Let Me Help You (Zouis)

Chapter 18 (part 1)

Louis turned to see Zayn with pain filling his eyes and stepped away from Mike.

"Uh...Zayn this is Mike. Mike this is Zayn". Mike smiles and steps past Louis, holding his hand out.

"Hi Zayn, Lou has told me a lot about you". Zayn stares at the hand and barely knows what he wants to do.

"Zayn, Mike is my friend from high school. He moved away when we were 14 and I haven't seen him since. We're just two old friends catching up I swear". Zayn frowns.

"You don't need to explain anything to me Louis. We aren't dating and you're not mine so you're free to see and date whoever you want. It was nice seeing you". Zayn turns to walk away but Louis grabs his arm to stop him.

"Zayn please don't leave".

"You know what Lou? Here's my number. We can catch up another time". Mike leaves with a friendly smile and Louis looks down at the piece of paper then back up to Zayn.

"Zayn please don't be upset. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I didn't know what Liam did. I'm so so sorry-"

"It's okay. Of course you'd listen to him. He's your son".

"That doesn't excuse the way I talked to you. Zayn please come back? The boys are with their grandmother and I really want to spend some time with you". Before they knew it Louis was in Zayn's arms while they rapidly kissed with force and lust until a noise pulled them apart and jumped off each other. Louis rushes over to the boys.

"Liam what happened to your hand!? Have you all been crying? What happened?"

"Ah...grandma is a..ah...b-i-t-c-h". Liam spelled out.

"I'm glad you know. What did she do to you?" Liam sighed and pulled his dad into a hug, clenching on Louis' t shirt as if he's afraid he'll disappear. Harry and Niall join the hug and they all cry together, just missing what this felt like and wishing they hadn't lost it for even a second. "I love you boys so much".

"Niall love you too Dada". Niall whispers quietly then looks up at Louis in fear of being told off. When he hears nothing he frowns. "No yell?" Louis pulls back from the embrace and frowns at Niall.

"Why would we yell Ni?"

"B-because Ni-Nia..."

"Grandma kept telling him off for not talking properly". Louis looks at Niall with saddened eyes and lifts him.

"Oh Ni, don't worry about that. Okay? I don't care about that". They all jumped from a loud banging on the front door. Niall whimpered in fear and clung to his father as Harry rushed to Liam's side. "Boys, go upstairs for me. Okay?"

"OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR YOU BASTARD!"

"Boys now!" As soon as the boys were upstairs the door was busted open and a built, 6 foot 3 man stormed in, shoving Louis in anger.

"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU STEAL WHATS MINE!"

"W-what?"

"P-Pete?" Louis looked between Zayn and the stranger in shock.

"He's your ex?"

"He's fucking mine you shit!" Pete shoved Louis again and pulled a gun from the back of his jeans, pointing it at Louis. Louis instantly tensed up and put his arms up as Zayn panicked.

"Pete. Don't do this. I need you to put the gun down".

"You're mine Zayn!" Pete's arm shook as his eyes watered and he got ready to shoot.

"Okay. Okay Pete".

"Tell this shit! Tell him you're mine!"

"Dada?" Louis froze at the sound of his three year old son.

"Stay with your brothers Ni". He let out shakily.

"But want to cuddle dada!"

"I'll cuddle later".

"Pwomise dada?"

"I promise bud. Remember dada loves you".

"Love dada too".

"Go back to the boys okay?"

"Yes. Okay dada". Louis let out a shaky sob as he stared at the gun pointed at him.

"Pete, please think about what you're doing". Zayn whispered and slowly stepped closer.

"Say it! Say you're mine!"

"Pete". Zayn whispered as he stood beside Pete. "Please don't do this". Louis stepped back and stumbled making Pete panic and move his finger. The loud bang and the gasp that escaped Louis moved Zayn to see Louis' hand on his stomach and blood pouring out rapidly.

"Louis!" Zayn rushed to his side as Pete ran from the scene and put his hands to Louis' stomach, trying to reduce the blood flow with pressure. "Stay with me Lou. It's going to be okay". Louis' eyes began to droop and Zayn got his phone quickly. "Lou I need you to stay awake. Remember we need to go and cuddle Niall?"

"I'm really tired Zayn". Louis whispered as his eyes dropped again.

"Louis you need to stay awake for me".

"I...I..c-can't". Louis closed his eyes as much as Zayn tried to stop him and everything went black.
