The Girl With Lips Of An Angel

A Little Too Late For That

Louis

Liam, Zayn, Harry, Hayley and I were sitting on the bus which is still parked near the theme park. We were mucking around with each other when Ashton comes in with a concerned expression on his face with Rae right next to him.

“Rae?” Liam says.

“Yeah, it’s me,” she says out of breath with a worried expression on her face.

“What are you doing here?” Zayn asks.

“Well I came over here for help,” she says.

“Help with what? Couldn’t you just ask Kaitlyn?” Hayley asks.

“Kaitlyn!? Yes! She’s in trouble,” she says in a rush.

I jump out of my seat and run over to her, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s Lucas. We got there and the whole house was trashed and he was sitting on the couch with alcohol in a glass. Louis, I’m really worried,” she says.

Rae’s attention flicks to her denim shorts pocket and she pulls out her mobile phone. She looks at the caller I.D and immediately answers it with a worried look.

“Nick... Yeah it’s Kaitlyn. She’s in trouble… Yes it’s because of Lucas… An hour!? Something bad could have happened before then… Okay, I’ll figure something out for the mean time… Okay, bye Nick,” she says and hangs up, “Nick, Kaitlyn’s brother,” she says to me as she sets her  phone on the table beside her and puts her head in her hands.

I knew I shouldn’t have let Kaitlyn go there by herself. I had an inkling that something bad was going to happen, I just fucking knew it! And now she is stuck in that damn house with her lunatic of a boyfriend. God knows what he could be doing to her right now. No, Louis, don’t think like that.

The ringing of Rae’s cell phone brings me away from my thoughts. She shakes her head and Ashton answers it instead.

“Yellow?” He says and sets it on loud speaker.

“Where’s Rae?” A voice sobs and I immediately recognise it as Kaitlyn.

“Kaitlyn, is that you?” Ashton says panicked.

“Yes, it’s me. Who is this? Where’s Rae?” She continues to sob.

“It’s Ashton and Rae is right here, hang on a sec,” he says. He quickly nudges Rae’s shoulder and shows her the caller I.D. She gasps and directs her attention to the device.

“Kaitlyn! Oh my god, why are you crying?” She rushes.

“L-Lucas-“ She starts before we hear muffled sounds and what sounds like the clatter of the phone. We hear Kaitlyn scream and I gasp.

“Kaitlyn!” We all yell.

“Lucas, please! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again, just stop hurting me!” I hear her cry.

“Shut the fuck up!” He yells, “Did I tell you that you could call for help? Huh!?”

Oh my god, what is he doing to her? She needs help!

I quickly snatch up the keys to the van and stalk out the bus doors with Liam, Ashton and Rae following swiftly behind me. We all get in and I ask Rae for directions and follow her words. We pull up to their holiday house and I immediately jump out of the van, not worrying about turning it off. Rae goes in front of me quickly to open the door. She opens tries to open it without the keys but has no luck.

“Lucas must have locked it,” she mutters to herself.

She pulls out her keys from her pocket and quickly unlocks the door. As soon as she does, the first thing I see is Lucas’ fist connecting with Kaitlyn’s face with such force that it forces Kaitlyn backward and hit her head on the wall.  We all gasp.
