Putting Together the Puzzle: A Dark Niall Horan FanFiction

Chapter 12

"Are the handcuffs really nessecary?" Niall pulls at the handcuffs that keeps him attached to the metal piping that runs along the cold stone wall. I sit across from him, facing him with my own hands cuffed.

"I remember all the shit you used to pull Niall." The strange man paces in front of us. "Now if you would shut up I never got to formally introduce myself." He kneels in front of me, resting his hand on my knee.

I look over at Niall to see his jaw tense and he looks up at me with apologetic eyes. I quickly look away not wanting anything to do with him at the moment.

"I am Wilder." He gives me a nasty smirk and I just cringe. "Niall and I go way back."

"Charlie anything he says I want you to understand that was the old me." Niall sighs, holding his eyes shut.

"Awe isn't that cute." Wilder smiles, his teeth are tinted yellow. "Well if we are going to talk about the past then we shall." He stands, slowly pacing again with his hands behind his back. He looks worn, as if he is sleep deprived and I am surprised he is still standing. He walks with a slight limp, leaning into his left leg. "Niall used to work for me and I imagine he has already told you doing what, seeing that ring on your finger."

Wilder looks at me for a moment, hesitating before he continues, grinning at Niall. "Niall was my top dog. He sold the stuff and he did the stuff."

"I know you think this is going to effect me but it won't" I grind my teeth, the anger of the whole situation building up inside of me.

"Wilder just tell me why the fuck you decided to kidnapped us?" Niall scuffs. "And would you just take off these fucking handcuffs."

"God you are such a baby." Wilder walks over to me, and unlocks my handcuffs and I rub my wrist in relief.

"I am leaving." I stand up before Wilder unlocks Niall's handcuffs.

"Charlie wait." Niall gesutres for Wilder to uncuff him but Wilder just laughs. "Don't leave."

"I am not going to be a part of these dumb games Niall." I shake my head in disgust. "You told me you said everything from your past but here we are!"

I am so frustrated with everything that is happening. Niall was supposed to be the person I felt safe with but here we are, formally handcuff by a stranger.

"I could tell you some stories about Niall if you would like?" Wilder chuckles, leaving Niall in cuffs as he makes his way over to me. "The drugs he took, what he did while he was on those drugs, the girls he fucked while he was on those drugs."

"Get the fuck away from her." Niall hisses and I just step back from Wilder, his hot breath running down my neck.

"Ingrid was his favorite." Wilder whispers in my ear, circling me. "If they weren't fucking they were smoking or snortting something."

"Wilder shut your fucking mouth." Niall pipes up but I refuse to look at him. All the anger that I left behind when he told me everything before is being to slowly creep back.

"There love was one like Kurt and Courtney." Wilder's voice is somber and mysterious. It gives me chills along with his brooding demeanor. "I am surprised they survived."

"Get the hell away from me." I push Wilder away, storming out the door before Niall has a chance to rebuttle.

NIALL'S P.O.V.

"Let me out of these fucking handcuffs Wilder, I swear to god." I tug at the cuffs as the door slams behind Charlie.

"If I uncuff you, you will run after her." Wilder begins to pace again.

"Of course I am going to fucking run after her she is my fiancé!" I spit at him and he just smiles.

"I am going to keep you there because I love to watch you struggle." He smooths back his already greasey hair as he taunts me with the small key in his other hand.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" Charlie has probably called someone to pick her up already and I am stuck in this fucking room in the middle of god knows where when I should be out with her. "I paid all my dues, I did everything you asked. I am done with all this shit."

"You were never done Niall. You can never be done in this buisness." He sits in the chair across from mine. He rests his elbows on his knees leaning forward.

"But I am done you fucker." I spit. "I have a better life now and I wouldn't give it up for anything."

"You keep thinking that Niall." Wilder takes the keys and begins to unlock my cuffs when he stops for a moment. "Everyone is getting together tonight if you want to come. The usual place."

He unlocks my cuffs and I quickly rip from my chair, running out to where Charlie waits in the cold for someone to get her.

"Charlie!" I run up to her, hugging her but she doesnt hug back. "I am so sorry about all of this. I didn't know it was going to happen. Someone must of told him I was back in town."

"Niall I am over it." She pushes me away and I can feel the hurt pluse through me.

"Charlie please, this isn't my fault." I give her a look of guilt but she just looks away.

"I am going to stay with Iris at the hotel." Her face is emotionless and I try to search every feature she has for some sort of response.

Nothing.

"Charlie please."

"I can't deal with the stress of your past. Not now." She shakes her head. Liam pulls up in a rental car but doesn't get out thank god. "I will call you tomorrow."

"Charlie please just come home with me." I beg.

"Will you just give me some space." She looks at me as if she might cry so I step back.

She opens the car door, but hesitates a moment before getting in, "Know that I love you."

I watch as she drives off, leaving me behind.

"So you coming then?" Wilder appears behind me, resting his hand on my shoulder.
