Wrong Number - L.T 1D

Chapter Forty Six

"Uhhhh well. Ummm, I'd rather not talk about this if you don't mind," I say quietly, trying to hold off tears.

But I don't think it works because Niall's face softens, "Oh god please don't cry. I'm sorry I brought it up. I don't want you to cry. Forget I ever said anything."

"No it's okay Niall," I sniff, "I would be curious too."

"Yeah but if I knew that this was a touchy subject for you then I wouldn't have said anything," he mumbles.

"I guess, I don't know if I'm ready to tell you boys that part of my life story yet. It's sort of personal and something I'd rather not talk about. Just know this Niall, I will explain to you one day why I freaked out about you holding a knife. I promise," I smile up at him while a single tear escapes my eye.

Niall nods slowly before reaching up and wiping away the tear that is slowly trailing down my cheeks. I smile at him before resting my head back on Harry's shoulder and looking at the telly. Niall presses play and the movie starts.

Somewhere in the movie I must have fallen asleep because I wake up in a dark room on what I assume is a bed. Suddenly panic takes over my entire body at the thought of being left on my own. I quickly get out of the bed, placing my hands out in front of me so I don't run into anything.

I finally find the door handle and I twist the cold metal in my hand, opening the door. Once the door opens I am met once again by darkness but this time I can see a light at the end which makes the walls grey instead of black. I walk down the hall and into the lit room only to find no one in there.

My heart speeds up because I don't know where anyone is. I make the quick to decision to go and find the boys rooms. Since I don't know which room is which, I decide that whichever room I walk into is the room I will stay in.

Even if it's...Louis.

I walk down to the first door on the left, quietly opening it. Inside the room is dark but I can see a body breathing under the covers. My hands start to shake in fear as I think that could be my mother under there. Ready to pounce at me with a knife in her hand.

My sweaty hand slides off the doorknob and I drop to the floor on my knees in fear. I watch the body as it jumps up in surprise and I crawl backwards, terror running through my veins. I watch as whoever it was under the blankets gets out of bed and slowly walks to wards me. A scream gets stuck in my throat as my heart beats at a million miles a minute.

"Mimi? Mimi it's me. Don't worry sweetheart, its only me," I hear Louis mumble through the panic crowding my brain.

"L...Lou?" I stutter through my chattering teeth.

"Yeah it's me. Come here love. Come here," he mumbles to me as he picks me up in his arms.

I relax instantly at his touch. My heart rate slows down, the panic slowly leaves my system. I lean into Louis' chest as he sits down on the bed, still holding me in his arms.

"It's okay Mimi. I'm here now okay sweetheart. I'm here," he mumbles in my ear as he strokes my hair.

"Can I sleep in here with you Louis?" I ask weakly, "I don't want to be alone. It scares me. I'm scared that when I'm alone she's just going to appear next to me and hurt me more."

I let the tears fall down my cheeks as Louis mutters in my ear, "Of course you can love. Here, I'll lay down and you lay down right next to me okay Mim?"

I nod slightly before crawling off him and onto the soft squishy bed. I watch as Louis crawls under the covers and lies on his back. Then he lifts the blanket up for me to crawl under as well. I lay my head on his chest as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Your safe here Mimi. I won't ever let her hurt you again. As long as you're here with me, she won't ever lay another finger on you," he says quietly, his hot breath running over my hair.

"Really?" I ask him, my mind screaming at me not to believe him. Everyone hurts you and there is no way to stop it.

"Really Mimi. I may have not told the whole truth before and I may have lied to you about not breaking your trust but I swear on your life that as long as you are here next to me, in my arms, I will protect you."

And I believe him. I believe every word that came out of his mouth. The way he said, the sincerity in his voice, it helped me believe him. I snuggle up closer to Louis, warmth radiating off his bare chest. I hesitantly place one of my arms around his waist before closing my eyes.

I left my breath even out as I feel safe here in Louis' arms. I let his warmth be my comfort. I let his warmth cover my body like a blanket, securing me in a safe room, away from any harm or danger that this world has to offer.

"I am so sorry Mimi. I know better now. I should have told you, right from the start. I should have told you who I was. But I didn't and I am so sorry that I broke your trust like that. I was just scared. I was scared that you would treat me differently and that I would lose the most important thing to me. I know you won't forgive me easily and I understand, but please know I'm sorry and that I love you," I hear Louis mumble so quietly I'm not even sure it was there.

But even though I believed him about keeping me safe, I don't really believe the story that he just said. And that's what kills me. My lack of trust makes it harder for me to believe what anyone says. 

And I hate it.
