Maura was not in a good mood when she arrived home. She immediately yelled to get his ass downstairs. Niall, who had been startled out of his sleep, groaned and yelled at his mum to go away.

Wrong decision.

Maura screeched and came running up the stairs. "What did you yell at me, boy?" She stalked over to Niall's bed, grabbed him by the shirt, and slapped him across the face.

Niall cried out in pain. "Mum!" He whispered harshly. He was too scared to speak loudly.

"You don't speak to your mother like that, boy!" She yelled at him. She slapped him across the other cheek. Niall wanted to cry out, to let the tears fall down his cheeks, but he knew that if he did, he would get a lot more.

Niall said nothing as his mother beat him down. He knew that this might be hit. His mother had never hit him this hard. Niall wanted so badly for liam to be there. He wanted Liam to hold him and say that everything would be alright.

It felt like hours later that Maura finally left the room. Niall lay on his floor, curled in a small ball. blood leaked from his nose. Shakily, Niall reached for his phone, which was on top of his nightstand.

it took far too much effort for niall to dial Liam's number into the phone. He pressed send slowly. He lifted the phone to his ear. It rang three times before someone answered.

"Niall?" Liam muttered urgently into the phone. "Are you alright, babe?"

"LiLi," Niall whispered. "LiLi, come help me." Tears streamed down his face.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Liam asked with the same tone. "Where are you?"

"Back home. LiLi, it hurts. Please help me," Niall cried.

"Niall, I'm in Paris, love. What happened?" Liam asked softly.

"Mummy hurt me. It hurts, LiLi. Help." Black spots danced across Niall's vision.

"I'll be there as soon as possible," Liam said quickly. "Hang on for me!"

Liam ran to Paul and demanded the use of their private jet. The boys did have access to a private jet, but only for emergencies. Liam really didn't want to have to explain to Paul the problem he was in, but he was afraid he would have to.

"Paul, I need to use the jet," he demanded, panting. "Now, please. Isn't it always on standby?"

Paul looked at him skeptically. "Why? What's the emergency?"

Liam bit his lip. He didn't want to explain, but he knew he would have to. "A guy I like, he just called me. He was crying and he sounded really hurt. He kept asking for me. I have to go, Paul!" He was frantic. He didn't know what kind of trouble Niall was in, but it sounded like it was serious. He needed to get to the boy.

"Okay," Paul finally relented. "C'mon, I'll drive you to the plane."

As they walked toward the car, Liam tried to call Niall back. At the fifth ring, when Liam was almost ready to give up, he answered.

"LiLi?" he whispered into the phone. "It hurts. Where are you?" A sob fell from Niall's lips. Liam almost sobbed himself.

"Ni, babe, I need you to tell me your address, okay? So I can find you when I get there, okay? Can you hang on for me? It'll probably be an hour and a half before I get there. I'm getting on the plane now, love."

"Please hurry, LiLi," Niall sobbed. "Everything hurts."

A tear slipped down Liam's cheek. "I'm coming, baby. Can you give me your address?"

Niall slowly whispered his address.

"I'm coming, baby. Hold on for me," Liam murmured back. Niall sobbed once more and hung up the phone.

"Do you need me to come with you?" Paul asked as he walked Liam to the jet. "I've already explained to the pilot that you're going back to London. You know how to get there from the airport, right?"

"I think I've got this handled. We've still got cars at the airport, right?" Paul nodded. "I think I've got it. I just hope I'll get there soon."

"Good luck, Liam." Paul playfully saluted him as Liam climbed on the plane. A flight attendent came and shut the door behind him.

"To London, Mr Payne?" She asked. Liam jsut nodded and walked over to a seat.

"Please, wake me up before we land," he asked before settling into th seat. The pressure of the concert just a few hours earlier caught up to him, and Liam fell into a deep sleep.

-

Once he was off the plane, Liam found where their vans were parked and drove as quickly as possible to the address Niall had given him. He hoped that it was too late for the police to be watching him.

Liam shaved what was supposed to be an hour drive to Niall's down to a half hour. All he did was hope that Niall was still okay. He needed his Niall to be okay.

Liam parked out front of Niall's house and walked quickly up to the front door. He banged on it. "Niall? Niall, let me in!"

A few knocks later, a woman opened the door. "What do you want? It's ten at night!"

"I need to see Niall!" Liam demanded urgently. "Where is he?"

The woman laughed. "Why would you want to see that shit?"

Liam just rolled his eyes and shoved past the woman toward the stairs. He could hear her shouting behind him, but the words meant nothing. All liam could think was Niall Niall Niall.

"Niall?" Liam called as he walked upstairs. He opened the first door at the top of the stairs. It was obviously niall's bedroom. "Ni? Baby?" His voice was softed as he walked into the room. Liam shut the door behind him.

"LiLi?" Niall whimpered back. Liam found his boy laying on the floor, curled into a ball. "You did come."

"I'm here, baby," Liam murmured. He gathered niall up into his arms. "I'm going to call an ambulance okay? I'll be right here the entire time."

"I'm sleepy, LiLi," Niall said in the same soft tone. Liam leaned down and gave him a small kiss.

"You can't sleep, love." Liam dialed 911 on his phone. He told them of the situation and hung up. "Stay awake with me, love. You can do it."

Niall just hummed and looked up at Liam's eyes. They stayed like that until the ambulance came.
