Payne's sister

chapter 29

RITA'S POV
I sat behind the counter messing with the cups of sugar packets. A boy with light brown hair and grey blue eyes walked and I immediately thought of Louis. He smiled at me. "How may i take your order?" I asked. "How about a cup of hot chocolate and maybe one for yourself." He smiled innocently. "Umm sorry can i have my shift." "No come on please plus i would get to talk to a pretty girl." He winked. "I have a boyfriend." I said nervously. "What he doesnt know won't hurt him." "That will be $3.35." He  paid for his drink and sat in a chair waiting for his drink. I made it quickly and called out his order. He gave me a wink before walking outside into the November chilly weather. Yes Louis has been gone for eight months. He was going to come back in June but then he had a couple interviews and meet and greets. He had promised to come back in January after the tour was over. It made me sad to not see him personally and i felt worse every time a customer had bought a magazine with him on the fromt cover. To make matters worse Irma had went back to Arizona to visit some family members until Christmas yesterday. That meant that i was alone and had no one to talk to when i lonely. I was all alone and j was not dealing with it well. I started to be quiet and was not eating as much. I know what a cliché i am becoming a ghost of myself for a boy. Ugh i just want to go home and watch Pretty Little Liars and go to sleep. I staryed to fix the shelves so i didnt have to do it tomorrow. I had only one other emploee with me named Nick and he was annoying. Every morning and  evening he asks me out. Like i would change my mind in 8 hours. Anyway today he asked me out and when i declined him he had huffed and walked to the back to do his job. I have finally finished the shelves and a customer came in and just sat in the chair not even ordering. She began to cry and put her hands in her hand. It made my heart break. I made her and myself a tea and sat in front of her. "Hey hun, Are you okay?" I said in a calm voice putting her tea in front of her. She  flinched and then shook her head but nevertheless took a sip of the tea letting out a sigh. "M- my boyfriend cheated on me." "Oh i am so sorry- " "Arabella. My name is Arabella." I nodded. "Do you have a place to stay?" "No i lived with him and i dont want to speak with him but i will have to eventually my stuff is there." "Tou want me to go with you and get your stuff. I have an extra room in my apartment and  all you would have to do is pay rent and groceries." "No i would be intruding i am fine staying in a hotel." "No come on i insist. Plus my roomate will love you." "You would have to ask them first." "Okay." I said grabbing my phone from my pocket dialling Irma's number.

End of convo

"Is that your girlfriend?" She asked nervously and  I laugh. "Oh no i have a boyfriend." "Okay thats cool does he live with you." "No he doesn't." "Oh cool. What is his name?" She asked finally smiling. "Louis Tomlinson." "She shrugged and continued to drink her tea. "I have to go and finish my shift but then we can go and get your stuff okay." She nodded.

I drove to Arabella's apartment building and she started to get nervous. "Lets go do this." She nodded and got out of my Jeep. She led me inside and into a elevator. She pressed the 4 button and wiped her hand on her black skinny jeans. (Outfit 👇👇)

She tugs at her long brown curly hair. "Dont be nervous I got you okay." "Okay." She says taking a deep breath. There is a ding signaling us that we are at the floor. She walks to the first door amd unlocks it. She walk to a room grabbing a large suit case folding clothes and putting them in. I help her until a door opens md then closes. She gasps. I get up and close the door locking it. "Lets finish before we let him in okay." She nods with a fearful look on her face. When she is done putting all of her clothes in which was only like 7 pairs of pants , 12 shirts, and 2 dresses she walks toward an ensuite getting a large bag filled with her toiletries putting it in the suit case. Then grabs a duffle bag and puts some towels in. Then there is a banging on the door. "Come on you little sl** get out and face me. Maybe i wont beat you hard tonight!" I gasp was arabella getting beat. She looks fearful. "No what if he hurts you." She whispered. "Trust me he wont hurt either of us." She nods and started to stuff some of her other belongings in the duffel bag. "Come on lets go home." She shakes her head. "No he is going to hurt me like always."She whispered again. I get angry I mean why would anyone hurt sweet arabella. I go to her and hug her  amd she sobs into my shirt. After a while she is calm again but the dude is still banging on the door feeding my anger. I grab the duffle bag and she zips the suitcase up and rolling it to the door. I grip the doorknob and she stiffs up. I unlock it opening and he pushes it open. "Who the he** are you?!" He yells at the sight of me." The girl helping your ex girlfriend out of this he**hole." I say calmly as I can muster. He get angry and pushes me trying to get to Arabella. She shrieks and tries to run away but i grab him and push him toward the little nightstand next to the bed. "Arabella go to the door." I say calmly and she does rolling the suitcase not being able to lift the duffle bag. Once she leave the room i look at him still pushed against the little nightstand. "Okay you little bi***. Now it's  my turn." He says pushing me off of him and  punches me in the face and in the stomach.  It takes the wind out of me but i dont back down knowing he will go after Arabella. I kick him in the stomach. He bends over clutching his stomach for a minute but then gets up and lunges at me but i kick him in his area and then kick the back of his right knee noticing he had a bad left knee. He fell to the floor and I grabbed the duffle bag closing the door behind me. I ran to see Arabella outside the  front door. I pull her into the elevator pushing the first floor. We get to the parking lot and I put her stuff in the trunk while she sits in the front with her door locked. I close the door and then he shows up and punches me in the fce and i kick him the stomach again and pull him toward the front of my car and  he starts to shuffle and tries to break free of my grip. I kick the back of both knees making him lay on the floor. I pull my phone out and call 999 siting while sitting on his back . 10 minutes later they show up and arrest him for abuse and domestic violence. They try to call an ambulance for me but I tell them that he only punched me in the cheek and that i was fine. They let me  and Arabell go home and the drive over there is silent. When we get home i show Arabella her room amd go into the batbroom to assist my bruise. But then my phone rings and  i see that it is a facetime and i answer not bothering to read the name. Then louis face comes on the screen and his eyes open wide and his mouth opens. "Rita. What in the living H*** happened to your face!!"

Hey guys it's...   Jessica?
Anyways  i know that  the police would have not let her go and would have made Arabella testify but i am not going to make a court chapter or a chapter where Arabella has to go to court for problems i will not discuss. Anyway what did you guys think? By the way you should go and read baby_girl_irma  's book Summer love? I am in it and i love it.
Yours truly
Jessica?
