Loving, Breaking, Haunting, Reborn

Chapter 40

Jessica's POV

"Jess!" I turned to see Louis running up the beach as fast as he could. I looked at Lottie confused and she just shrugged her shoulders.

We both felt better now, getting everything off our chest. after I had finished we both just talked about random stuff. I looked back to see Jay walking up the beach looking confused and kinda frightened by her sons behaviors.

Louis reached me and extended his hand out to me, grabbing my forearm he tugged me to my feet. I stumbled a but but he out his free hand on my waist and I quickly gained back my balance.

"Jessica, Tyler is here." My heart sank when he said the name. He probably thinks that he's gonna do something to me. That he's helping Ethan. I couldn't meet his gaze and looked down at our band and sandy feet.

"Louis I. . ." It was like he didn't even hear me. He immediately cut me off. He probably thought I was scared since I was meeting anyone's gaze, including his.

"I'll deal with him, but you need to stay right here and you can't move." He let go of me and he turned and started to walk towards where Tyler and his little brother Dylan were without even waiting for me to answer or explain myself.

Tyler had been watching us and he turned around and said something to Dylan and Dylan took off into the warm, glistening water. Tyler stood up and brushed the sand off his hands and ignored the sand that now clung to his legs from where he had gotten wet earlier. He looked up and met Louis' gaze head on.

Oh no. This doesn't look good.

I knew that if I didn't tell Louis now, Tyler could and would get beat up by him because Louis was defiantly pissed. I could tell he wanted him gone no sooner than now.

Than Tyler would explain, probably with a broken nose. Louis attacking an innocent guy could scar his sisters for never seeing that side of him and make them angry at attacking without motive, Lindsey who could tell mom and we could be over for good, and Tyler's brother Dylan might be ashamed of his brother for not getting a punch in.

I bolted forward. Sand kicked up behind me as Louis just reached Tyler. I ran a little faster and Louis' hands were already balled into tight fists.

Tyler just stood there calmly as he watched Louis heat up even more. His hands just hung lifelessly at his sides like he didn't if he could get hurt badly or not by him.

I ran and just as Louis was about to bring up his fist to threaten Tyler, I put myself in the small space between them brought up my hands and pushed them back. They both took a hesitant step backwards.

Louis still liked pissed but was a little but calmer when he looked down at me. I looked up any met his gaze. "Louis don't. I was going to explain. . ." Louis eyes widened and suddenly he looked more pissed than he had earlier and than he had ever to Ethan or the first time he met Tyler.

"Look you bastard." he hissed as his teeth were gritted tightly together. His fists were now clenched so tight that his knuckles turned a pale white. He unclenched one of his fists and brought his hand up, reaching over my shoulder he stabbed his pointer finger at his chest. "Stay away from her."

Quickly he brought his hand down and pushed me behind him. "Louis please listen." I begged. He turned and looked at me. His eyes burning with fury and rage.

"What?" he snapped. I jumped back a little. He never really snapped at me. This was definitely new and I didn't like it. I didn't like when he let his anger get the best of him and he let it control his actions and buried down his other emotions.

"Louis." I whispered. Maybe if I could keep my voice low it wouldn't anger him, much. "I want to take Ethan to court." It was short and simple. I could explain the rest when things calmed down a bit.
