Hostage

Chapter 38- Letting Go

Liam POV

Before what Louis said had even registered in my mind, he had knocked Zayn onto the ground. Now, they were in a full out brawl on the ground, and both of them were holding their own very well. There were fists being thrown, expletives being yelled, and I had no idea what to do. So I yelled out the name of that guard that Louis told me earlier.

"Caroline!"

I would jump in there and stop them myself, but I'm fairly sure they wouldn't stop, so why risk my pretty face?

"Caroline!"

"You're such a dick! I can't believe you would do this to me!"

"Stop making everything about you, you arrogant jerk!"

All 3 very different sentences that weren't helping anything right now. When the fight was getting really bad, I saw a blonde running out of the corner of my eye.

"Louis! Stop! Now!"

I'm assuming this was Caroline. She had brought two guys with her, and they easily stopped the fight. Zayn and Louis both looked utterly pissed off right now. Whether because of the fight or because of the fact that they couldn't finish, I wasn't sure. 

"Louis! Have you lost your mind?” Caroline asked, "You're not supposed to be fighting! That's like the number one rule here."

"I don't care, Care. He slept with Reagan!"

How would Caroline know who Louis's ex-girlfriend was? 

"Your ex-gi-."

"My ex-friend! Yes! He-", Louis pointed to Zayn, "slept with her!"

"So?!” Zayn shouted back, "You said you didn't care! I told you the truth unlike you who just let me find it out myself! Then, after I was honest with you about it, you attack me? What is wrong with you? You're supposed to be my friend!"

"I am! But, you're not treating me like one!" 

Louis was still struggling to get out of the guard's arms, but Zayn had calmed down, so they had already released him.

"Louis, answer me this. Why do you care so much about who Reagan is with or not? You said it yourself that you didn't want to be her friend anymore, so what is it?"

"I don't. She can sleep with you all she wants, but I was just paying you back."

Zayn glanced at me, and I just shrugged. I had no idea what he was talking about.

"Paying me back? For what?"

"You remember when you found out about me and Reagan sleeping together? What did you do?"

Realization washed over Zayn's face before he rolled his eyes and looked at the ground. I saw where Louis was going with this.

"What did you do, Zayn? You punched me, didn't you? Yes, you did. So, I was just paying you back for what you did."

"I punched you once, Lou. You full-on attacked me."

"Excuse me for getting a little carried away", Louis smirked, "Like I said, I don't care who or what Reagan does. You can have her; just keep the filthy details to yourself."

Louis finally stopped struggling, and the guards released him.

"Caroline, you can take me back to my cell now. We're done here."

"Um, not exactly", Caroline said.

"What?" 

"You know there's no fighting here. You have to face the consequences."
