Bad Influence

39

I sat next to Louis until he woke up. Stan and Nikki had gone back to class, I honestly did not want to be in class anyways. I looked at Louis as he started to open his eyes. "You scared me." I told him. "Angel?" He asked before he sat up. I just smiled a little at him. "Please don't tell mum." Louis begged. "And why not? She needs to know that your best friend, or what used to be your best friend anyways, beats you so much that you faint." I said. Louis shook his head. "Leave it. I'm handling it." He told me. "You're not handling it very well Lou." I said. "Just go to class at let me take care of it. It's not a big deal. I'm used to it." Louis said. "Used to it?!" I asked. "Angel. Leave it." Louis said. "No, I won't. And you know why? Because I deserve to know the truth. Why one of my best friends since I was like seven beats you up everyday. I have a right to know!" I said while looking at Louis. Louis sighed. "I don't know why alright? It just happened one day. I was kicked off the football team and I sat in the hallway quite sad about it, when he came. I got up and thought that he would say something to help or suggest we get drunk somewhere, or skips class. But he did not. He just walked over to me with Chad and Chester after him and punched me. He never told me why. It just kept happening. Sometimes Chad and Chester would do it while he stood there not doing shit. Hannah broke up with me a few days later after it all happened." Louis said. "Oh Louis. Why did you not tell me? I would have gotten home to kick Brad's ass." I said. Louis flinched as he heard Brad's name.  "How long has Brad been doing this?" I asked. Louis flinched again. "A-all year." Louis said with a bit of a stutter. "Louis." I said. "It's fine. I'm used to it." Louis said. "That is not ok! You have to tell someone!" I said. Louis shook his head. "That only makes it worse. I bet you standing up for me has made it worse." Louis said.

"Are you sure we're not going to call a cab?" I asked as I helped Louis out to the car. "Yes, Stan can drive us home." Louis said. I sighed. "And I'm still not allowed to tell mum?" I asked. "Yeah, she has her own problems, she don't need mine, and she did not need yours." Louis said. "What?" I asked as Louis covered his mouth. "Louis!" I raised my voice. Louis flinched and covered himself. "Please don't." He whispered. "Oh, no, no, no, no. Lou. I'm so sorry." I said. "I-I'm sorry." Louis said. I looked at him before I gave him a hug. "I didn't know that raising my voice would scare you. I'm so sorry Boo Bear." I said. Louis pulled away and gave me gentle smile. "I-I'm just not used to loud voices and no hitting or kicking." He said. "I'm so sorry you had to go through this alone. I'm really sorry for being the worst sister in the world and only focus on my problems." I said. "I didn't tell anyone. Stan only found out because he was there when it happened one time. He helped me, even if I was a dick to him. We became friends and he tried to stick up fro me but Chad or Chester would just punch him. I told him to stop and just stay quiet. He didn't deserve to get beaten up because of me." Louis said. "That is not ok, in any way. I'm so getting back on Brad for this. That bastard hurt you, and dragged down your friend. I'm putting an end to this." I said before I helped Louis into the car and closed it. Louis rolled down the window. "Angel." He started but I was gone before he could answer.

I didn't have a plan, but I was not just going to sit and do nothing. No way. I walked straight to the smoking corner of school. And there he stood, with all of he minions. "Stevens!" I said as I walked over. Brad turned and looked at me. "What?" He asked his tone being annoyed. "How dare you?" I asked. "I got it, I won't hurt Louis. Trust me, I won't." Brad said. "You're a piece of shit. Did you know that?" I asked. Brad was about to answer, but I interrupted. "I'm going to tell you something. You do know, and you're going to blame your parents, or Daniel or maybe even Louis for that. But let me tell you something. Louis was your best friend. He gave you money when you needed it, he let you stay in our house on his coach, he always had your back. And what did you do? You just starts to beat him up. Yeah, he might have done some bad things, but he would always be there for you. He knew about your situation and he never told a soul! He could easily have outed you this year, but he didn't. Louis could have just let Chad and Chester beat up Stan, but he didn't. He took all of your bullshit because he still cares. You were his best friend! And I hope you know that no matter what you think now, he would still have let you crash on his coach if you ever came over. Because he cares. But you clearly don't. So let me make this clear, I hope you know what you have done. Because he is scared and hurt. Both physically and mentally. And I hope it was worth it. Because you did not only lose him Brad, you lost me. I loved you, but what you did is unforgivable, and I hope you realize that." I said before I turned around and walked away. Louis would always be the person in my life I would do anything for, no matter what.

New part! Here you go!

I hope you enjoy!

Also I would like to say, that Louis is an amazing person. Going on stage like that after what happened to his mother? That is incredible. And Johanna would have been so proud, I mean we're all so proud of him! And I know I didn't say this in the last part, but I am saying it now. And I love Louis, he is amazing in every single way!

I'll see you next Monday with another part.
