City lights

Introduction

The air hung low and the horrid London storm raged through the City. Tonight was even worse than the night before. My so called 'boyfriend' yet again abused me. He had cut up my left arm with a razor. The cut was about 3cm long. He had kicked my legs a gazillion times. He has slapped my right cheek too. He also chucked me out the house to roam the streets of London. I had packed my makeup bag,phone,hairbrush,a hand mirror and some food into my hand bag. The rain was bouncing down onto my brown hair. I was drenched. My clothes stuck to my skinny body. My outfit wasn't at all helpful nor warm in weather conditions like this. I had a crop top that reached just before my belly button on, black skinny jeans and black and blue converse. My makeup was probably smudged but I didn't give a shit. My cuts and bruises were on full display. "Excuse me love" I heard a voice come behind me. I didn't bother to turn. I wasn't in the mood. I kept my head down and clenched my handbag on my right shoulder tighter. I saw white trainers run behind my feet. I kept to my steady pace. I walk quite quickly so whoever this person who was 'stalking' me was they had to jog to keep up. I felt an arm brush against my cut. I looked up to see a boy around my age looking at me and my cute smiling at me then looking worried at my cuts. "You don't s-self ha-..." I interrupted him. "No I don't it's a long story." I sighed. He looked relieved. I started to walk away. He grabbed my arm. I have to admit he is super hot. "Wait. Emm.. My name is Louis." He said smiling. I weakly smiled back. "Beth." I replied. He smiled. "Nice to meet you. So what is a pretty young lady doing out here alone this time of night? I mean it's 3:00 am." He said showing me his watch. "Shit. I didn't realise. It's a long story Louis. I better be heading." I said. "N-no please. Where are you going? Do you have a place to stay?" He asked worried. "Um no but I have some pals who live somewhere around here!" I said smiling. "No please let me walk you to mine. You can have a warm drink and wear one of my hoodies to heat up." He stated. " I couldn't do that. I mean it's 3 o'clock and you need your space and I don't want to interfere with plans or anything." He shook his head no and grabbed my hand. "Please stay! You will keep me company and I'm not doing anything or going anywhere tomorrow so you're fine." Louis said dragging me to his house. When we got there it was huge. He opened the door and let me in first. I looked around the massive hall while he locked the door. It was all very modern. "Come through to the kitchen so I can make you something." He said holding his hand out. I accepted and skipped along with Louis to the kitchen. He made us hot chocolate with marshmallows on the top. "Thanks" I said as he passed it to me. He sat beside me and the high seated chairs. The chairs were white leather and black leather put in a pattern. The middle cooking island was used as a table. We sat and drank our drinks. "Listen Louis. Please I really don't want to be any trouble. I have money to rent out a hotel for at least 2 months or so until I can get a house. I will be fine trust me." I said. Louis now knew all about my ex boyfriend and how he kicked me out. "Beth. You are no trouble at all. Your so sweet and funny so I'm not letting you go. Please stay." He said. I was kinda forced to stay with Louis. Not that I minded cause he is hilarious and sweet. Louis insisted on keeping me here until he bought me a house. I was NOT happy with this at all!!!! It has been nearly 2 weeks he has wanted me to stay for. He reminds me of someone. I mean he looks like someone that has been in the news a lot lately. I just can't place his face. We made breakfast and sat in the living room and turned the T.V on. The middle aged woman sitting at her desk with the background and coffee cup flashed up on screen. "Over 3 weeks ago now worlds most wanted gang, one direction escaped from jail. Police are on high security levels to try catch the 5 deadly boys. It has been reported leaders Harry Styles and Niall Horan where seen with fellow members Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Loui-" the T.V was switched off. I looked at Louis who looked very worried. "I-I'm so sorry it's just they make me very uncomfortable. I just don't errm see the reason to be in a gang and yeah so errm yeah" Louis said really nervously. That's where I have seen his face before. When they report about one direction! Louis something that's one of the members!! NO I can't be no its not!! This Louis is to nice and sweet to be in fucking one direction!!
