Set This World On Fire (A Janoskians Fanfic)

Chapter 28

*Beau's POV*

I needed to see her. I needed Ellison. I needed to hold her in my arms and feel her warm presence.

I sat up in my bed, which I hadn't left in days. And looked around my room. There were piles of dirty clothes and empty food containers scattered around my room. I cautiously stood from my bed and opened my bedroom door. The house seemed quiet. I slowly walked downstairs and sat down on the couch. "Is anyone home?!" I called. No one answered. I fell over on the couch. I was kind of hoping someone would be home for me to talk to.  The front door then opened. I popped up from the couch and looked at the door. It was Jai. "You ok?" Jai asked me as he closed the door behind him and walked inside. "Can we go out tonight?" I asked Jai. I decided that I didn't want to express my feelings. Jai nodded. "Yeah sure. Where do you want to go?" he asked. "I don't know just someplace to take my mind off of Ellie." I said. My stomach tighten when I said her name.

A few hours later I finally got changed out of the clothes I've been wearing for the past week and got dressed to go out. Jai and I just wandered around for a while and walked in silence. Thoughts of Ellie came swirling into my mind. The whole point of going out tonight was to distract me from her and now I kept thinking about her. I saw bright neon colored signs and realized that it was a strip club. I began to walk towards it but Jai pulled me back. "I can't go. What about Lauren?" he said to me. "Just don't tell her." I said back to him. "I can't do that, Beau. Just go without me." I shrugged and walked through the doors.

I sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. Girls walked by me in practically nothing but I still couldn't stop thinking about her. I ordered another drink and just sat there like the lonely person that I was.  Another girl walked by and caught my eye. I looked up at her and my eyes grew wide. She looked just like Ellie. She had the same blonde hair and big brown eyes.   I shook my head. No. It couldn't be her. Why would she be working here? I watched as she served drinks to a few guys and received tips. She then walked on her heels into a back room. I sighed. Why couldn't get her out of my mind?

I took out my wallet and left some money on the bar counter before I left. I began walking down the street and rounded a corner. I looked at the ground and began thinking about everything. My thoughts were then interrupted by by screams. "HELP! HELP!" I looked up and saw  that a girl was being roughly pushed against a wall by a man who seemed to me quiet older. I began running towards the situation. As I came closer I realized that the girl was Ellie and the man was trying to rape her. I ran faster and tackled the man to the ground. I punched the guy hard in the face before getting up from the ground.  The man stood, holding his face and ran away. I then turned my attention to Ellie. Her small body was curled up into a ball on the floor. I knelt down next to her. "Ellie, are you ok?" she didn't answer. Her eyes were shut tightly but I could see small tears falling. I picked her bridal style and carried her home.
