It is what it is

16

Please, let me be dead, please..... I think to myself, I don't want to open my eyes and face the pain anymore. My body is so sore and I can't deal with it. I've been beaten twice and I can feel my ribs have cracked, my right arm is definitely broken as are probably half the bones in my body. The pain is just too much. My hands are still tied above my head and I can't even feel them anymore. The once white plush mattress has blood all over it and I can't even remember how or where it's come from.

I whimper when I realise I'm still alive and I come back fully alert to the hotel room I'm being held in.

"So Louis, you're in tremendous pain I understand" Leo smirks at me from a chair beside the bed.

I can't talk and my breathing is irregular and I feel like I'm going to vomit.

"Are you going to beg me to kill you yet?" He smirks.

I can't talk because the duck tape over my mouth is still in place, Leo lets out an evil laugh and gets up off his chair and comes over to me, he crouches down next to my face.

"You are so handsome, it's such a pity" he says thoughtfully.

"I've got something planned for you Louis and afterwards I may or may not kill you" he says smiling.

"Boys" he yells

Two men in black come into the room, I recognise them as two of the guys that brought me here. They are carrying a huge tub that looks like a bath. It's full of water. I panic and start squirming as best I can on the bed. I don't want anymore pain.

My arms are untied by one of the goons, while Leo goes and sits back down in his chair to watch. I'm pulled off the bed harshly and I scream at the pain, it's muffled by my gag though.

"Shut the fuck up" one of them spits at me.

I'm trying to hold myself together but I've never experienced this much pain before in my life. I actually wonder how and why I'm still alive.

"Kneel down" one of them spits at me and I'm on my knees in a second after being pushed.

The tub of water is in front of me, it then hits me what they plan to do. My eyes widen and I try to get away, I ignore the pain but I'm held tightly on both sides of my arms. The grip of the two goons leaving multiple bruises.

"Get going boys" Leo instructs.

My head is then pushed into the water and I struggle to breathe, I can't get a breath and I'm being held down. No matter how much I try I can't get free. Just when I feel myself slipping I'm pulled out of the water, I'm met with laughter. I try to get my breath back but the only oxygen I'm receiving is coming through my nose. I'm crying and panicking. Leo steps in front of me and crouches down.

"Shhhhh, it's okay your okay relax" he tells me.

I relax as best I can and somewhat calm down, tears are still streaming down my face.

"I'm sorry to have to do this to you Louis, Harry and your dad have been on to us for the last few days and even though I planned for them to find you. I thought I would have a week at best to do what I wanted to you. They didn't allow me to have that week, and are coming for you. As much as I would love to stick around, I can't and this is where we depart. I have my revenge on your father and your death will only make me smile more" Leo tells me.

So Harry and my dad know where I am, Leo is going to kill me now, I'm going to die by drowning.

"Don't cry Louis, you did so well" Leo chuckles.

"Have fun boys, you have 20 minutes" he tells them.

Leo then makes his way in front of the camera, where everyone can see what's happening to me.
