Trapped

I stand up and dust off some of the dirt that was on my skirt. I hadn’t changed my outfit for a few days, so I was really starting to stink. I finally unlocked the door and walked outside. Everyone looked at me with shock and Niall quickly ran over and grabbed my hand. He tugged me into one of the side rooms that was completely empty and locked the door behind him.

“What did you say to Louis?” Niall asked me.

“I just told him that he’s changed, and I don’t like the new him. I also mentioned that I kind of heard him one night saying how he loved me when we were in the hospital.” I sighed.

I surely wasn’t going to mention the part where I told Louis I used to love him. If I did, Niall would flip out and we would start back at square one. Now wasn’t the best time for that, so I wasn’t going to bother.

“Just wait it out, don’t try to convince Louis to do anything. You could put all of us in danger, more importantly you could put yourself in danger. I don’t want to lose you.” Niall whispers.

I tried to smile, but it came out more as a half tilted smile. I hugged Niall and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I stood up and unlocked the door and walked back out. Rose, Danielle, Alyssa, and Demi were all in a corner whispering to each other. Being down here for so long, we were officially considered crazy. We completely lost contact with the outside world, and tonight would finally be the first time I could see the normal world.

We all quickly scrambled as the clicks of the locks on the door began to echo. I crawled over to a table and grasped onto the leg. I looked over at Zayn who was holding Rose and Harry who was running over to Danielle. Liam was keeping his eye on Alyssa, and Niall was right behind me. Louis walked down the steps with his two plates of food. There was a little more food than usual and everyone except me ran over to the plates like gorillas. I kept my grounds by the table as Louis walked over to me. Gee, thanks for helping me Niall.
“I have a dress upstairs for you to change into.” Louis smiles.

“Um, ok. Are you going to bring it down, or do I go upstairs?” I ask scared and trembling.

“Your choice. If you want, you can take a shower upstairs. I have everything set up.” Louis replies, still with a smile on his face.

For the first time in a long time, Louis was actually smiling, and he was even being nice to me. Louis held out his hand for me to help me up. I sat there for a few seconds, debating whether I should or not. Now, we even made a big deal about stuff like this since Louis was so dangerous. I took his hand, because I assumed if I didn’t he would hurt me or something. He pulled me up and led me up the stairs to the bathroom. The dress was hanging on a hook in the bathroom along with a purse and shoes. Louis closed the door and I could hear his footsteps slowly fade away. I was surprised at how beautiful the dress was. Louis must have spent a fortune on it. I removed all of my grubby, nasty, smelly clothes and stepped into the shower. A bar of soap, washcloth, and shampoo were all there neatly arranged for me. I turned on the shower and began scrubbing myself down. I was so dirty, I could literally see the dirt, sweat, and oil in the water. I finished up my shower and stepped out. I got myself into the dress, and slung the purse over my shoulder. I sat down on the edge of the tub and pulled my high heels on. I stood up and walked out of the bathroom.

Louis stood at the door with a bouquet of flowers and he was wearing a shiny black tuxedo. He smiled at me when I reached the door and held out the flowers.

“Are these for me?” I ask surprised.

“Who else would they be for?” Louis chuckles.

“Oh, um well thank you Louis.” I reply.

I took the flowers from his hands and slowly held them up to my nose. They smelled sweet, like a sugar cane.

Louis held out his arm like the old romance movies would do. I had no idea what to do, I didn’t want to risk myself getting hurt. I kept walking towards the front door, deciding not to. Louis frowned for a second and shook his head. He opened the door and we both walked out. He slammed the door shut behind him and locked it. As we were getting into the car another car pulled into the driveway.

“Who’s that?” I ask curiously.

“Oh that’s Mark. He watches the door to make sure none of you escape. Nothing special.” Louis grins.

“Oh.” I mutter.

The drive to the restaurant was silent except for the time when Louis asked for something out of the glove compartment. We finally arrived at the restaurant after what seemed like days. Louis kept the doors locked even after we parked and he turned towards me.

“If you even think about trying to escape, or asking for help, you’re dead along with everyone else, Lucy too. Understood?” Louis growls.

I nod my head quickly as Louis begins to unlock the car doors. I get out frantically with a plan in mind. I was going to play it all. I was going to play my last card. I was going to escape. We walked inside and Louis went up to the man, to get our table. I pulled my phone out and texted Lucy’s babysitter. I finally got bars on my phone and this was the only chance I had. I texted her everything that had happened. I texted her to come to the Frer Lapeta restaurant and pick me up. Louis turned back to me and I quickly hid my phone. I heard my phone ding, meaning she had texted me back. I know she would never say no to something like this. We went to our table and sat down across from each other.

“Isn’t this just lovely?” Louis asks casually.

I knew exactly what he was trying to do. He was playing it off in public completely innocent looking. Man, Louis turned into such an asshole.

“Yeah, just stunning.” I sigh.

A waiter came over to our table and took our orders.

“I’ll have the steak, medium rare, with a baked potato and some salad. Rai will have the chicken pasta, salad, and soup.” Louis orders.

I knew that was coming, Louis was going to order for me. The waiter nodded and left with our orders.

“Why did you order for me? I think I can order for myself.” I demand.

“I know you can, I just wasn’t going to let you order for yourself. You should just be thankful I’m taking you out, and you at least get food.” Louis grumbles.

I shake my head and lean back into the booth. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and held it under the table so Louis couldn’t see it. I checked Haley’s text, and she said she would be coming with Lucy to help.

Our food finally came and I began eating instantly. I was so hungry, I was almost done with all my food within the first five minutes of getting it. Louis was only partially done with his food when I was already done with my meal.

“I have to go to the bathroom, I’ll be right back. I think I ate all that food too quickly for my stomach to handle.” I whimper. I make myself look sick and Louis nods.

“Don’t dare try to escape. I’m watching the windows and doors. I’ll see you.” Louis replies.

I nod and grab my purse, which contained all my money and important things. I ran into the bathroom and saw they had mints and crackers. I grabbed a pack of crackers and about five mints. There was a window in the bathroom, just what I was hoping for. I quickly opened the window and crawled out. I had told Haley to come to the back, knowing Louis would be looking out the windows. I saw Haley’s car parked and I quickly ran over to it. I opened the door and got in the passenger’s side.

“Oh thank god you’re okay!” Haley exclaimed.

I began crying as I hugged Haley tightly. She hugged me back and I saw Lucy in the back, smiling and giggling. I let go of Lucy and tickle Lucy’s foot.

“I’ve missed you so much Lucy!” I exclaim.

She giggles as I continue to tickle her foot. I look at the restaurant again and remember we have to hurry.

“Let’s get out of here before Louis starts getting suspicious. We’ll call the cops later. We have to get to Louis’s flat and get everyone else.” I state.

Haley nods and begins the car. She locks all the doors and begins driving back to the front of the restaurant. I look out the window, watching the restaurant carefully. I see Louis looking out the window and he looks at the car as we pass. He squints his eyes, and his face quickly turns red. My eyes widen as Louis stands up from the booth and begins running out of the restaurant.

“Step on it! Louis saw me!” I scream.
