-Niall's POV-

I was in the backyard, grabbing an orange juice for Jasmine. As I was walking back into the house, I spotted a few friends.

I stopped to talk to them for a few minutes, just catching up. Then I walked back in to find Jasmine. She would be so mad at me if I left her again, and I didn't want her to be upset.

As I scanned the living room, I saw that Jasmine was nowhere to be seen. Maybe she was still in the bathroom. I waited around for a minute, before feeling something in my chest. She wouldn't just disappear on me.

I walked around the house, trying to catch a glimpse of Jasmine. When I couldn't find her, I went to Harry.

"Hey mate,"Harry said, stepping aside from the woman he was talking to.

"Do you know where Jasmine is?"I asked.

Harry furrowed his brows. "No.. She was with you the whole time."

I ran a hand through my hair. "Yeah, but I left her for a second to get her a drink while we went to the bathroom and now I can't find her."

"Let's look upstairs. I'll help,"Harry said.

We both walked up the stairs and started opening random doors. Nothing.

The last door I checked was locked. "Hey, Harry, is this Kendall's room?"I asked.

Harry walked over as he said,"No, hers is in the back."

"Oh, it's locked,"I mumbled. I held my ear to the door in an attempt to hear something. I heard weird sounds, like someone groaning, and my heart sped up.

"Harry, we have to open this door. Now,"I said quickly.

"We'll have to find Kendall and get the key,"he replied.

I shook my head. "No, there's no time."

I heard a laugh from the other side of the door. Harry heard it too. "We need to break the door,"he said.

I immediately started pushing my shoulder into the door, as hard as I could. Harry joined me, and quickly the door sprung open.

I hurried inside and my heart dropped at the scene.

Jasmine was laying on the bed, her dress ridden up with her bottom half completely exposed, and the window was open. No one else was in the room.

I rushed up to Jasmine. "Jas,"I whispered, barely able to get my voice out.

Harry joined me beside her. "Niall, look..."he mumbled, pointing to her thighs. Her outer and inner thighs were covered in bruises. He held two fingers to her neck and was quiet for a few seconds. Then he held his ear to her mouth, listening. "She's breathing,"he said.

I felt relief but also anger as I pulled her dress down to cover her. "Who the fuck did this?"

Harry walked over to the open window and looked out. "I don't see anyone... They must've jumped."

Tears filled my eyes as I looked at Jasmine just laying there. "I should take her to the hospital,"I said quietly.

Harry replied,"Or we can call the ambulance."

I nodded, starting to pull out my phone. But as I glanced over at Jasmine, I saw her eyes fluttering open.

I quickly rushed over to her. "Angel, it's me,"I whispered. Harry stood beside me.

Jasmine looked up at me with glossy eyes before she sat up quickly, looking around. She was breathing shakily.

I put my hand on her shoulder. She immediately flinched, pushing me away as she avoided my eyes.
