Same Mistakes (sequel to Kidnapped By One Direction)

Chapter 9

Ally's POV

Niall's hand leaves a burning tingle on mine, as I watch him walk out I wonder if we'll be doing this for the rest of our lives. He has to move on at some point, though I'm not entirely sure I want him to. I hear footsteps and turn around thinking Niall may have come back but I meet eyes with Louis.

"Niall really is trying this time. He's been getting better and better for you. He may not have seemed it but he was terrified that Liam lies messed up everything."

"I don't know what to believe Louis" I admit.

"I wouldn't lie to you, and Niall wouldn't lie either. Try to forget what Liam told you, don't let him stop or change anything you may have wanted to do"

"I need time, I've been kidnapped twice by him and drugged. You weren't much better at the start either. You can't expect me to believe anything you say right away. I'm scared of Niall, but I see him changing and it terrifies me that I have any thoughts about him. I shouldn't, it's wrong for me to think of him and even you and Liam and everyone else as anything but an enemy!"

"You don't need to be scared, you can let yourself trust Niall and I. It'll take time but if you would just be open to it I'm sure you'll be happy with the results."

"Please leave. I don't need you here trying to manipulate my mind." I don't need to go through with this, it's still my place for a few more days and I still have every right to kick anyone out.

"There's no need to get defensive, I'll leave just don't let the lies have any say in your choices" Louis turns and respects my wish, leaving my house and leaving me alone.

When the door shuts I let out my breath and tears fall from my eyes, I can't be strong anymore. I hate what Niall does to me. I want him to leave me alone forever but I can't stop feeling things I know I shouldn't.

My mind is exhausted, it's getting late anyway and I know it'll be better for me to go to bed. I make sure to go over to the garage door and lock it before heading to my room. I mindlessly change and get to bed somehow I'm able to fall asleep quickly before the thoughts of Niall take over my mind once again.

I slowly drink my tea regretting my choice. I should have gone with coffee, there isn't enough caffeine in my tea to wake me up in the slightest. It's already 1:00 PM and I've done nothing today apart from searching the endless housing in LA though none seem to actually fit to what I want or even what I need.

I haven't eaten a thing today and my body is clearly angry with that choice but all of the thoughts of Niall I've been trying to keep away are making my stomach turn. I put my tea down, giving up on everything that involves brain power of any sort. I haven't started to pack anything yet, though I don't have a ton of items to begin with.

I go upstairs wanting to get at least my clothes packed today. It doesn't take me very long to pack all of my clothes up and I decide it's now time to go find something to eat. The fridge is still practically empty so I'll have to leave to get food. I could get a pizza delivered or something but I think it's in my best interest to get out of the house and get some fresh air.

An uber arrives quickly at my house and though I'm not sure where exactly I want to go. I grab my wallet and make sure I have my phone when I head out to the uber. The driver is a woman and she seems light-spirited, as soon as I get into the car she's greeting me and acting as though we know each other.

"So, where are you headed to girl?"

"I'm not entirely sure, I'm new to LA. I need to find somewhere to get some lunch"
