Tragic Love~ Louis Tomlison

Chapter 8~ Love You

Abbey's pov** (continuing the scene from last chapter)

"Louis?" I ask him. My voice cracks, I'm still upset from what just happened.

"Yea?" he replies quietly.

"Are you really going to protect me?" I can't help but wonder this since no one has ever really cared about me. I see him look at me out of the corner of my eyes and blush a little.

"Of course. I will never let anyone ever hurt you ever again. You don't need to worry anymore, you have me and as long as I live, no one will ever lay a hand on you. I promise." His eyes are on the road and I'm glad since his words made me cry a little. He says them with such truth and love.

"I love you." I say so quietly that I can't even hear it.

Did I really just say that? I just met him! Maybe he didn't hear me, I really hope he didn't hear me.

His hand rubs little circles on the back of my thumb. "I love you, too." he tells me with a serious tone. I guess he heard me. Part of me wishes he hadn't, but another part is on cloud nine.

"Really?" I question.

"I love you Abbey. I don't care that we just met. I've never felt this way, you mean everything to me. You are my other half. I don't know how I lived before I met you, all I know is going to your car is the best thing I have ever done. Nothing else matters when I'm with you. I love you, more then anything."  His voice cracks and my bottom lip starts to shake. He does care about me, and I care about him. I love him with all my heart. My emotions are so jumbled up right now, but all I can really concentrate on is what Louis just said.

He pulls into my driveway. He looks at me with such intensity I have to look away. Before I can say anything his lips crash into mine. I put all my love into this kiss and I feel his longing as he tugs on my hair.

I pull away to keep the kiss short and he smiles at me. "I love you" we whisper at the same time which causes him to chuckle in to cutest way.

"I guess I should go, my mum will be worried." I tell him reluctantly. He nods and I exit the car. The cold air is shocking compared to the warm car. My hand feels empty without his warm touch. I hear him pull away once I get to the porch.

The warm air of my house is lovely and I pull off my shoes and set them down. My mother walks in the room, I hope she isn't mad at me for going out without telling her.

"Out with Louis?" she asks me.

"Yes." I admit sheepishly.

"Have fun?" Her tone is pleasant so I know she isn't upset with me.

"Yes and no. I may have seen dad..." I tell her and I see her pupils get very large.

"Come again?" she says in complete shock.

I start to shake just thinking about what happened. "Me and Louis were walking to a restaurant and we passes by this bar. A group of these drunk people were outside and I looked and he was there." My mother pulls me into her arms and I begin to cry. She rubs my back, trying to calm me down.

But it's not working.

"A-and he started yelling at me and calling me all those horrible things he used to say to me. I never responded to him. Louis protected me, mum. He really d-did. He stood up to him and saved me." I tell her.

She looks me in the eyes with all her motherly love that I am so grateful to have right now. "Are you okay now, dear?" she asks me. I nod and she smiles, wiping away my tears with her thumbs. "I think Louis is a keeper." she tells me with a little smile.

"I totally agree..." I respond. I sit down on the couch while my mother finishes cleaning the kitchen.

I can't believe he said he loves me. I love him so much that it scares me. I wonder what will happen at school.

What happened with my dad today basically took out all my energy. I should go to bed.

I slowly walk up the stairs to my room. I sigh with relief when I spring myself onto the soft mattress.

I'm in love with Louis Tomlinson...and he loves me back.

I can't help but giggle just thinking about it, it sounds so weird that me, of all people,I fell in love with the most popular guy at school. And the most popular guy in school loves me.

Louis' pov**

I love you. Abbey's words float around in my mind. I can't believe it. I really can't. She actually said it.

I also can't believe we saw her dad. I can't even handle how much I hate him. He is such an evil person. Abbey is just so amazing I have no idea why he did that to her. I will never let him hurt her again. Ever.

At least I have a better idea of what she had to go through. How did she survive that? I can't even imagine how awful that must have been, to feel that no one loves you.

She has me now. And I love her, although I know that will never make up for what she went through. All I can do is make sure she knows that she will never feel unloved again. When I told her I loved her, I made a promise to myself that I will never let her go. Even if she finds someone else, I will always be there for her.

The traffic is so heavy this is going to take me forever to get home. I wonder what Abbey is doing right now.

 After like ten thousand years I'm finally home. I say hello to my mum then go straight to my room. I flop onto my bed. I can still feel her on my lips. Soft, sweet, and just absolutely lovely. When I kiss her, the way she melts into my arms makes me so happy. She is so perfect in every way. And now she's all mine.

My thoughts are filled with her until I fall asleep, and even then my dreams are of me holding her. I love you, Louis... she whispers in my dreams.
