Niall's POV

I thought Nora wouldn't show up tonight. Obviously, I was wrong. Nora was dancing with some guy I didn't know. I wanted to walk up to her and have her dance with me.

She broke my heart, but it's still hers. She'll have my heart forever. No matter who try's to steal it, it's hers. I have to stand my ground and realize how much pain she's put me in.

"Niall." Destiny walked beside me, examining my Tuxedo. I bit my lip, holding in the tears. She reminded me of Nora.

"Niall, fight for her." Destiny whispered in my ear. She twirled around, leaving me.

Fight for her.

Fight for her.

The words chanted into my head. Everything felt dizzy. I walked to the punch table. I poured a cup for myself and quickly drank it.

"Niall?" A familar voice said behind me.

"N- Nor.. Nora?" I asked.

"Hi.." She glanced at me quickly and looked away. I felt my body relax. I always feel this way with her. Felt. I corrected myself.

"Nora, can I talk to you?" I asked her. She nodded yes, and I grabbed her hand to lead her to the table, but she quickly pulled away.

"This isn't right, Niall." Nora glared.

"Then I don't want it to be right," I replied. I could tell that gave her butterflies, because she blushed and tapped her hands on her leg.

"Nora, I love you. You made a mistake. We all make mistakes." I told her.

"I.. I love you too Niall. But, i'm not ready to start another relationship with you. I broke your heart. I need to know that it wont happen again." Nora admitted. She sniffled, and grabbed my hand. She looked into my eyes, and walked away, forgetting her punch. And me.

NORA'S POV-

Why did I just do that? I'm in love with Niall. He knows it, I know it.

I think I did it because of me loving him. I don't want to hurt him more than I have. His heart is already broken, what more could I do? I feel terrible about everything. I wanted to be his again. I can't risk it though.

"Why is a pretty lady like you walking all alone?" I had almost forgotten I had stormed outside. A man sneaked up beside me. A strong smell of whiskey lingered in his breath. I ignored him and carried on walking home.

"Baby, I never dismissed you." He yanked on my arm, swelling it with pain. I let out a sharp whimper.

"I don't know who you think you are, but I don't get told to be dismissed." I spat. He gritted his yellow teeth in return. His hands circulated my body, pulling up the bottom of my dress. I smacked his hand, causing him to yell.

"WHAT THE HELL." He yelled, charging after me. I ducked from his smack, but I wasn't quick enough. The man had pinned me to the concrete. He took multiple smacks to my face. I screamed in pain.

"Call me Joel. We will be seeing a lot more of each other."Joel cupped my cheeks. I bit his his finger.

"We have a sassy one, Miguel." Joel pulled me up from the concrete. After multiple struggles of me breaking free, a cloth covered my mouth.

**************************

Niall. He's all I could think about. He was the first thing that came to my mind. He always will be.

"Ni... Niall?" I blinked furiously. My head was pounding.

"Try again sweetheart. It's Joel." Joel yanked the roll of duck tape out of his mouth and placed it on my wrists.

"Your boy owes me." Joel coldly told me.

"For.. For what?" I asked.

"We have a long history line. I'll make you familiar with it soon." Joel spat in my face. Whiskey. That's all I could smell.

"But for now on, you need to shut up." Joel yanked the duck tape onto my face forcefully. I tried to scream through it, but there was no luck.

Ring, ring. Joel's phone sang in his pocket.

"It's Joel, we got her. No, Adele. Not yet at least," Joel winked at me.

"Fine, more careful.. I know, she's his. Of course..... Mhmm. Okay," Joel smacked his phone shut, making me flinch.

"Sweetheart, you think I'm bad. Wait until you meet Adele," Joel deviously laughed.

"Sleep tight, princess. You'll need the rest." Joel threw my body onto the bed. I kicked at his body, struggling. Joel laughed at my fail.

"Nice try." Joel walked out of the room, slamming the door.

I broke down. Why me? Why did I deserve this?
