It Hurts
Blacking Out
Louis P.O.V.
I remembered where I saw her now. This was that girl in the park. She still looked depressed. But I could tell some of it was lifted when I complimented her. The boys were still stunned over how good these drawings were.
"Wow. These are so good!" Harry encouraged.
The other boys and I were quick to agree. Alexis looked somewhat relieved and somewhat happy.
"Do you do anything other than drawing?" Liam asked.
"I play the guitar and sing." Alexis replied.
The boys nodded. I looked at her curiously.
"Did you happen to be in the park earlier today?" I questioned.
"Yeah why? Oh wait, don't tell me. You were the boys I saw watching me." she replied.
The boys and I were nodding kinda sheepishly.
"Uh huh. Thought so." she smirked.
Alexis P.O.V.
I smirked at them as they replied. My phone rang. I didn't recognize the number. But I answered anyways.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Remember me?" a voice cackled through my phone.
"Trevor! H-how did you find us? What the hell do you want?" I snapped through my phone.
The boys were looking at me concerned.
"You know what I want. Revenge. And your the perfect one to target. Your sister broke my heart." Trevor snarled.
I was mad. This boy didn't know what he was getting himself into.
"You know what you jerk. Natalie didn't do no such thing! You asked her to marry you after a month of dating! A month! I don't care what you do. But if you go after Natalie, let me make this clear. I. Will. Hunt. You. Down. Just leave us alone." I informed.
The boys were a bit shocked at my sudden outburst. I was furious this boy had enough nerve to point out that it was MY SISTER'S fault she stared cutting. MY SISTER'S fault that she was mentally unstable. Hanging up the phone I clenched my teeth. So many emotions ran through my body. Fear. Anger. Regret. Sadness. Loneliness.
"I'm sorry you guys had to experience that. But I have to get home. The sooner I know my sisters are safe, the better." I explained.
The boys said their goodbyes.
"Hey can we have your number?" Zayn asked.
"Sure" I replied.
Quickly I scribbled my name and number down on a slip of paper. After that, I slipped out towards the nearest exit. Jogging down the street, I saw my house come into view. As fast as I could I sprinted up through the door. Looking through the house, I found Natalie and Sarah fast asleep in there rooms. I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. I literally skipped down the steps. Stepping outside, I looked at the stars. Something hit me in the head. I fell over. The last thing I saw was his crooked smiled. And the words hovering around my ears.
"I told you your the perfect target."
Then everything went black.
Harry P.O.V.
The lads and I decided to follow Alexis. She was still depressed. You could tell. We were walking behind her. She quickened her pace. But we just kept ours. No need to scare her out of her wits. Once at her house, we saw her looking at the stars. A relieved expression was on her face. Before any of us could react, something hit her. She toppled to the ground. I guess we were all too shocked to move. A body was leaning over her. Almost as quickly as it had been at her side, the figure left. We rushed to her. Alexis' eyes were closed.
"Call 911!" Louis yelled.
Niall scrambled for his phone. He was talking to 911.
"Hey lads, what about what was her name? Natalie? Don't you think she lives here too? Shouldn't she know?" Liam spoke up.
"Zayn and I'll go." I spoke up.
Zayn nodded his head.
"They should be here soon." Niall informed.
Louis was crouched on the ground next to Alexis. He was inspecting her injury. I went up to the door with Zayn. We knocked on the door. Thankful Alexis was out of sight from the front door, we nervously waited. A girl answered the door. She was probably a few inches shorter than me. If Alexis wasn't knocked out, I'd be flirting with her right now.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"I'm Harry and this is Zayn. Are you Natalie?" I gently informed.
"No I'm Sarah. Alexis and Natalie's little sister. Is something wrong with Alexis?" Sarah questioned.
"Um can we step inside real quick? We need to talk to both you and Natalie. Alexis should be fine." Zayn replied.
Sarah nodded her head. Zayn and I walked in. I guessed that the brunette sitting on the couch was Natalie. Her arms were wrapped in gauze and medical tape.
Louis P.O.V.
I crouched next to Alexis checking out the blow to her head. It was pretty nasty. Her breathing was uneven. It sounded like she was going to be okay. But the wound was an angry red color.
"You'll be okay Alexis. I can't loose the friend I haven't met yet." I whispered.
All of the sudden, I heard a sharp scream. I winced and felt bad for Zayn and Harry. They were facing Natalie. A girl probably about Harry's age, zipped out of the house. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. She spotted Alexis and sat down next to her.
"W-who are you?" she mumbled.
"I'm Louis. I know Alexis from the concert she was at. Are you Natalie?" I asked.
"No I'm Sarah. The youngest sister. Nat's inside. Do you know what happened?" Sarah replied.
"We came to check on your sister. She was worried about something. Once we got here, a person was standing over her. He left once we got there. Alexis was already on the ground."
Sarah didn't reply. She just sat there, tears streaming, watching Alexis.
Sarah P.O.V.
The two boys that were at the door looked anxious. So I let them in. Natalie was sitting on the couch in her own little world. She looked up when the boys came in. Acknowledging them, just not caring. I sighed. Sitting down, I looked at the boys.
"Okay shoot." I instructed.
The one called Harry looked at me. He took a deep breath.
"We came here to check on your sister Alexis. She was hurt by someone. Hit in the head. She's unconscious." Harry informed.
I screamed. Tears streamed down my face. The thought of Alexis unconscious, hurt, my strongest sister, so crippled and weak. Looking over to Natalie, she had tears on her cheeks too. I sprinted out the door. Straight to my sisters's side.
Alexis P.O.V.
I heard voices. Maybe? I don't know. It was blurred. My head was pounding. I had a migraine. Trying to stretch open my eyes, I opened them and they came into focus. They were all there. Harry, Louis, Niall, Liam, Zayn, Natalie, and Sarah. I looked at my surroundings. The room was all white. There were tubes in my left arm. I had a breathing tube in my nose. Sarah was the first to notice I was awake.
"Oh Alex! Your awake!" she breathed the sigh of relief.
I nodded. Too tired to speak. I tried to lift my head. I winced as a throbbing exploded through out it. Quickly I set it back down.
"Hold on there love. You've had a concussion. You've been out for a little while." Louis informed.
Finding my voice, I whispered, "How long have I been out?"
"A week." came the reply from Niall.
I was shocked. A week. I've been out for a week. A doctor picked that moment to walk into the room.
"Glad to see that your awake." the doctor smiled.
I nodded.
"I'm going to ask you some questions. Please answer to the best of your ability."
"Before we start, can everyone but Louis leave the room?" I hoarsely asked.
I bet they were shocked to find out that I only wanted Louis, but they accepted and left. Louis sat down in the chair next to my bed.
"Name?" the doctor asked.
"Alexis Molly Andersen." I replied.
"Date of birth?"
"24, December 1992."
I bet that surprised Louis. My birthday on the same day as his.
"Age? " the doctor questioned.
"20." I yawned.
"Okay. Onto more complicated questions. Where are you from?"
"Originally London. But we moved here to Leadville."
"What are your sisters first names?"
"Natalie and Sarah."
"Do you remember who attacked you?"
"His name's Trevor. I know it was him. He killed my parents and forced my sister into cutting."
The doctor and Louis looked shocked. I knew they would be.
"Natalie had to leave cause she can't and I mean absolutely can't know that Trevor attacked me."
I was really upset. This was causing more stress than I wanted. A couple tears found their way down my cheeks. Louis grabbed my hand and squeezed. He sent me a sympathetic glance.
"The reason I only wanted Louis in here is because I need to tell him something."
"Your memory seems to be fine. I'll let you two be." the doctor informed.
I nodded my head.
"What did you want to tell me love?" Louis asked.
Shivers crawled up my spine. Every time he called me love, it made me happy.
"I wanted to say thank you. I heard you talking to me while I was unconscious. And for making me smile." I replied.
"No problem. But why for the smile?" he questioned.
"I haven't laughed. Much less smiled in forever. Once you made me smile, I was relieved from some of my depression. You changed me Louis. Ever since my parents died, the depression was slowly taking over my life. All because of you, it was turned around."
He grinned. I smiled as well.
"You know you should smile more often. Makes you look prettier." Louis complimented.
"Ah so cheeky now are we?" I smirked.
"It depends."
I laughed. God, laughing felt so good after so long. He was smiling.
"I'm tired Lou. But thanks for making me laugh." I mumbled.
I sleepily closed my eyes and crashed.
