Downfall [lwt]

Chapter Twenty Four - Nobody Compares

"It's alright, Lou. She can come." Harry says grabbing my hand.

Since Louis doesn't know that Harry is gay... Then that means that he thinks Harry and I are some sort of thing. I couldn't imagine that either.

We get to this pub-like place and I see Louis and Marcy immediately head for the bar.

"I'm guessing they're going to get absolutely hammered tonight." Harry says as I let out a muffled laugh.

Harry and I grab a few drinks before he disappears into the crowd. I sit at the bar and order a drink as I see Finley and Niall stumbling up to me.

"Hey guys..?" I say as they sit next to me.

"Hey um... Bella?"

"Yeah?" 

"Ya know that Louis loooooves you, right?" Finley slurs.

"Sure, Finley. I better get you guys home..."

"Nah. We can get 't a taxi." Niall says sounding a bit more sober than Finley. 

Someone sits next to me and smiles to me. I turn to him and he has brown hair and blue eyes, like Louis. Except he looks like an older version of Louis. 

Breaking me out of my thoughts he speaks. "Hi. I'm Mark." 

"I'm Bella."

"So I've heard. You're the girl that's dating Louis Tomlinson, am I right?" 

He has a similar British accent as him except it's a bit more... Thick?

"Yeah... Well- I was." 

I hear a bunch of coughing behind me and I turn around to find Louis stumbling over to the bar coughing up a storm. I cringe and look over to where Marcy is and she is grinding on some dude.

"I've got to take care of him..." I point to Louis holding himself up on the counter.

"If you ever want to talk, call me." He smiles handing me a piece of paper.

I nod and walk over to Louis who's barely even standing. 

"Louis, you should really go home." 

"What are you talking about?" He spits angrily as I take him outside.

"I'm saying that you're drunk off your ass and you can't even stand up right. Go home." I state bravely as he sighs.

"I don't have a home." 

"Yes you do." 

"No I don't, Bella. I am so sick of you thinking that you know about my life. After you left me I had no where to go." 

"What are you talking about?! You have the boys!" I say trying not to raise my voice. 

"You think they really like me? I party, drink, fuck some poor girl, and leave." He sneers as I cringe again.

Instead of saying something I shake my head and he keeps talking.

"I miss you but I can't deal with this shit anymore. I just hate the world." 

"Why? What has anyone ever done to you? This is probably why people don't like you! Because you just judge everyone before even getting to know them, plus that's all you do! You don't hate the world, you hate yourself for doing this!" He keeps his mouth shut as I call for a taxi.

"I know you're killing yourself inside, Louis. You're hurting so bad that you choose to do this to yourself. You can't stand anyone else being happy so you just choose to live your life like this."

"Shut up! That's not true!" He screams as I look around for any paparazzi.

"Keep your damn voice down!"
