-- 1 week & 3 days since murder --

Belle ‼️
He's kept his distance, he barely calls anymore. I've cried every night. I've spent the nights with my mother and no she don't know Niall is the murderer but everyone knows about Noah's death. Everyone's apologizing to me and I have to fake being upset. My mother hasn't left my side.

We're sitting on the couch when the doorbell rings, I stand and my mother watches me as I open the door. A large framed man in uniform stands in the doorway.

"Yes.. Are you Belle?" He asked me, another man in uniform stands behind him staring at me. I nod.

"Yes," I smile up at them, "May I help you?"

"We've been notified that you're the girlfriend to a Niall Horan, and he's been arrested for the murder of the victim.." He said, the other man stepped inside of the house and my mother bolted to her feet in clear shock.

Time for the alligator tears.

"What?!" I begin to think about Niall, and every bad thing that ever happened to us. Tears ran down my face.

"Ma'am we just want to take you in for some questioning.."

---

I sat in the interrogation room, the chair was hard and metal and the table was too. I sat there in silence waiting for one of the men to step inside. I couldn't get Niall out of my head. It's official, he's arrested.

I heard the door open then slam shut. I soon saw one of the men in front of me. He sat down, and he noticed the tears that stained my cheek.

"I can't imagine how hard this is for you.. I'm sorry," the man apologized. He was bald, and he had a hard face.

I remained silent.

"A week and three days ago.. Your known ex - boyfriend Noah was murdered.. We found out that the murderer is your current boyfriend.. Can you -"

"Yes," I told him, "Me and Noah was not stable," cue the fake tears, I wiped the tears, "He'd beat me every night. He'd threaten me and my family, he would slap and beat me.. Sometimes it would get so bad that he would take advantage of me.."

I lied about my family, but the rest was true.

"He'd rape me," I said dramatically, he furrowed his eyebrow in pity. "It was terrible.." I wiped the fake tears and sobbed.

"I'm working at a local record shop.. That's where I first met Niall," I told the man. "Noah came in that night and he acted slightly aggressive.."

"And Niall witnessed this?" The man asked, clicking the pen and writing on the notepad.

"Yes," I told him, "Me and Niall started talking more and more, during that though Noah beat me more and more and it got worse and finally Niall found out .."

---
I told them the story, I lied on some parts and then the others I told the truth. It depended. I asked them to drive me to where I could see him, they complied. They took me to the jail where you could visit but where Niall commited a murder I could only speak to him behind a glass and through a phone.

I sat in the chair and waited for him to show up in a bright orange jumper. I scooted in a little more hiding myself, I chewed on my bottom lip.

That's when he plopped down in the metal chair. I ripped the phone off of the wall and pressed it to my ear, this is the first that I saw him in a week and three days. He smiled at me, he pressed the phone to his ear.

"Niall!" I gushed, crying. My fingertips touched the glass.

His blonde hair laid down to the side, his bright blue eyes darkened and he smiled. He brought his left eye down in a wink.

"Oh my god," I cried.

"Listen to me," his thick accent made my heart flutter, a overwhelming feeling flooded through me, "I'll be out soon.. I promise you.. Wait for me.. Okay?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

I nodded. "I promise.. How long though?" I choked up a sob.

"Don't worry about time, baby.." He pressed his fingertips to the glass. "I need you to listen to me though. I need you to be calm.." He told me.

I prepared myself.

"You remember when I told you about my mum? And my dad?"

I nodded. I studied his beautiful features, at the same time my heart was shattering into my chest.

"My dad didn't die in a car accident.." He told me, staring into my eyes through the thick glass, "He use to beat my mum.."

My lips parted. "What are you trying to say Niall?" Tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Belle," he leaned in, "My dad didn't die in a car accident.. I killed him..," I gasped, "Why do you think I moved from my hometown?"

I couldn't think clearly.

"I did it to protect her.." He told me, smiling a little.

"One more minute!" I heard one of the police officers yell, warning the convicts to finish their visits.

"I'll get out. And I'll come for you... I promise," a police officer came to him, as I sat in shock.

The police officer shoved his hands behind his back and hand cuffed him, the phone slipped out of my hand and hit the metal like desk. His eyes stared into mine as the police officer pulled Niall away.

Oh my god..
