CHAPTER SIX

Louis P.O.V

The soft smell of her perfume, the gentle touch of her pale skin, the way her body curled next to me, her fingers sliding up and down gently on my bare chest, her warm breath on my neck, her hair falling over her face and her eyes looking straight into mine. She smiled, turning around and lifting her body a little off the bed, resting her head on her hands. I could see every scar, every bruise, every trace of her past marked on her skin, but she was still beautiful. Cassie was beautiful and at that moment I knew she was the one. I didn't care about what she had done yesterday or the day before or a year before all that mattered to me was now, tomorrow and my future with her.

Somewhere below the door slammed hard. Cassie looked up alert and watched the bedroom door. Heavy footsteps were climbing the stairs and there was another loud bang. She got up and locked the door, searching for her phone.

"Shit" she muttered as another bang echoed in the hall.

"It must be Emily, maybe she's in a bad mood" I said to her. I remembered Emily's anger attacks in school, nobody could control her. She would scream and throw whatever she had in her hands at someone.

"No…" Cassie said. "That's not Em- FUCK!"

Her phone started ringing, she started pressing all the buttons to shut it up but it was too late. The footsteps had stopped and now a shadow was forming through the bottom part of the door. I got up and pulled up my pants. Cassie was looking terrified as someone began to knock loudly. Then suddenly the door swung open and my eyes fell on the guy with the 9mm gun in his hand.

"Oh" he said with a devilish chuckle. "Well isn't this a wonderful sight"

Oliver was looking at the both of us clearly amused of what was going on. His eyes darted to Cassie who was half naked, stone faced and gripping her phone tightly, then to me; he looked at me up and down and then to the all the clothes that lay forgotten on the floor. He took one step inside and I took a step closer to Cassie.

"No, no pretty boy. You stay over there" Oliver said pointing the gun at the bed. "This little slut and I are going to have some fun, aren't we babe?". His fingers traced alongside her tiny figure and began kissing her collarbone. Cassie stayed motionless, tears coming from her closed eyes. "Reckon you're up for one more round? I really miss making you scream"

"P-p-please Oliv-ver… don't" she cried. She looked at me, she was scared. "I'll d-do anything, j-just let him go. P-PLEASE"

Cassie's P.O.V

This wasn't happening, not now. I could see Louis clenching his fist and jaw as Oliver's heavy breathing reached my breasts. Tears fell hard into his face. He couldn't do anything. I didn't want him to do anything; the mere thought of him getting hurt because of me was killing me inside. I begged Oliver to let him go but he wouldn't budge. The twisted smile was once again in his face as he looked straight into my eyes as he spoke.

"No Cassie, let him watch. It's going to be a lot of fun" he said laughing then he whispered in my ear, "I told you I'd come back for you, and I ain't leaving her without you"

The nightmare went on; no words could describe Louis' face as Oliver bit and kissed every single part of my body. He was teasing him. Letting him know who was in control. It sickened me; I felt the urge to kick him right in the nuts as he pressed his body into mine. I closed my mouth shut as his tongue fought to get inside my mouth.

*BANG BANG BANG*

"Cassie, open up! It's Emily. Cassie! Louis!"

Oliver stopped what he was doing and looked at me, then at my phone.

"You little bitch" he spat and punched me, sending me to the floor spitting out blood. My hands stopped my face from getting even more damaged but my phone didn't meet the same fate. The name 'Emily' was still on the screen when Oliver crushed it with his foot. Louis' had moved from the bed and was walking my way. "Don't even think about it"

"Oliver this is the police. Step out immediately with her hands above your head"

"Well this gets more fun by the minute" he said. He kicked me. I was trying to crawl away from him but the minute he looked down her caught hold of my hair and lifted me off my feet.

"Leave her alone!" Louis yelled red in the face. "Take me instead"

"N-no Louis. St-st-ay there" I said as blood still spilled from my mouth.

"Yeah, you know what. I'm taking him instead. Come on, hands on your head'n walk in front of me. Slowly" Oliver said. He threw me on the bed where Louis caught me and put me down gently. He kissed my forehead and left smiling. "You stay there"

I looked at him and spat at the floor. He laughed and left the room locking the door behind him. I got up and tried to force it but it was useless, I was weak. Pulling on a shirt and wiping the blood that was left in my mouth I put my ear onto the door. I heard a lot of yelling.

"Now Oliver please, put the gun down and walk to us slowly"

"Like sit I'm gonna put down my gun you fucking piece of shit. No, this time I'm not the one that's going to lose"

"Oliver stop being such a dumbass and leave Louis alone"

"Make me sis"

"Oliver I'll say it one more time. Put down the gun and walk slowly towards us. Let him go"

"I SAY FUCK YOU ALL"

There was a single gunshot. The noise ringed in my ears and I started crying and yelling, pulling on the door's handle. Footsteps ran up the stairs and started calling out my name. I recognized Emily's and the other man. What happened to Louis? What happened to Oliver?

"I'm here, over here Em" I shouted.

"Stand back Cassie" a rough voice said. I did what I was told and covered myself from the sudden pieces of wood flying everywhere. Before I could even close my eyes someone was hugging me and crying into my shoulder. Emily's red curls obscured my vision completely but I didn't care, I hugged her back tightly shedding a couple of my own tears.

"Where's Louis?"

Those were the first words to escape my mouth when we parted. She looked into my eyes and shook her head. It seemed the bullet had hit Oliver but not before passing through Louis. They had both fallen. They were both gone.

"No, Emily. No. No. NO! Please tell me you're lying. Please tell me this a fucking joke"

"Cassie please just calm down"

"NO. NO. OH GOD. HOW CAN YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN?"

I shook with rage. How could she possibly ask me to calm down? I wasn't going to fucking calm down. My mind was everywhere. There was an inexplicable pain in my heart that made me go out of breath. Tears after tears flooded my face. Emily held on to me as I cried and screamed into her chest.
