MINE

Chapter 24-CRAWL

(AUDREY POV)

"Who has the key to Louis' room?"

I asked everyone in the dining room. Everyone's already eating the breakfast I made except for Lou and I.

"It is in the desk's drawer near the stairs." Liam replied while putting waffles on Sophia's plate.

"Thanks." I muttered as I proceed to prepare the chicken soup I made for Lou. Zayn told me that the Donnie lad may be hung-over from drinking too much last night.

"Can I also have some soup, please?" Niall eyed the bowl.

"Sure there are still a lot in the pot for everyone." I smiled at Niall who is beaming happily.

I added the ham and egg sandwich I whipped up into Lou's breakfast tray as well as a cup of tea. I hope we can talk properly now.

I hate it when we are like this. I wanted to talk to him this dawn when I arrived from bringing Harry to Dr. Michael's residence. Niall and I eventually have to bring Dimples to the doctor's home because it was too late for a house call. Not that the doctor will mind but our curly boy here thinks it's improper to bother the doctor in the middle of the night. So Niall just told the doctor we were coming instead.

When I saw Lou's Porsche Carrera parked in the garage when we got home, I ran to his room eager to make peace with him. I was greeted instead by a locked door. I figured that he may not be ready yet to talk so I just slept in the guestroom.

"I can help you bring the food up." Harry offered.

"I'm good Dimples. I can carry this." I gave him an assuring smile. I don't think Louis will appreciate seeing Harry in close proximity to me especially this time.

I carefully lifted the tray off the table and proceeded upstairs. I balanced the tray on one hand while I opened the door with another.

I smiled as soon as the door opened and I caught sight of Louis in his boxers. He didn't see me because his head is bent, as if talking to someone.

And then I saw her. Eleanor got up to sit, rubbing her eyes from sleepiness. My eyes zeroed in on her nakedness beneath the duvet. My smile was replaced by a horrified frown and everything spinned too fast. I felt the tray slipping from my hands and I was too stunned to stop it from crashing.

The loud crash eventually caught Louis' attention and he looked at me wide-eyed. I locked gaze with him for a moment, screaming HOW DARE YOU! silently.

I finally found my voice after a momentarily lapse of sanity.

" I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAN DO THIS TO ME, LOUIS!"

I don't care if the whole house crumble down because of the high volume of my voice but all my body and mind register right now is the excruciating pain of seeing Eleanor and Louis in bed.

My chest constricted and the more I see Eleanor, the heavier my heart gets. I scrambled to get escape and get away from the despicable scene. I bolted out of the room.

"BABE...IT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK!"

I heard him shout after me. The nerve of him to even call me that. I managed to ran down the plight of stairs in nanoseconds.

Louis somehow managed to catch up with me and trapped me with his arms. He is hugging me so tight, and is wailing like a madman.

"I am sorry Auds, I was so wasted. I don't know what happened last night. "

For the first time in my life, I don't want him to touch me. I want to be as far away.from him as possible but his arms has trapped me.

"Let me go! Please let me go." I screamed and begged him but he just tightened his hold on me.
