"She's my everything"

(Trigger on this chapter)

Louis' POV

Me and Harry launch ourselves at Leah and Ella, I grab Leah first and fall on top of her. She shimmy's out of my reach and scrambles up to her feet and backs away holding the knife to her throat.

I turn around to see Ella screaming holding on to her stomach. I spin around and cradle her in my arms.

"HARRY!" I shout he is next to me within seconds.

"We need to get her to the hospital" I go and pick her up when I hear Leah. I turn around and see her pressing the knife into her throat.

"I'll kill myself. If you go with her I'll fucking slit my throat right here" she screams.

I look down at Ella who is clinging onto life and back at Leah. I don't know why I care. I don't about her but there is something inside me that tells me I owe her. She wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for me.

"Take her" I gesture Ella towards Harry.

"Lou come on she needs you" Harry pleads.

"I know. But so does Leah" I sigh and get up. I watch as Harry takes Ella in his arms and rushes out the building while I stand face to face with Leah for the first time in nearly a year. She is far from the girl I once knew. How many girls am I going to ruin?

"Do you love her?" She asks.

"With everything I have" I take a seat on the chair.

"Why Don't you love me? What have I done to you, that makes you hate me so much?" She sobs.

"I don't hate you. I never hated you. I was stupid. I don't have an explanation as to why I did it, only that I liked the thrill" I honestly answer.

"What does she have that I don't?" She lowers the knife.

I shrug I can't answer that question without hurting Leah even more. Because to be honest it's everything, everything Leah isn't, Ella is.

"You need help" I stand up.

"No I need you!" She screams.

"You're my help. Only you Louis and it will always be you! You can't deny how much fun we had together. The sex, the banter .."

"It was a game. Leah come on I have no feelings for you, I didn't then and I don't now. You need to move on. I get that it's hard but we will never be" I run my hands through my hair.

"You actually hate me don't you" she cries.

"No" I lie. I do hate her. I hate her more than anything now. After Georgia and now after Ella, I couldn't hate anyone more than I do Leah right now.

"I loved you, I still love you. I'm willing to forgive everything. Me, you and Daisy we could be a family" she wipes away the tears with the back of her hand.

"It will never work. It can't work. Let's get you some help. You need to be able to look after Daisy , be the best mother you can for her" I take a step towards her but she holds out her wrist and starts slowly pressing the knife into her thin skin.

I watch as she slowly gasps and blood starts dripping onto the floor.

"Stop it!" Yell at her.

"Why? Why do you want me to stop it. You don't love me. You just admitted we can't be together. Why is my life worth living?" She pulls the knife over the last remaining skin to her wrist.

"Daisy! That's why! She needs her mum. That little girl needs you in her life" I beg with her.

"No. No she doesn't. It looks like you've already got someone to replace me" she swaps her hands over and starts cutting herself on the other wrist. Her hand is cover in blood for the cut she's already caused.
