Indecisive

— Emilys P.O.V. —

When I wake up in the morning Louis’ arms are still tightly holding onto me. I smile and wriggle from his grip, I kiss him on the cheek before walking down stairs. Im hungry so I walk into the kitchen and pick up a banana. As I’m walking back upstairs theres a loud knock on the door. I open it to find a pretty blonde girl, she is dressed like a bit of a slut but I'm not going to judge. She looks me up and down.
“who are you” she asks in a disgusted tone.
“I’m Emi-“ I try to say but I'm cut off.
“Actually I dont care, where is Louis” She says rudely. I was about to say he is in bed but she barges past me when she sees him coming down the stairs.
“LOU!!” she squeals and hugs him before they lock lips.
Oh.
I walk out of the house seeing as I'm still in leggings and my jumper. I begin to walk, I just keep going. I don’t hear footsteps chasing after me, I don’t hear my name being called in that charming voice. Too charming, actually made me believe he liked me. Why am I always made to be the fool. I look up and see Harry’s car drive past and then screech to a stop and reverse. Niall jumps out and comes up to me.
“Emily please listen to me” Niall pleads, I nod my head telling him to continue.
“Emily I really like you, and yes I may have been eavesdropping but I just wanted to know what you were talking about… and then I heard that you kissed and jealousy and anger just fully took over. I’m so sorry, I didn't mean to say what I said, I will never speak a word of your dad again I swear.” he rambles on but I’ve already forgiven him.
“Niall it’s okay, I over reacted a little bit, I guess it just hit a nerve but i’m fine” He smiles and then looks around
“Wheres Louis? why are you out here” Niall asks worriedly
“He’s kissing some bimbo at his house” I say and look down. Niall wraps his arms around me and hugs me tightly.
“You deserve better than that” Niall whispers to me. He looks me in the eye and strokes my cheek, a warm feeling spreads all through my body. He closes his eyes and starts leaning in. Is he going to kiss me? Do I want this?
“HORAN GET AWAY FROM HER!” I hear Louis’ voice. Niall’s eyes shoot open and he groans.
“What do you want Tomlinson” Niall snaps
“I would like you to stop trying to make a move on my girl” His jaw tenses and his fists are balled at his sides.
“Your girl? Is that blonde girl you were kissing 2 minutes ago ‘your girl’ as well? I bet all this nice guy stuff was just an act to get me into bed or something. How stupid am I to believe you actually liked me” I go on, managing to not cry.
“Emily just come home and let me explain” He tries to grab my hand, but i pull away and walk past him back towards the house. I need to get my bag. I walk in the door and run upstairs i grab my bag and make sure hunter is in it and i begin to walk home, to my real home. It’s obviously not working out staying anywhere else. Who knows, maybe my dad will have missed me. Harry and Niall are driving alongside me so I take a couple of alleyways, there is no way they’ll let me go home but it isn't up to them. I deserve whatever I get. plus I only have to stick it out until November 29th, another 2 months, thats my 18th birthday. Then I can finally leave. I walk up the steps to my house when I eventually get there and grab the door handle. I stick in my key in the lock and take a deep breath.
“home, sweet home” I whisper to myself before opening the door.

When I walk in there is no noise, no lights, all of the curtains and blinds are closed. I walk up to my bedroom to find my father sitting on my bed. His head is placed in his hands.
“dad?” i question when I see him
“Well would you look whose back” he smirked. I actually thought he was missing me for a second.
“we have a lot to catch up on, don’t we?” his evil little smile never leaving his wrinkled face. I don’t reply I know whats coming. I’m pushed to the ground.
“Think you could just leave did you? I bet you learnt pretty quickly that no one else could stand living with you” his words hurt, because its the truth. Neither Harry’s, nor Louis’ house worked. They will probably never forgive me for coming back here, I don’t know if I will ever forgive myself for coming back here. What was I thinking that something could've actually changed in my dads head? That my absence would make him realise how much i do for him and that he actually wants me around. Im stupid. There’s a knock on the front door. I only now realise that my dad has been repeatedly kicking me in the stomach but I was so zoned out I wasn't even focusing on it.
“Don’t move” he grunts and walks out of my bedroom. I hold onto my stomach and curl into a ball. I can faintly hear the conversation at the door.
“Is Emily here?” I hear Harry’s voice
“She is, but she only just got home and we’re doing some catching up” i can imagine the smile on his face as he said it.
“Please just let us see her for 1 second” I make out Niall’s voice.
“I said she isn't taking visitors!” My dad yells and I hear a slam of the door. All the stress causes me to slowly drift out of consciousness.

*** Harry’s P.O.V. ****

We wait out the front of my house until we see her dad walk out of the house and the opposite way down the street. We go up to the front door and try to open it but its locked. We bang on the door but there is no response. God I hope she's okay. We climb around the house to her bedroom window and look in to see her lying on the ground. She looks dead but I see her chest rise and fall a couple of times. I look at Niall, he has tears in his eyes and he looks at me frightened and angry.
“We have to teach that man a lesson.” he says in a strong voice.
“I know but first we have to help her” I point to unconscious Emily.
We bang on the window for about 5 minutes hoping for any kind of response.
“Niall go check the back door” I say as I keep banging. He does as I ask. A few minutes later he walks into Emily’s room and opens the window for me. We both drop to her side. Her shirt is slightly lifted at the bottom and I see purple. I push her onto her back and lift her shirt a tiny bit more. Bruises cover her entire stomach and side. I stare at Niall in shock.
“We have to wake her.” Niall says. He goes and gets a cup of water and tips it on her face. I sit her up and rub her back until we see her sad blue eyes slowly flutter open. As soon as she is fully concoius she grabs her stomach and winces at the pain.
“Emily what were you thinking!” I ask sternly but not yelling. I don’t want to upset her anymore.
“I thought he’d have missed me” She says emotionless. With that she stands up.
“Thanks” she says casually, as if I had let her borrow my car or lent her $5 or something stupid.
“I have to be here until my birthday, otherwise he’ll probably get someone to come find me” She says. I shake my head.
“No way. I’m sorry no. You’re going back to Louis’ house” I tell her and she looks confused. I’ve been thinking about this since she left and Louis and I spoke about it.
“Louis and I think it will be whats best for you. He has a huge house, I barely have any room at mine. He explained to me about the girl and I really think you should listen to him Em” I explain and she smiles
“You’re friends again?” she questions. I smile. Niall rolls his eyes. He hates the fact that I’ve forgiven Louis and that he’s winning Emily over.
“I guess we are” She jumps up and hugs me although I can tell its hurting her.

Niall carries her out of the front door and too my car. She nuzzles herself into his chest and she looks like she is going back to sleep.
“Keep her awake” I say to Niall, he looked like he was enjoying carrying her. Once we get to Louis’ house we sit in the car for a minute and go over our story.
“Okay so I think you should just tell him the truth” I say to her but she shakes her head.
“Okay so when you were walking home, some guys stopped you and beat you up trying to take your money, but you had none?” Niall says. She nods and gets out of the car. I texted Louis and told him we’re here and the story that we made up about Emily, pretty much as the text delivered he ran out of the front door and guided Emily inside. I carried in Emily’s bag that I grabbed from her house and Niall followed me in. We’ve seen Louis’ house quite a few times so it isn't a huge deal to us anymore. As soon as Emily is settled Niall and I head back to my house and he goes home a bit later on.

Notes

I don't really know where I'm going with this story at the moment, just kind of making it up...
