NIALL
I lay down in my bed and try to fall asleep, but it's so hard when all my mind can focus on is how Louis's doing. For nearly an hour I attempt to fall asleep. I even play music, put on my TV in the background - but nothing works.
I reach my arm over to my nightstand and grab my phone, then go to Louis' contact and FaceTime him. By what's happened, I can only assume he'll be awake too. A part of me wants him not to be, just because if he's awake that means he has been up all night thinking about what Jake did.
"Hello?" I hear my boyfriends raspy voice.
"Hi baby," I smile, then yawn. "Did I wake you up?" I worry.
"Nah, I've been awake. I'm tired, but I've been awake." He tells me.
I nod my head and sigh. "Are you sleeping in Lottie's room?" I ask him, wanting to make sure he's safe.
"Mhm," he says, shutting his eyes. "The door is locked so I'm good," he yawns.
"Good," I smile small. "I don't really wanna talk about what happened, okay? I just wanted to make sure you're doing okay. I really miss you."
"I miss you too, Nialler." Lou smiles. "And I'm alright."
"Truth?" I ask him, wanting to know everything. Louis sighs and bites his lip.
"I'm scared. I don't wanna go downstairs when he's down there." He tells me.
"Well, I'm picking you up early, remember?" I remind him.
"I know, but what if he gets up as early as me, when only us two are awake and then tries something." Louis thinks.
"That won't happen. And how about this? Just to make you feel safer, only come downstairs when you hear me knock on the door. Just so I'm with you." I smile.
"Okay," Louis smiles, his cheeks becoming crimson. "Lottie said if I tell my parents, Jake can get in a ton of trouble."
"Yup," I nod. "Lou, he assaulted you. I never really wanted to say it like this, but, like, he almost raped you. So yeah, he'll get in a shit ton of trouble."
"Yeah," Louis bites his lip. "There's no proof, though. They'd never believe it." He sighs, running his fingers through his hair.
"We'll figure it out. And he'll confess - he has to." I say, not completely knowing that, but hoping it to be true. "This'll all work out just fine."
"Yeah," Louis nods. "It's all I can see." Louis tells me. "I can't even sleep, I can only replay what happened over and over."
"Distract yourself with other things. Watch funny TV shows or something. I'll be there tomorrow morning." I smile sadly.
