Prompt: You are in an abusive relationship and Louis is your best friend. When he finds out, you both get closer and he helps you get out of it.
*Trigger Warning! Abuse!*
Your Point of View
"Get in there, you slut!" Ron said as he pushed into the house. "I don't know why I even stay with you, you're so useless. A nobody!"
Suddenly, his hand hit my face. I shrieked and jumped back, almost starting to cry.
"You're such a crybaby. I guess if you want to be one, I'll give you something to cry about." He said evilly.
He started to hit me and kick me. Once he had gotten me to fall on the grown, he kept kicking my ribs.
"S-stop! Y-you're hurting me!" I cried out. All I could think about was if he didn't stop, I was going to die. And I can't believe I haven't because he's been doing this for about a year.
As if my prayers were actually heard, the phone rang and he sighed, going over to get it. I sighed in relief and got up, trying to walk, but stopped when pain seared through my stomach. So, I slowly walked out of 'our' house and sat on the bench we had outside on the porch.
I closed my eyes for a few seconds and then my phone buzzed.
Louis: Can we hang out, now? I have something I need to talk about.. :(
Me: Sure, Lou. Where?
Louis: Cafe where you work?
Me: Be there in 5.
I walked the short distance to the coffee shop down the road and opened the door. Once I stepped in, Louis was sitting at a two-person table... in tears?
"Lou? Are you alright?" I asked as I sat down. His eyes were bloodshot and he had his face in his hands.
"N-no. D-Dani broke up with me for a model. A model!" He said softly, "I-I just wanted to talk to you. You always seem to say the right thing."
"Oh, Lou, you didn't deserve that. I'm not sure why she would ditch such a nice person over a model. She just didn't see that she had the whole package and now that you're not together, one day she'll regret ever doing that to you because I can assume that you always gave her everything and all of you." I said.
I wish Ron would break up with me for a model, I thought.
Louis sighed and looked up at me, frowning. "Is that a bruise?"
I started to panic, but quickly said, "Where?"
"On your cheek... are you okay?" He asked. I really didn't think it would be noticeable!
"Oh. Hmm... yea, I'm okay." No, no I'm not and I wish he could just take me away from that monster.
"Well, thanks for meeting up with me. Sorry to bother you, love," he said with a smile.
"Louis, it's not a problem. Ask me any time." I said as I went over to hug me. As soon as his body hit mine, I shrieked. Whoops.
"What?! What did I do??" Louis exclaimed. I held onto my stomach and took a few breaths.
"I-I'm sorry, didn't mean to startle you. Uhm, it's nothing. Don't worry about it, Lou. See you later." I quickly left and walked back to my house.
"Where have you been?!" Ron yelled. Great, just great!
"I was with Louis," I said, casually, "You know the one with a girlfriend?" Well, now ex-girlfriend, but he didn't need to know that.
"You are such a whore, you know that? Is one guy not enough for you?" He growled.
I stepped back as he started getting closer to me. "Oh no, you're going to get punished for that. Are you ever going to learn to be a good girlfriend?" He pushed me to the ground and I covered my face as he started to kick. I yelped when his foot collided with my nose and it gave an agonizing pop.
After that, all I did was sob. I didn't even care if he was going to beat me harder for crying, but I couldn't be strong anymore and as I was crying, I was coughing up blood.
"Get up." He said sternly. I didn't.
"Get up, you useless piece of garbage!!" He held his fist up and punched me in the face. I yelped and scrambled up on my feet.
"I'm leaving for a while. You are not to leave the house. Got it?" I nodded.
"I said, got it?!" he pushed me into the wall and I hit the ground with a thud.
"G-got it," I said, whimpering.
Once he left, I just laid on the floor, in too much pain to get up. My nose was gushing blood and everytime I swallowed, all I could taste was blood. Not good... not good at all.
"Y/N? Are you home??!" I heard Louis' voice yell. I didn't have the strength to yell, so I stayed quiet and sat up, laying my head against the wall.
The door creaked open and Louis said, "Y/N, you here??!" Then, he shifted his glance to where I was.
"Y/N! Oh my gosh! You need an ambulance! What happened???!" He ran over to me and grabbed his phone, probably to call the police and an ambulance.
"Where's Ron?" Louis asked after he was done calling the police.
I cringed, "He-He... abuses me, Louis. He did this to me, but to answer your question, he left to a bar or something. " I said, quietly.
"He did this to you? Why didn't you say something? And how long has it been?" He asked as he wiped my nose with a cloth.
"I was always scared to tell anyone in fear of getting beaten up even more. And it's been about a year, but it's started getting harsher these last few months." I said, wincing in pain. Some of my ribs were probably broken.
"Oh my gosh. You've been in an abusive relationship for a year? Oh, love. I know you felt scared, but you could've talked to me. I'm you're best friend and I would never turn you down on something like this." He said, teary eyed.
I cried because now all this weight is lifted and now I could get out of this place.
"Baby, how about you come live with me for a while. Okay? Text Ron right now and break up with him and if you say 'he loves you', he doesn't. He's abusing you. That's not called love, that's called he wants to feel power over you. I'll go pack you a bag. The ambulance should be here any minute." I smiled at his small speech.
"What would I do without you, Lou?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm happy I got here when I did." He kissed my forehead and ran upstairs.
Suddenly, I heard sirens and my door was flung open.
"Can you tell me your full name?" Asked a paramedic.
"Y/N Y/Last/N." I said, wincing.
"Alright, guys, let's get her on a stretcher. Where's the guy who called us?"
"He's upstairs." I said, quietly as they slid me on a stretcher.
"Alright, load her in, I'll go get the guy who called." The taller one said. Once they got me in, Louis came in soon after.
"T-text him for me. Want you to do it." I said as I reached for my phone in my pocket, handing it to him. He took it and angrily typed away. He gave it back and I looked. He changed the name to Prick instead Ron. Oh, Louis.
Me: We're over. Okay? I'm done with you abusing me and using me. I'm moving away from your sorry a** and never coming back. I've packed all my stuff and I'm gone. Bye, you selfish prick. I hope you never find love, because you don't deserve it.

"Dang, Lou. Sassy much?" I chuckled, but winced soon after.
"Well, nobody hurts you and gets away with it."
I smiled and had a feeling like I would be safe with him.
Months Later
Louis and I have been getting g closer and I can't help but blush when I catch him starring at me.
I was walking around the corner when I bumped into him and we both went tumbling down, our lips locking.
I blushed and pulled away, saying, "M'sorry. I didn't mean to do that."
"I'm not. I've been wanting to do that for ages." He said as he kissed me again. I gasped, but kissed him back.
"Can you promise me something?" I asked.
"Anything. Just tell me." He said, genuinely.
"I want to be your girlfriend, but I don't want you to ever use violence if we get mad at each other. You promise you won't?" I asked, sadly.
"Of course, baby. I would never do what that monster did to you. I promise you, I will only lay a finger on you if it's to kiss you or cuddle or- well you get the gist." I giggled at his explanation.
"Be my girlfriend." He said, lips hovering over mine.
"Always." I said as I closed the gap.
For the next hour, we cuddled and all I could think is, This boy saved me and I would probably be getting beaten up right now if it wasn't for him.
"Thank you, Lou. For everything." I said, falling asleep.
"No problem, Pumpkin. Anything for you." He said, drifting off too sleep.
Before falling asleep, I kissed his forehead and snuggled deeper into his embrace.
"Love you, Lou."
"Love you too, baby."
And with that, I knew I'd be just fine.
