Save Me Tonight (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 5

I quietly closed the door behind me as I entered my dark house. Once I threw my purse onto the table I headed up stairs. Right as I stepped into the bedroom, the lamp clicked on.

"Hello sexy, come here." Jonah seduced. He was laying on the bed completely naked, his legs were crossed over, he was trying to look sexual.

"Jonah, I'm super tired, not tonight please." I muttered while covering my eyes from the disturbing sight. He started to chuckle, completely ignoring my rejection. He stood up and strutted over to me. He put his forehead against mine, because he is taller than me, he was looking down.

"C'mon, let's just do it!" Jonah exclaimed while slipping the sleeves of my dress off my shoulders. I stared up into his dark eyes, I felt like I was seventeen again, falling in love with this terrible man. I pushed away from his chest. As I did this my dress fell from my hips, I stood there in my black bra and lacy underwear. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to cover my skin.

"Jonah, I don't want to, please can I just sleep?" I asked quietly. He pulled me back close to him. His grip strong and tight. I tried to break lose, but I didn't have the strength. He gave me an evil grin.

"I want to, it doesn't matter if you do or don't." He snickered while throwing me onto the bed. I was shocked at this behaviour. He hits me, he yells at me but he has never tried to rape me. This was a new low, even for Jonah. He jumped on top of me, his breath stunk of Vodka. I turned my head away from him, my heart started racing. I wanted to scream but no one but Jonah would hear me. He turned over so I was lying on top of him. He had his arms wrapped around me tightly, so tightly it hurt. He started to un-clip my bra. I struggled and squirmed but it was no use.

"Jonah, please don't! Please Jonah! Let me go, please!" I cried, tears filling up in my eyes.

"Shut the hell up!" He screamed while throwing my bra across the room. I broke loose of his grip and started to quickly crawl off the bed. He grasped my ankles and started pulling my legs closer to him. He slipped my underwear off and kept trying to pull me close. I was fully exposed, he was so close to getting his way.

"JONAH! YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS! PLEASE!" I screamed and cried. He grabbed my hair and pulled it so I sat up. He turned me around. I was straddled on his lap now. He slapped me across the face as I yelled, but that didn't stop me. He twisted me around and pinned me down. His knees were dug into my thighs and his hands were pinning my wrists to the bed.

"Shh, it will be over soon." Jonah whispered.

*******

My knees were pressed up against my eyes. I squeezed my legs together, the tears soaking my face. I had sweat pants and a hoodie on, trying to show as little skin as possible. My body was throbbing, my head hurt and I'm pretty sure Jonah ripped some hair out when he practically snapped my neck. I checked the time on my phone, 3:12am. Shakily I stood up and examined my face in the mirror. It was soaked with tears, my eyes were red and puffy. My hair was wild and messy. I searched through my pockets for the piece of paper Louis gave me. I had put it in my hoodie after Jonah had fallen asleep. I unfolded it with shaky hands, still scared from what had just happened.

I texted the number, I don't know why but when he gave me that paper I felt truly happy. I have gotten numbers from guys before, but he felt right. Maybe having him reply will make me feel like someone cares. I clicked the tiny buttons of the phone then clicked SEND.

Hey, Louis? It's Jen, sorry I'm texting so late, I need someone to talk to.

About twenty minutes later, her replied:

Hi Jen! It's not a problem at all, I was already up.  What happened?

Nothing really, just troubles at home. I sort of lied.

Do you want company? I know I just met you but there is a cafe that is open all hours.

Yeah sure, that sounds great! thanks I'll meet you on the corner of Bark st.

Alright love xx

After I said goodbye, I shoved my phone in my purse and crept quietly into my bedroom. If Jonah woke up, I don't know what he would do. I slipped into some skinny jeans and a better hoodie. Before I left a cleaned up my hair and face and crept out of the hell hole I call home.

The night sky was scattered with twinkling stars, they danced in the air, asking me to join. Being anything but me sounded so good. I shoved my hands in my pockets and stared at the ground as I walked. The cracks on the sidewalk looked as if they belonged there, so careless and free. I turned towards Bark st. I looked at the corner and saw a figure kicking at the sidewalk. A smile crept up on my face. It felt weird to smile after what just happened, like it didn't belong.

"Jen! Good to see ya, want to head over to the cafe?" Louis exclaimed with happiness. I nodded and walked beside him. There was silence for a couple minutes, it wasn't awkward it was more like a pleasurable silence.

"What happened? You got really uncomfortable when Liam asked you about your bruise, then you were really defensive when I asked who you were talking to on the phone and then you texted me at three in the morning." Louis asked, his gaze interlocked with mine. My mouth felt dry, I wanted to tell him so badly, but I couldn't. Maybe if our relationship expands I will.

"It's just stupid stuff." I lied, my eyes staring at the sidewalk. Louis suddenly stopped, he grasped my arm to stop me also. He spun me so I was facing him, his eyes giving me a worried look.

"It's not stupid, I can tell your hurt, your broken. Whatever it is, your better than all of it." He assured, his gaze getting more intense with every word. His features were pure beauty.

"You don't even know me, how can you say that?" I argued. He put his finger up to my lips.

"I know enough, for now, to know that your amazing. I can read it in your beautiful green eyes." He whispered while brushing my hair around my ear. I blushed, I haven't been flirted with in a long time. Out of all the men in Toronto, I'm being flirted with by someone who isn't even from here. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

"Thank you, no guy has ever said something that nice to me." I confessed, never breaking the gaze between us.

"You know the wrong people then." He smiled. He turned to start walking again, I followed. I felt a little disappointed that our gaze was broken. I couldn't believe this nice, funny, handsome guy was interested in me. My disappointment soon faded when I felt a sudden warmth in my hand closest to Louis. I looked towards it and noticed Louis's hand intertwining with mine. I felt butterflies in my stomach. Thankfully I didn't pull away, I hadn't held a hand in a long time. His hands were strong but soft, he squeezed mine lightly and started rubbing his thumb against the top of my hand.

"How long are you in Toronto?" I asked, breaking my happy thoughts.

"For the summer, the boys and I needed a break." He answered, never letting go of my hand. I felt a surge of happiness, this boy likes me, he makes me happy and is going to be here the whole summer! My thoughts bringing a bright smile to my face.

"You have a beautiful smile, you have a beautiful everything." Louis complimented. I started to laugh, he is so nice. As we approached the cafe, he turned towards me.

"This is going to be our first date, okay?" Louis chuckled, I laughed with him. He opened the door and I headed into the start of something great.
