Bad Boys, Sarcasm and Emotions // Nate Maloley

Chapter 7 ~ Pain

Suddenly, a harsh force pressed against my face, shocking me I jumped back. Then again but this time much harder.
The slapping stopped and soon became punching. Each becoming worse as my face turned dark like my heart. Crystal tears stroked my face almost as if to comfort me. How come that sounds so beautiful; this was far from beautiful?

Spinning my body around so I was no longer on the wall, I began to stumble backwards, falling over tables and chairs.
He just kept walking, he was coming towards me. My first thought was to turn and run; that's what I did.
Pushing through all the bodies, I caught the others standing by the bar still but I couldn't stop incase he caught up with me. I needed air. Witnessing a small opening through the people, I sped to the door. Squeezing past bodies, I didn't turn around, not even a glance.

Taking a deep breath of air, I stopped before continuing to run to my apartment. I heard some voices and something or someone grabbed my arm.

"Dani, are you okay?" It was Sammy, he scrunched up his face as he saw tears sliding down my exhausted face and red marks all over. They must have been getting some air too.

As I didn't speak, he began to shake me, then shout at me.

"DANI"

"DANIELLE"

I just looked straight past him as tears continued to float down. My body grew lifeless and my fists were still clenched. It was as if my voice box was paralysed, I wanted to talk, didn't I?

"NATE, go and get Lauren and Cara" He screamed without even turning around, his eyes were locked in me.

"Got it" Nate grew worried and sprinted back inside.

*Nate's POV*

Sammy was shaking her as she just stood there, crying.

I texted Jack and Jack whilst running inside to find Cara and Lauren.
Grabbing their shoulders I spoke extremely fast.

"Hurry, come on. You need to come now, it's Dani" I blurted and they started bombarding me with questions but I ignored them, attempting to just get to Danielle.

Cara: What's wrong?

Lauren: Where is she?

Cara: NATE

Lauren: Is she okay?

Cara: What happened?

Lauren: When was this?

They both ran next to me until they stopped after seeing Sammy.

"Sammy?" Lauren questioned his presence.

"She left, I tried to stop her but she ran off. Think she went to yours, go"

"Come with us, we may need your help" Cara signalled for us to come with them.

"Well, is she okay?" Jack look worried even though they practically 'hated' each other.

"Duh, of course she isn't" Lauren scowled before heading back to the apartment.

*Cara's POV*

Omg, what has happened? Sammy literally has gave us nothing to go on so for all we know, she could be dead.
We needed the boys just incase we had to split up.

Me and Lauren had emergency flats in our bags so we swapped shoes from our heels, quickly.
Sammy, Jack, Jack and Nate ran on ahead as we looked around but we were all heading in the same direction which was our apartment.

Opening the main door, we ran up to floor 5. The boys were running up the stairs faster than I have ever seen them run. Me and Lauren soon caught up though and pushed past them to our room. Our feet were thudding along the floor until we stopped at the door.

*Lauren's POV*

I pushed past them to get to the door so I could unlock it. I wanted to be there for her and I don't think she would listen if the boys were in here.

Unlocking the door, I slid in and turned on the lights. Her shoes were here so I assumed she was in.

"DANIELLE?! WHERE ARE YOU?" I screamed and looked in the bathroom.

Cara jumped in behind me and we searched the first few rooms.
Soon, we got to the bedroom and the door was shut. I placed my ear against the door and I heard nothing until a faint sniffle escaped. Immediately, I barged in and there she was. Dani was sat on the bed against the wall with her legs scrunched into her chest and her head resting on her knees.

"Oh my god, Dani" Cara covered her mouth because Danielle is the happy one, always smiling, never crying.

"Are you okay? What happened?" I climbed on the bed and sat next to her. Cara hopped on the other side.

Sammy had burst through the door and he was leaning on the door frame with his arms folded.

"Dani, what happened? You need to speak to us" Sammy spoke sternly.

Hey, so this was quite dramatic but I'm still deciding the main plot. Not sure on this chapter because I had to sort of split it in two. Thank you💜
