Chapter 12

“Uhm good morning.” Abigail smiled awkwardly as she peeked into the kitchen just a towel around her. I looked up from my plate and offered a warm smile which she returned.

“Morning babe.” Niall said as he took a seat next to me.

“I hate to be a bother…. But I haven’t gotten any clothes…”

“Oh no problem! I have some I think and if you want I’ll take you by your house to pick some up… if that’s okay with Niall.” I told her and Niall nodded as I led her down the hall. She followed, her bare feet padding against the wood flooring as we turned into my room.

I looked through my dresser trying to find something my ex-girlfriend may have left here. “Uh do you care about wearing a onesie?” I chuckled turning around with the purple onesie in hand.

“Better than nothing.” She shrugged. “I’ll just go change in the bathroom.

“Alright, when you come out we’ll go to get your clothes.”

“Thanks Louis.”

Abigail’s P.O.V.

I finished up getting ready, making myself look as decent as possible. I pulled my hair back into a bun and examined myself in the mirror.

“Abby are you ready?” Louis called from outside the door. I sighed and collected everything exiting the bathroom. I smiled at him as I walked past going to put on my shoes and grab my bag.

“Alright Abigail when you come back we’re going to go down to the local high school okay?” Niall said to me as I tied up my sneakers.

“But- okay.” I mumbled standing up straight.

“Keep an eye on her Louis.” Niall muttered as Louis walked past. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the apartment Louis following behind me.

“Uh are you okay after last night and everything?” Louis asked breaking the silence that had encased us.

“Uhm yeah I’m fine.” I answered sharply not really wanting to talk about it.

“If you ever need to talk to anyone you can come to me…” He told me hesitantly glancing over at me. I just nodded my head as he opened the passenger door for me.

I hopped in and he ran around the other side starting up the engine. “Just give me the directions.”

20 minutes later and we were out front of the old beaten down house. “This is it.” I laughed stepping out of the car.

“You live here?” Louis chuckled disbelief laced in his voice. I nodded and I opened the door, the hinges squeaking.

I kicked off my shoes and pulled the string turning on the hall light. Louis followed me through the house stopping every now and then to look at things on the wall, pictures of me and my uncle. He always tried to make the house look like ‘happy and safe family home’ just in case the police ever came.

I took in a deep breath unlocking the basement door and flicking on the light. “Why are we going down here?”

“Uh cause this is my room.” I answered jumping the last few steps. I walked over to my night stand quickly before Louis came down and took out and drugs I had in their stuffing them into my bag.

“You live down here?!” I turned around to see Louis looking around his eyes wide and mouth slightly open.

“Yeah.” I shrugged pulling out my duffle bag and throwing it on my bed. I opened my dresser drawers and took any clothes I had in it and threw it in my bag. “Alright done.”

“That’s it?” Louis looked at my bag crossing his arms. I looked down at it and replied with a yes. “That’s like 3 pairs of jeans, a few t-shirts and a dress, we’re going shopping.”

“No it’s fi-“

“We’re going shopping.” He replied defiantly and I was a bit taken back by his aggressive tone. “I promise, it’ll be fun.” He added on with a little grin.

I sighed giving in. He grabbed my bag for me after I packed all of my other stuff… my uncle was in for a surprise when he came back…

**

We went to downtown London to a store called TopShop, it seemed exspensive. I walked in and looked at one of the shirts, holy shit.

“Louis this is way too much money to pay for clothes, let’s just go to a thrift shop.” I told him biting my lip. He waved his hand off and began to pick stuff off the rack.

He was in his own little world picking up shirts and pants, holding them up to my body and smiling and adding it to the pile.

“Uh I have to go to the bathroom.” I said to Louis.

“Alright, meet me by the shoes! Don’t run off!” He winked walking off towards the shoes.

I walked towards the bathroom which happened to be right next to the exit. If I paid attention the strip club was right down the street a few blocks, I could make it.

Oh Louis, silly, silly, Louis.

I smiled as I ran out of the store and down the street weaving through all the people on their way to work.

Louis’ P.O.V.

I tapped my foot impatiently as I waited for Abigail. I know girls take long to go to the bathroom but 20 minutes?

I walked towards the bathroom and bumped into a woman who had just walked out. “Uh excuse me, is there anyone else in there?”

“Oh no, sorry love.” She smiled sweetly before making her way past me. I groaned taking out my phone and dialed Niall’s number.

“Aye  mate! You guys coming back soon?” He asked laughter in the background.

“Uh yeah about that…. Abigail kind of uhm ran off?” I told him scratching the back of my neck.

“HOW COULD YOU LET THAT HAPPEN!?” He screamed and I pulled the phone away from my ear.

“I’ll find her don’t worry!”

“Damn right you will Louis!” He growled and then there was a click. I sighed and slid down the wall resting my head in between my knees.

Now where could she be? She’s a 16 year old girl… well physically mentally she acts older than me.

I stood up and quickly checked out heading to the car and throwing the things in the back. Maybe I’ll go back to the flat and have the boys help me… I can’t find her by myself.

I tapped the steering wheel nervously as I drove down the streets of London glancing everywhere hoping to see her, no prevail.

Way to soon I was in the flat building parking lot. I slowly got out grabbing the bags from the trunk and heading upstairs.

I fumbled with the key finally getting it and pushing it open. “DID YOU FIND HER?!” Niall shouted at me as soon as I walked into the room.

“N-“

“No?! I told you to find her!” He screamed walking up to me and grabbing my shirt collar. He pushed me up against the wall panting heavily in my face.

“I want you guys to help me. I-I don’t know where she’d be.” I sputtered out nervously as his eyes burned into mine.

“Ni, calm down.” Harry said pulling on Niall’s shoulder. Niall slowly let go of me backing up and falling onto the couch running his hands over his face.

“I’m sorry Louis… this girl just… she makes me so nervous and worried I don’t even know what to do about her. We let her out for one afternoon to do something for her and she runs off!” He huffs looking up at me.

“We will find her… and anyway she’s a big girl she can handle herself.” I told him walking up to him and patting the top of his head.

“Who’s a big girl?” I turned around to see Abigail leaning against the door frame.

“Where were you?!” Niall shouted quickly standing up.

“I had something to do… don’t worry, I’m here aren’t I?” She sneered crossing her arms.

“Abigail, where were you?” He asked slowly, pronouncing each word.

“I said don’t worry about it.” She replied in the same tone narrowing her eyes at the boy.

“How did you get back here?” I asked genuinely curious.

“I took a cab.”

“Where did you get the money for it?” I questioned her and she just shrugged walking in and shutting the door. I looked over at Niall and he just let out a deep breath squeezing his eyes shut.

“Whatever, we’ll talk about it later… we need to go down to the school okay?” She turned around and rolled her eyes at him. What got into her…

“Whatever.” She picked up her bag again throwing it over her shoulder walking out of the flat Niall following slowly behind her.

Once the door was shut Harry let out a bark of laughter. “What’s so funny?”

“This girl. She’s the typical teenage girl… you guys think just because she’s done all this stuff she isn’t still a teenager, you guys see her as an adult. That right there, was a typical teenage girl who’s time of the month just came around… my sister was just like that.” Harry chuckled falling onto the love seat.

“Oh… well Niall’s the one who took her on… she’s his responsibility.” I shrugged walking over and sitting next to Harry. He threw his arm around me as I leaned my head on his shoulder.

“They’re going to be gone for a while boo.” He mumbled looking over at me.

“Perfect.”
