Belle ‼️
I woke up so sore. My bones felt like they was breaking, and my legs and arms felt so heavy. I managed to get up out of bed, when I went to the bathroom and flicked on the lights I let out a squeal. No way I could cover this. It was simply impossible. I scrambled for my make up, after washing my face. The rim of my eye was slightly black, and my lip looked a little busted. My collarbone looked bruised as well. My upper arms close to my shoulder was a purplish black. A large bruised was formed on my jaw.

I only had a little bit of foundation left, I went ahead and covered the rim of my eye and my collarbone. The bruise looked a little faded out, but it was still there. After applying foundation, my shaky hands went for the powder. I applied powder and decided to apply a dark look today just in case.

I straightened my hair, and applied lip gloss to kinda hide the cut. It stung at first but I had to ignore it. I slipped on a baggy long sleeve shirt, and some jeans. As I slipped the jeans on I noticed something sickening, something that made my stomach churn. I felt sick as I studied the bruises on the inside of my thighs.

I slipped on the jeans, and converses and headed out.

The glass still laid on the carpet and in the kitchen floor, I could see the small fragments from the way the light hit it. I exited the home, and headed for my car but to my surprise when I walked out of my home I saw a familiar SUV drive by, and it stopped in front of me.

Thank god Noah went to work. If he saw Niall picking me up he would have a cow. He quickly got out, and jogged over to the passenger seat, opening the door for me. I slid inside and he made sure I was out of the way before he slammed the door shut. He was soon in the SUV also. He pulled out and begin to drive, his eyes studied every inch of me.

"You're hurt? He hit you again didn't he?" He frantically looked from the road to me and then back to the road.

"Niall," I spoke, "He didn't just hit me.. He beat me, I need.. I need out of there but he won't let me go.."

I shook my head holding back the tears, I never admitted it to anyone like that. I didn't know if trusting Niall was right, I didn't know if he could save me but I hoped and prayed.

"Don't go back there..," he pulled into a empty parking lot owned by a local mart that was out of business. He parked the SUV and slammed his fist into the steering wheel causing the horn to go off. "I can't believe it! I let that dick go!"

"What?"

His face was red and flushed, his fist was clenched and he looked so upset.

"I should've laid him out the moment I had the chance..," his eyes met mine, his eyes was a darker shade of blue he looked furious, "We're not going to work.." He put the SUV in drive and pulled out of the empty parking lot.

The local mart went out of business a couple of months ago, their parking lot is always empty and if it isn't it's normally filled with teens having sex or either making out in their cars. I never been in their parking lot. It's minutes away from my place.

"What?! No," I shook my head, "We have to go to work!"

I watched as he drove down the road taking a unfamiliar turn. I looked back as the road to work became out of my sights.

"I'm taking you back to my place, I'm going to check you out and then you're going to take a shower.. then you're going to get some sleep.. Cliff isn't going to be at the shop until tomorrow," his eyes don't leave the road as he talks, "I'm not letting him take you home, I refuse to."

Fear coursed through my body. He couldn't actually believe that - that idea would work?

My mind wandered to the dream I had, my heart swelled and my stomach erupted with butterflies so quick that I thought I was going to puke. I studied the side of his face.
