Chapter 12 : I'll Stich It Back

Reese's POV:

After laying down for almost an hour with Lou and I babbling about our plans for next week, we finally decided to go to the shore. I fixed my dress, pulling down my dress a little because it was showing some of my thighs and like I was wearing something revealing. Yes, it is really revealing, all thanks to Eleanor but it's cute! It has the appealing cuteness and innocence when I wear this dress.

Lou turned the engine off and were already back at the harbor. Louis gently grabbed my waist and led me to the harbor until were finally settled on the hard ground. Thank god I wore my plimsolls. If I ever thought to wear black pump heels then we will have difficulty on walking carefully without falling into the water. 

"Thank you Lou." I thanked Lou as we began walking towards to the shore. It was 12:50 now, not too sunny and not too dark. I smiled as Louis tangled his left hand on my right hand. 

"So do I get to see you tomorrow after your work?" Louis asked me as he left some footprints at the sand where we are walking now. 

"Hmm.. It depends on your schedule though. What time are you off from the recording studio?" I asked Louis as I removed my plimsolls off and he picked it. 

"Nine or eight something. You babe?" He kissed my cheek as I giggled when a paparazzi was following our trail. Nice move paps. 

"Something like eight or nine. When dad's not really busy, he'll let me off early like 7:30." I answered and we completely stop because it was the paps, obviously taking some pictures and spreading it out around the world. 

"Do they know the word privacy?" I whispered to Lou as we continued walking, but in a fast pace. 

"For me, I know they do but they don't know how to respect the person's privacy because of their bull shit of a job." Louis said as we halted and in the count of three, were nkw running at the cold pavement. My feet like their on fire, considering it was not covered and it was quite sore too.

After a few quick turns and hide from the paparazzi stops, we found Louis' car. We ran towards it but yeah, every damn hell why this time? I tripped and fell, my knees were now throbbing in pain.

My tears started to fall as I felt embarrassed. The fucking paps continued to take pictures of me, throwing bunches of question in front of my vulnerable state.

Then I felt a pair of arms glided at my legs and torso, carrying me. I look at the lad who saved me from being embarrassed more with the tears on my eyes. Louis kissed my forehead as he walked to the car.

"Shh.... I won't let them invade us more." He kissed my forehead as I hid my face in his chest as he opened the door and gently slipped me inside. He quickly closed the door and thank god the windows are tinted. I don't want my horrible face be plastered at every tabloids I'll see tomorrow.

Louis quickly came after and revved the car up until were on the road, leaving the disheveled mess of paparazzi. The pain in my knee is still throbbing. Louis look worried and kissed my tear-stained cheeks. After a few sniffling and whimpers, my eyes felt heavy and I closed it, letting the darkness consumed my body. But before closing my eyes, Louis kissed my forehead and let my head rest on his shoulder.

-

I felt like I was being carried, my right knee was numb and everything and my face buried in someone's chest. The cologne smells familiar and I quickly knew it was Louis who was carrying me. The lift wasn't that very time consuming.

After a few seconds, it open and the cold air quickly enveloped my bare arms and legs. I shivered as Louis tightly wrap his arms on me. He was struggling a little bit. He was carrying my bad on his right shoulder, my plimsolls on the other hand as he walked towards the hallway.

After a few steps, Louis knocked on the door and as expected, Eleanor came and began shouting profanities at Lou. Lou just sighed as he walked inside, ignoring El's starting argument. 

"Did you know that you've got Reese's face plastered at every fucking tv!?" El barked as Louis set me down at my room and began heading towards the bathroom. After a few minutes, he had the red box with a white cross sign and opened it, taking the alcohol and betadine out and a few cottons.

"El, would you please shut up. I know you're worried about Reese but you know that paparazzi are everywhere. Us can't have those goddamn dates anymore because it will ruin Reese." Louis said as he began cleaning my wound and I mentally hissed as I continued to eavesdrop at their heated conversation. 

"Just like us Lou. The paparazzi broke us off. I know you worked as a part of a boyband and you're famous but we didn't have any privacy! You barely take us into dates and I always receive hates everyday without any of these girls knowing my life!" El roared as Louis just closed his eyes, his breathing was ragged and I know he's keeping his temper from blowing at the angry Eleanor.

"I'll protect her El! I'm serious with her now. I like her more than anything. She's important to me now. I'm sorry if I didn't protect you completely back at that time." Louis answered back. My heart lurched at his words.

"You better do Tomlinson. She's special. She's a rare jewel. Her trust is one of the most delicate thing about her. Please don't treat her like shit. She gone a lot of hell at her past relationship and her heart is still deeply wounded. Please stitch that heart back and let her have her happiness. I have trust in you Lou. I know you'll never hurt her, just please treat her like a princess." Eleanor said and sighed as she ended her long-short speech. Louis was still looking deeply at my face.

"I'll stitch her heart and treat her the way she have to be treated." Louis promised at Eleanor and kissed my forehead. 

"I'll promise that you'll be finally happy and strong Reese." I mentally smiled as Louis wrapped his arms around my waist.
