Dangerous Assumptions

Chapter 7(:

So sorry for the long wait! My friend emailed me the chapter like two months ago, I have just been so busy with college. Sorry again!

Would you stop pacing already?  It’s not helping.”  Niall said referring to Louis’ incessant pacing.  The poor man had been completely out of sorts after the disappearance of Ella.  Not that it was unexpected, after all Louis had just lost his child.  That was not exactly a laughing matter. 

“I can’t fucking help it!  Niall, I just lost my daughter!  Allie trusted me with her and now look.  Niall I’m the worst father ever.  Even if we do find Ella I can’t be-“

Niall stopped Louis from continuing.  “We will find her, and I’m sure she’s fine.  It isn’t your fault…”  Niall was not really sure what to say in a situation like this, what did he know?  “We could call Vanessa and-“

Louis interrupted Niall before he could continue.  “Great idea, let’s go and tell Ali’s best friend that we lost Ella.”  Louis said sarcastically.

“Wait we?  I might be missing something here, but it’s your daughter, and you were the one to lose her, not me.  Look Louis I’m going to help you find Ella no matter what but…”  Niall immediately stopped, that was not coming out right.  Probably the very worst thing he could say right now is that it was Louis’ fault.  “Not that this is your fault.”  He added before Louis could comment.  Obviously this conversation was not going well.  Louis was so panicked about losing his daughter, and Niall had no clue how to help. 

Louis sank down onto the floor, running his hands through his hair letting out a sigh.  He felt defeated.  He had no idea where to look, he and Niall had searched the entire mall three times already, without any luck.  Louis was at a loss for ideas, what could he do next.  He had already alerted mall security, he even contacted the police out of desperation, but nothing had helped him get any closer to finding his daughter.  The initial adrenaline and panic had worn off and now Louis was without his daughter and at a loss for what to do next.  He was not even listening to Niall at this point.  You never realize how truly terrifying losing your child is until it actually happens.  Although a better parent wouldn’t lose their child.  “I’ve got to find her Niall, I don’t know how, but I have to find Ella.”  He said finally, cutting Niall off mid-sentence.

Niall sat down beside Louis.  “I know.  We will find her Louis, she can’t have just disappeared.”  He said before both fell completely silent.

“Oh my gosh it’s Niall and Louis!”  Some girl exclaimed excitedly as she ran over, dragging someone behind her.  “I absolutely love you guys!  You’re ama-“

“Lil, look at them.  They aren’t in the mood.”  Her friend, the one that the girl had dragged behind her said giving an apologetic smile.

“Oh my gosh Hannah I have waited forever to meet them just because you’re tired and you did not get to go sight seeing like you wanted today does not mean you can ruin this for me!”  the girl exclaimed.  “I can not believe I had to take you with me!”

“Lil enough, I have wasted my entire vacation doing everything you wanted to do, and I’m not going to let you bother these guys, got it?  Now let’s go.”  The other girl said walking away.  After a few seconds her friend, or sister or whoever the girl was gave a loud and annoyed sigh and followed after her.

On any normal day Louis might have paid more attention to what had just happened, he might have bothered to say hello to the girl that was obviously a fan, but not this time.  He was grateful that the other girl had noticed.  After several minutes had passed, with Louis still sulking, his thoughts were once again interrupted.
