Why Did You Come Back? (One Direction)

Chapter 8

RECAP:

"Who told you this anyway?" Liam asks.

"Sadie" Louis says quietly
------------------------------------

BROOKE'S POV

That's what she told Louis? That I slept with Dylan! She must have been at the house that day. She did that sometimes. Ring his doorbell and give him something he 'left' at school. She would steal something on a daily basis just to talk to him.

It's funny how one act can change everything. "Why did you listen to her?" I ask sharply. My voice hurts from screaming. "Bec-because you kept talking about him. It was always, 'Dylan this, Dylan that, Dylan is so amazing, it was annoying" he says somberly.

"You are an asshole, I was your best friend, I never told anyone about..-" I start. "Shut the fuck up! Don't say it, Brooke please" his eyes beg.

~~ FLASHBACK ~~

I skip to Louis's house, he recently told me told me his father abuses his mother. I feel really bad, I promised I wouldn't tell anyone. I run up the steps and knock on the door. Before I do I look in the window. Its happening...RIGHT NOW!

Edward is hitting Louis's mom in the corner and Louis is huddling in the corner. There's a big welch on his face. He sees me, he makes a shooing motion with his hands. I shake my head. I'm not leaving him. I try the door knob, It's unlocked.

I run in the house and run to the lounge. I grab Louis's shirt and pull him in the other room. He cries in my shirt. "I want to help but I'm not strong enough" he sobs. "Louis you are strong enough, your mom needs you. Call the police" I say.

He shakes his head, "I can't, I did once, he just hurt her more" I have an idea. "Louis I need you to trust me, get me the phone" he does. He puts it in my hands. I dial 911. "911 whats your emergency" the operator says.

"Hello, I'm at my friends house and his father is abusing his mother. We need the police at 39 Pigeon Street, no sirens, if he hears them he will kill her hurry" I say into the phone. Louis walks back to the lounge. I follow. "Louis, don't" I say with tears.

"I love you Brooke" he says and runs into the lounge. His father is holding the tele over his head. Omg! He's going to kill her. Louis runs into him and the tele goes into the window. Louis grabs a pillow and puts it over his face.

He's going to suffocate him. His mother unconsious on the ground, Louis trying to kill his dad and I'm just standing there. I drop the phone and ruin to Louis. I help hold the pillow down. What am I doing? I'm helping my best friend kill his father.

"Brooke get out of here" Louis says. His father is screaming his head off, moving around trying to throw the pillow off. "I'm not leaving you here" I say. He goes limp. I gasp, did we just do that. I slinck to the ground and cry.

1 unconcious mother, 1 dead man and 2 crying children who are now killers

~~ END OF FLASHBACK ~~

"I dream about that day daily, one of the nightmares I have that don't invole you" I say the last part under my breath. "So do I" he says. For a moment I forgot everything. Liam, the fact that I'm with Louis and the fact that we killed someone.

"Now I'm confused" Liam says. "Louis, I'm telling him and you can't stop me" I say. "Liam, you remember who Edward is right?" I ask, he nods. "Thats the grave we were at before we chased you" he says dumbfounded. "Do you know how he died"

He shakes his head. "Edward, Louis's father, used abuse his wife. I came over one day and he was in the middle of abusing her. I called the police and Edward was going to drop a t.v on her so-" I get cut off again. "Brooke stop" he cries out.

I ignore him. "Louis tackeled him and put a pillow over his face. I helped him because I didn't want him to get hurt. We killed him, we suffocated him" I say. Liam gasps and opens the door. The 3 boys fall on the ground. Thier faces grave.

They heard everything. "Untie him" I say. I walk to the knife I dropped when I was thrown. Just incase. Louis rubs his hands together. "Thanks" he says softly, staring at the floor with interest. "Whatever, get out, this is my room and I wanna sleep" I say.

They leave with out a word. Liam and Louis just stand there. "Should we stay?" they ask at the same time. They look at each other and frown. "Can I?" they ask again. I have an idea. I don't care what has happenend I want out.

This is not right. I wonder what my parents think. Do they know I'm missing? Did Louis tell them? They think we are still friends. Maybe he told them he would surprise me. Maybe if Louis knows how he hurt me he'll let me go.

"Louis can stay" I say softly. Liam looks surprised then hurt. I give him a reasurring look before he leaves. "Why did you let me stay?" Louis asks once we're alone. "I wanna talk...about Edward" I say. He just stares, like a grew a head.,

"Why?" he says, pleading with his eyes. "You can leave and get Liam, I'm fine talking about this with him. I smirk. He steps towards me. The smirk falls. What is wrong with me? He won't hurt you, just call for Liam.

What? Why do I trust Liam? These boys want to hurt you. They kidnapped you, they're not good people. He look hurt. He shouldn't be surprised, he did this. "Dont be surprised, you did this to me, you hurt me, you made me afraid".

I play with my sleeve, when I woke up, I saw the blade and cut 5 lines. One for all the boys. "Brooke, tell me you didn't" he says. I look him straight in the eye. "I don't know what your talking about" I say calmly.

"Swear on the pigeon tree you didn't cut" he says, crossing his arms. "I swear on the Pigeon Tree" I say. He forgot the other part. We had a handshake and we had to take an oath in fornt of the Pigeon tree. "I'm sleeping you can leave" I say.

He snorts. "I'm staying" he says. What? "No, no your not! I don't trust you" I say, trying not to shake. "Why not?" he says, looking hurt once more. I snort this time. "I'm not letting history repeat itself" I say remember my pain.

"You will be fine, I won't even touch you" he says and falls on his arse. He shows false pain then smiles. I can't help it, I smile too. "Fine but stay there" I say. I crawl into bed and just lie there.

What if I dream about Louis? I gasp

What if I go catatonic?
