Reliant

Chapter 7

Louis's POV
This was only getting uglier. Niall was so mad, clenching his fists. "I WARNED YOU SHE IS OFF LIMITS" he spat at me and Brea was only getting angrier and more defensive as was I. "SHE ISNT YOURS TO GIVE LIMITS ON" I retaliated. "OH YES SHE IS" "OH NO IM NOT! I am a human being Niall not some fucking object like you seem to think I am-" "Watch your tone and language with me or your pretty arse will be in more danger as I make the rules" he threatened her but she wasn't backing down. "FUCK YOUR RULES MORON! I love how I seem to be off limits to everyone else other than you, then after we make the mistake of having sex you act all like I'm yours and clingy like a bloody insecure shit! Well guess what Niall? I am no one's, I am my own person and I can with who the fuck I want to be, plus I didn't intend to love him! Just like I didn't choose to be in this gang and I am grateful eternally that you took me in and gave me somewhat a family, but this isn't how any of us really want to live. Especially not with some neurotic, coldhearted and domineering leader like you Niall, your a great leader at what you do but there are lines and you over step those lines thinking you can control everyone's emotions, actions and feelings but a heads up Niall you don't get to control them. What feelings Louis and I may have for each other don't concern you, it's between us and you can't jusf expect to shoot him and the problem of your territorial issue be gone, it will happen again and again until soon enouvh you've shot all your own men dead purely because your a protective jackass...Louis and I love each other and nothing you so can change that, so I suggest you either let go of the leash you think you have a hold on, or I'm out, I will leave this gang behind. I have no doubt you'd shoot Louis because of this, but maybe think about what kind of environment you create here with you cold unapproachable nature and these strict prison rules you have, in the end it's kinda your fault we got so close and come together so don't take it out on us for your own doings. If you really don't want a relationship being had here, I will leave and save Louis's and yours partnership. I would do anything to save him....and also I'd stop being such a pathetic little girl and admit it if you were jealous of Lou and I, instead of making yourself look like a bipolar female! You get all that, boss?" And I was stunned and how she stood up to him, so hard not to hug and kiss her right now. She finally admitted she loves me!! Feels like I've been waiting forever. I've been a bit distant to try and stop the pain of her not loving me back but she does love me. "YOU LITTLE RAT" Niall spat at her and raised a hand to her but Trey and I intervened. "YOU WILL NOT LAY A FINGER ON MY SISTER AGAIN NIALL" Trey yelled shocking us all a bit. "You won't touch her, you'd regret it" I said looking straight at him. I heard a scratching noise and saw Brea was itching the fuck out of her arm and I knew she was suicidal. "I have to go" she whimpered and ran off. "Brea no wait don't!" I said and saw Trey run . "DONT DO IT BREA STOP" Trey yelled after her. I was about to join when Niall said "I hope she does it, I hope she does them so deep she bleeds out and dies" and I lost it. I threw two solid punches at him when I felt Harry and Liam hold me back and they took me away to cool off.

Brea's POV
I bolted to my bathroom and grabbed the razor, I had to FUCKING hell fhe urges, my head is going to implode if I don't. I soon heard Trey just behind me racing in and I did three cuts and he slapped the razor out of my hand and pulled me in for a hug and I just remained motionless and in pain. "You were so brave little one" he said softly as he wrapped a bandage around my arm. "Or really foolish" I replied and he chuckled, "no just brave. What you said to him got through to an extent, give him time to cool down and see how it goes. You alright after Malcolm?" I nodded and did a tiny smile. "So first time you told Lou you loved him huh?" He asked and I said "Yeh, how'd you know?". "His face. It lit up like nothing I've ever seen, plus he's been really down the past few weeks so I put it together that he was in the dumps that he said he loved you and you didn't say It back" I smiled and nodded. "You going to be alright tonight sis?" He asked looking at me. "I'll be fine. Need a good rest after tonight" and he planted a kiss on my head and left. I got changed into a hoodie and tracksuit pants and sat out on my balcony. 20 minutes later I heard familiar footsteps and saw a figure sit down next to me. I had a few tears falling down my face. "You're in love with me?" Lou asked seriously. I sighed and replied "More than you could imagine". "Why couldn't you tell me? I've been waiting so long to hear you loved me back..." he exasperated. "I wanted to bury them within because we were never going to work, the rules the secrecy...it already killed me that I loved you and couldn't show it properly..." and I felt more tears. "Brea all I ever wanted was to hear you felt the same...even if it meant we couldn't do anything about it...I'm so head over heels for you" "and I'm crazy for you" I replied and looked at him. "Shhh hey don't cry princess" he soothed and he pulled me into him and I rested on his toned and muscular chest. "I've always loved you" I spoke up and he I could sense his smile. "As have I B" he answered and kissed my lips. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

I woke up and found i was in my bed, with no Louis which i understand. We are very rough waters currently. I heard my phone ringing, "Hello Liam" i answered. "Hey Brea, Niall wants you in his office now, alone" "Alright give me 5 minutes and i will be there" and i hung up. I chucked on a black hoodie and black ripped skinny jeans and chucked my hair into a pony tail. I knocked on his door and he said "Come in" and i entered quite nervous. "Take a seat" he said and i slowly took one. "Look im going to jump right into my reason for you being called down here, i really did not appreciate your attitude and tone with me last night, i am your boss and i deserve the utmost respect, however i know i am an asshole about it all. The reason i made the rule of no intimate relationships is to save lives so no one was clouded by emotions within a fight or anything similar regarding irrational judgements, not because im purely against the concept of relationships, but you had a point last night Brea. I am jealous of Louis because i do have some feelings for you and am very protective...I really don't want you to leave the gang Brea but i can not jeopardize the safety of all the others because of you, your worth so much and i would do anything for you and that is why i can not let this relationship work in the gang. No one including me needs the distraction and disturbed judgement. There are a few solutions i have come up with and ultimately the choice is between the both of you. The first option is that either one of you leave, or second option is you break it off and both stay, or the last one which i do not want, you both leave if your love is that strong that you feel unable to be apart.." he finished. "Niall i respect how you wish to keep everyone safe but if you expect me to be grateful for these options then i can't do that" i replied and got up towards the door. Louis cant leave, this is home. And he won't be able to break it off either...there is only one thing i can do. "Brea wait...i am sorry" he said trying to comfort me but i didnt want his pity. "Please don't do anything to yourself!" he added and i heard his voice crack. I slammed the door shut and told myself to keep it together so no one could know anything was wrong.I went to my floor and grabbed two bags and packed them with some clothes and my necessities. No one wil be coming up here for a while, Louis is out with Harry and Trey. I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote two separate letters. It took 30 minutes for that and i heard the elevator and hid my stuff so no one knew my agenda. I wasnt going to let myself become unoccupied and break down. "Hey how'd it go?" Louis asked. "How'd what go?" i queried. "The talk with Niall...you went didn't you?" "Something came up so he cancelled it" i shrugged and he came and hugged me tightly. "I love you so much" and he kissed the top of my head. "I love you too baby" and i snuggled into him but wanted to cry because of what i had to do.

At 10pm Louis went to his floor for the night and i grabbed out my things and put the letters on the table in my kitchen. I put tape over the window and was grateful that the music from the bar above to hollow out the smashing of my window. I smashed it and attacked a rope to the balcony and had my on my back as i slid down. I reached the bottom and ran. "Bye guys" i said quietly before i bolted and grabbed a taxi. "Dont look back" i told myself. I had a letter for Trey and Louis, they will be shattered.
