Love Bites - Louis Tomlinson

Chapter 19 - Louis' POV

Louis' POV

It is times like this that I would give anything to be normal again. Just to have something I want for atleast a moment would be amazing. Everything is falling apart around me and I can't do anything about it except stand and watch. I was lying on my back facing the ceiling in Alissa and I's room. After my confession I felt that I should give her time to think and be by herself.

I felt normal when I was standing in the cramped closet, pouring my heart out to the girl who seems to have ruined my life but also made it one hundred times better. The way she would actually listen to what I was saying to her made me feel like I had a point, and that my thoughts were important to her. I believe they are.

She had dismissed herself from the closet, leaving me with a smile and the hope that maybe someday we would actually be able to be together. That was a whole new train of thought, something I didn't want to think about but couldn't stop. The thought of spending forever with this girl who I had only met a month ago seemed to send shivers of excitement up my spine. I would finally have someone who believed in me and I would have someone I truly loved.

Of coarse that wouldn't happen. She is human, she won't last forever and I couldn't be so selfish to bring this curse to her because of my own wants and needs. I couldn't

I sighed running my hands down my face, as if that would wipe away the stress and saddness from my mind. We were on the run, from everyone it seems. The two people on the road earlier. I had completely forgotten about them. There was always something negative that remained in my life along with the constant everyday reminder of the curse im forced to live with,

I stood up quickly, and pulled open the door and ran down the stairs two at a time. I reached the bottom and as I did the front door sprung open and Harry ran in, panting with a worried expression plastered on his face.

His frantic eyes caught sight of me and he ran towards me. "They know about Alissa. They're looking for her now!"

My heart beat sped up and I couldn't speak. "W-what?"

"Louis?"

Harry's voice was ringing in my ears as he tried to speak to me. I could feel myself stumbling as I stood at the bottom of the stairs. Harry grabbed my arms trying to steady me.

"Louis, breath.." He was staring into my eyes but nothing was working and soon enough my mind shut down. I could feel myself slipping away and falling to the hard tiles on the floor.

My eyes felt heavy and they were tightly shut as if they were held by sandbags and bolted closed. Shuffling and movement was all I could hear and I wondered if the two people had found us and we were now being taken away for tests or something worse. I knew that I should have told everyone, but I couldn't. I knew the anger they would be feeling, I knew that they would blame me and I'm just to selfish to admit that I've ruined everything. I can't accept what I've done.

"Louis, wake up."

How did they know my name? I desperately tried to open my eyes but they remained closed against my will, trapping me in infinite darkness. I could make out shapes in the blackness, images and colours my mind was leading me to believe were actually there.

"Louis, it's Alissa, open your eyes."

I groaned when I felt myself shake. I could here a sigh of relief and Alissa spoke again.

"Thank god you're actually alive." I could hear the relief in voice. I tried to smile at the fact that she wanted me alive. I couldn't tell if I was showing the slight happiness I was feeling.
