Trust Isn't Given Easily

Chapter 1: (Louis)

            The lads and I were walking around Toronto meeting up with Paul to take us to our hotel after we had just finished our dinner. We were quietly walking through the streets watching people without them knowing. I know a little creepy, but its nice being able to see things instead of being surrounded by teenage girls 24/7. There were so many different kinds of people around the city.

            Men with brief cases walking home. Women dressed up in fashion wear strolling to the nearest store. Even people trying to make money on the streets. There is so much that people don’t pay attention to. All they focus on is what they are doing or where they need to be. They never see what’s actually going on around them.

            The lads and I had finished our last show on our tour here in Toronto. We were trying to decide where we wanted to stay for the last month of summer before we go and do some more shows in the UK. Zayn and Harry wanted to go home and visit our families for the month, Liam wanted to go to LA for some sun and surfing, Niall wanted to go visit the 5 Seconds of Summer lads, and I wanted to stay here in Toronto because the fans will think we went home to the UK. We have tried forever to make a decision, but we can’t decide. Paul has tried having us do a vote or pick from a hat, but then we end up fighting about it.

            As I was thinking I could see the car coming up in front of us. It will be nice to just go back to our rooms and sleep. I was exhausted. We had been walking around Toronto all day seeing the different stores and mall units. Just as we past an alleyway on the way to the car, I heard what almost sounding like a scream come from down the alley. I stopped walking and turned slightly to look down it to prove myself that nobody was down there.

            I was completely wrong.

            There down the alley, was a girl curled in on herself trying to block her head from punches and kicks being sent to her frail body by two rather large blokes. My body immediately responded to what was going on.

            “Hey! Leave her alone!” I yelled. I went running down the alley to get to her.

            One of the two men stopped kicking her to turn to me. As I got closer he turned to me and went to throw a punch at me. I blocked it and clocked him in the nose. His head snapped to the side following the path of the blow. As he bent over to hold his nose, I sent my knee straight into his stomach. He fell to his knees now holding his, most likely, bruised stomach. His friend came over and knocked a punch to the side of my face. It did hurt a little, but I was too focused on the thought of these idiots hurting that poor girl. I threw a punch feeling my fist connect with something with a loud crack.

I threw another punch at the first guy’s head, just as I heard footsteps coming up behind me. I didn’t stop punching this man into the ground, knowing those footsteps were the lads coming to back me up.

            After I knew the guy was knocked unconscious and not getting up any time soon, I looked up at my friends. Liam and Harry were dragging the other man over to the wall. They tossed him to the ground not caring about him at all. Panting, but not sore, I grabbed the other lad with the help of Zayn and Niall and threw him beside his friend. Man, these blokes were heavy!

            I turned around to my friends. Zayn had a small cut on his lip, but otherwise the rest of them were just like me. Panting, but unharmed. Just before I could thank them for helping me, Liam interjected.

            “Why were you hitting those guys anyways? The only reason I intervened was because the one asshole hit you.” He was slightly panting. I knew he was probably the one to throw the most punches. He was always very protective of people he cared about.

            At first I couldn’t remember why I did hit them, but then the image of the small girl getting beaten and abused came floating back into my mind. My eyes widened with the thought of where she was. I panicked looking around searching for any sign of her. Liam was about to ask what I was looking for, but I walked right past him looking around every dumpster and piece of garbage lying in the alley.

            “Mate, what are you looking for?” Harry asked. I looked back to him over my shoulder. His face was contorted into confusion.

           “The girl. Those men. They were beating a girl. Those assholes were bloody kicking and punching her. She tried to fight back, but they threw her to the ground and just kept hitting her. She had no freaking chance against them.” I searched around at their faces hidden behind their hoods when I finished ranting of.

            All their faces were formed into angry scowls. I motioned with my arms, hands and eyes at them to get searching, but they never moved. After I finally told them to look for her, did they actually start searching. I ran to the back of the alley looking behind dumpsters and hoping to find her.

                                             ~         ~         ~         ~         ~         ~         ~         ~

I looked around the whole alley. I couldn’t find her! Where could she be?! I needed to know she was okay! Just when I felt like giving up on searching for her, I heard a sound coming from behind a dumpster hidden behind a large old mattress. I slowly crept over to the dumpster. I pushed the mattress a side as quietly as I could. There behind it was a small space behind the dumpster. I stood in front of it, and then crouched down to see what was behind it.

It was dark back there, but I could still make out the outline of the girl sitting as far away from me as she possibly could. When she saw I noticed her, she scurried even farther into the corner of the wall. She thinks I’m one of those men that hurt her. To show her that I wasn’t going to hurt her I moved back a bit and sat down crisscross in front of her. I just sat there looking at her, hopefully showing that I don’t want harm her.
