Fate

Chapter 6

Louis' POV:

I felt so bad, I should have felt relieved that she finally got the message. But it felt like part of me was missing. Her. I was glad that she didn't come running out of the room after me. As soon as I walked out the room I bumped into Harry.

"Are you ok?" He asked me, I sighed heavily he was the last person I wanted to speak to.

"Yes"

"You sure you look upset" Harry questioned, he annoyed me so much sometimes. He was oblivious to the fact that I had just left his best friend in tears he was concerned about me.

"Yes I'm fine" I said and walked off.

I walked out of college I didn't care about missing my last lesson PE. I walked down the road to the corner shop to buy some cigarettes. As I walked out the shop I bumped into Niall.

"You know you're gonna get lung disease from them" Niall said and I rolled my eyes at him.

"I really don't care right now" I said and walked in the opposite direction towards my house.

"Wait" Niall shouted "I've been meaning to ask you"

"What" I just wanted to be alone, I didn't feel like talking to anyone. I pulled my lighter out my pocket and lit a cigarette.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he softly said.

"Fine" I gave in.

"Why did you do it?" he was always prying for information.

"I've already told you, I was sick of her psycho brother" I snapped at him, I immediately regretted it when I saw his face drop. "Sorry, its just not been a good day for me"

"Yeah but you don't seem like someone who would be intimidated by Joe. He scares the shit outa me but you're not afraid of anything"

He was going to find out the truth sooner or later so I though I might as well just tell him as he'd find out sooner or later. "He saw me, that night a few weeks ago when we went to your cousins party. He saw me kiss that girl, the one you said was hot. He said I had to break up with his sister or he'd tell her what happened"

"The one in the little black dress?" He asked, I thought he would have been surprised at what I had just said.

"Yeah"

"What She's the one I kissed."

"Well you can have her I really don't care"

"Why didn't you just tell Joe to keep it a secret" Niall asked and I laughed at his stupidity.

"Do you really think he would keep something like that from his sister."

"I dunno. I'm seeing Sarah tonight." Niall said, I had no clue what he was talking about .

"Who?" I asked him.

"The one in the little black dress" I really didn't care about Sarah, I was drunk when I kissed her I didn't even remember the kiss properly.

"Do you really think I'd care about the girl who split up my relationship."

"No but you always seem to steal my girls so I was just making things clear. You don't even seem that sad about the breakup anyway." Niall knew exactly what questions annoyed me and he seemed to be asking all of them in the same day.

"Well I can't really do anything about it now." I said truthfully. "Just make sure you don't tell Lexi"

"I wont, but I feel so bad now I know the proper reason." It annoyed me so much sometimes how he always acted like a good person when his past was worse than mine.

"Well clear it from your head, just don't tell her"

Lexi's POV:

I was glad that I was walking home from college after a terrible day. I felt like such an idiot when Louis apologised. I thought that everything would be fine again, but no. I walked in the living room and my Joe was sitting there smiling at me. I still wasn't speaking to him and I knew he was trying to make me snap.

"You know sometimes I wish you weren't my brother" I yelled at Joe.

"You wouldn't say that if you knew what your ex boyfriend was really like" He had always hated Louis but he never really had said why.

"You're just making things up" he looked at me and said nothing "See I can tell you're lying"

"I'm not its for the best anyway, Louis is too good for you" I laughed at his stupidity, if Louis was too good for me we would still be together and he'd be begging for me not the other way round.

"That's what you think but we were happy until you ruined everything"

"It wouldn't have lasted anyway and you know that"

"See you even admit you're the reason for the break up"

"No I'm not but. I'm glad he dumped you or I would have made you dump him soon." I couldn't believe what he had just said. He was so controlling and manipulative and I hated him for it.

"You don't care about anyone. You just like to ruin things. If dad was here he would be happy that I was happy but you just cant bear to see anyone happy"

Joe clenched his teeth together and I could see a vein protruding from his head. Whenever I mentioned dad it hit a raw nerve with him.

"You know that I want to see you happy more than anything. But not with Louis you'd have seen sooner or later what he's like."

"I was happy with Louis why couldn't you see that. I wish you had died in the crash instead of dad" as soon as the words left my mouth I wanted to scoop them back in. I didn't really mean to say it, I didn't even mean it. I loved Joe I was just angry.

He stared right through me, my eyes welled up with tears. "I didn't mean it. I'm sorry"

He looked at me and turned away his fist crashed through the glass panel in the living room. Glass flew in all different directions, he screamed in pain and anger. I knew he had anger issues but he had never done anything like that. he moved his hand away from the door and there was a fist shaped hole. The edges were dripping with blood, it looked like something from a horror movie. There was a small pool of blood on the floor which got bigger and bigger as seconds passed.

I ran past Joe into the kitchen to get a towel, I gave it to him and ran to Andy's room. I had wondered why he hadn't heard anything but his headphones were in on full blast.

"Andy" I yelled but he didn't hear me so I ripped the headphones from him.

"What, why did you do that"

"You need to come downstairs, quick. there's been an accident. There's blood everywhere you need to take Joe to the hospital."

"What" He asked confused. "Is this some joke?"

"No it's serious come on now" I yelled and ran back down the stairs.

Joe was groaning he was bent over and had his head on the floor. he looked pale. The whole towel was covered in blood so I ran back into the kitchen and pulled everything out the airing cupboard to find another towel. I couldn't stop thinking about how the whole thing was my fault.

"Oh my god" I heard Andy shout from the other room.

I ran back into the room and tied the clean towel over his bloody hand. Andy helped him up towards the front door.

"Sh sh sh she's staying here" Joe managed to say and I looked pleadingly at Andy.

"Yeah he's right it's probably better if you stay" Andy said and they went out the door.
