[9] you're hiding something

Louis was testing my nerves and I didnt want to put up with his shit anymore. I released his shirt and pushed him down back into the chair and started for the door.

"Where ya going, lad?"

"Now I can see why Lacey never wanted you. You're nothing more than SCUM you worthless little bastard."

I spat the words out at him and I expected a smart response.

"At least she wouldn't have to fake it with me." he chuckled devilishly . I couldn't take it anymore. my hand fell from the door handle and I stormed over to Louis. My fists bawled and ready to swing.

Niall, what a cute name. What a cute boy.

"Nice name.."

"Yeah thanks. what are you doing out, it must be 4 A.M."

"Oh I was uh, looking for someone but I obviously failed in finding him, now I have to get back home."

He grabbed my hand and pulled me from the wet puddle. since we were eye to eye, I could see his pools of oceanic blue and grey even better.

"I can drive you, if you want.."

Wow. that escalated quickly. but ya know. he just saved my life too. He didn't look like a rapist. or kidnapper, not even anyone who could hurt me.

He looks...like I little cute boy.

"Uh. yeah sure."

A smile curved across Nialls face, revealing a nice set of clear/ transparent braces.

Whilst heading for the car, all I could think about was Harry and if he was ok or not.

"Hit me. I DARE you to. Lacey would never want white trash like you are."

"Shut your mouth." I basically spat in Louis face. there was so much anger building inside of me, I felt like steam would come out my ears .

Then, everything just went dark with blind fury. I wasnt myself. My fists swung wildly, each time connecting with Louis jaw or nose. Sometimes even abdomen. After 3 blows, Louis arose from the group wiping blood off his mouth with the back of his shirt leave.

"Is that all ya got? I CAN take more ya know."

I raised my fist for one more blow, which was a bad idea because Lauis finally decided to go on defensive mode. His arms blocked mine and he swept my legs from under me. My head banged off the hardwood in living area and my upper body already ached from the impact .

He laid over me, knocking my head left and right. He grabbed a handful of curls and bashed my head into the floor, the back of my skull bounced off the ground with a loud thud.

By the time I could push him off of me, blood was trickling down my head and nose, onto the front and back of my shirt. I groaned and shook the pain away and lunged for him once more.

"JUST . STAY . DOWN !"

I shouted, and between each word, I threw a fist and the impact increased each time until finally, my fists were like bricks of iron and I striked his lower jaw. Obviously making him unconscious.

I stood over him, watching the blood from his nose roll over his cheek and down onto the floor. What did I just do. What about when his parents find him. Shit. what about Lacey! I had to go back and get her.

Niall and I arrived at my house, and Harry's car still wasn't home. How could he do this to me. Regardless, I invited Niall inside for a drink or some food.

"Pretty house you have here."

"Thanks, Niall. Just make yourself at home." I said, walking into the kitchen, grabbing two plates and pouring some Doritos out onto them each.

"I hope you like chips, sorry I just didnt feel like cooking." I said, handing the plate over to Niall and sitting text to him.

"Haha, I like all kinds of food. I'll eat anything, trust me." he smiled then began to look down towards the ground and his smile faded.

"I uh. I notice you have an accent. Different than English. Are you like. Scottish?"

"Oh,.uh. Ha, no. Im Irish. I noticed you have quite a strange accent too." his smile reappeared and his eyes widened.

"Well yeah. Im American, silly."

"Not just American. Im going guess you're...a Texan?" Niall raised and eyebrow and giggled.

"Haha. Good job! and im gonna guess you're not a natural blonde?" I leaned in towards him a little and giggled.

"Well, your hair isnt natural either my darling."

My response got cut off when I saw car headlines beam in from outside through the windows and heard a door slam. SHIT.

I jumped up, ran to the door and locked it.

"Niall! go upstairs. Go hide. now!" he stood up dazed and confused.

"Why??"

"Please Niall!!!! just please."

he darted up the stairs and I unlocked the door, ran and jumped on the couch right when Harry pushed past the doors. My eyes pulled up and looked at Harry. He stood in the doorway, frozen.

"LACEY! BABY IM SO SORRY." he ran to me, knelt down and ran his fingers through my hair, checked my arms and checked my face

"Are you ok?? Are you hurt oh my god. im so aorrt I just had to--"

"Harry, stop it. Stop. It's ok. I promise it's ok." I kissed his lips and stoked his face, lightly. I thought everything was going to be ok until..

"CAN I COME DOWN NOW?!"

Niall shouted from upstairs. Oh my fucking GOD.

"Who was that?" Harry stood up and looked more confused than angry.

"Nobody, Harry. I have no clue what you're talking about."

"Lacey. You're fucking joking me right?? You're hiding something."

Oh, will Lacey tell him? or will she leave and fall for Niall?
