My Guardian Angel

Chapter 14

Louis's P.O.V

"Hayden!" I yelled running over to her.

I was almost beside her when the man pushed me away. I fell to the floor with a thud and got the wind knocked out of me.

"Who the hell are you!" The man yelled in my face. You could smell the alcohol in his breath.

"I...I'm Hayden's boyfriend! Who the hell are you?" I asked gasping for air.

"Her father!" He yelled.

Shocked didn't even begin to describe how I felt. How could you abuse your own child like this?

I was beginning to stand up when the man grabbed me by my shirt and raised his arm. I closed my eyes and waited for the impact of his knuckles with my face but it never came.

"Dad stop!" Hayden yelled pushing her dad back and standing in front of me protectively.

"Fine!" He said pushing Hayden to the ground. He then punched her in the face and began kicking her in the stomach. With every yelp of pain I grew more and more angry.

I pushed Hayden's dad with all of my force into the wall. It didn't take him long to recover because he then threw me against the wall and a shooting pain ran up my back. He came at me again and threw me to the ground a second time and punched me multiple times. In the face, the ribs, the stomach. And I couldn't even stop him.

It didn't end there though. He then kicked me in the stomach and started to choke me. I tried to pry his fingers off my neck but it was no use. I could feel my eyes starting to roll in the back of my head. I knew this was it. I was just about to black out when I felt the force being lifted of me as Hayden's dad fell to the ground.

Hayden's P.O.V.

I watched in horror as my dad began beating up Louis. I never meant for this to happen. He was punching him and kicking him and I was still trying to breathe normally but it was hard because I was crying so hard.

Just then I saw my dad beginning to choke Louis. His grip was strong around his neck and I could see Louis trying to pry his fingers off of his neck, just like I do when I'm in that position.

Louis's face was turning purple and I knew I had to do something or else my dad was going to kill him. Louis was my world, I couldn't have him leave me like my mother did. I quickly grabbed my lamp and hit my dad in the back of the head.

My father fell to the ground with a thud and I knew he was out cold. I quickly ran over to Louis, tears streaming down my face.

Louis's P.O.V

I was laying on the ground half conscious and gasping for air. Hayden soon came up next to me and scooped me up so I was rested into her arms.

"Louis. I..I am so sorry." She said in between sobs.

"It's okay. As long as your safe that's all that matters." I managed to croak out. Forcing the tiniest smile to form on my lips.

"We need to get out of here before he wakes up. Can you walk?" She asked me.

"I can try." I said struggling to sit up.

Hayden helped me up and I was leaning on her for support. We made it way out of the room and down the stairs. We started walking to my house and I tried to walk on my own as much as I could but it was basically useless. I was so weak.

We were just a couple of houses away and I has half conscious. My breathing was labored and I could barely keep my eyes open or even hold up my own head. Everything was beginning to be a blur.
