Finally Falling

Chapter 41

Louis' POV
~~~~~~~~~~

I laid down on Marcel's chest, smiling when I felt his arm wrap around me waist. I was happy that we were finally back together and watching a movie like we would usually do.
" Lou.."
" Yea love?" I replied as I looked up at him.
" What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I paused for a moment to think. What did I want to be? The thought of my future never really crossed my mind. Suddenly I thought of it.
" A professional soccer player."
Marcel let out a chuckle and pulled me in tighter.
" What about you?"
" A lawyer."
I nodded and looked at the clock and immediately shot up. It was 6:00, the exact time that Michael was going to be home and Marcel was here. He had told me plenty of times to not have company over and I have grown rather scared of him.
" Marcel you have to leave." I said as I crawled off of him. He looked up at me with an arched brow as I tried to clean up the slight mess that we made.
" What do you mean? It's only 6."
I ran my hand through my hair and looked out of the shades, seeing Michaels car in the distance.
" Get up Marcel! Hurry!" Marcel yelped as I grabbed his arm and pulled him off the couch. It was too late for him to leave so I quickly pushed him up the stairs towards my room.
" Don't come out until I say so okay?" I whispered as I heard Michael walk in.
" Okay but Lou-" I quickly slammed the door and ran back down the stairs to see Michael pulling off his coat.
" Hi Michael how was work?" I ask nicely as I grabbed his coat and placed it on the rack.
" Go get me a beer." he replied bitterly and I quickly made my way into the kitchen to find him a cold beer. That's the thing about Michael, he will hit me if I don't hurry and I've learned my lesson last time. He's begun to get more aggressive and I'm developing scars and bruises but he knows where to hit me so that nobody sees it. As I opened the fridge, I noticed that we were out of beer and soon became scared. If he didn't have his beer it was certain that he would hit me. I made my way over to him and he looked at me with angry eyes.
" I don't see a beer in your hands Louis."
" That's the thing...we ran out." I reply softly, my usual loud voice leaving me. Michael then began to walk towards me and I couldn't help but step back. Suddenly, he grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled it, causing my head to jerk back. I winced as he began to walk with my hair still in his hands. Don't cry..don't cry. I tried to remind myself as he dragged me up the stairs.
" You always ruin everything Louis you know that?!" He yelled as he opened a random bedroom door that was across from mine.
" Your fucking worthless!" My head throbbed as he picked me up by my neck and slammed me against the wall, my feet barely touching the floor. I scratched at his forearm, trying desperately to make him loosen his grip but he only squeezed tighter. My eyes soon became clouded and I could feel the darkness trying to swallow me in. Suddenly, Michaels arm is yanked from my neck and I fall to the floor.
" Don't fucking touch him." Marcel growls as he stands in between Michael and I. I can't believe this..he is actually helping.
" Look Louis your little boyfriend thinks he can stop me." Michael smirks. Marcel stands his ground with his hands balled into fists at his sides and his chest is rising and falling rapidly.
" Go home kid, he deserves what's coming to him."
Michael tries to shove Marcel out of the way but Marcel punches him, causing Michael to stumble back.
Michael grabs Marcel and I scream as I watch him bring his fist back to hit him. A crack is heard as Michaels fist meets Marcel's nose and I flinch. I can't just sit here and watch so I get up, even though my body is begging me to lay back down.
"Stop Michael! Leave him alone!" I yell and of course they ignore me.
" This is all your fault Louis you know that? Life would be better if you were dead. Your mom would be happy and your dad would still-" Marcel turns them over and punches Michael over and over again with more blood on his fist after each one. I have never seen Marcel so angry or so violent and it was all to protect me, but if I don't stop him now he will kill Michael.
" Marcel stop please that's enough!" I shout as I grab his fist. Marcel is breathing hard when I finally pull him off.
" Marcel calm down it's over!" Finally he looks up at me and frowns.
" He's hurt you so many times and you want me to stop?"
He's right. Michael has hurt me so many times, some even worse then today and I should feel happy that Marcel is defending me but I don't want to stoop to Michaels level.
" Yes." I help him up and he kicks Michael in the stomach.
"If you ever and I mean ever try to touch him again, I won't hesitate to do this again. You hear me?"
Michael groans in reply and Marcel grabs my wrist and storms out.
" Where did that come from?" I ask as we get into the old rusty truck.
"I have no idea. I guess I was just so angry because he was hitting you. Why didn't you tell me he was physically abusing you."
"You didn't ask?" I reply with a shrug and he lets out a sigh.
" This is serious Louis!"
" I don't know Marcel I was scared." I reply.
" Well..you don't have to be anymore. I'll always be here for you Louis, no matter what. Everything that he said back there was a lie. Your not worthless. Your beautiful, smart, funny and I'm happy that you aren't dead."
I smiled as he placed is hand on top of mine.
" Thanks Marcel."
"I love you Lou."
"I love you Marce."
" You know your nose is bleeding right?" I ask him with a chuckle as I reach to wipe the blood from his nose.
He shrugs and I notice that his nose is actually crooked.
" Yea I think he broke my nose." He chuckles.
" Doesn't it hurt?"
" Well now it does. I didn't even feel it when I was bashing Michaels face in."
I can't help but laugh and Marcel joins as we head over to his house.
