Louis' POV

Luckily David managed to save me as Bella tried to find out what was going on, we had far too much work to get through, so sitting around and 'gossiping' as David would say, isn't acceptable.

It's been a long day, so I'm glad to see the back of this place, closing up hasn't felt so good in a while. Even if I am on my own because everyone complains about closing, I don't mind so much.

I quickly put the last booking down into the diary, tomorrow is a quiet day so hopefully we can go home early. My phone starts to ring but as I reach into my pocket, a car quickly pulls up. I glance up and I see two people stepping out of the car, my fists clench and my adrenaline starts to rush. I head into the garage, grabbing anything in sight.

"We're closed." I say through gritted teeth testing to see if it is them. His snigger confirms I am right. I take a spanner and hold it behind my back.

"We've been waiting to see you, how are you Louis?" Max asks as he walks towards me, Gary follows behind him.

"Shall we just get on with this?" I sigh and Max smirks. Oh I can visualise wiping that smirk off his face.

"I want answers first." Max snaps and I roll my eyes. "I want you to explain to me how you think it's acceptable to fuck my girlfriend" He adds and I can't help but smile, as they stand side by side, they try to make me feel intimidated, but I'm not. If anything, I can't help but find these two clowns a joke.

"I didn't fuck your girlfriend, I was too busy trying to work out why she was keeping you a secret." I answer and Max starts to flare his nostrils angrily.

"Don't try to be clever Tomlinson." Gary snaps and Max looks at him.

"Does it really take two of you to take me on? Because I struggle when there's more than one person, I have to decide who I'm going to lay into first.." I say as I grip tightly around the spanner. My phone rings again but I ignore it.

"This time, you're going to learn not to fuck with us." Max says as he holds up a knife. Okay, my heart does skip a beat nervously, but I don't care enough to try and escape. I'll give everything I can.

"Well Gary would know he's got no chance against me, so give it your best shot Max." I laugh and Max steps towards me. "It's a shame that your girlfriend couldn't get enough of me, I heard I wasn't the only one though. How's Luke?" I ask but Max lunges forward grabbing me, I lift the spanner and I hit him straight around the head. As he drops to the floor, Gary quickly charges towards me and tackles me to the floor.

I use all of my strength to fight him off, I punch him in the ribs and he falls to the side as I forcefully shove him away. I quickly jump up ignoring the hits I received and I look at Max. He takes the knife and I prepare myself for his charge, I forcefully tighten my grip around his wrist, keeping the blade as far away from me. I suddenly feel Gary grab me as I am shoved up against the wall.

"What do we do with you huh?" Gary smirks as he tightens his grip. I try to break free but Max keeps me held back. "You don't get away with what you've done Tomlinson. This time you have to pay." Gary adds and I grit my teeth.

"How the fuck are you going to make me pay? I'm not sorry, not one little bit." Stubbornness is often reported as one of my most annoying features, I could try and beg him that I didn't mean any of this, that I wasn't necessarily to blame. I have too much pride for that, they will never see me stoop low to their level, never.

"Firstly, I want to show you how much you have annoyed me." Max smirks as he tucks his knife away and starts to punch me in the stomach, I tense as I try to block off the hit as much as I can. Gary's smirk annoys me so I do the most revolting thing, gathering spit in my mouth and shooting it directly into his left eye. That's Gary off me.

"Fuck you." I snap as I jab Max in the ribs, the punches flow out of me too easily and I can't stop. But I'm grabbed again from behind, but my body is carrying on with Max. I'm not pulled off, I'm to strong at this point as Max is getting weaker and weaker until he drops, I turn around and I elbow Gary into the ribs but he starts to throw his fists around.

I knew I could do this, I could fuck these two up easily. I start to curse Gary as I swear at him, I've always hated him and his family. They play dirty and think they can just start fights with anyone, well not me, not today because I've had enough shit to deal with.

I stumble back as I'm hit in the face repeatedly, my vision is starting to blur and I can't find the balance in my feet, come on Lou! I can't lose, not now. So I throw in punches but my body decides it's tired. I feel the two if them lay into me, but blood stains my eyes and then I feel the most sharpest pain ever. I think I have been stabbed.

Bella's POV

I search my room impatiently as I'm sure that I brought my phone home, I don't ever leave it at work. But I've looked and looked with still no luck of finding it. I've even borrowed Mum's phone to call mine but we can't hear anything. I don't want to go back to work, I don't even have keys. The only person that would have them is Louis as he locked up last night, I don't think he will be prepared to give them to me.

Maybe it's not a big deal, but I'm not in work for the next two days and I would prefer to have my mobile with me. I should just wait until tomorrow, I guess I can pick it up in the day. It's not like anyone is going to contact me with an emergency, I guess I'm just one of those people who like to have my phone on me at all times.

I sit on my bed as I have one more inner debate and mental recap of the last time I had it. I know I'm not going to rest, no matter how hard I try to convince myself that I can go a night without it, I know I am lying. So I jump up and I grab my keys along with my coat, I'll have to stop off at Louis' flat and ask him for the garage keys.



Once I'm in my car, I start to get a little nervous about seeing Louis. Today he worried me a lot, he wouldn't tell me what is going on and I could see the frustration in his eyes. I haven't seen Louis like this in a long time, I don't like to see him this way.
Whatever Emily has done, I'm sure it's not that bad. In Louis' eyes she could do no wrong, I'm just slightly gutted that he feels he can no longer tell me. Partly I am too blame for being so off with him, but I tried to give him a chance.

I sigh as I get out of the car and I head towards his flat, waiting for an answer as I hold down the buzzer.

"Hello?" A male voice answers, I can't tell if it's Ben or Tom, they both sound pretty similar,

"Hi, is Louis home?" I ask as I bite my lip, just the thought of being here seems to give me the chills as if something isn't right.

"No he's still at work is that Bella?" I think it's Tom as Ben would be asking far more questions by now, he likes to use your time on the most pointless things. But Louis at work? He was supposed to finish locking up an hour ago.

"Are you sure?" I ask as I explain he should be home by now, we never work that late and when we do all the staff members would have been told. Tom tells me that he hasn't heard anything. "Right okay, thanks." I sigh and I say goodbye.


As I walk to the car I try to think of who else I can ask, obviously I avoid David as he won't want to be disturbed outside of work. I think he's the only one with the spare set of keys. Looks like I'm just going to go with out tonight, for all I know Louis could be out on a date, with Holly.

I really don't understand that, why would he suddenly become quite friendly with her? It's all changed completely over night and it's just so weird. He made her out to be some stalker who actually gave him the creeps, now he's off out and about with her in her car. Unless he was hiding something from us all along? Maybe he did the dirty on Emily with Holly? Oh my god! I bet that's what he's done and if that's true I can't believe he would have thrown it all away. It does make sense to why he 'disliked' Holly so much and tried to divert our attention away from her by going on and on about Emily, how did I not think of his before?

I take the longer drive home as I get lost in thought and I pass the garage. My poor phone could be stuck in there. Suddenly my heart nearly stops as I notice the front door is open. I quickly stop the car and I jump out, I hesitantly make my way to the door knowing that we could have been robbed. I shouldn't be here, I'm not brave enough to confront anyone if I caught them. God, do I turn back? I can't! I'm here now.

"Hello?" I say so quietly I barely hear myself, reception is exactly how I left it, nothing has been touched, but I turn e corner and the garage is a mess. Oh my, someone has purposely broke in but what for?

"Fuck.." I hear a desperate curse and I quickly spot a trail of blood, my heart pounds hard as my throat drains completely dry. Then I witness something that nearly causes me to collapse.

"Louis!" I shout as I run to him, he's sat in the corner with his eyes squeezed shut. He's holding his shirt over his leg which is stained with blood. "Who did this?" I start to cry as I stroke his cheek, his face is completely pale and his breathing is completely disturbed. I need my phone. "I'll call for help." I sniff as I stand up.

"Belle." Louis groans and I turn to him. He winces again so I run towards reception, seeing my phone in the top draw I dial for an ambulance. The love I have for him suddenly over washes me as I fear for him, I fear for his life.
