Deception (N.H)

CHAPTER 7: NEW BEGINNINGS

Long pointy nails dug into my skin as I screamed out in pain. The smirk plastered on their faces made me even more nauseous than I was before. "You really think you meant something to him?!" She lets go of my arm but holds my face instead. "You are nothing. You will always be nothing." She spat in my face and gave me one last kick and walked away to the rest of the group.

"I can't believe I wasted my time with such a slut." His venomous voice sent chills all over my body. "Look at me bitch." He roughly grabs my hair and pulls it back so I'm looking at him. He chuckles and pulls my hair harder. "Maybe we should do something so you don't forget what you are." He turns his head to the rest of the group and smirks. "What do you guys think? Should we remind her what she is?" They all smirk and nod.

He lets go of my hair and pushes my head to the ground. He turns me on my back and lifts up my shirt to expose my bruised stomach. He takes the knife he was handed and smirks at me. "Guys, hold this piece of shit down."

3 pairs of arms hold me down while he begins to carve the word 'NOTHING' onto my skin. I scream from the pain and try to kick the arms holding me down. Blood drips down my sides and falls on the floor.

My eyes fly open and I jump up. My chest rises and falls at a rapid pace and sweat drips down my body. I look around frantically not recognising my surroundings. After a while, I realise I'm in a car but my breathing still doesn't slow down.

Suddenly a hand is placed on my shoulder, I jump from the contact. I look at the arm and look up to see it belongs to Niall. He has a look of worry and concern. "Are you okay?" He asked as I looked around to see Louis and Liam looking at me awaiting an answer along with Harry who's switching between looking at me and the road since he was driving.

I close my eyes and clench my fists. Two big hands are placed on top of mine. I snap my eyes open and look at the person. I stare into the same blue eyes and feel his hands squeeze mine. I take off my seatbelt and give him a hug.

It's an awkward position since we're in a car but Niall picks me up and places me on his lap so I am straddling him. He wraps his arms around me and I begin crying with my head pushed against his chest.

He rubs my back and begins whispering things in an attempt to calm me down. Finally my cries stop and my breathing begins to slow down. The rest of the car ride is silent.

After a while, I feel the car stop. I lift my head from Niall's chest and look out the window to see that we reached the hotel. I look back at Niall and realise where I'm sitting and awkwardly rush out of the car.

The boys get out of the car as well and we begin walking into the building. As we walk past the reception, we see the same lady who we checked into the hotel with. I roll my eyes when I see her staring at Niall and pick up my pace to the lift.

I'm soon joined by the boys and we walk into the hotel room. It's currently 12 AM so it's very dark. Harry turns on the lights and we all walk to the sitting room area. We sit in silence for a few seconds before Niall's stomach growls. We all let out a chuckle while he rolls his eyes and flips us off. I'm grateful that they aren't asking me about the incident in the car. For now, I hope we pretend like nothing happened. 

"The last time we ate anything was before we left for the arena which was like 6 hours ago." I smile and tie my hair up in a messy bun. "Would you like me to make you something to eat?" He looks at me and nods. "As long as you don't put any of your poison in it." I chuckle and shake my head. "Don't worry. You won't get any of that unless you get on my bad side."
