We Love

Chapter 4

When I enter Louis' room I'm amazed! It's twice as big as mine. The wall opposite of the door is a big window. It's an ocean view. There is a king sized bed on the right and a wardrobe and bathroom on the left. I hadn't even noticed he left until he said,

"Here. Put these on."

He handed me one of his white t shirts and a pair of boxers. He went into the bathroom to brush his teeth, so I took the opportunity to change. As soon as I finished getting dressed Louis emerges from the bathroom changed into a black t shirt and sweatpants. I look up to see his jaw slightly dropped and he's practically drooling.

"Umm....Louis?" I try to take him out of his trance.

"Wh-what?" He shakes his head ridding himself of the image that was me.

"I think you fell into a trance or something!" I giggle.

He smirks shyly then says,

"Come on...." He grabs my hand and leads me to the bed. He wraps an arm around my waist pulling my back to his front. After what seems like an eternity, but in reality was about an hour, neither of us are able to sleep.

I turn around to face him.

"I have an idea." I say.

"What's that?" He questions.

"Let's play 20 questions!" I squeal,

~LOUIS POV

"Let's play 20 questions! she squeals.

"Mmmm I don't know...." I say to her, I don't need her to know about my past.

"Pleeeeease?!!" She says, even more high pitched than before. How can I say no to that?? She's so fucking cute!

"Fine." I mumble,

"Yay! Ok I'll start!!" She pauses. "Do you have any siblings?"

I take a deep breath."Yes." I

breathe.

"Do they have names?" she asked slowly, grinning.

"No!" I shout. She cowards back. Dammit!

I storm to the bathroom and lock myself in there. I shouldn't have yelled at her! It's not her fault that.....that happened.

There's a muffled knock at the door.

"Lou?" her voice is soft, I can tell she's trying not to upset me. I can't help but smile a little at that nick name.

When I don't answer she tries opening the door but soon figures out that it's locked. I slowly walk towards it and turn the lock.

~ALLISON POV

When I enter the bathroom Louis is pacing and tugging at his hair. He looks so stressed and I feel bad for him. He's so adorable though!

No, I can't like him he's my kidnapper!!

"Lou?" I say again,

He stops pacing and crouches down, still tugging at his hair. I bend down, sitting on my knees next to him. I rub his back comfortingly and he looks up at me. I notice he has a tear streaming down his right cheek.

I stand up and pull on his hand. He listens and stands with me as we walk back to the bed. I sit with my back against the headboard and he does the same.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask carefully,

He takes a deep breath, "I don't know."

"Tell me? Please?" I plead,

"Okay...." He hesitates,

I'm really surprised that he agreed to tell me. He didn't seem like the kind of guy to just open up like this.

"When I was 15 my parents left my sisters and I. It was me, Lottie, fizzy, phoebe, and daisy. They said they were 'going out' but never came back! As the oldest, I didn't know what to do. I had to be able to find food for all five of us...."

His eyes are glossy at this point. I felt so bad for him. It must've been so hard.

I grab his hand, interlacing our fingers. I give a gentle squeeze to encourage him on.

"I would go to the market every day and trade our things for food. One day I didn't have anything to trade so we had to ration out the little food we had and I...."

He broke. The tears were streaming down his face. I brought his head to my chest and ran my fingers through his hair. His life had to of been so hard.

"They depended on me, Allison, and I let them down!" He cried.

"Shhh....it's not your fault, Lou." I tried to comfort him.

After a couple minutes if science he had calmed down a bit. He lifted his head from my chest,

"One day I came back to the house from trying to get food and they.....were gone."

"Oh my god! Lou I'm so sorry!" I say,

I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him. He buries his face in my neck and says,

"I just miss them so much."

I feel a few tears wet my skin but I don't care.

We lay down and he puts his head on my stomach while I play with his hair. Awhile later we drift off into a deep sleep.
