Forgotten Love (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Chapter 12

Mia

Last night, wrapped in Niall's arms, I had the best sleep ever. It was incredible. It was like nothing could wake me up cause I knew I was safe and while I was asleep nothing could hurt me. It was because I had Niall, because I trusted him.

"Mia", Niall called causing me to jump, "we have an interview so i'll have to drop you home."

I sighed not knowing how to reply to that.

"is that alright with you?" Niall asked jogging towards me.

"yeah of course it is," I lied.

"you sure because I co-"

"Niall I'm fine" I cut him off.

"sorry" he apologized.

"don't worry about it. I have school tomorrow anyways." I mumbled.

"Niall could you come upstairs please"I heard liam yell.

"i'll be back love" Niall kissed my forehead and reluctantly walked upstairs.

Leaving me on the tangerine colored sofa to think. I had school tomorrow and the day after, before school ended and I was free.

I was excited about the holidays when I remembered dad was coming back tomorrow. I sighed loudly realizing what that meant. All my scars and bruises just healed and now they were going to reappear. A memory of father hitting me flashed through my mind, sending shivers down my spine.

I was praying that his plane got delayed or something, but I knew, the service he was with, made it highly impossible for the plane to be delayed.

"Love let's go" Harry gestured standing by the door.

"But Niall..."I mumbled.

"I'm dropping you. His got something to do." he said flashing me his dimpled smile.

I walked over towards the door before being guided by Harry to the car. He opened the door for me and got in himself.

The entire car ride was filled with small talk and getting to know each other better. It made me closer to him. I didn't trust him fully and I told him that. He just replied with a simple 'I understand' leaving me confused, adding 'I'm going to work on the trust thing'. I didn't stop him because I knew some part of me wanted to trust him. I wanted to grow close to him, making him like a brother I never had.

---------------------------------------------------------

"thank you for the car ride Harry" I said nodding.

"No problem, anytime beautiful" Harry winked, before his phone started playing a melody informing him he had a call. He waved at me before driving away.

I walked up to my lemon colored house, taking out the gold keys and inserting them in the keyhole. The door opened before I could turn the keys. I was confused. But that soon changed when I saw what had caused the strange action.

There in front of me was the one person I dreaded to see right now.

My father...

He stood there in a suit, with his tie closely hanging from his neck. He had a bruise on his left cheek and scratches on his knuckles. The scratches looked fresh but the bruise looked old.

I started to question myself if he had even gone on a business trip or it was all an act.

"WHERE WERE YOU GONE" he shouted coming close to me.

Thinking he was going to hit me I covered my face with my hand.

Instead of hearing a loud slap or yelling I heard a loud bang. I slowly uncovered my face and noticed he had closed the door.
