Niall

The interview we went to was unexpected because we were on holidays. But we did it anyways to ensure the fans we were safe and to clear off some rumors.

Like usual the interviewer did ask the million dollar question about who was single and I had to say 'yes' to that.

I didn't want Mia to be bombarded with hate yet because she had been through a lot and I didn't want more pressure to add to her.

When Mia asked me about making it official I had to make an excuse to say 'no' because I wanted to keep Mia safe. I didn't want her to break down because seeing her cry would hurt me.

What I was doing was for Mia's good and I hope she understood that.

"Hey Niall you ok?" Harry asked interrupting me from my thoughts.

"yeah...fine" I smiled.

He nodded then left.

Liam and Louis had gone to take Danielle and Eleanor out somewhere. Harry was going to see some old friends and Zayn went to visit a few relatives or something.

That left me alone on the sofa thinking about life and Mia...

I realized how much she'd changed me over the past couple of weeks.

She made her laugh become my addiction, her kiss my power and she was slowly becoming my weakness. 

I was slowly falling for her and her craziness and I knew it wouldn't be long before I became head over heels for the girl I met at a daisy field.

The thought made a smile appear on my face. I couldn't believe one trip to one of the biggest states in the world could change my fate. It was incredible.  

Life really was unexpected.

I shook out of my thought and decided to call Mia. I needed to hear her beautiful voice, to tell me she was ok.

I picked up my phone and tapped on the screen to find Mia's contact.

After a few seconds she finally picked up.

"hey beautiful"

"h-hi Niall" Mia stuttered.

There was something different in her voice. She sounded scared. Her voice trembled with every word she spoke.

"Are you alright? You sound a bit weird" I asked worried what her response might be.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine" she replied hesitantly.

She still had that thing in her voice. I couldn't put my finger on it but I knew for a fact something was wrong.

"are you sure? You know I could come over if you want"

"NO...don't do that" Mia replied quickly.

I was about to open my mouth when I heard a moan escape Mia's mouth like she was in pain.

"Mia I'm coming over and I'm not going to listen if you try and stop me" I answered before putting my phone in my pocket and leaving.

After about 10 minutes of driving I finally got to Mia's place.

I got out of the car and made my way to the door. I sighed before knocking. I looked up and saw stars were soon going to overtake the sun.

There was no answer the first time so I knocked again. This time Mia opened the door.

She was holding on to her stomach and her left cheek had a bruise. She wore jeans and a shirt that came three-quaters of the way.

"Mia w-what happened?" I asked.

"Nothing Niall. You should really go, I have school tomorrow and-"

"NO MIA I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. GOD DAMN IT IM YOUR BOYFRIEND TELL ME" I yelled making her flinch and take a step back.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." I pleaded.

Mia didn't say anything. Instead she pulled me inside and closed the door. She sat down on the sofa and made me sit down with her. Mia slowly lifted her peach colored jumper and showed me her stomach.

There was a green and purple imprint near her belly button. It looked fresh but I couldn't really tell.

I slowly traced my fingers over the bruise, careful not to hurt Mia. She flinched a bit when I traced the middle of the bruise making me pull my hand back. I carefully pulled her top down disgusted of the sight.

"w-who did this to you?" I whispered.

"my dad" she mumbled.

"what? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"he started abusing me when I turned 15 telling me my mothers death was my fault. He hit me every day for the past two years reminding me of that.

When I met you that day on the daisy field, it was because it had been exactly four years since my mother died and my father had hit me that day.

After that, a couple of days before you came to help me study, he'd left for a business trip and was suppose to come back tomorrow but came back a day early.

I guess when he came he found I wasn't here and when I arrived this morning he abused me because I left the house." Mia whispered with her head down.

I lifted her chin so her gorgeous brown eyes met mine. Her eyes were red and clearly sore from crying. Her nose was red and she was sniffing.

Her eyes were on me the entire time when I noticed something on her left wrist. Her left wrist had a scratch on it. No...It wasn't a scratch. It was a cut.

I took my eyes of Mia's graze and slowly picked her left arm. She tried to stop me but she was too weak. I lifted her jumper and was praying it wasn't what I thought it was.

Carefully lifting the sleeve, I realized there was no point on praying because in front of me was exactly what I was hoping wouldn't be there.

There were cuts...

"m-mia you...why?" I tried to speak but the words were stuck in my throat.

She didn't say anything.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I just found out the person that I was falling for, puts a fake smile on her flawless face everyday and tells everyone that her life is perfect. When really she was going through hell nearly everyday.

So I did something I should've never done. I got up and left.

Tears streamed down my face as I walked through the American wind not realizing what I just did. Only one thing was on my mind the entire time.

I think I might be falling in love with Mia...
