Save Me Tonight (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 10

I awoke to a throbbing pain in my head. It hurt all the way down to my core. I sat up, that defiantly didn't help. I clutched my head and groaned, while ripping the covers off myself. I exhaled deeply at what I saw, Louis's T-shirt and my underwear. My memory was a bit blurred from last night but I was sure we didn't, you-know-what. I remembered laughing and having a party for two, also I remembered the neighbours yelling at us to quiet down. Then we went to sleep, that's it. I turned to see a sleeping Louis,  he was wearing striped boxers. Is this boy in love with that pattern? I checked the time on my clock, 8:30am. I'm not an early riser but I must have had my mind set to waking up early so I could get back before Jonah wakes up. 

I got up out of Louis comfortable bed and crept down the hall. My head was still throbbing and I felt like I was going to puke. I walked into the kitchen and filled up the kettle with water. I turned on the burner and placed the kettle on top of it. I groggily walked towards the couch and fell into it. The cushions eating me whole. I flicked on the TV on and focused on the chef cooking what looked like some vegetable soup. My stomach growled as I watched. I got up and looked in the fridge, there was nothing. 

"Go ahead, make your self at home." Louis joked. I closed the door and blushed just as the kettle started to scream. I rushed over to the stove and turned it off. Just as I moved the kettle to a cold burner, Louis came behind me and rested his hands on my waist. I turned around and faced him, he stared into my eyes smiling. I realized that I have slept over, got drunk, cuddled and spent a night out with him but never kissed him. His blue eyes locked with mine, I had to kiss him. He must have been thinking the same because he spun me away from the stove. I wrapped my arms around his neck and got on my tippy toes. He pulled me close and pressed his lips against mine. His lips were warm and tasted good. I wanted more, I pressed harder against his lips. He adjusted his grip on me so it was tighter, warmer. His kiss is gentle but intense and passionate, it sent tingles through my body. 

"I think I might love you." I whispered when we finished. My lips still grazing his. I didn't mean to say that out loud. He made me feel like no man has ever made me feel. He made butterflies flutter in my stomach just by touching me. 

"The feeling is mutual." He whispered back. I was shocked, I didn't even mean to say it but I was glad I did. He kissed me quickly before breaking our embrace. He poured the hot water I had forgotten about into the red teapot and threw a teabag in. 

"I have to go soon." I reminded, my heart wanting so badly not to leave.

"Look I know Jersey Shore is promoting less and less clothing, but I hope your not going in that. Not that I wouldn't want that." He snickered while pointing to my bare legs. I blushed and pulled the T-shirt down. 

"That's too bad, I thought it was half-naked day?" I joked while jumping onto the comfortable couch. He placed our tea cups on the coffee table before leaping on top of me. I groaned from the impact as he rolled off of me and onto the floor. He hit his head off the table and moaned in pain. I coudn't help but laugh. He frowned at me then threw me over his shoulder. I started hitting his back as he ran to his bed room. He threw me on the bed and I started laughing as he tickled me to death. Flashes of Jonah aggressively throwing me onto our bed whipped into my mind. I began to scream and cry.

"STOP PLEASE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS JONAH PLEASE!" I yelled while bawling my eyes out. Suddenly the tickling stopped and I looked up at a very confused Louis. He sat me up and slowly sat beside me.

"What's wrong? Who's Jonah?" He asked his eyes huge with worry. I whipped my head to face his, did I yell that out loud? I felt the tears about to stream out of my eyes. My chin started to quiver, his gaze became pure worry.

"He is no one, he is no one, he is no one." I repeated while rocking back and forth. I began to sob into my hands. Louis pry-ed my hands from my face and gave me a huge hug. I cried into his shoulder, I was so happy to have him. Would he leave if he found out about Jonah? I couldn't take that chance.

"Shh, it's okay, I'm here, I'll always be here." He whispered while rubbing my back. 

******

"Just drop me off right here." I said while pointing to the corner of my street, a few houses down from my house.  He nodded and pulled over.

"Will you be alright?" Louis asked while turning off the ignition. 

"I'll be fine I promise." I said as I hopped out of the car. 

"Jen, your hiding something. I want you to know that I'm always here to listen." He assured.

"I promise I'm fine." I lied. I waved to Louis before he sped off down the road. My chest felt empty when he left. I miss him every time he is gone. I walked down the street while carrying my heels. 

When I entered the house everything was still dark. I could hear Jonah's snoring from the kitchen. I rolled my eyes and hid my dress and heels. I threw my PJ's on and got into bed beside him, disgusted at the man I shared a house with. I looked at him and all I saw was him grinding Violet, making her scream and resort to violence. I saw him pinning me down against my will, I saw him punching my face multiple times. 

"Your a pig, a jerk, and don't deserve to share the same oxygen as everyone good in this world." I spat. He turned over in the bed, still asleep. All I needed was the courage to say that to his face while he was awake. 

"Good morning babe." He gurgled, half asleep. I got up and went down stairs to make myself breakfast. While I was cooking eggs I imagined Louis creeping up behind me and holding me gently.  He would turn me around and kiss me slowly. I heard stomping down the stairs, Jonah.

"Would you like some eggs?" I spat. I felt his hand on my waist. Him touching me the some way Louis did made me feel dirty and disgusted. He kissed my neck and walked away.

"Babe turn around." He said, sounding urgent. I rolled my eyes and turned off the stove. When I did as he told me I was staring face to face with a diamond ring. Jonah was in his boxers on one knee in the kitchen. I was frozen solid. Please oh god no! My mind screamed in horror. I felt panic in every inch of my body. I suddenly remembered what he said to his friends when I was retrieving my shoes. "That's why I'm going to ask her.." This is what he was talking about.

"Jen, will you marry me?"
