Chapter 27 - Louis Tomlinson

Therese's POV

"Are you ready?" He asks, sinking down the sofa.

"Ready for what?" I sat beside him, leaning on his shoulder.

"To know who I really am." He looks at me with a frightened face.

"Yeah." I place my hand on his lap, running it up and down to try and ease him.

He sighs deeply.

"You won't leave me won't you?"

"I wouldn't" I confirmed. "Wanna lay on my lap?" I offer.

He nods and I scoot to the edge of the sofa and he rests his head on my lap, with his legs dangling on the other side of the sofa.

"Okay," he trails off. I play with his hair, and he somehow calms down. "My childhood wasn't exactly great." He frowns as he probably has a flashback.

"Go on." I encourage.

"When I was 12 my dad lost his job, and he then started selling drugs. My mom didn't have a job because she couldn't even walk because of her accident." He took my hand and started to play with my fingers.

"I wanted to get a job early to help my mom and started at that bar where we first met," he manages to smile and places a long kiss on the back of my hand. "I would be there until midnight to clean up. There were times where drunk guys would beat me up and I didn't stand a chance against them." I rest my arm on his stomach as he continues his story.

"I worked there for 3 years until I turned 15, eventually my mum made me quite once she found out where I worked." He frowns again. "Remember when you asked me about my 78 tattoo?"

"I remember."

"It was our address when we still lived in a good house, where we were still happy until shit broke loose and every bad luck came to us. And I got it when I was 17, when I worked at a tattoo shop."

I nod, urging him to continue.

"I haven't really seen my mom since I was 15, it's been 3 years now. We would only talk through letters."

"Why don't you visit?" I questioned.

"Soon." He simply replies. "I don't have a face to show once I come back." He looks down at his hands.

"Why? She's your mother she should try understand you."

"I can't after. After what happened." He was shaking.

"What happened?"

"At the tattoo shop. My boss is my uncle." He keeps pausing because he keeps taking shaky breaths.

"Louis."

"I killed him. I killed him Thea! I killed people with my own hands!" He shouts and sits up so quickly and sat at the other side of the couch.

"People? W-what? How?"

"My dad influenced me into drugs. I still worked that day even though I was too high. I was looking out the window and saw my girlfriend outside with a guy strangling him. I blasted out the doors and ran after him and I-and I."

"Stop Louis."

"What? Please don't be scared of me." He had tears in his eyes.

"Continue the story tomorrow. You're shaking and sweating terribly just relax Lou."

"You're right." He sighs and wipes his sweat off his forehead.

"You won't leave me right?" He asks again.

"Yes."

"You know I do love you right?"

"Yes."

--

I wake up with his arm embracing my body tightly as if he was scared I would leave him at the dead of the night because I knew of his past.

He mentioned he killed people? So it means he had killed someone else than his uncle? I hope he saved his girlfriend, he probably did and killed the guy strangling her.

Maybe that's why he's been very protective of me, he just doesn't want history to repeat itself. The question is are there still somethings I don't know? He left out the information about why his dad lost his job or what was his mom's accident? What encouraged him to take drugs, was he really just afraid of his dad or did he experience problems during that certain period?

These things are unknown. For now.

But these things are killing me inside.

I'm curious to know who Louis Tomlinson is.
