Mimi? Are you sure?"

"Liam! Do you think she would be freaking screaming in the corner having a panic attack if she didn't remember who had done this too her?"

Wait.

That was Louis.

I feel my heart rate instantly calm down at the sound of his voice, even if I don't want it too. Even if I try to stop my heart from rejoicing at the sound of his voice, I know it's no use. I can already feel my body scream out for him. I can already feel my heart rate slow down as it rejoices in the sweet sound of his voice. I can already feel my muscles loosen as he voice rocks through me like a tidal wave on the beach.

Strong and powerful.

"Mimi, love, it's okay. He isn't going to hurt you," I hear Louis say from right next to me before his hand comes to rest on my arm.

My whole body twitches as the memories of intimate touches and unnecessary punches invade my brain. But it's only for a second before I feel my body melt under his touch, the place where his skin touches my arm igniting in tingles.

"L...Lou," I stutter out, my shaky hand reaching up to wrap around his wrist.

"I'm here love. You're okay."

"He...he's g-going t-to hurt me."

"No sweetheart no. We won't let him. We aren't going to let him hurt you," Louis mumbles as he brushes some hair out of my eyes.

"Yes. Y-yes h...he is. He's g-going t-to hurt...hurt...h-hurt me."

"I won't let him. I will protect you with my life love. So will the boys. We won't let him anywhere near you. That is a promise."

I let his words move through me, taking away the last of the panic that is rushing through my body. Even though his words are calming me, my mind is still screaming at me not to believe him and my heart, my heart is trying to beat out of my chest at the close contact, all thoughts of Stacey completely gone.

"That's it love. Good girl."

"Hello? Yes, this is Liam Payne. I was wondering if detective Xander was there?"

I feel my body tense up before I am suddenly picked up from the floor. I let out a small scream at the sudden movement before realising that Louis had picked me up.

"You're okay. Ni, Haz, you wanna join us?"

"Yep."

I wrap my arms around Louis' neck, burying my face in his chest. I don't care right now if my heart is broken due to him being with Stacey, at this very moment I need him. I need the comfort that his arms offer me. I need the strength that just being near him gives me. I need someone to be there to help me fight away the demons and right now, that is exactly what Louis is doing.

"Hey, listen Mim. So Simon says he wants to meet you."

Simon wants to meet me? Why on earth would he want to meet me? I'm just the broken girl with the lost memories who, somehow, knows the boys. I don't know why he would want to meet me. Maybe he just feels sorry for me. Or he wants me to stay away from the boys.

Who knows.

"Yeah, he said he was pretty excited to meet the girl who single-handedly made all four members of One Direction cry," I hear Niall laugh.

"It's true. But no, he said that he thinks it's a good idea, just in case you need someone else to talk to when we're all getting in your nerves."

I feel Louis put me down on the bed before moving away from me, but not far, that for which I'm grateful of. I let my eyes flutter open to see all the other boys lying on the other side of the bed, tight smiles on their faces.

I don't blame them, this is probably all very stressful. Seeing me screaming and crying as I remember one of the guys who kidnapped and tortured me. It's probably not one of their most desired situation to be in.

"So you know those pictures of Haz we put on Twitter yesterday?" Niall asks me, continuing when I nod slightly, "Well guess what's trending on Twitter right now? Hashtag Harriett is my love."

I feel a small smile form on my lips, glad that there is something that they can use to distract me from what's running through my brain at the moment. Who would have known that when I woke up this morning it would end up with me shaking and screaming as I remember a memory from the past year.

"Guys! Get ready! We have to go down to the police station!"

I twist around just in time to see Liam run through the door, his phone still in his hand. I feel my heart rate speed up again at the look on his face, knowing exactly what it means without him putting words to his facial expression.

"They have Xander in custody, we just have to go down there and give your statement."

DAMN LOUIS! BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE MIXED SIGNALS!

LOL soz for that. My friends and I have been saying it a lot lately because of a few things that happened at school!

I feel so sorry for you guys that have never eaten a Freddo Frog. They are the nicest things ever!

QOTC: Would you rather have a large 10 inch long belly button that swayed to music or have accordions for legs?

ILYSM!

SWAG ON!
