Torn

Chapter 10

It was a dark and snowy Friday night. I was on my way home from school and took the usual path through a large abandoned park. I had stayed late at school to finish all my homework so I could be free for the weekend. When I was halfway through the park, I heard a noise behind me. You seldom meet anyone in this park so I thought it was a little odd. I glanced over my shoulder and saw three teenage girls behind me. That calmed me down and I figured they were simply on their way home like me.

When I had walked through the park and turned in on a small road that leads to my house if you just walk straight ahead for ten minutes, I noticed that the girls behind me also turned in on the same road. I heard that they were walking faster now and were coming closer and closer to me. I too started to walk faster and when I did they started to run after me.

They caught up with me and two of them held me while the other one positioned herself straight ahead of me. She looked straight into my eyes and said: "You're a filthy slut. You have ruined Niall and taken him away from all his fans." Before I got the chance to answer she spit me straight in the face and one of them punched me so I fell to the ground.

Before they left one of them said: "Hope this teaches you a lesson. Stay away from Niall, you ugly bitch."

I just laid there for a couple a minutes, shocked, and couldn't move a muscle. I couldn't believe what had just happened and tried to make sense of it over and over again in my head. Eventually I got the strength to grab my phone.

I dialed Niall's number without even thinking what I was doing. It took a while before he answered but finally I heard his familiar voice through the phone: "Hey, it's Niall."

The moment I heard that I burst into tears. The only words I managed to press out were: "Please come and pick me up, I'm almost at my house."

Twenty minutes later Niall was there with me. I was sitting in the exact same spot where the girls had left me. Niall stepped out of the car and sat down beside me. He took me in his arms and once again I started to cry. He didn't ask anything, just sat there holding me, made me feel safe and it finally felt like I was going to be okay. I started to tell him everything, and the more I told the more I felt his muscles tighten and he stopped hugging me and let go of me. When I was done telling him what had happened, he stood up, walked over to his car and smashed the side window.

I don't remember that much more from that night. There was blood everywhere and I drove the fastest I have ever driven, to the hospital. After hours of Niall being treated they were finally done and Niall and I could go back home. Back at Niall's apartment, in bed wrapped in each other's arms, I fell asleep in an instant. I felt so safe with Niall's arms around me. Niall had a harder time falling asleep. He picked up his phone and went on Twitter. He wrote a tweet saying: "Today someone I love got really badly hurt by Directioners. I know that almost every one of you isn't like that. But this was too much for me. Going to shut down my Twitter for a while..."
