We Love

Chapter 14

LOUIS POV

I hear footsteps leading up to the bedroom and perk up in hopes that it's Allison. When the door opens Alli steps inside.

"Hey....what was that about?" I ask her as she begins to walk towards me.

"Nothing. Harry's just planning to do something ADORABLE for Kenna!" she exclaims excitedly. I chuckle at her excitement.

"What is he gonna do?" I ask her and gesture for her to sit on my lap.

She does as I say and starts to explain what Harry will do for Kenna tomorrow. When she finishes I am honestly amazed. I would have never guessed Harry had a romantic side to him. Kenna's lucky to have him. I'm such a shitty guy to Alli and I'm not even her boyfriend....I don't think.

I place my hands on her hips and she smiles.

"Alli?"

"Lou." She says playfully stern.

I smile."What are we?" Her face turns serious and she looks away from me. Allison licks her lips in concentration and I can't help but think of what they could do.

I tilt her chin up so that she's looking at me. When I start to lean in she gets off my lap. Alli hesitantly walks to our conjoined bathroom and locks the door. Awesome.

I let out a heavy sigh and slowly walk to the bathroom door.

ALLI POV

I got scared. I have problems trusting guys ever since Jerry. I don't know what to do.

All these problems with being stuck here with a guy I barley know, my abusive father, my mum, and my abusive x-boyfriend start to rush through my head and the tears are back. They rush down my face as the quiet sobs rack my body.

I get an idea. I shouldn't. I haven't done that in so long. No I can't. But I need it!

I start searching through the medicine cabinet and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I dig through the drawers and finally find a razor. I pop the blade out and just stare at it. My hands play with it for about a minute remembering the last time they used one of these.

FLASHBACK

He slapped me again. This time harder. I cried out in pain as he threw me to the floor.

"Please! Dad stop!" I tried convincing him but it was no use.

"Get up you stupid slut!" he screamed in my face. I did as I was told and he pushed me against the wall.

I can feel the hot tears streaming down my face. My body is sore and limp.

Dad turns away from me to check his phone.

"Your mom will be here any minute. Go clean yourself up." He demands.

I start to walk upstairs, crying even harder as I did so. I get to the bathroom and rest my back against the closed door. I slowly sink down until I'm sitting on the floor. I let out a whispered scream so my abuser doesn't hear me.

Mom doesn't know what dad does to me and he said if I told her he would kill her. So for seventeen years I've kept my mouth shut.

I stand up and lean my hands on the sink. I open the second drawer and see the glistening blade. I take it out and look at it for a moment.

I know I don't deserve this shit. I deserve to cut. My own dad abuses me and so does my boyfriend!

I place the cool blade on my wrist and slowly swipe it across my skin. I suck in a breath out if pain, but it is shortly replaced by pleasure. I move down my arm cutting again. And again.

END OF FLASHBACK

That's it! I furiously swipe the blade across my skin. I let out a sobbing cry.

"Allison? Open the door!" Louis figures out what I'm doing.

When I don't answer, he starts pounding on the door.

"Allison, Open the damn door!" He screams.

I let out a few more aching sobs as I cut myself three more times in the same spot.

The pounding gets louder and the door crashes open. Louis broke the door....

I'm frozen in place as blood slowly trails down my arm.

"Allison!" Louis screams.

He rushes over to me grabbing a washcloth and turning the faucet on. He drenches the material with luke warm water and dabs my arm. When the bleeding finally stops, I fall to knees and let out every possible tear. Louis comes down next to me leaning his back against the bathtub. He brings me into his arms and I sob into his chest while he wraps his strong arms around me. He pets my hair and rubs my back comforting me. Occasionally whispering things int my ear.

After about an hour I am half asleep on Louis' chest. he kisses my forehead and picks me up bridal style. I loop my arms loosely around his neck. He places me in the bed and lays down so his front is to my back.

"Goodnight baby." He whispers and kisses the back of my neck.

That's all I remember before drifting off into a deep sleep.
