Belle ‼️
My eyes fluttered open, I was in the air and I felt a large pair of arms wrapped around me. I was held bridal style, I felt my eye lids becoming more and more heavy, they drifted shut.

---
It seemed to be a second later, my vision was slightly blurry. I took in steady breaths, as I looked up at the ceiling. I watched a face come down to mine, I felt a pair of lips to mine. I couldn't move, I felt so incredibly weak that I couldn't even mutter a word.

---
"Shh," I heard a cracked voice, I felt a hand brush my hair back away from my forehead, I took in a sharp breath.

Am I dead?

"Shh," the voice shushed, "It's okay.. You're okay.. I got you.."

I smelled a familiar scent, the person leaned down pressing a soft kiss to my forehead.

---
My eyes fluttered open, I was drenched in sweat and I felt light headed. I turned my head and my eyes landed on his face, confused I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Hey there," he spoke softly, bright blue oceanic pools staring at my face. "You okay?"

I swallowed, and looked back up at the ceiling. I processed what just had happened. Noah tried to kill me, but how did I end up in Niall's bed?

"When I got to the shop.. I saw him over you..," he spoke, I couldn't look at him. "I ran as fast as I could," his voice broke and he let out a shaky breath.

"I..I tackled him off of you, and you was umm,"

I snapped my head toward him, not being able to speak.

"You was unconscious, and I .. I brought you back here.."

I didn't understand because it all hit me at once. Noah pulling up, and chasing me around the parking lot. It hit me, he stood over me choking me. The picture of his cold brown eyes, and his face turning a flushed red.

I had a pounding migraine. I felt sick, and weak.

"How did I?," I looked at Niall, "Niall?" I gushed tears forming in my eyes. "What happened?!"

He tried to kill me, I now knew that I wasn't safe and that his full intentions was to get rid of me. I underestimated the statement, "If I can't have you no one can" because he wasn't going to kill the boy that I left him for, he was going to kill me.

Hot tears streamed down my face as I raised up, I wanted comfort.

I raised my arms up, like a child wanting attention. Niall sat on the edge of the bed, he sighed and scooted closer to me where he took me in his embrace. His arms wrapped around my waste, his head in the crook of my neck.

"Niall!" I sobbed, afraid and confused.

"Shh," he shushed me. "I.. I'm so sorry.." He breathed into my neck.

I couldn't think clearly, I was almost killed by my ex boyfriend and Niall, whatever he is, saved me just in time.

I needed to hear it. For someone to explain. "He tried to kill you," Niall said lowly into my neck. "You're not safe.."

I squirmed, I didn't like his words. I laid in his bed, in his arms as I rested my head in the crook of his neck. His arms remained around me. I swallowed.

"Niall.." I cried, "Why was you late?" I sobbed.

I felt his breath hitch, shocked by my question. He pulled away, his beautiful blue eyes scanning my face. Pain and anger filled the large blue pools, he clenched his jaw.

"He's never going to hurt you again," he promised. "I promise."

I already heard that, but he did hurt me again and I wasn't safe.

"Niall," I cried. "He's been inside of my house.." Tears rolled down my cheeks as his face fell flat.

"What?" His eyes turned cold like ice and he held me under his gaze.

"He.. He came into my house, and he was in my room.."

Niall‼️
I had one job, and that was to protect her. But I couldn't do it, now could I?

"I'm so sorry," she told me, she was crying and she was afraid of me being upset.

I was so upset, I wanted to kill him. I wanted to choke the life out of him, I wanted to get back at him. I wanted to kill him. But I had her, and she needed me. For god sake, she almost died if I didn't run fast enough - she would be six feet under.

He would be too.

I cupped her cheek.

"We'll talk about this later," I told her softly, not wanting to send her panic attack into overdrive, "But right now.. We're going to lay.."

She nodded, her eyes staring into mine. I watched as she scooted over, her eyes never left mine. She laid her back down, and looked up at the ceiling. I toed my shoes off, and kicked them across the room. I peeled my shirt off, feeling hot. I threw it to the floor leaving a pool of white, and I slipped my jeans down my legs revealing my black boxers that clung to my waist.

I threw my blue jeans with my white top, I turned and laid next to her. I rested my forearm above her head, and hovered over her slightly.

"Niall," she spoke as I studied her face carefully, my nose brushed hers and her eyes darted and stared into mine. "Are we working to-"

"No," I interrupted. "We're not working tomorrow. I.. I can't think clearly," I admitted.

I knew I had to maintain it until I saw him again. I had to be patient or I would unleash the monster again and I couldn't let that happen. But god knows, I would and god help him.

"Niall-"

"Belle," I shushed, "Let's go to sleep.."

I pressed my warm body to hers, she was more covered than I was. I laid in nothing but my boxers, and she wore her t shirt and jeans. I fiddled with the buttons, and slipped the jeans down her leg. She did the rest, kicking her legs until the jeans fell off the bottom part of the bed and on to the floor.

She laid in her panties and a t shirt, I wrapped my arm around her. Pulling her close, her face inches from mine.

"Niall," she whimpers, "I'm afraid to sleep.."

I felt a twinge in my chest, I tightened the grip I had on her. She placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Why?" I asked lowly, my eyes never leaving hers.

Bruises formed around her throat, and once again I wanted to kill someone. I wasn't there for her, I wasn't there for her when she was younger -- I'm pathetic.

"I'm afraid that I'll see him.."

"You won't," I gushed pulling her close, my breath fanned her face. Her eyes darting to my lips. "I won't let it happen again."

I failed her, I let him hurt her again and god knows that I would've killed him right there. But Belle was losing more and more air, and I had to get her home. I told him I would be looking for him and that I had to get her away, I didn't have time to waste. So I picked her up, and ran back the SUV.

"Please.. don't leave me.." Tears begin to roll down her cheeks, my eyes shut trying to maintain my tears. She reminded me so much of my mother that it hurt.

"I won't," I cupped the back of her thigh, and threw her leg around me. "I won't leave you.."

I kissed her forehead, before she laid her head next to my chest. I took in the scent of her strawberry scented shampoo. I drifted off into deep slumber to her scent, and to her soft sounding breaths.
