Abuse // 5sos (Book 1 & 2)

Chapter 1: Those Boys

He sat up and exhaled loudly, "I don't feel bad. I just don't think I should hit my girlfriend, especially after what those boys did to you."

*** (a.n. Emerald is 19 and Luke is 22 btw.)*********************************************

A energy drink stood at the end of my table while my brain was struggling to process the information written in the books.That my friend is college exams. 

"I want dinner." Luke walked in from his room and leaned against the wall.

"One second, let me finish," My fingers were aching and my pen was almost out of ink. Why did Luke have to be so demanding?

Sweat dripped down his face as he closed my textbook, "I'm hungry so go heat up dinner."

My anger subsided into stubborness, "No, can you not see I'm doing something?" 

He placed a rough finger underneath my chin and lifted it up, "I just came back from a concert. Mind you but that means lots of people. What have you been doing? That's right nothing. So get me food now."

"Studying is not nothing, not that you would know." It may have been rude to say that, but I was stressed and Luke wasn't helping. When has he ever? 

"Yeah so what if I didn't go to college? I am still more succesful than you will ever be." his eyes flared. It was amusing but frightening to see Luke upset, almost like when you're on a roller coaster.

"If Sea Breeze lifted me to the top, I'd be famous too Luke." I regretted it immediatlely after I said it because I did believe that because Luke was talented. (this is an au so one direction is not a band and a band called Sea Breeze discovered 5sos instead)

 He growled angrily and pushed me to the ground. My heart started to beat faster.

That is when he slapped me across the face.

His blue irises pierced into my brown ones. My lip started to quiver and tears formed near my waterline. He had never laid a hand on me before. My body was on fire. I was angry, hurt, confused and in pain all at once.

He loosed his grip on my body and pulled himself up. He then placed me on his bed. I could feel the soft memory foam positioning itself to fit my frame. 

"I'm really stressed. I didn't mean to do that. It won't happen again." He spoke in fragments of sentences, but not once did he say the word sorry. To him, sorry was a surrender word, and Luke never surrenders. He placed his fingers on my cheek, making me wince. 

"Why don't you say it? Just say sorry." I huffed. 

He sat up and exhaled loudly, "Sorry is when you feel bad about something. I don't feel bad. I just don't think I should hit my girlfriend, especially after what those boys did to you." He put his head in his hand and yawned, almost like he was disinterested in hurting me.

A lump formed in my throat and my eyes widened. He smiled with satisfaction, because he knew that he had hit me at my weakest spot.

Memory (1 1/2 years ago)

I had just gotten off the plane and with my one suitcase, I walked out of the airport relying on google maps to get me there. 

A man with dark brown hair, probably only 20, walked up to me. "Ma'am are you trying to get to go to Stanford University."

Without hesitating I replied, "Yes can you help me please."

He smiled, "Follow me,"

Another man walked next to the first one. He had blue eyes, blonde hair and braces, which made him seem young, though I suspected that he wasn't. 

"I have uh some errends to run, can you go show this girl where standford university is?" he nodded.

"What is your name?"

"I'm," he hesitated. "Andrew." 

If he wouldn't say his real name, neither would I, "I'm Nellie,"

"You're lying," and with that he wrapped his hand around my mouth. The first man came with three other friends who stood around me in a circle. 

I realized what they were doing.

The boy who was holding me down let go and threw me against a brick wall. The rough edges of the bricks came in contact with my back and I could feel the blood staining my white shirt.  

I lifted my body up, my legs wobbling. 

A new man with brown curls held my arms while the first one came closer to me, inch by inch, while I was watching in agony. 

He bent down so his face was inches away from mine and without thinking, I kicked him. (can you guess where?)

He groaned in pain, "You're going to pay for that bitch." In seconds he regained the same position. He punched me in the stomach and I struggled to stay consious.

He pulled me up by my hair and held up a knife.

Just as the tip of the knife ripped the flesh on my cheek, I heard a voice

The voice held up a gun and pointed it at the man with the knife, "let her go," 

"You wouldn't." His hand came in contact with the man's face.

My eyes started to close and the last thing I saw was him pick me up, "I've got you, they can't hurt you anymore."

I can't remeber in much detail what my attacker or my savior looked like. When I woke up, I was in Luke's apartment so he was obviously the one saved me. He told me that he called the police so they are in jail now. I tried hard to forget the memory, meaning I never asked Luke about it again.

After a while Luke said that he lived near the University so I could live with him and eventually we became a couple.

Back to reality

Reluctantly, I got up. As the pasta I made earlier defrosted, I got two glasses. 

It surprised me that the Luke who saved my life was the one standing in front of me. 

He kissed me lightly, "Now was that so hard?"

I didn't reply. I was still shaking from the memory.

He ate his pasta but I just played around with mine.

"Eat, they're going to think I'm starving you..." talking about the fans. All he would talk about were those fans. His life would revolve around pleasing paparazzi and fans. Pretty much everyone but his girlfriend.

I ate my food in silence, hoping to avoid anymore drama.

But what was standing behind the door didn't help.

AHA cliffhanger ending...

But anyway, first chapter what do you think?

And the sentence at the top of the chapter is the climax of the chapter. 

Shoutout to whoever figures out who the 5 boys are. 

Who/What do you think is behind the door?
