Trapped

I sit silently as I hear Louis’s feet stomp around the kitchen floor above. I could hear the soft mumbles coming from Niall as he tried to communicate with Louis. I grasped my knees tightly to me and rocked back and forth. Harry stood up and came over by me, wrapping his arms around me, comforting me.

“Niall is going to be all right. Trust me he’s strong.” Harry assured me.

I wanted to take his word for it, I really did. Deep down though, I knew he was completely wrong. I hated to say it, but Niall was as soft and plush as a feather. He couldn’t hurt a thing. That’s what I loved about him, he would never try to hurt a thing unless he really needed to. I stood up, releasing myself from Harry’s arms. Everyone was staring at the door, waiting for the familiar click of the lock and for Niall to walk back down the stairs. I walked into the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror. I did this every day to compare myself to how I looked the day before. I could now confirm I was getting worse by the day.

I turned on the sink water and stuck my hands under. The cold water felt so relaxing against my cracked and scrapped skin. I took some water in my hands and splashed it against my face. I scrubbed my face and got all the grub off. I turned off the water again and took my ponytail holder and put my hair into a new high ponytail. I walked back out of the bathroom and Niall had returned. He motioned me over to him and his face told me it was urgent. I raced over to him and sat down.

“What did he say? Did he hurt you? Are you ok?” I ask frantically.

“Don’t worry Rai, I’m fine. There’s a bit of a problem though.” Niall says, taking a deep breath.

“What is it?” I ask nervously.

“Louis said that tonight he was going to take you on a date, and there was no choice. He said if you don’t know, me and you are both dead.” Niall mumbles.

I could feel the tears gathering up in my eyes. I buried my face into Niall’s shoulder and cried. Niall wrapped his arm around me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Once I finally stopped crying, I stood up and looked at the door. I started forcing myself up the stairs until I finally reached the door that separated us from the outside world. I pounded on the door, and I could hear Niall mutter “Rai no!”

The door opened and Louis stood there with a smirk on his face. He grabbed my arm and pulled me up, closing the door and locking it behind him. He pulled me to him and wrapped his arms around my waist, squeezing my bum.

“So, that dinner tonight? You coming or is there going to be a different change of plans?” Louis grins.

“No, I’m coming tonight. I don’t want to get myself killed, and that’s the only reason why I’m going.” I reply.

Louis leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I pull away as quickly as I could and Louis frowned.

“You’ll want me once Niall’s dead, won’t you, you little slut.” Louis chuckles.

"Why are you doing this Louis? This isn’t going to get you anywhere. I’m never going to truly love you, no matter what you do. And when you were with me at the hospital, I heard what you said. I wasn’t asleep, I heard it all. And after that, I actually had feelings for you. I forced myself not to, but no matter what I did, I still loved you. Now, I don’t think I ever will again.” I growl at him.

I quickly shake out of Louis’s grip before he could do anything. I run for the door and turn around to get one last glimpse of him. His face was full of shock and anger. I quickly slammed the door behind me and ran down the steps. Everyone was looking at me nervously as I approached the bathroom. I slammed the bathroom door behind me which caused a rattle. I sat down on the toilet and began to cry. I thought Louis was the nicest person ever, but now he was a monster.

I sat in the bathroom listening to the pounding of Niall and Rose’s fists. I could hear them all muttering nervously outside as they tried to get me to come out. It wasn’t for a whole hour until I realized something. When Louis was mad earlier, he wasn’t mad at any of us, he was mad at himself.
